Interactions of delivery systems modulating the digestibility of plant‐based proteins

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant‐based proteins are gaining interest as sustainable alternatives to animal‐derived proteins, but their digestibility is often lower and strongly influenced by protein structure, processing history, and food‐matrix interactions. This review critically examines how emulsions, hydrogels, micro‐ and nanoparticles, micelles, liposomes ...

Modulation of oxidative metabolism and quality preservation of strawberries by a CMC–alginate bilayer edible coating during cold storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Strawberries are highly perishable fruits characterized by rapid postharvest deterioration, leading to significant quality losses and reduced marketability. In this study, a bilayer edible coating based on carboxymethylcellulose and sodium alginate was evaluated for its ability to preserve strawberry quality during cold storage ...

Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.
