Biodegradable Coatings with Essential Oils for Combating Papaya Anthracnose: State of the Art and Perspectives

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Papaya (Carica papaya L.) production and marketability are strongly constrained by postharvest diseases, with anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. representing the most significant threat. Traditional control relies on synthetic fungicides, which, although effective, face challenges such as the development of pathogen resistance ...

Chitosan‐Based pH‐Responsive Films and Edible Coatings to Enhance Fruit Shelf‐Life: Impact of Plant Biomolecules and Composition

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Chitosan based coatings/films forming solution with the use ofplant extracts and parameters for fruit shelf life analysis. ABSTRACT Fresh fruits are a natural source of various minerals and vitamins, which are essential for human health. However, a rapid rate of respiration, water loss and fast ripening ability result in shorter shelf life and ...

Aloe vera Tannin Ameliorates Fructose‐Induced Dyslipidaemia and Oxidative Stress in Wistar Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Aloe vera tannin (AVT) significantly enhances liver reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase activities in rats. Fructose consumption creates dyslipidaemia in rats by significantly increasing serum cholesterol and LDL levels. AVT prevented fructose‐induced dyslipidaemia in rats by controlling the lipid profile. AVT did not affect liver, hippocampus

Nutritional Potential, Phytochemical Content, In Vivo Antioxidant, and Antanemic Potential of Musa paradisiaca Flower

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
After collecting Musa paradisiaca leaves, some were dried and others were used to produce aqueous extracts. The extracts and powders were characterized and then administered to rats made anaemic by PHZ. After 14 days of administration of the two samples, the rats were euthanized and it was observed that after 9 days of treatment, the aqueous extract ...

Synthetically Modified Tara and Oak Gall Nut Tannin‐Based Corrosion Inhibitors for Combating the Corrosive Influence of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans on Mild Steel

International Journal of Corrosion
Natural tara and oak gall nut tannins, which lack corrosion inhibitive properties, were modified using gum arabic and tested against microbial corrosion induced by Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans under isothermal condition (28°C). Mild steel coated with the modified tannins was exposed to the causative under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Based on the
