- Raman microspectroscopy and chemometrics for the characterization of polymer-based microcarrier systems of active/photoactive compounds, AP.R
Abstract
Nowadays, biocompatible polymers have been widely studied as carriers of active/photoactive compounds, such as essential vitamins and phthalocyanines (FC). Vitamins are widely added to food products and dietary supplements in order to enhance health benefits, while FC are photosensitizing agents employed in the photodynamic therapy. FC are activated by visible radiation in order to prom...
- Using commercial enzymes to produce cellulose nanofibers from soybean straw, PUB.ART
Abstract
This study used commercial enzymes to isolate cellulose nanofibrils (CN) and produce sugars from chemically pretreated soybean straw (SS) (stem, leaves, and pods) by alkali (NaOH 5 or 17.5% v/v at 90 oC for 1h, or at 30 oC for 15 h) and bleaching (NaClO2 3.3% or H2O2 4%) pretreatments. Depending on the pretreatment the soybean straw underwent, the yield of CN varied from 6.3 to 7.5 g of...
- Byproducts recovery from carrot juice processing: extraction of phytochemical compounds, encapsulation and application in biodegradable films, BP.MS
Abstract
This project consists in optimizing the extraction of phytochemical compounds from byproducts obtained after carrot (Daucus carota) juice processing, encapsulate the compounds and then incorporate them into chitosan biodegradable films. Thus, three steps will be followed: (i) initially, an experimental design (22) will be performed to optimize the extraction of phenolic compounds and ca...
- Evaluation of the stability of Vitamin D3 encapsulated in chitosan-TPP using Raman microspectroscopy, BP.IC
Abstract
Vitamin D3 quantification is mainly performed via extraction and analysis in the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Raman microspectroscopy is a promising technique to evaluate the stability of this active compound over time without any sample preparation. Thus, the objectives of this study study will be: (i) to evaluate the potential of Raman microspectroscopy to distinguis...
- Isolation of cellulose nanofibers from soybean by-products using chemical, enzymatic and physical treatments, BP.IC
Abstract
The main aims of the present study are: to obtain and characterize cellulose nanofibers from soybean by-products (straw and bean pods) using different pretreatments (chemical, mechanical and enzymatic). First, the residue will be milled using knife and cryogenic mills. Then, chemical treatment (alkali treatment, bleaching/delignification) of the lignocellulosic biomass to obtain a fract...
- Isolation of cellulose nanofibers from soybean by-products and their applicability as reinforcement material in biodegradable films, BP.PD
Abstract
The main aims of the present study are: (i) to extract and characterize cellulose nanofibers from soybean by-products (straw and bean pods) using different pretreatments (chemical, mechanical and enzymatic) and, (ii) to evaluate the use of these nanofibers as potential reinforcement material to biocomposite applications (strengthening protein or starch based films). Initially the soybea...
