Effect of ferulic acid and α-tocopherol antioxidants on properties of sodium caseinate edible films
2011
Edible films, based on sodium caseinate containing three different concentrations of ferulic acid or alpha-tocopherol (20, 40 and 60 mg/g sodium caseinate), were obtained in order to evaluate the effect of these compounds on properties of the caseinate matrices. Special emphasis was placed on their effect on the films' oxygen barrier properties, which are decisive in the prevention of the oxidation of foods containing lipids. Films were characterized as to their tensile, optical and surface properties as well as their barrier properties to water vapor, oxygen and aroma compounds (n-hexanal and n-hexanol). Ferulic acid was more efficient at reducing oxygen and n-hexanal permeability than alp…
Influence of interactions on water and aroma permeabilities of ι-carrageenan–oleic acid–beeswax films used for flavour encapsulation
2009
The objective of this work is to investigate the water and aroma barrier properties of films obtained from ι-carrageenan containing glycerol and lipids mixtures of oleic acid (OA) and beeswax (BW) used for encapsulation of active compounds. Water vapor permeability (WVP) is greatly influenced by lipid composition, encapsulated aroma compound and also relative humidity. WVP decreases when films contain encapsulated aroma compound but increases when the moisture content in the films increases. When oleic acid was the main compound of lipid phase, the plasticizing effect of water revealed through water permeability is less marked. The results of ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate, …
Study of the retention and release of n-hexanal incorporated into soy protein isolate–lipid composite films
2010
[EN] This work deals with the study of the kinetic of aroma release, which had been previously incorporated into soy protein isolate (SPI)-lipid composite films. The aim was to determine the influence of type and amount of lipidic material on aroma (n-hexanal) release and retention, as well as the apparent diffusion coefficients. To carry out this study it have been employed SPI-based films containing two SPI:LIPID ratios (1:0.25 and 1:0.5), and two types of lipids, oleic acid (OA) and beeswax (BW), in OA:BW ratios 100:0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70 and 0:100. The measurements were performed by a gas chromatography technique. The films that showed more retention were SPI:LIPID 1:0.5 100% BW and con…
