Blend films based on cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) ventral skin gelatin (CG) and mungbean protein isolate (MPI) at different blend ratios (CG/MPI = 10:0, 8:2, 6:4, 4:6, 2:8 and 0:10, w/w) prepared at pH 11 using 50% glycerol (based on total protein) as plasticizer were characterized. CG films incorporated with MPI at increasing amounts had the decreases in tensile strength (TS) (p < 0.05). The increases in elongation at break (EAB) were observed when CG/MPI ratios of 6:4 or 4:6 were used (p < 0.05). Decreased water vapor permeability (WVP) was obtained for films having the increasing proportion of MPI (p < 0.05). CG/MPI blend films with higher MPI proportion had lower film solubility and L*-values (lightness) but higher b*-values (yellowness) and ΔE*-values (total color difference) (p < 0.05). Electrophoretic study revealed that disulfide bond was present in MPI and CG/MPI blend films. However, hydrogen bonds between CG and MPI in the film matrix were dominant, as elucidated from FTIR spectroscopic analysis. Moreover, thermal stability of CG/MPI blend film was improved as compared to that of films from respective single proteins. Differential scanning calorimetry result suggested solid-state morphology of CG/MPI (6:4) blend film that consisted of amorphous phase of partially miscible CG/MPI mixture and the coexisting two different order phases of individual CG and MPI domains. Thus, the incorporation of MPI into gelatin film could improve the properties of resulting blend film, which were governed by CG/MPI ratio. 相似文献

A series of starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films, denoted SP films, with varying concentrations (5–30 wt%) of citric acid (CA) were solvent cast at 140 °C. The effects of CA on the chemical structure, thermal properties, swelling degree, mechanical properties, crystallinity, and cytotoxicity were investigated. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy showed that an esterification took place between CA and starch (or PVA) during molding at 140 °C. This esterification and the multi-carboxyl structure of CA resulted in a chemical cross-linking of the blended system. Furthermore, the esterification occurred more easily between starch and CA as opposed to between the PVA and CA. The residual-free CA acted as a plasticizer for the starch and PVA. As compared to the hydroxyl groups on glycerol, the carboxyl groups on CA were capable of forming stronger hydrogen bonds between CA and other components, and this cross-linking and strong hydrogen bonding enhanced the thermal stability of the SP films. Consequently, the water absorbance decreased from 33% to 20% as the CA percentage increased from 5 to 30 wt%. When 5 wt% CA was added, the tensile strength of the sample increased from 39 to 48 MPa, but when even more CA was added (from 5 to 30 wt%), the tensile strength decreased from 48 to 42 MPa and the elongation at break increased from 102% to 208%. This was caused by the plasticizing effect of the residual-free CA in the blend. The cell relative growth rates of samples with varying CA concentrations exceeded 80% after 7 days of incubation, and this demonstrated that there was no significant toxicity on the cells’ growth when the CA content was less than 20 wt%. 相似文献

New edible composite films based on kefiran and oleic acid (OA) at the ratio of 15, 25, and 35% (w/w) were prepared using emulsification with the aim of improving their water vapour barrier and mechanical properties. Film-forming solutions were characterized in terms of rheological properties and particle-size distribution. The impact of the incorporation of OA into the film matrix was studied by investigating the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the films. The water vapour permeability (WVP) of the emulsified films was reduced by approximately 33% by adding OA. The mechanical properties of kefiran films were also affected by adding OA: tensile strength was diminished, and elongation increased considerably. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the kefiran film was −16 °C and was not considerably affected by adding OA. Therefore, OA could be incorporated into these films for some food-technology applications that need a low affinity toward water. 相似文献

The biodegradability, morphology, mechanical, and thermal properties of composite materials composed of maleic anhydride-grafted poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and cellulose acetate (CA) were evaluated. Composites containing maleic anhydride-grafted PBAT (PBAT-g-MA/CA) exhibited noticeably superior mechanical properties due to greater compatibility between the two components. The dispersion of CA in the PBAT-g-MA matrix was highly homogeneous as a result of ester formation, and the consequent creation of branched and cross-linked macromolecules between the anhydride carboxyl groups of PBAT-g-MA and hydroxyl groups in CA. Each composite was buried in soil and monitored to assess biodegradability. Both the PBAT and the PBAT-g-MA/CA composite films were eventually completely degraded, and severe disruption of film structure was observed after 60-100 days of incubation. Although the degree of weight loss after burial indicated that both materials were biodegradable, even with high levels of CA, the higher water resistance of PBAT-g-MA/CA films indicated that they were more biodegradable than those made of PBAT. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to characterize chayotextle starch films reinforced with cellulose (C) and cellulose nanoparticle (CN) (at concentrations of 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8% and 1.2%), using thermal, mechanical, physicochemical, permeability, and water solubility tests. C was acid-treated to obtain CN. The films were prepared by casting; potato starch and C were used as the control. The solubility of the starch films decreased with the addition of C and CN compared with its respective film without C and CN. No statistical difference (α = 0.05) was found in the films added with different concentrations of C and CN. In general, the mechanical properties were improved with the addition of C and CN, and higher values of tensile strength and elastic modulus were determined in the films reinforced with CN. The melting temperature and enthalpy increased with the addition of C and CN, and the values of both thermal parameters were higher in the films with CN than with C; the enthalpy value of the film decreased when the concentration of C or CN increased in the composite. Low concentration of C and CN is better distributed in the matrix film. The addition of C and CN in the starch films improved some mechanical, barrier, and functional properties. 相似文献

Mechanical,barrier and morphological properties of pea starch and peanut protein isolate blend films
Mechanical, barrier and morphological properties of edible films based on blends of Pea starch (PS) and Peanut protein isolate (PPI) plasticized with glycerol (30%, w/w) were investigated. As PPI ratio in PS/PPI blends increased, the thickness of films decreased, the opacity slightly elevated and color intensified. The addition of PPI to the PS film significantly reduced tensile strength from 5.44 MPa to 3.06 MPa, but increased elongation from 28.56% to 98.12% with the incorporation of PPI into PS at 50% level. Film solubility value fell from 22.31% to 9.78% upon the incorporation of PPI ranged from 0 to 50% level. When PPI was added into PS film at 40% level, the WVP and WVTR of the films markedly dropped from 11.18% to 4.19% and 6.16 to 1.95%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the surface of films showed that many swollen starch granules were presented in the 100% PS film, while 100% PPI film was observed to have rougher surfaces with presence of pores or cavities. The PS/PPI blend films upon the incorporation of PPI at 20% and 50% level were not homogeneous. However, the smoother film surface was observed in PS/PPI blend films with the addition of PPI at 40% level. SEM image of the cross-sections of the films revealed that the 100% PS film showed a uniform and compact matrix without disruption, and pore formation and 100% PPI film displayed a smooth structure. Rougher and flexible network was shown in blend film with the addition of PPI reaching 40% level. 相似文献

Hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was used to simultaneously determine three Aconitum alkaloids, including aconitine (AC), hypaconitine (HA) and mesaconitine (MA) in human urine sample. Analytes were extracted from 5 mL urine sample containing 1.0 mmol/L NaOH into 1-octanol membrane phase impregnated in the pores of hollow fiber wall, and then back extracted into acidified aqueous solution in the lumen of the hollow fiber. After extraction, 10 μL of the acceptor phase was analyzed directly by HPLC. In this method, some important extraction parameters, such as organic solvent, extraction time, stirring rate, pH of donor phase and acceptor phase, temperature, and the volume of acceptor phase were optimized. This method provided 98- to 288-fold enrichment factors within 60 min of extraction and good repeatability with RSDs of 0.99–7.22%. The calibration curves were linear over the ranges of 16.0–128.0 μg/L for AC, 11.0–88.0 μg/L for HA and 8.1–64.8 μg/L for MA in human urine sample, with correlation coefficients of 0.9949, 0.9969 and 0.9904, respectively. Limits of detection were from 0.7 to 1.5 μg/L, and recoveries from spiked urine sample varied from 84.4% to 106.2% for AC, 77.3% to 85.6% for HA and 90.1% to 100.8% for MA. 相似文献

In the present study, using an in vivo approach (a microdialysis technique associated to HPLC with fluorimetric detection) and in vitro purified hippocampal synaptosomes in superfusion, we investigated the glycinergic transmission in the hippocampus, focusing on the nicotinic control of glycine (GLY) release. The acute administration of nicotine in vivo was able to evoke endogenous GLY release in the rat hippocampus. The specific nicotinic agonists PHA-543613 hydrochloride (PHA543613) selective for the α7 nicotinic receptor subtype administered in vivo also elicited GLY release in a similar extent, while the α4β2 agonist 5-IA85380 dihydrochloride (5IA85380) was less effective. Nicotine elicited GLY overflow also from hippocampal synaptosomes in vitro. This overflow was Ca2+-dependent and inhibited by methyllycaconitine (MLA), but was not modified by dihydro-beta-erythroidine (DHβE, 1 μM). Choline(Ch)-evoked GLY overflow was Ca2+ dependent, unaltered in presence of DHβE and blocked by methyllycaconitine (MLA). Additionally, 5IA85380 elicited a GLY overflow, which in turn was Ca2+ dependent, was significantly inhibited by DHβE but was unaffected by MLA. The GLY overflow produced by these nicotinic agonists quantitatively resembles that evoked by 9 mM KCl. The effects of a high concentration of 5IA85380 (1 mM), in the presence of 2 μM DHβE, on the release of GLY was also studied comparatively to that on glutamate and aspartate release. The nicotinic agonist 5IA85380 tested at high concentration (1 mM) was able to produce a stimulatory effect of endogenous release of the three amino acids, even in the presence of 2 μM DHβE, indicating the existence of a DHβE resistant, α4β2 nAChR subtype with a functional role in the modulation of GLY, ASP, and GLU release. Our results show that in the rat hippocampus the release of GLY is, at least in part, of neuronal origin and is modulated by the activation of both α7 and α4β2 (low and high affinity) nAChR subtypes. 相似文献

Regenerated films were successfully prepared from cellulose/NaOH/urea solution by coagulating with water at temperature from 25 to 45 °C. The results of solid 13C NMR, wide angle X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile testing revealed that the cellulose films possessed homogeneous structure and cellulose II crystalline, similar to that prepared previously by coagulating with 5 wt% H2SO4. By changing the coagulation temperature from 25 to 45 °C, tensile strength of the films was in the range of 85-139 MPa. Interestingly, the RC35 film coagulated at 35 °C exhibited the highest tensile strength (σb = 139 MPa). The inclusion complex associated with cellulose, NaOH and urea hydrates in the cellulose solution were broken by adding water (non-solvent), leading to the self-association of cellulose to regenerate through rearrangement of the hydrogen bonds. This work provided low-cost and “green” pathway to prepare cellulose films, which is important in industry. 相似文献

Properties of biopolymers produced by transglutaminase treatment of whey protein isolate and gelatin
Eduard Hernàndez-Balada Maryann M. Taylor John G. Phillips William N. Marmer Eleanor M. Brown 《Bioresource technology》2009,100(14):3638-3643
Byproduct utilization is an important consideration in the development of sustainable processes. Whey protein isolate (WPI), a byproduct of the cheese industry, and gelatin, a byproduct of the leather industry, were reacted individually and in blends with microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) at pH 7.5 and 45 °C. When a WPI (10% w/w) solution was treated with mTGase (10 U/g) under reducing conditions, the viscosity increased four-fold and the storage modulus (G′) from 0 to 300 Pa over 20 h. Similar treatment of dilute gelatin solutions (0.5–3%) had little effect. Addition of gelatin to 10% WPI caused a synergistic increase in both viscosity and G′, with the formation of gels at concentrations greater than 1.5% added gelatin. These results suggest that new biopolymers, with improved functionality, could be developed by mTGase treatment of protein blends containing small amounts of gelatin with the less expensive whey protein. 相似文献

The host-guest inclusion system of ethyl substituted β-cyclodextrin (DE-β-CD) with mangiferin (MA) was investigated by fluorescence spectra in solution. The results showed that the MA was encapsulated in the DE-β-CD’s cavity to form a 2:1 stoichiometry host-guest inclusion complex (DE-β-CD/MA) and the inclusion constant (K = 3.04 × 106 L2/mol2) was confirmed by the typical double reciprocal plots. Furthermore, several experimental conditions were optimized in order to obtain the maximum fluorescence signal. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters, Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), enthalpy change (ΔH°) and entropy change (ΔS°) of DE-β-CD/MA were obtained by the Van’t Hoff equation. A spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of MA in solution in the presence of DE-β-CD was developed based on the remarkable enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of MA. The linear range was 2.00 × 10−8-7.00 × 10−6 mol/L and the detection limit was 4.05 × 10−9 mol/L. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of MA in serum with the satisfactory result. 相似文献

Highly substituted sago starch phosphate was synthesized using POCl3 as cross-linking reagent. Titrimetric and Fourier transform infra red (FT-IR) spectral analysis were used to characterize the substitution. Studying the different factors affecting the reaction parameters showed that the optimal conditions for starch phosphorylation were: 4 h reaction time and reagent concentration 1.5% (w/w). The physicochemical properties of cross-linked sago starch (CLSS) were done using Scanning electron micrograph (SEM), X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results revealed that crystalline nature of native sago starch was transformed after cross-linking. TGA report exhibited higher thermal stability, which makes it suitable for various industrial applications. Swelling behavior showed high swelling at low temperature (30 and 60 °C) as compared to high temperature (90 °C). 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are involved in the disruption of blood–brain barrier (BBB) during migraine attacks. In the present study, we hypothesized that two functional polymorphisms (C− 1306T and C− 735T) in MMP-2 gene and MMP-2 haplotypes are associated with migraine and modify MMP-2 and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP)-2 levels in migraine. Genotypes for MMP-2 polymorphisms were determined by real time-PCR using Taqman allele discrimination assays. Haplotypes were inferred using the PHASE program. Plasma MMP-2 and TIMP-2 concentrations were measured by gelatin zymography and ELISA, respectively, in 148 healthy women without history of migraine and in 204 women with migraine (153 without aura; MWA, and 51 with aura; MA). Patients with MA had higher plasma MMP-2 concentrations and MMP-2/TIMP-2 ratios than patients with MWA and controls (P < 0.05). While MMP-2 genotype and haplotype distributions for the polymorphisms were similar among the groups (P > 0.05), we found that the CC genotype for C− 735T polymorphism and the CC haplotype were associated with higher plasma MMP-2 concentrations in MA group (P < 0.05). Our findings may help to understand the role of MMP-2 and its genetic variants in the pathophysiology of migraine and to identify a particular group of migraine patients with increased MMP-2 levels that would benefit from the use of MMP inhibitors. 相似文献

Simultaneous production of citric acid (CA) and invertase by Yarrowia lipolytica A-101-B56-5 (SUC+ clone) growing from sucrose, mixture of glucose and fructose, glucose or glycerol was investigated. Among the tested substrates the highest concentration of CA was reached from glycerol (57.15 g/L) with high yield (YCA/S = 0.6 g/g). When sucrose was used, comparable amount of CA was secreted (45 g/L) with slightly higher yield (YCA/S = 0.643 g/g). In all cultures amount of isocitrate (ICA) was below 2% of total citrates. Considering invertase production, the best carbon source appeared to be sucrose (72 380 U/L). The highest yield of CA and invertase biosynthesis calculated for 1 g of biomass was obtained for cells growing from glycerol (9.9 g/g and 4325 U/g, respectively). Concentrates of extra- and intracellular invertase of the highest activity were obtained from sucrose as substrate (0.5 and 1.8 × 106 U/L, respectively). 相似文献

Plastic materials for food packaging are being replaced by biodegradable films based on biopolymers due to the adverse effects they have had on animal life and the environment. In this study, nanocomposite films containing 2.5 wt% sodium caseinate and 2 wt% glycerol were reinforced with 0.1 or 0.2 wt% nano TiO2 prepared in two forms: spheres (P25) and tubes. The effects of nanoreinforcement geometry on mechanical, tensile, barrier, thermogravimetric, and optical properties, and distribution of nanoparticles were described. The interactions among film components were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Addition of nanotubes significantly increased E' (341 wt%) and E" (395 wt%) moduli, the Young modulus E (660 wt%), the residual mass at 500°C (38 wt%), and color change (6.78) compared to control film. The compositional mapping studies showed that P25 nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed between the surfaces of the film while nanotubes were found on the bottom surface. The changes in position of the FTIR spectra signals as compared to pure protein signals indicated strong matrix/reinforcement interactions. In addition, the changes in intensity in 1100, 1033, and 1638 cm−1 FTIR signals suggested formation of a protein/Tween 20 ester. The geometry of reinforcement was highly relevant regarding physical properties, showing nanotubes as being very successful for enhancing tensile properties. 相似文献

Dodecanol was covalently coupled to sodium alginate (NaAlg) via ester functions using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC-HCl) as a coupling reagent to provide an amphiphilic dodecanol alginate (DA) for subsequent use in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion application. The structure of DA was confirmed by FT-IR spectrometry. The stability of the emulsions prepared with different concentrations (0.3-1.2 wt%) of DA or 1.0 wt% NaAlg was evaluated by measuring droplet size, microstructure, viscosity and creaming. The results showed that the emulsions containing 1.0 wt% NaAlg, 0.3 and 0.5 wt% DA were unstable and the emulsions containing 0.8-1.2 wt% DA presented better stability during storage. 相似文献

This study aimed to develop films for potential delivery of omeprazole (OME) via the buccal mucosa of paediatric patients. Films were prepared using hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), methylcellulose (MC), sodium alginate (SA), carrageenan (CA) and metolose (MET) with polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) as plasticiser, OME (model drug) and L-arg (stabiliser). Gels (1% w/w) were prepared at 40°C using water and ethanol with PEG 400 (0–1% w/w) and dried in an oven (40°C). Optimised formulations containing OME and L-arg (1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) were prepared to investigate the stabilisation of the drug. Tensile properties (Texture analysis, TA), physical form (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC; X-ray diffraction, XRD; thermogravimetric analysis, TGA) and surface topography (scanning electron microscopy, SEM) were investigated. Based on the TA results, SA and MET films were chosen for OME loading and stabilisation studies as they showed a good balance between flexibility and toughness. Plasticised MET films were uniform and smooth whilst unplasticised films demonstrated rough lumpy surfaces. SA films prepared from aqueous gels showed some lumps on the surface, whereas SA films prepared from ethanolic gels were smooth and uniform. Drug-loaded gels showed that OME was unstable and therefore required addition of L-arg. The DSC and XRD suggested molecular dispersion of drug within the polymeric matrix. Plasticised (0.5% w/w PEG 400) MET films prepared from ethanolic (20% v/v) gels and containing OME: L-arg 1:2 showed the most ideal characteristics (transparency, ease of peeling and flexibility) and was selected for further investigation.KEY WORDS: buccal drug delivery, omeprazole, oral films, paediatric, plasticiser 相似文献

The finding of measurable amounts of 19-norandrostenedione in norethisterone tablets prompted us to develop an assay to quantify this steroid. 19-Norandrostenedione is an anabolic steroid whose use in sport is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The assay was developed using isotope dilution and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the quantification of 19-norandrostenedione in norethisterone formulations, with [3,4-13C2]-19-norandrostenedione as the internal standard. The results showed amounts up to 1.01 ± 0.01 μg (mean ± S.E.M.) per tablet in those containing 5 mg of norethisterone or norethisterone acetate (0.02%, w/w) and up to 0.5 ± 0.01 μg (mean ± S.E.M.) per tablet (0.05%, w/w) in oral contraceptive tablets containing 0.35-1.5 mg of norethisterone or norethisterone acetate. No tablet tested exceeded the British Pharmacopoeia limit of 0.1% for this impurity. 相似文献

The interactions between κ-carrageenan and chitosan, two oppositely charged polysaccharides, have been investigated through microcalorimetric and quartz crystal microbalance measurements. Microcalorimetric measurements show that κ-carrageenan/chitosan interaction is an exothermic process and that the alternate deposition of κ-carrageenan and chitosan results in the formation of a nanolayered coating mainly due to the electrostatic interactions existing between the two polyelectrolytes (though other types of interactions may also be involved). Quartz crystal microbalance measurements confirmed that the alternating deposition of κ-carrageenan and chitosan resulted in the formation of a stable multilayer structure. The κ-carrageenan/chitosan nanolayered coating, assembled on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) support, was characterized in terms of its surface (contact angle measurements) and gas barrier properties (water vapor and O2 permeabilities) and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The water vapor permeability (WVP) and the oxygen permeability (O2P) of the κ-carrageenan/chitosan nanolayers were found to be 0.020 ± 0.002 × 10−11 and 0.043 ± 0.027 × 10−14 g m−1 s−1 Pa−1, respectively. These results contribute to a better understanding of the type of interactions that play role during the construction of this type of nanostructures. This knowledge can be used in the establishment of an approach to produce edible, biodegradable multilayered nanostructures with improved mechanical and barrier properties for application in, e.g. food and biomedical industries. 相似文献

In this study, a dry assay of l-lactate via the enzymatic chromatographic test (ECT) was developed. An l-lactate dehydrogenase plus a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) regeneration reaction were applied simultaneously. Various tetrazolium salts were screened to reveal visible color intensities capable of determining the lactate concentrations in the sample. The optimal analysis conditions were as follows. The diaphorase (0.5 μl, 2−6 U/μl) was immobilized in the test line of the ECT strip. Nitrotetrazolium blue chloride (5 μl, 12 mM), l-lactate dehydrogenase (1 μl, 0.25 U/μl), and NAD+ (2 μl, 1.5 × 10−5 M) were added into the mobile phase (100 μl) composed of 0.1% (w/w) Tween 20 in 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 9.0), and the process was left to run for 10 min. This detection had a linear range of 0.039 to 5 mM with a detection limit of 0.047 mM. This quantitative analysis process for l-lactate was easy to operate with good stability and was proper for the point-of-care testing applications. 相似文献
