Pectin obtention from agroindustrial wastes of using green solvents (citric acid and natural deep eutectic solvents). Chemical, thermal, and rheological characterization.

The use of green solvents, citric acid (CA), and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) for the obtention of pectin from wastes (pulp and peel) of was studied. The NADES used comprised citric acid-glucose-water (N1) or lactic acid-glucose-water (N2). The fractions rich in pectin obtained after exposure to NADES showed lower yield (≈4 g/100 g CA vs.

Development and Characterization of Edible Films Based on Cassava Starch Modified by Corona Treatment.

Corona treatment (CT), a surface treatment widely used in the plastic industry, can be used to alter the properties of cassava starch. In the present work, CT was performed on dry granular starch (DS), water-suspended humid granular starch (HS), and gelatinized starch (GS). Different properties and structural characteristics of treated starches were studied.

Plum (Prunus salicina) peel and pulp microparticles as natural antioxidant additives in breast chicken patties.

Fiber microparticles (MPCs) separately obtained from peel and pulp of Japanese plum residues contained co-extracted β-carotene, lutein, and α- and γ-tocopherols, as well as polyphenols (cyanidins, quercetin derivatives, pentameric proanthocyanidins). Peel and pulp MPCs were then separately evaluated as natural antioxidant additives (2.0% w/w level) in raw breast chicken patty, susceptible to oxidation.
