Cold water fish gelatin modification by a natural phenolic cross-linker (ferulic acid and caffeic acid).

Nowadays use of edible films and coatings is increasing due to their biodegradability and environment friendly properties. Fish gelatin obtained from fish skin wastage can be used as an appropriate protein compound for replacing pork gelatin to produce edible film. In this study films were prepared by combination of fish gelatin and different concentration (0%, 1%, 3%, and 5%) of two phenolic compounds (caffeic acid and ferulic acid).

Effect of methyl cellulose coating on physicochemical properties, porosity, and surface diameter of pistachio hull.

Pistachio is a nut with high consumption that can be affected by aflatoxin contamination. Regarding influence of this fungus on global trade, broad studies in this area seem to be necessary. In this research, pistachio nuts were coated with methyl cellulose at different concentrations of 0.

Molecular iodine promoted synthesis of new pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives as potential antibacterial agents.

Iodocyclization of 5-amino-1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-1H-4-pyrazolcarboxamides with aromatic aldehydes gave a new series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives in a single step and their antibacterial activity comparable to Streptomycin as reference drug was evaluated.
