Biofilms from poly-vinyl alcohol/palmyra root sprout with Boswellia serrata, carbon dots and anthocyanin for sensing the freshness of sardine fish.

One of the main issues that customers worldwide have is food adulteration. In commercial packages, freshness cannot always be determined visually. Here, we propose sensitive films for use in food packaging that could alter colour to indicate a change in freshness.

Tissue Engineering Scaffold Material with Enhanced Cell Adhesion and Angiogenesis from Soy Protein Isolate Loaded with Bio Modulated Micro-TiO Prepared via Prolonged Sonication for Wound Healing Applications.

Tissue engineering is a technique that promotes healing by creating an ideal environment for endogenous cells to migrate and grow into the site of injury via a scaffold, improving regeneration and reducing the time required for in vitro cell culture. In this work, the effect of the addition of sonicated TiO in the soy protein isolate (SPI) matrix for tissue engineering applications was studied. In comparison to adding expensive nano TiO, this method of incorporating sonicated TiO into the SPI matrix will aid in achieving improved properties at a lower cost.

pH indicator films fabricated from soy protein isolate modified with chitin nanowhisker and flower extract.

Sensor films are finding wide range of applications. Different type of sensing films is fabricated for the identification of chemicals, ions, heavy metals, changes in the pH, etc. The present report is on the fabrication of pH sensitive films from completely natural sources-soy protein isolate, chitin nano whiskers and flower extract.

Development of starch based intelligent films by incorporating anthocyanins of butterfly pea flower and TiO and their applicability as freshness sensors for prawns during storage.

Intelligent pH sensitive starch films were developed by incorporation of anthocyanin pigment extracted from butterfly pea flower (BPE) and nanosized TiO using the method of solution casting. This research work evaluated the influence of BPE and TiO on the physical and structural properties of starch films. The physical properties of the starch films could be significantly altered by the addition of BPE and or TiO.
