Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose nanowhiskers from coconut husk fibers: Effect of preparation conditions on their thermal and morphological behavior
Morsyleide de Freitas Rosa,Morsyleide de Freitas Rosa,Eliton S. Medeiros,Eliton S. Medeiros,José Antonio Malmonge,Kay S. Gregorski,Delilah F. Wood,Luiz H. C. Mattoso,G. M. Glenn,William J. Orts,Syed H. Imam +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of preparation conditions on the thermal and morphological behavior of the nanocrystals were investigated and a possible correlation between preparation conditions and particle size was not observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fiber treatments on tensile and thermal properties of starch/ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers/coir biocomposites.
Morsyleide de Freitas Rosa,Bor-Sen Chiou,Eliton S. Medeiros,Eliton S. Medeiros,Delilah F. Wood,Tina G. Williams,Luiz H. C. Mattoso,William J. Orts,Syed H. Imam +8 more
TL;DR: Coir fibers received three treatments, namely washing with water, alkali treatment (mercerization) and bleaching, which produced surface modifications and improved the thermal stability of the fibers and consequently of the composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drying and quality characteristics of fresh and sugar-infused blueberries dried with infrared radiation heating
Junling Shi,Zhongli Pan,Zhongli Pan,Tara H. McHugh,Delilah F. Wood,Edward Hirschberg,Donald A. Olson +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the finished product quality and infrared (IR) drying characteristics of fresh and sugar-infused blueberries dried with a catalytic infrared (CIR) dryer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composite edible films based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose reinforced with microcrystalline cellulose nanoparticles
Crisitina Bilbao-Sainz,Roberto J. Avena-Bustillos,Delilah F. Wood,Tina G. Williams,Tara H. McHugh +4 more
TL;DR: It was found that, in spite of the increase in water diffusivity values with the incorporation of MCC to HPMC films, better moisture barrier properties were achieved for H PMC/MCC and HPMc/LC-MCC composite films than for HPMP films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remodeling the isoprenoid pathway in tobacco by expressing the cytoplasmic mevalonate pathway in chloroplasts.
Shashi Kumar,Frederick M. Hahn,Edward E. K. Baidoo,Talwinder S. Kahlon,Delilah F. Wood,Colleen M. McMahan,Katrina Cornish,Jay D. Keasling,Henry Daniell,Maureen C. Whalen +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first time an entire eukaryotic pathway with six enzymes has been transplastomically expressed in plants and a viable multigene strategy for engineering metabolism in plants is developed.
