Microwave-assisted extraction of sulfated polysaccharides (fucoidan) from brown seaweed

TL;DR: In this article, a microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method was used to extract fucoidan from brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus under different conditions of pressure (30-120psi), extraction time (1-31min), and alga/water ratio (1/25 to 5/25 g/ml−1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of a chitosan-based edible film as carrier of natamycin to improve the storability of Saloio cheese

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of chitosan coating containing natamycin on the physicochemical and microbial properties of semi-hard cheese were evaluated, and the results showed that the coating increased O2 and CO2 permeability, increasing from 7.12 to 7.68, and from 10.69 to 64.58.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physicochemical properties of alginate-based films: Effect of ionic crosslinking and mannuronic and guluronic acid ratio

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of calcium chloride (CaCl2) crosslinking and the mannuronic (M) and guluronic acid ratio (M/G) of alginate structure in the films' properties was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of alginate molecular weight and M/G ratio in beads properties foreseeing the protection of probiotics

TL;DR: Alginate-based beads were produced using an external gelation process (extrusion technique) where variables regarding the processing conditions and alginate chemical characteristics were studied to assess their relevance in this process aiming the most efficient encapsulation system.
