Journal ArticleDOI
New EU regulation aspects and global market of active and intelligent packaging for food industry applications
Donatella Restuccia,U. Gianfranco Spizzirri,Ortensia Ilaria Parisi,Giuseppe Cirillo,Manuela Curcio,Francesca Iemma,Francesco Puoci,Giuliana Vinci,Nevio Picci +8 more
TL;DR: Active and intelligent packaging as discussed by the authors is based on a deliberate interaction of the packaging with the food and/or its direct environment to improve food quality and safety, such technology includes advances in delayed oxidation and controlled respiration rate, microbial growth, and moisture migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covalent insertion of antioxidant molecules on chitosan by a free radical grafting procedure.
Manuela Curcio,Francesco Puoci,Francesca Iemma,Ortensia Ilaria Parisi,Giuseppe Cirillo,Umile Gianfranco Spizzirri,Nevio Picci +6 more
TL;DR: The good antioxidant activity shown by functionalized materials proved the efficiency of the reaction method and the formation of covalent bonds between antioxidant and biopolymer was verified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer in Agriculture: a Review
Francesco Puoci,Francesca Iemma,Umile Gianfranco Spizzirri,Giuseppe Cirillo,Manuela Curcio,Nevio Picci +5 more
TL;DR: This report will review the key aspects of used polymers in agricultural area, highlighting current research in this field and the future impacts they may have.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of antioxidant polymers by grafting of gallic acid and catechin on gelatin.
Umile Gianfranco Spizzirri,Francesca Iemma,Francesco Puoci,Giuseppe Cirillo,Manuela Curcio,Ortensia Ilaria Parisi,Nevio Picci +6 more
TL;DR: Results clearly showed that antioxidant moieties covalently bounded to a natural polymer allow to introduce in the macromolecule peculiar features for specific industrial applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecularly imprinted polymers in drug delivery: state of art and future perspectives
Francesco Puoci,Giuseppe Cirillo,Manuela Curcio,Ortensia Ilaria Parisi,Francesca Iemma,Nevio Picci +5 more
TL;DR: Recent advances in the use of external stimuli to modulate drug release, as well as the synthetic strategies devoted to increase the water compatibility of these systems, which is a base requirement for their application in biomedicine.
