Journal ArticleDOI
Functional and bioactive properties of collagen and gelatin from alternative sources: A review
TL;DR: The present work is a compilation of recent information on collagen and gelatin extraction from new sources, as well as new processing conditions and potential novel or improved applications, many of which are largely based on induced cross-linking, blending with other biopolymers or enzymatic hydrolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable gelatin-chitosan films incorporated with essential oils as antimicrobial agents for fish preservation.
Joaquín Gómez-Estaca,A.M. López de Lacey,María Elvira López-Caballero,María del Carmen Gómez-Guillén,Pilar Montero +4 more
TL;DR: When the complex gelatin-chitosan film incorporating clove essential oil was applied to fish during chilled storage, the growth of microorganisms was drastically reduced in gram-negative bacteria, especially enterobacteria, while lactic acid bacteria remained practically constant for much of the storage period.
Journal ArticleDOI
A chitosan–gelatin blend as a coating for fish patties
María Elvira López-Caballero,María del Carmen Gómez-Guillén,Miriam Pérez-Mateos,Pilar Montero +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a coating made in cold from a blend of a chitosan and a gelatin solution was applied to patties made of chilled cod, and its preservative effect was assessed by colour measurements, rheological measurements (hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, chewiness, gumminess, and adhesiveness), biochemical determinations (total volatile bases and thiobarbituric acid as measures of rancidity) and microbiological assays (total bacterial counts, luminiscent bacteria, enterobacteria, pseudomonas, lactic
Journal ArticleDOI
Release of active compounds from agar and agar-gelatin films with green tea extract
B. Giménez,A.M. López de Lacey,Efrén Pérez-Santín,María Elvira López-Caballero,Pilar Montero +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, active biodegradable films based on agar and agar-fish gelatin were developed by the incorporation of green tea aqueous extract to the film forming solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oyster preservation by high-pressure treatment.
TL;DR: High-pressure treatment reduced the number of all the target microorganisms (total viable count, H2S-producing microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria, Brochothrix thermosphacta, and coliforms), in some cases by around 5-log units.
