Journal ArticleDOI
Active chitosan/PVA films with anthocyanins from Brassica oleraceae (Red Cabbage) as Time–Temperature Indicators for application in intelligent food packaging
TL;DR: In this paper, a Time-Temperature Indicator (TTI) based on a PVA/Chitosan polymeric doped with anthocyanins was used to detect changes in the pH of packaged food products when subjected to improper storage temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan/corn starch blend films with extract from Brassica oleraceae (red cabbage) as a visual indicator of fish deterioration
Mayra Cristina Silva-Pereira,José Augusto Teixeira,Valdir Aniceto Pereira-Júnior,Valdir Aniceto Pereira-Júnior,Ricardo Stefani +4 more
TL;DR: A system for pH monitoring based on Chitosan, Corn Starch and red cabbage extract, all inexpensively obtained from renewable sources, which has good optical and morphological properties and is very sensitive to pH variations is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal activity of plant-derived essential oils on Candida tropicalis planktonic and biofilms cells
Caio Marcelo Cury Souza,Silvio Alves Pereira Junior,Thaís da Silva Moraes,Jaqueline Lopes Damasceno,Suzana Amorim Mendes,Herbert J. Dias,Ricardo Stefani,Denise Crispim Tavares,Carlos Henrique Gomes Martins,Antônio Eduardo Miller Crotti,Maria José Soares Mendes-Giannini,Regina Helena Pires +11 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that C. tropicalis is susceptible to treatment with PG-EO, geraniol, and linalool, which could become options to prevent or treat this infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Organizing Maps of Molecular Descriptors for Sesquiterpene Lactones and Their Application to the Chemotaxonomy of the Asteraceae Family
Marcus Tullius Scotti,Vicente de Paulo Emerenciano,Marcelo J. P. Ferreira,Luciana Scotti,Ricardo Stefani,Marcelo Sobral da Silva,Francisco Jaime Bezerra Mendonça Junior +6 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the atom-centred and RDF descriptors can be used as a tool for taxonomic classification in low hierarchical levels, such as tribes, and can predict the most probable tribe where a biologically active molecule can be found according Bremer classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and Evaluation of a Smart Packaging for the Monitoring of Ricotta Cheese Spoilage
TL;DR: In this paper, a colorimetric smart packaging pH indicator was developed based on chitosan, gelatin, PVA and red cabbage extract for food quality monitoring, which was characterized by Thickness and swelling index.
