The cutin/pectin films developed here were shown to mimic tomato peel itself with respect to mechanical strength and thermal stability and was found to be virtually independent of pH and casting method.

TL;DR: This review aims to present the latest research results regarding pectin, including the structure, different types, natural sources and potential use in several sectors, particularly in food packaging materials.
TL;DR: This article presents the surfactants, dispersants, and oil-soluble functional compounds used for designing food-grade nanoemulsions intended for packaging applications, and considers current characterization techniques as well as their potential antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens.
TL;DR: A review of the main theoretical principles, applications, and relevance of the zeta potential in food science and technology can be found in this paper, where a wide amplitude in the number of relevant publications in the literature involving ZP for different products is reflected in the length of the different sections of this document.
TL;DR: In this paper, copaiba oil (CP) nanoemulsions were added to film-forming formulations based on pectin and then dried into films by continuous casting, showing good interaction and compatibility.
TL;DR: In this article, Lemongrass essential oil (LEO) was directly emulsified as dispersed phase into aqueous solutions of pectin, which was used together with Tween 80 as polymeric emulsifiers.
TL;DR: The analysis of plant lines with modified cutins and suberins has begun to reveal the inter-relationships between the composition and function of these polymers.
TL;DR: The biosynthesis of the hydroxy, epoxy, and dicarboxylic acids of the polyesters from the common cellular fatty acids is elucidated and the function and possible practical implications of these polyester barriers are briefly discussed.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined chitosan-based films containing cinnamon essential oil (CEO) at level of 0.4,.0.8, and 1.5% and found that the added ingredients increased antimicrobial activity.
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of sodium alginate films were modified using two different methods of CaCl2 treatment, i.e., the direct addition of caCl2 into film making solution (mixing films) and the immersion of alginates into CaCl 2 solutions (immersion films), and their treatment effects on tensile strength, percentage elongation at break (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS) of the films were investigated.
TL;DR: Pectin is one of the main components of the plant cell wall chemically constituted by poly α 1−4-galacturonic acids as mentioned in this paper and is used as gelling, stabilizing, or thickening agent in food products such as jams, yoghurt drinks, fruity milk drinks, and ice cream.
