Comparative environmental Life Cycle Assessment of integral revalorization of vine shoots from a biorefinery perspective
(Elsevier, 2017-12-15)The use of vine shoots as feedstock in biorefining activities to obtain bioproducts under efficient and optimized conditions could be crucial to make future high added value compounds and processes more sustainable. In ... -
Effect of the addition of different sodium alginates on viscoelastic, structural features and hydrolysis kinetics of corn starch gels
(Elsevier, 2022)Corn starch gels (1:4 w:w) were made with the addition (up to 2% w/w starch basis) of sodium alginates of different average molecular sizes and nature. Rheology of the starchy gels were characterized to evaluate their ... -
Jet Cutting Technique for the Production of Chitosan Aerogel Microparticles Loaded with Vancomycin
(MDPI, 2020)Biopolymer-based aerogels can be obtained by supercritical drying of wet gels and endowed with outstanding properties for biomedical applications. Namely, polysaccharide-based aerogels in the form of microparticles are of ... -
Magnetic nanomaterials based on sustainable biopolymers for circular bioeconomy
(2022)The present thesis is focused on the development of biocompatible nanostructured materials with magnetic properties, combining biopolymers of algae orgin (e.g., alginate), plant origin (e.g., pectin,cellulose, pectin) ... -
Measurement of the water vapor permeability of chitosan films: a laboratory experiment on food packaging materials
(ACS Publications, 2022)In recent years, the food industry has been undergoing major changes driven by new social and environmental demands. Nowadays, biodegradable packaging is perceived as the most feasible alternative for food packaging. Great ... -
SiRNA silencing by chemically modified biopolymeric nanovectors
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The ability to specifically silence genes by RNA interference has an enormous potential for treating genetic diseases. However, different drawbacks such as short interfering RNA (siRNA) degradability by serum nucleases and ...
