Alginates have been widely applied and explored in many fields due to their significant
advantages. Due to the presence of free hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, alginates can be …

Alginates are linear anionic polysaccharides, which are well-known for their biocompatible,
nontoxic, and biodegradable nature. The polymer consists of alternating units of β-(1→ 4) …

Ionically, cross-linked alginate gels have a potential to be used in a wide range of
biomedical, environmental and catalytic applications. The study deals with preparation of …

This study addresses the limitations of konjac glucomannan (KGM) films in mechanical
properties, hydrophobicity and antibacterial activities. For the first time, a zein-pectin …

Traditional ecological floating beds (EFBs) employing quartz sand, gravel, or ceramsite as
substrate materials face limitations in efficiently accumulating and rendering phosphorus …

In this paper, pectin-based plastic films were developed by grafting vanillin to pectin chains
and introducing Fe 3+ ions. The mechanical properties, thermal stability, moisture …

Due to the challenges posed by petroleum-based plastics in terms of degradation and their
contribution to environmental pollution, researchers have focused on natural biodegradable …

It was focused on development a film with excellent properties. The pectin/sodium alginate
(PS) composite films were developed by a casting technology, incorporating with tannic acid …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a promising alternative to non-biodegradable flexible packaging
materials, and nanocellulose is often used to enhance the properties of PVA films, but the …

In this work, inspired by the biological structure of shellfish, a bio-based bilayer smart
packaging film was developed for real-time visual monitoring of meat freshness. Specifically …
