Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as potential lubricants in 2001. Subsequently, there has
been tremendous research interest in ILs from the tribology society since their discovery as …

Recently, the utilization of starch to replace synthetic polymers for the manufacture of green
materials has gained extensive interest, due to its renewability, biodegradability, abundance …

Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is obtained by high-shear treatment of cellulose. MFC is
suitable for use as clean-label, low-calorie thickener in semi-solid foods such as …

Increasing the protein content of yogurts would be a good strategy for enhancing their
satiating ability. However, the addition of protein can affect product palatability, contributing …

This research aimed to investigate the effect of starch gelatinization and swelling degree on
the lubrication properties of starch aqueous suspensions. Three types of maize starch with …

The tribological properties of suspensions of cooked swollen starch granules are
characterised for systems based on maize starch and potato starch. These systems are …

This work studied the phase transition and gel properties of cassava starch in aqueous
choline acetate ([Ch][OAc]) solution at different [Ch][OAc]: water weight ratios. The paste …

This work is focused on the correlation between several physical properties (kinematic
viscosity, viscosity index, refractive index, density and water solubility) and biodegradability …

Starch is one of the most abundant, renewable, non-toxic, and biodegradable
polysaccharides, mainly comprising amylose and amylopectin. The physicochemical …

In order to elucidate the lubrication characteristics of starch-soybean lecithin compound gel
system, this study investigated the influence of two different methods of gelatinization …
