Yerba mate extract in microfibrillated cellulose and corn starch films as a potential wound healing bandage
(MDPI, 2020-11-27)
Microfibrillated cellulose films have been gathering considerable attention due to their high
mechanical properties and cheap cost. Additionally, it is possible to include compounds within the
fibrillated structure in ...
Enzymatic activities and analysis of a mycelium-based composite formation using peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) residues on Lentinula edodes.
(Research Square, 2020-08-03)
By seeding fungus on top of industry residues, a mycelium can grow and form a compacted network
structure, producing a material whose properties can be quite similar to polystyrene. However, depending
on the source used, ...
Effect of cullulose size-concentration on the structure of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels.
(Elsevier, 2020-06-11)
Microfibrillated cellulose as a reinforcement agent has been investigated extensively due to their unique characteristics, which can reorder the structure of polymers and hydrogels leading to improved mechanical properties ...
Smart hydrogels: therapeutic advancements in hydrogel technology for smart drug delivery applications.
(Wiley, 2015-12)
Hydrogels are a fusion of solid and liquid phases which closely mimic biological tissue. As such they have enormous potential for drug delivery systems as they are biocompatible and may be tailored to specific applications. ...
The evaluation of the potential ecotoxicity of pyroligenous acid obtained from fast pyrolsis.
(Elsevier, 2019-09-30)
Pyroligneous acid (PA) is a by-product of bio-oil, which is obtained by pyrolysis of the wood. This product has been tested for use in several areas, such as agriculture, as a promising green herbicide; however, there are ...
Prediction of yerba mate caffeine content using near infrared spectroscopy.
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-10)
There is a commercial and beneficial interest of producing yerba mate leaves into different grades of caffeine. This work uses a handheld and bench near infrared spectroscopy to compare and predict, using partial least ...
Characterisation and in vivo evaluation of Araucaria angustifolia pinhão seed coat nanosuspension as a functional food source
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-10-08)
Araucaria angustifolia seeds are culturally important from South America; however, the
seed coat is generally discarded and have yet to find a beneficial commercial impact. We
propose a new formulation to the usage of ...
Microfibrillated cellulose films containing chitosan and tannic acid for wound healing applications
(Springer, 2021-06-12)
The effectiveness of tannic acid as antimicrobial and wound healing for burns have been shown for a century; however, uncontrolled target dosage may result in undesirable side-effects. Remarkably, tannic acid polyphenols ...
Characterization of gels and films produced from Pinhão seed coat nanocellulose as a potential use for wound healing dressings and screening of Its compounds towards antitumour effects
(MDPI, 2022-07-07)
The reuse of agro-industrial waste assumes great importance today. Pinhão is the seed of
Araucaria angustifolia, which is native to the mountains of southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina.
The coat is a by-product of ...
The production of a novel poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel cryogenic spheres for immediate release using a droplet system.
(IOP Science, 2019-06-05)
Although freeze-thaw mechanism for producing crosslinked hydrogels is relatively easy and simple, it
lacks sufficient integrity and support leading to modifications on its three-dimensional polymeric
network arrangement ...
