Chitosanfolie met polyfenolen van uitgedunde jonge appelen

Researchers at Shaanxi Normal University in China characterized the properties of chitosan film incorporated with thinned young apple polyphenols (YAP).
The results indicated that the addition of YAP resulted in a significant increase in the thickness, density, swelling degree, solubility and opacity, but the water content, water vapor permeability and mechanical properties of the film were decreased. Besides, the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of chitosan film were significantly enhanced by YAP. Overall, YAP-chitosan film showed potential as a bioactive packaging material to extend food shelf-life. An article about the research is published in Carbohydrate Polymers.
