Folies van soja-eiwitten met cellulose nanokristallen
Soy protein-based films have some interesting properties of being biodegradable, biocompatible, and inexpensive. However, their weak mechanical property and high sensitivity to moisture are major hindrances to using this protein-based film for food packaging applications.
Researchers at the University of Missouri US aimed to develop soy protein-based films incorporated with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and Cedrus deodara pine needle extract (PNE). They found that CNCs and PNE can significantly enhance the mechanical property, antioxidant ability, and water vapor barrier capacity of soy protein-based films. An article about the research is published in Industrial Crops and Products.
