Development of wheat gluten/nanocellulose/titanium dioxide nanocomposites for active food packaging

El-Wakil, Nahla A., Hassan, Enas A., Abou-Zeid, Ragab E., Dufresne, Alain·2015·Carbohydrate Polymers

Abstract

Bionanocomposites were developed by casting/evaporation of wheat gluten (WG), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and TiO2 nanoparticles. The effect of addition of different percentages of CNC, and TiO2 on tensile strength (TS), Young's modulus and water sensitivity was studied. A significant improvement in the studied properties is observed when 7.5% CNC and 0.6% TiO2 is added to WG. WG/CNC 7.5%/0.6% TiO2 blend suspension was chosen to coat commercial packaging unbleached kraft paper sheets via 1, 2 and 3 coating layers. A significant enhancement of 56% and 53% in breaking length and burst index, respectively, was achieved for 3 layers coated paper. The antimicrobial activity of the coated papers, against Saccharomyces cervisiae, Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, was investigated and expressed in terms of reduction % of surviving number (CFU) of the tested organisms. More than 98.5% reduction in CFU was observed against the organisms compared to TiO2-free coated paper.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • New packaging biomaterials are continuously emerging, such as wheat gluten for food packaging, edible chitosan and cellulose-based packaging material, and corn and rice starch-based biopolymer as an alternative to HDPE plastic bags.

    “It is noted that new packaging biomaterials are continuously emerging (Youssef and El-Sayed, 2018), such as use of wheat gluten for food packaging (El-Wakil et al., 2015;Shankar et al., 2019), edible chitosan and cellulose-based packaging material (Pinem et al., 2020), corn and rice starch-based biopolymer as an alternative to HDPE plastic bags (Marichelvam et al., 2019).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
