Há uma visível mudança no mercado brasileiro de cerveja, como o aumento pela demanda de cervejas diferenciadas que se distinguem pelos diferentes ingredientes, métodos de elaboração e características sensoriais. Deste modo nota-se a... more
Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) of biopolymers have been used for many applications, including emulsion stabilization and improvements in the properties of biopolymers, such as interfacial tension. The enhance of interfacial activity of... more
Consumers have sought to adopt a healthier lifestyle by avoiding the use of foods with artificial preservatives. To meet this demand, a solution would be the use of natural preservatives. There are foods that already have natural... more
Lactoferrin (L) and gellan gum (G) nanoparticles were produced in different biopolymer proportions through electrostatic complexation to enhance the antimicrobial properties of lactoferrin. The nanoparticles were characterized according... more
The aim of the present study was to produce lactoferrin (L) and chitosan (C) nanoparticles by ionic cross-linking with TPP and thereby increase the antimicrobial activity of biopolymers. The nanoparticles were synthesized in different... more
Application of hydrophobic coatings, such as carnauba wax nanoemulsions, combined with natural antimicrobials, has been demonstrated to be an effective solution in extending the shelf life of fruits. The present study evaluated the... more
Chitosan (CS) nanoparticles were formed by two different methodologies: ionic (with sodium tripolyphosphate-TPP) and chemical (with genipin-GN) cross-linking. CS-TPP and CS-GN nanoparticles showed positive zeta potential (+46.24 and... more
As cervejas distinguem-se pelos diferentes ingredientes, métodos de elaboração e características sensoriais. As cervejas artesanais ou especiais, em geral, são cervejas que utilizam receitas ou processos de fabricação diferentes das... more
