Physical stability of co-freeze-dried powders made from NaCl and maltodextrins – Impact of NaCl on…
NaCl is commonly added into food powders as a humectant or taste enhancer with little consideration of its impact on the physical properties and stability of powders. In this study, maltodextrins of dextrose equivalence (DE) 5, 20 and 45 and 10%w/w NaCl were first dissolved in water and then…

Integrating pressure sensor control into semi-solid extrusion 3D printing to optimize medicine…
Semi-solid extrusion (SSE) is a three-dimensional printing (3DP) process that involves the extrusion of a gel or paste-like material via a syringe-based printhead to create the desired object. In pharmaceuticals, SSE 3DP has already been used to manufacture formulations for human clinical studies.…

Influence of de-structured starch on fine-stranded polymeric and coarse-stranded particulate whey…
This study investigated the phase stability of liquid mixtures and composite gels properties of de-structured waxy potato starch (DWPS) and whey protein isolate (WPI). The DWPS are physically-modified starches treated at 120, 140 and 150 °C for 30 min under constant shear. The composite gels (13%…

Maillard reaction between pea protein isolate and maltodextrin via wet-heating route for emulsion…
Pea protein isolate (PPI)-maltodextrin (MD) conjugates were prepared by using controlled Maillard reaction at 90 °C in the solution state (wet-heating route). The degree of conjugation between PPI and MD was measured in terms of evolved colour, UV absorbance, and molecular weight change. Results…

Orodispersible Film (ODF) Platform Based on Maltodextrin for Therapeutical Applications
Orodispersible film (ODF) is a new dosage form that disperses rapidly in the mouth without water or swallowing. The main ingredient of an ODF is a polymer that can be both of natural or synthetic origin. Maltodextrin is a natural polymer, mainly used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields. This…

Smart nano-in-microparticles to tackle bacterial infections in skin tissue engineering
Chronic wounds (resulting from underlying disease, metabolic disorders, infections, trauma, and even tumours) pose significant health problems. In this work, microparticles, based on polysaccharides (maltodextrin or dextran) and amino acids, and doped with antibacterial nanoparticles (CuO or ZnO…

Prototypes of Nutraceutical Products From Microparticles Loaded With Stilbenes Extracted From Grape…
Grape canes (Vitis vinifera L.) are an important source of bioactive stilbenes, but they are considered a pruning residue. Despite the potential advantages for human health, the low aqueous solubility and stability limits their usage in commercial goods.
This research aimed to improve knowledge…
