FUNCTIONAL FILM BASED ON CARBOXIMETHIL XILANAS WITH INCORPORATION OF ESSENTIAL LICORICE OIL AND ITS ANTIOXIDANT, ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIBIOFILM PROPERTIES

摘要

THIS INVENTION IS RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A FUNCTIONAL FILM BASED ON CARBOXIMETHIL XILANAS WITH INCORPORATION OF ESSENTIAL LICORICE OIL AND THE DEMONSTRATION OF ITS ANTIOXIDANT, ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTI-BACTERIA PROPERTIES. THIS FILM WAS OBTAINED BY THE SOLVENT EVAPORATION METHOD AND WAS CHARACTERIZED BY INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY BY FOURIER TRANSFORMED (FTIR). THEIR ETHICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES WERE ALSO DETERMINED, AS WELL AS GRAMAGE, THICKNESS AND ANGLE OF CONTACT WITH WATER. THEIR ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES AGAINST FREE RADICALS AND LIPID PEROXIDATION INHIBITION AND THEIR ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTI-BIOFILM PROPERTIES AGAINST SOME FOOD PATHOGENESIS, IN PARTICULAR, MONOCHOCHALYGENICOCHYGENISOCHYGENISOCOCHALISOCHYGENISOCOCHALISOCOCHALIS. IN THIS FORM THE PRESENT INVENTION IS USEFUL FOR APPLICATION IN ACTIVE PACKAGES IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY AND MAY BE USED TO INCREASE THE FOOD SHELF TIME, ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO REDUCING THE CONSUMPTION OF OIL DERIVED PLASTICS.
