TY - T1 - Polysaccharide-based aerogels as water absorbent and oxygen scavenger in meat packaging SN - / UR - URN:NBN:fi:hulib-201510193746; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/157467 T3 - A1 - Gracanac, Bojana A2 - PB - Helsingin yliopisto Y1 - 2015 LA - eng AB - Polysaccharide-based aerogels are a novel concept with potential application in the food sector due to their material properties, renewability and sustainability. High absorption capacity of polysaccharide aerogels makes them a potential moisture absorbent material in meat packaging. The aim of this work was to study the tamarind seed galactoxyloglucan (XG) aerogels as potential meat packaging material by testing their absorption capacity and mechanical properties. Another objective of this s...
