Overview

Development of biodegradable films shows enhanced antioxidant capacity and controlled release in gastrointestinal conditions.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop and evaluate biodegradable films using banana starch and quercetin-loaded nanoemulsions.
  • Films were made by casting banana starch reinforced with nanocellulose and quercetin nanoemulsions.
  • Evaluation included testing mechanical, barrier, antioxidant, and gastrointestinal release properties.
  • DPPH assays were performed to assess antioxidant activity.
  • In vitro digestion studies were conducted to measure quercetin release.
  • Tensile strength decreased significantly, indicating a plasticizing effect from quercetin incorporation.
  • Water vapor permeability and solubility dropped, enhancing moisture resistance.
  • Optical properties were altered, leading to reduced luminosity and increased yellow color from quercetin.
  • Antioxidant activity reached up to 75.2% in the highest quercetin formulation.
  • Quercetin release was limited in gastric conditions but significantly increased in intestinal fluid.
