Effective coefficient of diffusion of waterMoisture and sodium chloride profilesAir drying kinetics of chestnuts (Castanea sativa Mill.) submitted previously to osmotic dehydration with sodium chloride solutions (22%, w/w, 25掳C, 8h) were experimentally determined. Drying experiments were carried out ...
Sodium chloride intranasal is a saline solution of common salt and water, used to moisten dry and inflamed mucous membranes of the nose, and to thin and loosen up dried/hardenedmucus. It is also used as a pretreatment for the administration of nasal steroids. Sodium chloride intranasal can be...
Chestnuts belong to the Fagaceae family and are widely cultivated in Asia and Europe (Zhang, Liu, Hu, Guo, & Wei, 2018). They are increasingly gaining attention due to their unique flavor, nutritional composition, and the potential as functional food (De Vasconcelos, Bennett, Rosa, & Ferreira...
To address the challenge of preserving fresh chestnuts, chitosan (CS), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), nisin (N), and sodium alginate (SA) were utilized in the preparation of a bilayer edible film named CS-HPMC-N/SA, which was compared to the monolayer films CS-HPMC and CS-HPMC-N....
