Filme biodegradável à base de fécula de mandioca como potencial indicador de mudança de pH. / Biodegradable film based on cassava starch as patential indicator of pH change.

Zetty Arenas, Ana Maria 26 June 2012 (has links)
A cada dia é mais crescente a necessidade e interesse no desenvolvimento de embalagens competitivas e com maior valor agregado. Visando atender a necessidade de consumidores cada vez mais exigentes e preocupados com o meio ambiente, este trabalho propôs o uso do pigmento natural antocianina no desenvolvimento de filmes biodegradáveis para potencial uso como embalagem inteligente, indicadora de mudança de pH. Os filmes foram elaborados pela técnica de casting tendo como formulação base fécula de mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz), argila esmectita sódica, glicerol, etanol e água, e incorporados com duas concentrações de antocianina (0,05 e 0,10) g/100 g de solução filmogênica, e em uma segunda fase, ácido cítrico foi incorporado à matriz polimérica a fim de estudar a influência do pH da solução filmogênica (2,8 e 4,3) sobre o desempenho do filme empregado como embalagem. Os filmes foram avaliados quanto as suas propriedades mecânicas (resistência máxima à tração e porcentagem de elongação na ruptura), físico-químicas (atividade de água, umidade, espessura), de barreira (permeabilidade ao vapor dágua e ao oxigênio) e análise de mudança de cor. Em seguida à caracterização, a atividade indicadora de pH foi testada com peixe cru embalado em recipientes de vidro tampados com o filme. Os recipientes foram acondicionados em temperatura ambiente e sob três temperaturas distintas de refrigeração, sendo que recipientes vazios também fechados com o filme foram usados como controle. A avaliação da atividade indicadora de pH foi realizada por meio da análise de mudança de cor do filme correlacionada com o pH do peixe. Os resultados obtidos foram promissores, uma vez que os filmes avaliados se mostraram bons indicadores de pH, ao mudarem de cor à olho nu em resposta à variação do pH, sendo essa mudança mais acentuada em filmes com maior conteúdo de antocianina. / The interest and need for the development of more competitive, higher value-added packages grow faster each day. For attending the needs of a more demanding, environmentally-concerned group of consumers, the present work proposes the use of natural anthocyanin pigment for the development of biodegradable films to be used as intelligent packaging material capable of indicating pH change. These films, made by employing a technique known as casting, consist of a basic formulation of cassava starch (Manihot esculenta Crantz), sodium smectite clay, glycerol, ethanol, and water, combined with two concentrations of anthocyanin (0.05 and 0.10) g/100 g of a filmogenic solution. In a second phase, citric acid was added to the polymer matrix in order to study the influence of the filmogenic solution pH (2.8 and 4.3) on the packaging performance of the films. These materials were assessed according to their mechanical properties (tensile strength at break and elongation at break percentage), physical and chemical properties (water activity, moisture content and thickness), barrier properties (water vapor and oxygen permeability), and color change. After this characterization, the pH-indicating activity was tested with raw fish stored in glass containers sealed with the film. Such containers were firstly exposed to room temperature and subsequently to three different refrigeration temperatures. Similarly, some empty containers also sealed with the same film were used as control. The assessment of the pH-indicating activity was undertaken by analyzing the color change of the film correlated with the pH of the fish. Promising outcomes seemed to have been achieved, since the films that were assessed proved to be efficient pH indicators. The color change was visible to the naked eye in response to pH variation, and such a change was particularly strong in the films with higher anthocyanin content.

Skin Health Monitoring Sensor on Textiles : Incorporation of pH Responsive Dyes on Polyethylene and Polypropylene Nonwovens

Biswas, Tuser January 2016 (has links)
Incontinence diapers or disposable absorbent pads provide essential help to people having such a physical difficulty. However, during prolonged used of these products in daily life, the skin inside pad area may get fragile and damaged which are difficult to recover in old ages. Therefore a skin friendly sensor can be added to the inner layer of pad that would monitor the skin condition and signal any abnormalities to the wearer. Smart materials which can change color upon variation of skin pH were incorporated with synthetic nonwoven layers of the pad. Among various incorporation methods of these materials, ‘sol-gel’ coating technique was found to be successfulfor applications on optical sensor and on fewother fabric types. Thus ‘sol-gel’ method with modified recipe for different dye and chemical combinations were experimented in this project.Several developed samples showed color change (e.g. yellow to red) that can be easily detected by wearers’ eyes.Additionally, the methods and materials involved showed no adverse effect on health and environment. Thus this study succeeds to provide with a mean for skin health monitor based on nonwoven textiles by incorporation of color changing materials.
