Composite films based on chitosan and lignin biopolymers were investigated for their
mechanical, barrier, surface, and antioxidant properties and linked to an extensive microscopic …

This work investigated the impact of two homogenization treatments, High Shear (HS) and
High Pressure (HP), on the structure and antioxidant activity of chitosan-lignin bio-composite …

The valorization of lignin to produce functionalized materials is challenging. A grafting reaction
based on the reactivity between chitosan amino groups and lignin hydroxyl groups was …

Background Gas transfer, and especially oxygen, through wine closures has been studied
since the 90's. It started with the problem of premature oxidation in wine. To that purpose, …

The mechanics of agglomerated cork is a key issue for application to sparkling wine
stoppers. Industrial samples were produced by varying the chemical nature of polyurethane …

In 1665, Robert Hooke was the first to observe cork cells and their characteristic hexagonal
shape, using the first optical microscope, which was invented by him at that time. With the …

The sporadic oxidation of white wines remains an open question, making wine shelf life a
subjective debate. Through a multidisciplinary synoptic approach performed as a remarkable …

The present work proposes the use of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) to characterize aqueous
solutions containing linoleic acid (LA). The parameters affecting CMC, particle size and …

This work is, to our knowledge, the first to have investigated the role of gas–liquid oxygen
transfer on the determination of the kinetic parameters of an oxidase, and on oxidase reactor …

The diffusion of CO 2 through macro- and micro-agglomerated cork stoppers for sparkling
wine was studied by a manometric technique. The effective diffusion coefficients for each part …
