Analysis of fit on implants of chrome cobalt versus titanium frameworks made by cad / cam milling

This study analyzed the degree of passive and vertical fit achieved in frameworks using either cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) or titanium (Ti) implant-supported fixed partial dentures ( FPDs) fabricated with a CAD/CAM milling technique. 33 3-unit FDPs, 17 of Co-Cr metal alloy (test group) and 16 of Ti (control group), were manufactured with two implants by copy milled technology. Optical microscopy was used to measure passive fit (PF) and vertical fit (VF) in all frameworks. The PF was evaluated by using the Single Screw test and the VF with the screws tightened at 20 Ncm. Descriptive and inferential analysis were performed to evaluate statistically significant differences in the tested groups for each fit. Brunner-Langer models were applied to assess potential material and implant area effects on the measurements. An ANOVA test was performed to estimate both main effects and interactions. The average PF values in the screwed implant were 4.43 ± 0.52 µm for Ti and 5.50 ± 1.61 µm for Co-Cr and in the non-screwed implant 5.59 ± 1.32 µm in the group Ti and 6.25 ± 1.55 µm the Co-Cr group. In this last implant, it was not observed statistically significant differences between both types of alloy (p = 0.178) nor between zones. Ti control group exhibited a significantly better VF than Co-Cr (p = 0.046) in the screwed implant but there were no differences in the implant not screwed. The VF in the non-screwed implant was better in lingual than in buccal zone. The PF and VF measurements observed in Co-Cr frameworks are clinically acceptable. 3-unit implant supported FPDs made with Co-Cr alloy using milling technique showed similar dimensional accuracy than those obtained with Ti

Polylactic acid based materials encapsulating carvacrol obtained by solvent casting and electrospinning

[EN] Polylactic acid (PLA) dissolved (15 wt.%) in ethyl acetate (EtAc): dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) binary systems (0:1; 1:3, and 2:3 v/v) was used as carrier to obtain carvacrol (CA)-loaded (20 wt.% with respect to PLA) matrices by electrospinning, in comparison with solvent casting. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) observations showed that CA-loaded electrospun fibers were thinner than the CA-free ones, and their encapsulating efficiency (EE) increased when EtAc was present in the solvent. The cast films had higher EE (up to 89%) than the electrospun mats (maximum 68%). Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry revealed that CA-free matrices retain more solvent than the samples with CA; this effect is being more noticeable in fibers rather than in cast films. The thermal analysis revealed stronger retention forces of CA in the fibers than in the cast material and the CA plasticizing effect in the PLA matrices, in accordance with its retained amount. Practical Application The carvacrol-loaded polylactic acid materials obtained in this study are intended to serve as possible active layer in obtaining active (antimicrobial and/or antioxidant) multilayer materials for the packaging of foodstuffs, when applied onto a supporting polymer layer. Active properties of the material, as well as the potential carvacrol sensory impact, in packaged products should be assessed in further studies.The authors thank the Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (MINECO) of Spain, for the financial support for this study as part of the project AGL2016-76699-R.

Biodegradability and disintegration of multilayer starch films with electrospun PCL fibres encapsulating carvacrol

[EN] The biodegradation and disintegration of thermoplastic starch multilayers containing carvacrol(CA)-loaded poly-(epsilon-caprolactone) electrospun mats were evaluated under thermophilic composting conditions for 45 and 84 days, respectively, and compared with non-loaded carvacrol films and pure starch films. Sample mass loss, thermogravimetric and visual analyses were performed throughout the disintegration test. The disintegration behaviour of all multilayers was similar, reaching values of 75-80% after 84 days. Biodegradation, assessed by carbon dioxide measurements, revealed that all the carvacrol-free films completely biodegraded after 25 composting days. However, the presence of CA notably affected the compost inoculum activity, thus limiting the biodegradability of the CA-loaded multilayers to a maximum value of around 85% after 45 days. Nevertheless, this value was close to that established by the standard ISO method to qualify as biodegradable material.The authors thank the Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (MINECO, Spain) for funding this study through the pre-doctoral grant BES-2014-068100 and through the investigation project AGL2016-76699-R.Tampau, A.; González Martínez, MC.; Chiralt Boix, MA.

Incorporation of natural antioxidants from rice straw into renewable starch films.

Abstract This study showed that rice straw waste is a valuable source for the extraction of water-soluble phenolic compounds that can be successfully incorporated into bioactive starch-based films. The major phenolic compounds in the extract were identified as ferulic, p-coumaric and protocatechuic acid using UHPLC-MS. Homogeneous films with antioxidant properties were produced by melt blending and compression molding and the changes in the physico-chemical properties were evaluated. The produced antioxidant starch films were slightly reddish-colored and exhibited good in-vitro antiradical scavenging activity against DPPH*. The addition of the antioxidant extract improved the oxygen barrier properties without negatively affecting the thermal and the water vapor barrier properties. However, antioxidant starch films turned more brittle with increasing amount of the antioxidant extract, which was probably due to interactions of phenolic compounds with the starch chains. The film forming process induced chain scission of starch molecules in all films, shown in a decrease in molecular weight of native starch from 9.1 × 106 Da to values as low as 1.0–3.5 × 106 Da. This study aids a circular economy by recycling rice straw for the production of bioactive food packaging

Use of tannins to enhance the functional properties of protein based films.

[EN] In this study, three tannins from different sources have been used (from white peel grape (W), red peel grape (R) and from oak bark (O)) to obtain active films based on proteins (caseinate and gelatin) on the basis of their natural origin and potential antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Films were obtained in two different ways: monolayer films, by homogeneously blending the tannins with the proteins and bilayer films, by coating the previously obtained protein film with the different tannin solutions. The microstructural, physicochemical characterisation as well as the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the films were analysed. The interactions developed between tannins and protein matrices determined the physico-chemical properties of the films. Significant changes were only observed in tannin-caseinate films, due to the establishment of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, especially when using the tannin with the greatest phenolic content (W). Thus, the W tannin caseinate based films turned thicker, with markedly improved (p 3.0.co;2-uSánchez-González, L., González-Martínez, C., Chiralt, A., & Cháfer, M. (2010).

Antifungal Polyvinyl Alcohol Coatings Incorporating Carvacrol for the Postharvest Preservation of Golden Delicious Apple

[EN] Different polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coating formulations incorporating starch (S) and carvacrol (C) as the active agent were applied to Golden Delicious apples to evaluate their effectiveness at controlling weight loss, respiration rate, fruit firmness, and fungal decay against B. cinerea and P. expansum throughout storage time. Moreover, the impact of these coatings on the sensory attributes of the fruit was also analyzed. The application of the coatings did not notably affect the weight loss, firmness changes, or respiration pathway of apples, probably due to the low solid surface density of the coatings. Nevertheless, they exhibited a highly efficient disease control against both black and green mold growths, as a function of the carvacrol content and distribution in the films. The sensory analysis revealed the great persistence of the carvacrol aroma and flavor in the coated samples, which negatively impact the acceptability of the coated products.This research was funded by the Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (Spain) through the projects RTA2015-00037-C02-00 and PID2019-105207RB-I00.Sapper, M.; Martín-Esparza, M.; Chiralt Boix, MA.; González Martínez, MC.

Biodegradable Antimicrobial Films for Food Packaging: Effect of Antimicrobials on Degradation

[EN] The environmental problem generated by the massive consumption of plastics makes necessary the developing of biodegradable antimicrobial materials that can extend food shelf-life without having a negative impact on the environment. The current situation regarding the availability of biodegradable food packaging materials has been analysed, as well as different studies where antimicrobial compounds have been incorporated into the polymer matrix to control the growth of pathogenic or spoilage bacteria. Thus, the antimicrobial activity of active films based on different biodegradable polymers and antimicrobial compounds has been discussed. Likewise, relevant information on biodegradation studies carried out with different biopolymers in different environments (compost, soil, aquatic), and the effect of some antimicrobials on this behavior, are reviewed. In most of the studies, no relevant effect of the incorporated antimicrobials on the degradation of the polymer were observed, but some antimicrobials can delay the process. The changes in biodegradation pattern due to the presence of the antimicrobial are attributed to its influence on the microorganism population responsible for the process. More studies are required to know the specific influence of the antimicrobial compounds on the biodegradation behavior of polymers in different environments. No studies have been carried out or marine media to this end.This research was funded by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion of Spain through the Project AGL2016-76699-R, PID2019-105207RB-I00, and the predoctoral research grant #BES-2017-082040.Hernandez-Garcia, E.; Vargas, M.; González Martínez, MC.; Chiralt Boix, MA.

Biodegradation of PLA-PHBV Blend Films as Affected by the Incorporation of Different Phenolic Acids

[EN] Films based on a 75:25 polylactic acid (PLA) and Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) blend, containing 2% (w/w) of different phenolic acids (ferulic, p-coumaric or protocatechuic acid), and plasticised with 15 wt. % polyethylene glycol (PEG 1000), were obtained by melt blending and compression moulding. The disintegration and biodegradation of the film under thermophilic composting conditions was studied throughout 35 and 45 days, respectively, in order to analyse the effect of the incorporation of the antimicrobial phenolic acids into the films. Sample mass loss, thermo-degradation behaviour and visual appearance were analysed at different times of the composting period. No effect of phenolic acids was observed on the film disintegration pattern, and the films were completely disintegrated at the end of the composting period. The biodegradation analysis through the CO2 measurements revealed that PLA-PHBV blend films without phenolic acids, and with ferulic acid, completely biodegraded after 20 composting days, while p-coumaric and protocatechuic slightly retarded full biodegradation (21 and 26 days, respectively). Phenolic acids mainly extended the induction period, especially protocatechuic acid. PLA-PHBV blend films with potential antimicrobial activity could be used to preserve fresh foodstuff susceptible to microbial spoilage, with their biodegradation under composting conditions being ensured.FundingThis research was funded by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion of Spain through the Project AGL2016-76699-R, PID2019-105207RB-I00, and the predoctoral research grant #BES-2017-082040.Hernandez-Garcia, E.; Vargas, M.; Chiralt Boix, MA.; González Martínez, MC.

Application of Ultrasound Pre-Treatment for Enhancing Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Rice Straw

[EN] The extraction of water-soluble bioactive compounds using different green methods is an eco-friendly alternative for valorizing agricultural wastes such as rice straw (RS). In this study, aqueous extracts of RS (particles < 500 mu m) were obtained using ultrasound (US), reflux heating (HT), stirring (ST) and a combination of US and ST (USST) or HT (USHT). The extraction kinetics was well fitted to a pseudo-second order model. As regards phenolic compound yield, the US method (342 mg gallic acid (GAE). 100 g(-1) RS) was more effective than the ST treatment (256 mg GAE center dot 100 g(-1) RS), reaching an asymptotic value after 30 min of process. When combined with HT (USHT), the US pre-treatment led to the highest extraction of phenolic compounds from RS (486 mg GAE center dot 100 g(-1) RS) while the extract exhibited the greatest antioxidant activity. Furthermore, the USHT extract reduced the initial counts of Listeria innocua by 1.7 logarithmic cycles. Therefore, the thermal aqueous extraction of RS applying the 30 min US pre-treatment, represents a green and efficient approach to obtain bioactive extracts for food applications.Author P.A.V.F. is grateful to Generalitat Valenciana for the GrisoliaP/2019/115 grant.Vieira-De Freitas, PA.; González Martínez, MC.; Chiralt Boix, MA.
