Polypropylene composite is a plastic material that is produced by combining polypropylene (PP) with other materials to enhance its properties. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer widely used in a variety of applications, including packaging, textile, automotive, medical devices and much more. Polypropylene is known to be durable, strong and affordable. However, in some applications, polypropylene…
DettagliVitamin C is an antioxidant that we ingest through our diet and one of the most widely used skin care treatments due to its properties to combat premature skin ageing. Fruits and vegetables are the main sources of this vitamin: kiwis are one of the fruits with the highest Vitamin C content, followed by strawberries…
DettagliThe growing global demand for healthier and more environmentally friendly products leads us to develop natural solutions of non-animal origin. This epilogue tells the success of L-Arginine (clean label) for the substitution of phosphates in meat products. L-Arginine Clean Label L-arginine is one of the 20 amino acids naturally found in the proteins that make…
DettagliCitrus bioflavonoids: bioactive molecules Citrus bioflavonoids are phytochemicals belonging to the polyphenol family. These phytochemicals are found in citrus fruits and are responsible for important functions: from protection against insects, bacteria and other microorganisms to stressful situations for the plant, such as temperature, drought or ultraviolet rays. Citrus bioflavonoids have shown numerous beneficial properties for…
DettagliAn even skin tone is usually associated with healthy skin. In contrast, skin subject to premature aging caused by UV light (photoaging) experiences an increase in the production of melanin, the pigment controlling skin colour. And this results in the appearance of skin spots. History and origins In ancient Egypt, as well as in…
DettagliWhat will the packaging of the future be like? Many of us imagine futuristic products, perhaps packages with technology, highly customisation according to the desired target, changing at the time of day and depending on the purchase, etc…but what is certain is that the package of the future will have to be sustainable. Current proposals…
DettagliWater is a vital element for our body to function properly. About 20% of the body’s total water is found in the skin (dermal and epidermal layer). It is necessary to keep the skin in its optimal state of hydration in order to maintain the skin’s elasticity and for it to establish a correct barrier…
DettagliLithopone was developed in the 1870s as a substitute for lead carbonate (lead white), to overcome its drawbacks of toxicity and poor weathering resistance. Within a few years, titanium dioxide displaced lithopone to become the white pigment (PW6) par excellence in the industry and the world’s best-selling inorganic pigment. However, titanium is a product whose…
DettagliGelatin is an animal protein which, in addition to being a nutrient by providing protein in the diet, has an important technological role in the formulation of foods such as dairy and non-dairy desserts, meat products, ready meals and confectionery. Gelatin Gelatin is a protein obtained by solubilising collagen from the connective tissue of various…
DettagliPolyamides, in general, are polymers highly resistant to impact, temperature, UV, ageing and chemical cracking stress. For this reason, their field of application is very wide. Polyamide applications The use of polyamides covers many industrial sectors: construction, healthcare, cables and jacketing, automotive and aeronautics. If we focus on the automotive industry, polyamides are decisive…
