Non-Conventional Activation Methods in Carbohydrate Chemistry

Carbohydrate chemistry remains a cornerstone of contemporary organic and medicinal chemistry owing to the structural complexity and biological significance of saccharides. However, traditional synthetic techniques are frequently limited by poor regio- and stereoselectivity, long reaction times, harsh reaction condi...

Active edible zein-based films loaded with tea tree essential oil: Physicomechanical, structural, barrier, antimicrobial attributes and food packaging potential

In the context of sustainable development, biodegradable edible films have emerged as potential alternatives to conventional petroleum-based packaging materials. From this perspective, zein which is a class of prolamin protein found exclusively in corn, is generally recognized as safe and displays considerable potent...
