Resumo
O desenvolvimento de novos materiais é uma área de pesquisas que ganha cada vez mais importância nos meios acadêmicos e industriais. Essa área de pesquisa é vital para a adequação dos materiais existentes às necessidades de aplicação, pois estas estão em constante mudança. O desenvolvimento de biofilmes exige a disponibilidade de um composto - normalmente um hidrocolóide - que possua a propriedade de formar uma matriz filmogênica. O colágeno de origem bovina possui tal propriedade e, por ser abundante no Brasil, é uma matéria-prima interessante para a produção de biofilmes. Por outro lado, para melhorar as características mecânicas e de barreira à umidade dos filmes finais, além do hidrocolóide principal, em geral são adicionadas outras substâncias à matriz filmogênica. O objetivo desse trabalho foi caracterizar física e quimicamente as fibras e pó de colágeno, obtidos a partir de pele bovina, como matérias-primas potencialmente formadoras de filme, bem como avaliar a influência das proporções de fibra e pó de colágeno usadas nas propriedades dos filmes. Nesse sentido, para as matérias-primas, foram realizadas as seguintes análises: composição centesimal, solubilidade em água, isotermas de sorção de água, aminograma, granulometria, calorimetria diferencial de varredura, espectroscopia de infravermelho e reologia da solução filmogênica. A fibra e o pó de colágeno apresentam, praticamente, o mesmo teor de proteína em sua composição e a diferença entre eles, além do formato, aparece na solubilidade em água, que se supõe ser, em parte, devida à diferença de tamanho entre as partículas. Na caracterização dos filmes, realizaram-se testes de tração, solubilidade e permeabilidade ao vapor de água, determinação de cor e opacidade e microscopia.
The development of new materials is a research area that has received increasing importance in the academic and industrial. This research area is vital for adaptation of existent materials to application needs, since they are in constant change. The biofilms development demands the availability of a material - usually a hydrocolloid - that possesses the property of forming a filmogenic matrix. The collagen of bovine origin possesses such property and, for being abundant in Brazil, it is an interesting raw material for edible and biodegradable films production. On the other hand, in order to improve the mechanical and water vapor barrier characteristics of the final films, in addition to the main hydrocolloid, other substances are generally added to the film forming solution. The objective of this work was to determine the physical and chemical characteristic of collagen fibers and powder, obtained from bovine skin, as potentially film forming raw materials. The following analyses were accomplished: centesimal composition, solubility in water, water sorption isotherms, aminogram, size distribution, differential scanning calorimetric, FTIR and rheology of the filmogenic solution. The collagen fiber and powder present practically the same protein content and in addition to particles shape the main difference between them, appears in the solubility in water that is supposed to be, partly, due to the size difference between fiber and powder particles. The characterization was accomplished by traction tests and the measurement of solubility and water vapor permeability, color and opacity as well as by microscopy. The objective was evaluating the influence of collagen fiber and powder proportions on the films. In this case, fibers could act as reinforcement composite to the film forming matrix, with the peculiarity of being a system where the polymer and the composite ...(Complete abstract click eletronic access below)
