DOI: 10.1002/tox.22883
Abstract: Tri‐ortho‐cresyl phosphate (TOCP), a widely used plasticizer in industry, can cause female reproductive damage. Tea polyphenols (TPs) have multiple health effects via inhibiting oxidative stress. However, the reproductive protection of TPs in TOCP‐induced female reproductive… read more here.

Controlled moisture permeability of thermoplastic starch/polylactic acid/poly butylene adipate-co-terephthalate film for the autolysis of straw mushroom Volvariella volvacea.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Food chemistry"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.131409
Abstract: Straw mushrooms are prone to autolyze, leading to a high requirement of environmental humidity. In this work, thermoplastic starch/polylactic acid/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (TPS/PLA/PBAT) film was produced by extrusion. The moisture permeability of the film was… read more here.
