| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to analyse the antioxidant activity of different polymeric matrices based on chitosan and starch, incorporating a thyme extract (TE) rich in polyphenols. TE provided the films with remarkable antioxidant activity. When mixed with chitosan, the polyphenols interacted with the polymer chains, acting as crosslinkers and enhancing the tensile behaviour of films. The opposite effect was observed when incorporated into the starch matrix. All the films became darker, more reddish and less transparent when TE was incorporated. These colour changes were more marked in starch matrices, which suggests that TE compounds were poorly encapsulated. The use of chitosan-based matrices carrying TE polyphenols is recommended as a means of obtaining antioxidant films, on the basis of their tensile response and greater antioxidant activity, which could be associated with the development of polyphenol-chitosan interactions, contributing to a better protection of the functionality of polyphenols during film formation and conditioning. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 March 2017.
All research outputs
#22,758,309
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Carbohydrate Polymers
#4,341
of 5,157 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#279,514
of 319,615 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Carbohydrate Polymers
#56
of 71 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,157 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 319,615 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 71 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
