This work was aimed to develop water resistant biocide film from renewable resources for applications in food and water technology. Guar gum, a polymeric galactomannan, was intrinsically modified to a new guar gum benzamide. Benzoylation was carried out by benzoyl chloride reaction in water medium and a propyl amine spacer was used to impart a high degree of hydrophobicity. The new guar gum benzamide was resistant to water and soluble in non aqueous solvent like dimethyl sulfoxide. Cast films of thickness 0.162 mm had a breaking point tensile strength of 21.95 Mpa. The water vapor permeability of biomaterial film was 0.28 g mm kPa(-1)h(-1)m(-2) and water contact angle on evaporative surface was 90.35 degree. Qualitative and quantitative biocide activity of film was established against Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. The new guar gum benzamide absorbed strongly in UV region.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D004202 Disinfectants Substances used on inanimate objects that destroy harmful microorganisms or inhibit their activity. Disinfectants are classed as complete, destroying SPORES as well as vegetative forms of microorganisms, or incomplete, destroying only vegetative forms of the organisms. They are distinguished from ANTISEPTICS, which are local anti-infective agents used on humans and other animals. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Biocide,Disinfectant,Biocides
