Resumo(s): | Ohmic heating (OH) is recognised as an emerging processing technology which recently is gaining increasing attention due to its ability to induce and control protein functionality. In this study, OH was used for the first time in the production of scaffolds for tissue engineering. BSA/casein solutions were processed by OH, promoting protein denaturation and aggregation, followed by cold-gelation through the addition of Ca2+. The formation of stable scaffolds was mostly dependent on the temperature and treatment time during OH processing. The variations of the electric field (EF) induced changes in the functional properties of both gel forming solutions and final scaffolds (contact angle, swelling, porosity, compressive modulus and degradation rate). The scaffolds biological performance was evaluated regarding their ability to support the adhesion and proliferation of human fibroblast cells. The production process resulted in a non-cytotoxic material and the changes imposed by the presence of the EF during the scaffolds production improved cellular proliferation and metabolic activity. Protein functionalization assisted by OH presents a promising new alternative for the production of improved and tuneable protein-based scaffolds for tissue engineering. |
