3D printed cinnamon essential oil/banana peel carbon dots loaded corn starch/gelatin bilayer film with enhanced functionality for food packaging application. Food Chem 2024; 448:139176. [PMID: 38574719 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Using 3D printing technology, a gelatin-polyvinyl alcohol‑carbon dots (GPC) layer+corn starch-polyvinyl alcohol-cinnamon essential oil (CPC) layer active bilayer film with an external barrier function and an internal controlled-release effect was successfully produced for food preservation. The GPC film was provided with potent antioxidant and UV blocking properties by the banana peel carbon dots (CDs). The cinnamon essential oil (CEO) had the strongest interaction with the film matrix at 3% (w/w), causing the CPC film having the lowest surface wettability, good integrity, and lowest crystallinity. The CEO's stability and releasing effectiveness were greatly enhanced by the creation of a bilayer film. At 60% filling rate of the CPC layer, the bilayer film showed the highest CEO retention after drying and the best CEO release performance. Finally, the created active bilayer film was found to significantly improve the sensory quality stability of the spicy essential oil microcapsule powders. It also successfully extended the mangoes' shelf life by delaying browning and rot.

Utilization of the waste aqueous phase from tea residue hydrothermal carbonization for preparing active food packaging films. Food Chem 2024; 448:139141. [PMID: 38574716 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is an effective strategy for high-value utilization of tea residue (TR), and it was noticed the aqueous phase (AP) has not been extensively studied. This study aimed to investigate the chemical components and characteristics of the AP, and applied it in active food packaging films. The results showed that the total phenolic content of AP was 1.86 mg GAE/mL, and the main compounds in AP were organic acids, alcohols, and amino acids. The AP showed excellent antibacterial activity and antioxidant capacity. The active films were prepared using the casting method. The 4:7-AP/PVA film showed outstanding mechanical properties (tensile strength = 34.18 MPa, elongation at break = 458.67%), antioxidant ability (DPPH scavenging capacity 92.01%), antibacterial activity, water resistance and biocompatibility. The banana preservation test showed the AP/PVA films could successfully prolong the shelf-life of bananas and have the potential to be food packaging films.

Abstract
In this study, we devised a photothermally stable phytochemical dye by leveraging alizarin in conjunction with the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 (AL@ZIF-8). The approach involved grafting alizarin into the microporous structure of ZIF-8 through physical adsorption and hydrogen-bonding interactions. AL@ZIF-8 significantly enhanced the photostability and thermostability of alizarin. The nanoparticles demonstrate substantial color changes in various pH environments, showcasing their potential for meat freshness monitoring. Furthermore, we introduced an intelligent film utilizing poly(vinyl alcohol)-sodium alginate-AL@ZIF-8 (PA-SA-ZA) for detecting beef freshness. The sensor exhibited a superior water contact angle (52.34°) compared to the alizarin indicator. The color stability of the film was significantly enhanced under visible and UV light (ΔE < 5). During beef storage, the film displayed significant color fluctuations correlating with TVB-N (R2=0.9067), providing precise early warning signals for assessing beef freshness.

Preparation of Steamed Purple Sweet Potato-Based Films Containing Mandarin Essential Oil for Smart Packaging. Molecules 2024; 29:2314. [PMID: 38792175 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29102314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Anthocyanin-rich steamed purple sweet potato (SPSP) is a suitable raw material to produce smart packaging films. However, the application of SPSP-based films is restricted by the low antimicrobial activity of anthocyanins. In this study, SPSP-based smart packaging films were produced by adding mandarin essential oil (MEO) as an antimicrobial agent. The impact of MEO content (3%, 6%, and 9%) on the structures, properties, and application of SPSP-based films was measured. The results showed that MEO created several pores within films and reduced the hydrogen bonding system and crystallinity of films. The dark purple color of the SPSP films was almost unchanged by MEO. MEO significantly decreased the light transmittance, water vapor permeability, and tensile strength of the films, but remarkably increased the oxygen permeability, thermal stability, and antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the films. The SPSP-MEO films showed intuitive color changes at different acid-base conditions. The purple-colored SPSP-MEO films turned blue when chilled shrimp and pork were not fresh. The MEO content greatly influenced the structures, physical properties, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the films. However, the MEO content had no impact on the color change ability of the films. The results suggested that SPSP-MEO films have potential in the smart packaging of protein-rich foods.

Abstract
In this study, development of bioactive coatings containing 1 % (w/v) chitosan (CS), 0.6 % (w/v) diepoxy-polyethylene glycol (PEG), and trans-cinnamaldehyde (CIN) was achieved. The physicochemical and biological properties of the coatings were investigated. The tensile strength, light transmission, water vapor permeability (WVP), and antibacterial properties were enhanced by the incorporation of CIN. The CIN-containing films appeared compact and rough, as observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In addition, the quality attributes of the bananas were evaluated at room temperature for 24 days, and the results showed that the CS/PEG/CIN coating delayed the respiration peak, weight loss, sugar content loss, and maintained firmness, color, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acid (TA), and the appearance of the bananas. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the bioactive coating significantly affected the respiration rate and weight loss of bananas.

Development of smart packaging film incorporated with sodium alginate-chitosan quaternary ammonium salt nanocomplexes encapsulating anthocyanins for monitoring milk freshness. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130336.

Abstract
This study focused on the preparation, functionality, and application of smart food packaging films based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and anthocyanins (ACNs) -loaded sodium alginate-chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (HACC-SA) nanocomplexes. The average encapsulation rate of anthocyanins-loaded nanocomplexes reached 62.51 %, which improved the hydrophobicity and water vapor barrier of the PVA film. FTIR confirmed that the nanocomplexes were immobilized in the PVA film matrix by hydrogen bonding, which improved the mechanical properties of the film. The SEM and XRD results demonstrated that the HACC-SA-ACNs nanocomplexes were uniformly distributed in the film matrix and the crystallinity of PVA was decreased. The P/HACC-SA-ACNs film showed a significant response to buffers of pH 2-13 and high color stability after 21 days of storage compared to the P/ACNs film. Furthermore, the color of the composite film changed from purple to red as the milk freshness decreased during 72 h of milk freshness monitoring, indicating that the P/HACC-SA-ACNs films were suitable and promising for application as smart packaging materials.

Abstract
The poor biological, mechanical and water-resistance properties of sodium alginate/guar gum film (SG) limit its application in food preservation. To overcome this disadvantage, we added β-Cyclodextrin/persimmon pectin-stabilized baobab seed oil Pickering emulsion (BOPE) to enhance the mechanical and water resistance properties of SG film, and added green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPS) and Lycium ruthenicum extract (LA) to improve the biological properties of the film. The properties of BOPE was optimized using Box-Behnken design (BBD). Scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared results revealed the change of structure and molecular interaction in the SG film after the addition of AgNPS, LA, and optimized BOPE. The 2.0%BOPE-loaded film containing AgNPS/LA with the enhanced mechanical, barrier, BO retention, and biological properties not only improved the preservation effect on mushroom (A. bisporus), but also maintained structural stability. Thus, the 2.0%BOPE-loaded SG/LA/AgNPS film has considerable potential in active packaging applications.

Abstract
Bananas are a typical climacteric fruit with high respiration and ethylene production rates after harvest, and they show rapid ripening-senescence phenotypes. Here, we demonstrate that carboxymethylcellulose nanofibers (CM-CNFs) and red cabbage extracts (RCE) can be used as a unique film coating formulation for enhancement of the shelf-life of fruit. A CM-CNF suspension solution is created through a process involving chemical modification, followed by mechanical grinding. It has a high aspect ratio that allows for the creation of a thin and transparent film on the surface of bananas. The cross-linked CM-CNF hydrogel forms a dense film layer on the banana surface during dehydration and prevents respiration and weight loss. RCE contains polyphenols acting as antioxidants, which prevent the appearance of black dots on the banana peels. It serves to mitigate the browning of banana skins and also hinders the respiration process, consequently slowing the aging of bananas.

Abstract
To maintain the freshness of the fruit during storage, sodium alginate/carboxymethyl cellulose films embedded with pH-senstive liposomes encapsulated green tea extract were developed (SA/CMC/TP-Lip). An orthogonal design was used to optimise the preparation of TP-Lip and SA/CMC/TP-Lip was prepared through response surface. The stability of TP-Lip structure was measured. The morphology of SA/CMC/TP-Lip was characterised by SEM, and the mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of films were measured. Special attention was paid to the pH sensitivity of TP-Lip and the improvement of film properties. The zeta potential and encapsulation rate of TP-Lip were -45.85 ± 2.13 mV and 61.45 ± 0.23%. The average release rate of TP encapsulated into TP-Lip at pH 3 was 41.08%, an increase of 23.07% over pH 6 during 12 h. SEM and FTIR showed that TP-Lip was structurally stable and had good compatibility with SA/CMC. Tensile strength was increased by 30.55% and DPPH radical scavenging capacity was increased by 7.16% with the addition of TP-Lip. SA/CMC/TP-Lip is applied to blueberries to reduce their weight loss and improve the loss of freshness of blueberries during storage. Thus, SA/CMC/TP-Lip could provide a new way to extend active packaging materials and maintain fruit freshness during storage.

Abstract
This research was aimed at developing a novel pH-responsive smart film made of chitosan, zein and red radish anthocyanin (RRA). The morphology, interaction, crystallization, thermal stability, physiochemical properties and pH sensitivity of films were analyzed. The smart film was applied to monitor the freshness of mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). The results of morphology (SEM) and spectrum (FT-IR and XRD) indicated that the incorporation of RRA could enhance the interaction between polymer matrix. The addition of RRA had no significant effect on the thermal stability of films. The chitosan/zein/red radish anthocyanin (C/Z/R) films exhibited higher tensile strength, Young's modulus, hydrophobicity, antioxidant activity and lower elongation at break. The C/Z/R films had stronger water vapor and gas barrier capacity. The C/Z/R films showed a pH-sensitive color variation from red (pH 2) to green (pH 12) and good reversibility under alkaline and acidic environment. The prepared smart film could be successfully used for the quality monitoring of mushroom.

Abstract
Considering the growing threats to the environment and human health, such as plastic pollution and food spoilage, the development of naturally antibacterial food packaging materials with biodegradable capabilities has recently attracted considerable attention. This work applies the concept of green environmental protection to packaging technology, and a new type of green edible antibacterial packaging film was developed. The basic idea is to incorporate furoic acid (FA), which possesses excellent antibacterial activity, into the flaxseed gum and konjac glucomannan matrix (FK) as a filler to obtain a series of FK-FA bioactive films. This incorporation simultaneously improves the hydrophobicity and UV-barrier ability by 12.28 % and 42.87 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the diameters of the antibacterial zone of the FK-FA0.4% films (composite FK films containing 0.4 % FA) against E. coli and S. aureus increased to 38.98 mm and 36.29 mm from 24.00 mm of pure FK film, respectively. As a consequence, the grape sample sealed with FK-FA0.4% film remained edible on the 18th day of storage, while those packaged with commercial PE film and pure FK were seriously rotted and lost edible value on the 12th day, further confirming the enhanced preservation capacity. Finally, the as-prepared films were established to be biodegradable and were almost completely degraded within 25 days under simulated environmental conditions. Overall, these promising results show the potential of FK-FA films for replacing plastic packaging materials as eco-friendly edible films with prolonged shelf life for active packaging.

Abstract
Antibacterial packaging used to control the growth of microorganisms in food is of great value for prolonging the shelf life of food. In this study, a bio-based antibacterial agent PDI based on zwitterionic and stereochemical synergistic antibacterial was designed and synthesized, and it was simultaneously introduced into polylactic acid (PLA) matrix with antioxidant o-vanillin (oVL) and plasticizer glycerol (GL). A series of PLA/oVL/PDI composite membranes with antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-ultraviolet properties were prepared by solution casting method. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the composite film were significantly improved compared with pure PLA (tensile strength increased by 37 %, elongation at break increased by 209 %), which was mainly attributed to the microphase separation structure induced by synthetic bio-based antibacterial agent, which improved the mechanical strength of PLA matrix, and the hydrogen bond formed by glycerol, o-vanillin and carbonyl group in PLA molecules plasticized PLA matrix. At the same time, the antibacterial rate of PLA/oVL/PDI composite membrane against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus can reach >95 %. Packaging experiments showed that PLA/oVL/PDI series composite films could effectively extend the shelf life of fresh bananas and apples for 5 days, and had great application prospects in preservative food packaging.

Abstract
Fruit rotting at the postharvest stage severely limits their marketing supply chains and shelf-life. Thus, developing a green and cost-effective approach to extend the shelf-life of perishable foods is highly desired. In this study, inspired by the mussel-adhesion strategy, a multifunctional fruit coating material has been developed using a quaternized catechol-functionalized chitosan (CQ-CS) grafted with 2, 3-epoxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride and 3, 4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde. The as-prepared CQ-CS coating exhibited excellent mechanical properties, universal surface adhesion abilities, antimicrobial and antioxidant capacities without any potential toxicity effects. Using strawberry and banana as model fruits, we showed that the CQ-CS coating could effectively maintain the fruit's firmness and color, decrease the weight loss rate, and prevent microbial growth, thus finally extending their shelf- life when compared to uncoated samples, indicating the universal application of the as-prepared CQ-CS coating. These findings demonstrated that this novel conformal coating of CQ-CS has great potential for fruit preservation in the food industry.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare a novel pH-sensitive smart film based on the addition of purple garlic peel extract (PGE) and TiO2 nanoparticles in a sodium alginate (SA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to monitor the freshness of beef. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the formation of stronger interaction forces between PVA/SA, PGE, and TiO2 nanoparticles, which showed good compatibility. In addition, the addition of PGE improved the tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite film, especially in different pH environments, and the color response was obvious. The addition of 1% TiO2 nanoparticles significantly improved the mechanical properties of the film, as well as the light barrier properties of the film. PGE could effectively be uniformly dispersed into the composite film, but it also had a certain slow-release effect on the release of PGE. PGE had high sensitivity under different pH conditions with rich color changes, and the color showed a clear color change from red to yellow-green when the pH increased from 1 to 14. The same change was observed when it was added to the film. In particular, by applying this film to the process of beef preservation, we judged the freshness of beef by monitoring the changes in the TVB-N value and pH value during the storage process of beef and found that the film showed obvious color changes during the storage process of beef, from blue (indicating freshness) to red (indicating non-freshness), and finally to yellow-green (indicating deterioration), which indicated that the color change of the film and the freshness of the beef maintained a highly consistent.

Abstract
A novel stable PVA/HPMC/roselle anthocyanin (RAE) indicator film co-pigmented with oxalic acid (OA) was prepared, its properties, application effects and stability enhancement mechanism were investigated correspondingly. The structural characterization revealed that more stable network was formed due to the co-pigmentation facilitated generation of molecular interactions. Meanwhile, the co-pigmentation improved film mechanical and hydrophobic properties compared to both PVA/HPMC/RAE newly prepared (PHRN) or stored (PHRS) film, expressing as higher tensile strength values (12.25% and 14.44% higher than PHRN and PHRS), lower water solubility (7.22% and 10.09% lower than PHRN and PHRS) and water vapor permeability values (33.20% and 21.05% lower than PHRN and PHRS) of PVA/HPMC/RAE/OA newly prepared (PHON) or stored (PHOS) film. Compared with the PHRS film, the PHOS film still presented more distinguishable color variations when being applied to monitor shrimp freshness, owing to the stabilization behaviors of co-pigmentation in anthocyanin conformation. Hence, the co-pigmentation was an effective strategy to enhance film stability, physical and pH-responsive properties after long term storage, leading to better film monitoring effects when applied in real-time freshness monitoring.

Abstract
A novel antibacterial indicator film was prepared by mixing corn starch with tangerine peel essential oil (TEO) Pickering emulsion emulsified by ultrasonic and esterified modified starch (UDSt), and then incorporated with purple corncob anthocyanin (PCA), which was used to monitor the freshness of pork. The results showed that the UDSt can effectively stabilize the TEO emulsion. PCA showed obvious color changes at different pH. With the increase of pH, the color of film changed from red to yellow, and its response to volatile ammonia changed from pink to cyan, showing better response ability. The loading of TEO conferred the film excellent bacteriostatic ability against E. coli and S. aureus. The film also had good ability of light blocking and free radical scavenging. In the process of pork deterioration, the antibacterial indicator film changed from pink to yellow, which was closely related to pork quality and had a good linear indicator correlation. The addition of TEO reduced the release of PCA in the antibacterial indicator film and helped to maintain the functional properties of the film. This type of antibacterial indicator film had considerable application potential in indicating food freshness.

Abstract
With the increasing concerns of food safety and public health, tremendous efforts have been concentrated on the development of effective, reliable, nondestructive methods to evaluate the freshness level of different kinds of food. Natural colorants-based intelligent colorimetric indicators which are typically constructed with natural colorants and polymer matrices has been regarded as an innovative approach to notify the customers and retailers of the food quality during the storage and transportation procedure in real-time. This review briefly elucidates the mechanism of natural colorants used for intelligent colorimetric indicators and fabrication methodologies of natural colorants-based food freshness indicators. Subsequently, their multifunctional applications in intelligent food packaging systems like antioxidant packaging, antimicrobial packaging, biodegradable packaging, UV-blocking packaging and inkless packaging are well introduced. This paper also summarizes several optimizing strategies for the practical application of this advanced technology from different perspectives. Strategies like adopting a hydrophobic matrix, constructing double-layer film and encapsulation have been developed to improve the stability of the indicators. Co-pigmentation, metal ion complexation, pigment-mixing and using substrates with high surface area are proved to be effective to enhance the sensitivity of the indicators. Approaches include multi-index evaluation, machine learning and smartphone-assisted evaluation have been proven to improve the accuracy of the intelligent food freshness indicators. Finally, future research opportunities and challenges are proposed. Based on the fundamental understanding of natural colorants-based intelligent colorimetric food freshness indicators, and the latest research and findings from literature, this review article will help to develop better, lower cost and more reliable food freshness evaluation technique for modern food industry.

Multi-functional konjac glucomannan/chitosan bilayer films reinforced with oregano essential oil loaded β-cyclodextrin and anthocyanins for cheese preservation. Int J Biol Macromol 2023:125365. [PMID: 37330095 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
In this work, a multifunctional bilayer film was prepared by solvent casting method. Elderberry anthocyanins (EA) were incorporated into konjac glucomannan (KGM) film as the inner indicator layer (KEA). β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) loaded with oregano essential oil (OEO) inclusion complexes (β-CD@OEO) was prepared and incorporated into chitosan (CS) film as the outer hydrophobic and antibacterial layer (CS-β-CD@OEO). The impacts of β-CD@OEO on the morphological, mechanical, thermal, water vapor permeability and water resistance properties, pH sensitivity, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of bilayer films were thoroughly evaluated. The incorporation of β-CD@OEO into bilayer films can significantly improve the mechanical properties (tensile strength (TS): 65.71 MPa and elongation at break (EB): 16.81 %), thermal stability, and water resistance (Water contact angle (WCA): 88.15°, water vapor permeability (WVP): 3.53 g mm/m2 day kPa). In addition, the KEA/CS-β-CD@OEO bilayer films showed color variations in acid-base environments, which could be used as pH-responsive indicators. The KEA/CS-β-CD@OEO bilayer films also presented controlled release of OEO, good antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity, which exhibited good potential for the preservation of cheese. To sum up, KEA/CS-β-CD@OEO bilayer films have potential applications in the field of food packaging industry.

[PMID: 37245755 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
The development of real-time and convenient meat freshness indication technology is crucial to ensure food safety. A novel antibacterial visualized intelligent film was designed based on polyvinyl alcohol (PA), sodium alginate (SA), zein (ZN), chitosan (CS), alizarin (AL) and vanillin (VA) using layer-by-layer assembly (LBL) method for real-time and in situ monitoring of pork freshness. The fabricated film had various advantageous properties, including an excellent hydrophobicity with a water contact angle (WCA) of 91.59°, improved color stability, excellent water barrier properties and increased mechanical performance (TS = 42.86 MPa). The fabricated film also demonstrated effective antibacterial properties with a bacteriostatic circle diameter of 13.6 mm for Escherichia coli. Moreover, the film can perceive and visualize the antibacterial effect through color changes, enabling dynamic visual monitoring of the antibacterial effect. A good correlation (R2 = 0.9188) between the color changes (ΔE) and total viable count (TVC) of pork was documented. Conclusively, fabricated multifunctional film improves the accuracy and versatility of freshness indication and had great potential for food preservation and freshness monitoring. The outcomes of this research provides a new perspective for the design and development of multifunctional intelligent films.

Lignocellulose nanofibrils/guar gum-based ethylene scavenging composite film integrated with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 for food packaging. Int J Biol Macromol 2023:125031. [PMID: 37244327 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
Ethylene, a ripening hormone, is critical in limiting the shelf life of fresh produce, specifically climacteric fruits and vegetables. A simple and benign fabrication approach is used to transform sugarcane bagasse, an agro-industrial waste into lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNF). In this investigation, biodegradable film was fabricated using LCNF (extracted from sugarcane bagasse) and guar gum (GG) which was reinforced with zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8/zeolite. The LCNF/GG film not only acts as a biodegradable matrix to hold the ZIF-8/zeolite composite, but also possesses ethylene scavenging, antioxidant, and UV-blocking properties. The characterization results suggested that pure LCNF showed antioxidant activity of around 69.55 %. The LCNF/GG/MOF-4 film has shown lowest UV-transmittance (5.06 %) and highest ethylene scavenging capacity (40.2 %) among all the samples. After 6 days of storage at 25 ± 2 °C, packaged control bananas samples underwent significant degradation. In contrast, a banana package consisting of LCNF/GG/MOF-4 film maintained their high quality in terms of colour. Fabricated novel biodegradable film has potential application prospects for being used in prolonging the shelf life of fresh produce.

Development and characterization of active packaging based on chitosan/chitin nanofibers incorporated with scallion flower extract and its preservation in fresh-cut bananas. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:125045. [PMID: 37230454 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a novel active packaging using chitosan (CS) and esterified chitin nanofibers (CF) combined with different contents (1, 2 and 4 wt% on CS basis) of scallion flower extract (SFE) to protect banana samples. The addition of CF significantly improved the barrier and mechanical properties of the CS films (p < 0.05) due to hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. Moreover, the addition of SFE not only improved the physical properties of the CS film but also improved the CS film biological activity. The oxygen barrier property and antibacterial ability of CF-4%SFE were approximately 5.3 and 1.9 times higher than those of the CS film, respectively. In addition, CF-4%SFE had strong DPPH radical scavenging activity (74.8 ± 2.3 %) and ABTS radical scavenging activity (84.06 ± 2.08 %). Fresh-cut bananas stored in CF-4%SFE showed less weight loss, starch loss, color and appearance change than those stored in traditional polyethylene film, which indicated that CF-4%SFE was much better at storing fresh-cut bananas than conventional plastic packaging. For these reasons, CF-SFE films have great potential as a candidate to replace traditional plastic packaging and extend the shelf life of packaged foods.

Abstract
The gelatin/gellan gum based-bilayer emulsion film was developed in this work to improve the survivability of Bifidobacterium longum during the storage process. The baobab seed oil (BO) was added to the gelatin (GE) matrix to develop emulsion film as the barrier outer layer. The blueberry anthocyanin extract (BE) was incorporated into the gellan gum (GG)-based inner layer to enhance the viability of B. longum. The SEM and FTIR results revealed that the probiotics were successfully entrapped in BO/BE-loaded bilayer film. The greatest survivability and viable cell numbers of the B. longum during the storage period were observed in the BO/BE loaded bilayer film. Furthermore, the stability of the colorful patterns by electrochemical writing was also evaluated in this work. Finally, the GE/BO-GG/BE/BM maintain satisfactory probiotic viability in steamed bread coating application. Hence, the GE/BO-GG/BE/BM bilayer film could be considered a novel material to deliver and protect the probiotics in food applications.

Abstract
Visual indicator bi-layer films were manufactured incorporating κ-carrageenan, butterfly pea flower anthocyanin, varying Nano‑titanium dioxide (TiO2) content and agar for Penaeus chinensis (Chinese white shrimp) freshness detection. The κ-carrageenan-anthocyanin (CA) layer served as indicator, while the TiO2-agar (TA) layer functioned as the protective layer to improve the photostability of film. The bi-layer structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The TA2-CA film had the best tensile strength with a value of 17.8 MPa and the lowest water vapor permeability (WVP) value of bi-layer films was 2.98 × 10-7 g.m-1.h-1.pa-1. The bi-layer film protected anthocyanin against exudation when immersed in aqueous solution of varying pH. The TiO2 particles filled the pores of the protective layer, increasing the opacity from 1.61 up to 4.49 significantly improving the photostability with a consequent slight color change under illumination of UV/visible light. Under UV irradiation, the TA2-CA film had no significant color change with a ΔE value of 4.23. Finally, the TA2-CA films showed an obvious color change from blue to yellow green in the early stages of Penaeus chinensis putrefaction (≤48 h) then the color change and Penaeus chinensis freshness were well correlated (R2 = 0.8739).

Abstract
The objective of this study was to make a film matrix containing chitosan (CS) and guar gum (GG), and to improve the physicochemical properties of the film using watermelon rind extract (WRE) as a cross-linker and active substance for the preservation of fresh-cut bananas. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy showed that the WRE and CG matrix formed intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions, which made the structure of the resulting films more compact. With increasing amounts of WRE, the mechanical properties of the films were significantly increased, but the permeability of water vapor and oxygen was significantly decreased (p < 0.05). Notably, when the amount of extract reached 4 wt%, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the composite film significantly increased to 83.24 %, and the antibacterial activity also reached its highest value. Fresh-cut bananas were stored at room temperature with polyethylene film, CG and CG-WRE. The CG with 4 wt% WRE effectively inhibited the changes in appearance, firmness, weight, color and total soluble solids content of fresh-cut bananas during storage. Therefore, CG-WRE as a novel active food packaging material, has good physicochemical properties and great potential to extend the shelf life of foods.

Abstract
Two shapes of ZnO clusters constructed by the growth of spindle-like (I-ZnO) and sheet-like (II-ZnO) microparticles added to Locust bean gum/carboxycellulose nanocrystal (LBG/C-CNC) coating for improving properties as the enhancers and antibacterial agents. Subsequently, active LBG/C-CNC/ZnO (LCZ) coatings were evaluated to combat the fruits rot triggered by microorganisms aiming to extend their shelf life. The results showed that II-ZnO clusters with flower-shape enhanced the properties more obviously due to more interaction sites. The oxygen and water vapor permeability of the coating containing 5 % II-ZnO (LCZII-5) decreased from 2.00 and 5.98 × 10-11 to 0.6 cm3 mm m-2 day-1 atm-1 and 1.85 × 10-11 g m-1 s-1 Pa-1, respectively. And the antibacterial rate against E. coli and S. aureus could reach more than 75 %. Meanwhile, the tensile strength (TS) increased by 50.95 %. The inhibition rates on strawberries of weight and Vc loss by LCZII-5 coating were 30.64 % and 53.59 %, respectively. More importantly, the coatings could be easily washed off with water in spite of tightly being connected with the surface of the strawberries. As was expected, this study provides a feasible method for preparing novel fruit coatings with an effective preservation.

Abstract
In this study, arginineated chitosan (ACS) was used as a soft brain membrane and chelating agent to synthesize ACS-ZnO NPs, and then ACS and ACS-ZnO NPs were added to a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix as an antimicrobial agent to form films by casting. The formation and structural morphology of ACS and ACS-ZnO NPs were investigated by applying FTIR, 1H NMR, XRD, EDS, SEM, and TEM techniques, and ACS has shown better water solubility. The cytotoxicity experiments of ACS and ACS-ZnO NPs on A549 cells showed that both had good cytocompatibility. The incorporation of ACS and ACS-ZnO NPs improves the composite film's mechanical properties, water barrier, and oxygen barrier and exhibits excellent antibacterial activities against S. aureus and E. coli. More importantly, in addition to extending the shelf life of cherry tomatoes, the composite film is also biodegradable to some degree. Therefore, polyvinyl alcohol films based on ACS and ACS-ZnO NPs added as antimicrobial agents have great potential for food packaging applications.

Abstract
Petroleum-based packaging materials are typically nonbiodegradable, which leads to significant adverse environmental and health issues. Therefore, developing novel efficient, biodegradable, and nontoxic food packaging film materials has attracted increasing attention from researchers. Due to significant research and advanced technology, synthetic additives in packaging materials are progressively replaced with natural substances such as essential oils (EOs). EOs demonstrate favorable antioxidant and antibacterial properties, which would be an economical and effective alternative to synthetic additives. This review summarized the possible antioxidant and antimicrobial mechanisms of various EOs. We analyzed the properties and performance of food packaging films based on various biopolymers incorporated with EOs. The progress in intelligent packaging materials has been discussed as a prospect of food packaging materials. Finally, the current challenges regarding the practical application of EOs-containing biopolymer films in food packaging and areas of future research have been summarized.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop zein/chitosan-based films formulated with curcumin and eugenol to improve the quality of postharvest blueberries. First, the film-forming solutions were characterized (rheological property and water distribution), and the mechanical, structural properties and bioactivity of active films fabricated by casting were evaluated. Further, the active film was coated with blueberry stored at 4 °C, and physicochemical properties (weight loss, hardness, microbial counts, and appearance changes) were measured. The film-forming solutions exhibited non-Newtonian behavior. The incorporation of curcumin and eugenol improved the tensile strength and elongation at the break of films, reaching 17.86 MPa and 92.80 %, respectively. The antioxidant capacity was enhanced, and DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates were up to 90.60 ± 0.06 % and 86.34 ± 0.39 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the prepared active films possessed good anti-UV and sensitive pH-response color-shifting ability. Compared to the uncoated blueberry, blueberry coated with zein/chitosan/curcumin/eugenol showed lower weight loss and higher hardness, indicating that the prepared active films played a vital role in delaying the deterioration of blueberry and extending its shelf life. Overall, the zein-chitosan incorporated with curcumin and eugenol films could be a promising candidate to prolong the shelf life of food products due to their excellent bioactive capacity.

Abstract
In this study, the gallic acid (antioxidant)-rich leaf extract of Ficus auriculata was incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and utilized as a coating to delay the ripening of green bananas. The films exhibited low opacity of 0.86 ± 0.014 for pure PVA (PP) and 0.92 ± 0.019, 0.99 ± 0.020, and 1.18 ± 0.029 for PVA + 1% extract (PE1), PVA + 5% extract (PE5), and PVA + 10% extract (PE10), respectively, indicating excellent transparency. The weight loss was higher in the uncoated group than in any coated fruits. The reduction in titratable acidity and the increase in total soluble sugars were slower in all of the coated samples as compared to the uncoated ones. The fruits without any treatment attained complete maturity on the ninth day where the ion leakage was 85.61 ± 2.33% while that of PP was 56.36 ± 2.95% and those of PE1, PE5, and PE10 remained below 30%. The coated samples showed better retention and consequently slower degradation of chlorophyll. The fruits coated with pure PVA as well as 10% extract-incorporated PVA remained acceptable till day 15, while the ones with 1 and 5% of extract reached full ripeness on day 18. Results of the present investigation suggest that safe, low-cost, and environmentally friendly coatings can improve the shelf life of perishable produces like bananas.

Abstract
Color indicator films for fish freshness were fabricated by incorporating κ-carrageenan (CAR) polymer with red grape skin extract (GSE) as a pH-sensing agent and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as an antimicrobial agent. Anthocyanins in GSE exhibited distinguished pH responsive color changes. GSE and AgNPs were well compatible with CAR with intramolecular interactions, approved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). GSE-containing films displayed distinguished color changes in response to pH variations and volatile ammonia. Enhanced UV blocking ability and strong antioxidant activity were revealed for GSE included films without sacrificing the physico-chemical properties of the CAR film. Films containing AgNPs showed improved mechanical strength and strong antimicrobial ability against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The CAR/AgNPs/GSE film displayed a distinctive color change corresponding to changes in the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) of fish during storage. In addition, the CAR/AgNPs/GSE film showed excellent color stability to consecutive UV exposure and its storage time at 25 °C is expected to be at least 240 days, which indicates that it has high potential as an intelligent food freshness indicator film.

Abstract
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a novel edible packaging film for the postharvest preservation of banana based on chitosan (CS) and persimmon peel extract (PPE). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed PPE was evenly distributed in the CS matrix and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis showed CS and PPE interacted to form hydrogen bonds, demonstrating good compatibility. Simultaneously, the addition of PPE also significantly improved CS film's physical properties and antioxidant activity. Among them, the CS film containing 10% PPE (CS-PPE 10) showed the optimal mechanical properties, water vapor barrier properties and oxygen barrier properties. The CS film containing 15% PPE (CS-PPE 15) exhibited the best thermal stability, UV-Vis barrier properties and antioxidant activity. In the experiment of banana preservation, CS-PPE 10 film obtained optimal performance on decreasing senescence spots, weight loss, fruit softening, cell wall degradation, inhibiting the activities of polyphenol oxidase and cell wall degrading enzymes and maintaining the content of total soluble sugar and ascorbic acid during the storage period. Consequently, CS-PPE 10 film was expected to be a novel edible packaging material to maintain banana quality and prolong shelf life.

Immunomodulatory and Antioxidant Potential of Biogenic Functionalized Polymeric Nutmeg Oil/Polyurethane/ZnO Bionanocomposite. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13122197. [PMID: 34959478 PMCID: PMC8703756 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13122197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The current study is focused on the biosynthesis of nutmeg oil/ polyurethane/ZnONPs bionanocomposite film for immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities. The fabricated film was prepared by using naturally extracted nutmeg oil functionalized with ZnONPs in the presence of polyutherane (PU) medium. The bionanocomposite film was obtained by incorporating dropwise 10 % (w/v) of nutmeg oil to the PU solution/ZnONPs blend. The active constituents of nutmeg oil were determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The morphological characteristics of the resulting bionanocomposite film were confirmed using various microscopic and spectroscopic methods. Immunomodulatory potential of bionanocomposite was evaluated for RAW 264.7 macrophages. The results exhibited an excellent reduction in inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, and TNFα) secretions after the treatment with bionanocomposite. The bionanocomposite exerted the highest inhibitory effects on certain cell signaling constituents that influence the initiation of expression of proinflammatory cytokines. The bionanocomposite was also tested for DPPH and ABTS free radicals scavenging assays and showed excellent antioxidant potential with IC50 values (0.28 ± 0.22 and 0.49 ± 0.36), respectively. The outcomes suggested promising immunomodulatory and antioxidant potentials for the biogenic synthesized nutmeg oil/PU/ZnONPs polymeric bionanocomposite.
