Abstract
ε-Poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) is a natural homo-poly(amino acid) which can be produced by microorganisms. With the advantages in broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, ε-PL has been widely used as a preservative in the food industry. Different molecular architectures endow ε-PL and ε-PL-based materials with versatile applications. However, the microbial synthesis of ε-PL is currently limited by low efficiencies in genetic engineering and molecular architecture modification. This review presents recent advances in ε-PL production and molecular architecture modification of microbial ε-PL, with a focus on the current challenges and solutions for the improvement of the productivity and diversity of ε-PL. In addition, we highlight recent examples where ε-PL has been applied to expand the versability of edible films and nanoparticles in various applications. Commercial production and the challenges and future research directions in ε-PL biosynthesis are also discussed. Currently, although the main use of ε-PL is as a food preservative, ε-PL and ε-PL-based polymers have shown excellent application potential in biomedical fields. With the development of synthetic biology, the design and synthesis of ε-PL with a customized molecular architecture are possible in the near future. ε-PL-based polymers with specific functions will be a new trend in biopolymer manufacturing.

Abstract
Antimicrobial bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes incorporated with carbon dots (CDs) were developed to improve the shelf life and ensure the safety of minced beef during 9 days of storage at 4 °C. An ex-situ method was used to develop BC-CDs with different CDs loading capacities (16.50, 22.50, and 38.50 mg/cm3). Only BC-CDs38.50 membrane exhibited toxicity in human embryonic kidney cells, and BC-CDs membranes had the slowest release rate of CDs in 95% ethanol. Significant differences were noted in the chemical and sensory attributes of samples packaged with BC-CDs16.50 and BC-CDs22.50, compared to the control. The microbial counts in samples with BC-CDs were significantly lower than those in samples with pristine BC membranes or the control. Notably, the BC-CDs22.50 membrane exhibited a substantial reduction (4.7 log10 CFU/g) in Escherichia coli counts by the end of storage. These findings highlight the potential of BC-CDs membranes as effective antimicrobial materials in meat packaging.

Abstract
The development of electrochemical stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems is of both academic and industrial interest due to the ease with which it is possible to trigger payload release, providing drug delivery in a controllable manner. Herein, the preparation of in situ forming hydrogels including electroactive polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPy-NPs) where Sr2+ ions are electrochemically loaded for electrically triggered release of Sr2+ ions is reported. The hydrogels were characterized by a variety of techniques including Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), etc. The cytocompatibility towards human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and fibroblasts were also studied. The Sr2+ ion loaded PEC-ALD/CS/PPy-NPs hydrogel showed no significant cytotoxicity towards human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and fibroblasts. Sr2+ ions were electrochemically loaded and released from the electroactive hydrogels, and the application of an electrical stimulus enhanced the release of Sr2+ ions from gels by ca. 2-4 fold relative to the passive release control experiment. The antibacterial activity of Sr2+ ions against E. coli and S. aureus was demonstrated in vitro. Although these prototypical examples of Sr2+ loaded electroactive gels don't release sufficient Sr2+ ions to show antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, we believe future iterations with optimised physical properties of the gels will be capable of doing so.

Abstract
This research aims to discover a viable substitute for the common harmful plastic packaging utilized in food products. Citric acid was employed as an accessible and risk-free precursor in synthesizing graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Using the efficient carbonization technique, GQDs were obtained and subsequently transferred to nano-biofilms in varying percentages relative to natural polymers. FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, and AFM analyses were conducted to examine the formation of the nano-biofilms. GQDs demonstrated optimal performance in the disk diffusion method and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical approach. Adding GQDs to starch and gelatin composite improved the physical properties of nano-biofilms such as moisture contact, swelling index, and solubility. The transparency of the films was reduced by GQDs, which reduces the transmission of visible light and plays an important role in food protection. The packaging films' weight loss due to decomposition was examined after being buried in soil for 50 days, which relieved the eco-concerns of these packaging films. To evaluate the performance of the films in inhibiting food spoilage, cherries, and cucumbers were packed with a control film and the fabricated film containing 14 wt% of GQD. After 14 days, the modified nano-biofilm was able to maintain the freshness of the samples.

Abstract
Innovation in green, convenient, and sustainable antimicrobial packaging materials for food is an inevitable trend to address global food waste challenges caused by microbial contamination. In this study, we developed a biogenic, hydrophobic, and antimicrobial protein network coating for food packaging. Experimental results show that disulfide bond breakage can induce the self-assembly of bovine albumin (BSA) into protein networks driven by hydrophobic interactions, and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) with antimicrobial activity can be stably bound in this network by electrostatic interactions. The inherent antimicrobial activity of COS and the numerous hydrophobic regions on the surface of the BSA-network give the BSA@COS-network significant in vitro antimicrobial ability. More importantly, the BSA@COS-network coating can prolong the onset of spoilage of strawberries in various packaging materials by nearly 3-fold in storage. This study shows how surface functionalization via protein self-assembly is integrated with the biological functioning of natural antibacterial activity for advanced food packaging applications.

Abstract
Metabolic by-products are part of the so-called postbiotics of probiotics and other beneficial microorganisms, particularly lactic acid bacteria, which have gained popularity as a feasible alternative to improving food quality and safety. Postbiotics in dry and liquid forms can be easily integrated into food formulations and packaging materials, exhibiting antimicrobial and antioxidant effects owing to the presence of multiple antimicrobials, such as organic acids, bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides and bioactive peptides. Postbiotics can thus control the growth of pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of food products. Because of their ability to be easily manufactured without requiring extensive processing, postbiotics are regarded as a safer and more sustainable alternative to synthetic preservatives, which can have negative environmental consequences. Additionally, food manufacturers can readily adopt postbiotics in food formulations without significant modifications. This systematic review provides an in-depth analysis of studies on the use of postbiotics in the biopreservation and packaging of a wide range of food products. The review evaluates and discusses the types of microorganisms, postbiotics preparation and modification techniques, methods of usage in dairy products, meat, poultry, seafood, fruits, vegetables, bread, and egg, and their effects on food quality and safety.

Abstract
Novel antimicrobial emitting aerogels based on starch/cellulose/Thymus daenensis Celak essential oil (SC-TDEO) were developed and optimized for antimicrobial packaging of Koopeh cheese. An aerogel formulation containing cellulose (1 %; extracted from sunflower stalks) and starch (5 %) in a 1:1 ratio was selected for in vitro antimicrobial assay and subsequent cheese application. The minimum inhibitory dose (MID) of TDEO in the vapor phase against Escherichia coli O157:H7 was determined by loading various concentrations of TDEO onto the aerogel, and an MID of 256 μL/Lheadspace was recorded. Aerogels containing TDEO at 25 × MID and 50 × MID were then developed and used for cheese packaging. During a 21-day storage period, cheeses treated with SC-TDEO50 MID aerogel exhibited a significant 3-log reduction in psychrophile counts and a 1-log reduction in yeast-mold counts. Moreover, significant changes in the population of E. coli O157:H7 were observed in cheese samples. After 7 and 14 days of storage with SC-TDEO25 MID and SC-TDEO50 MID aerogels, the initial bacterial count became undetectable, respectively. Sensory evaluations indicated that the samples treated with SC-TDEO25 MID and SC-TDEO50 aerogels received higher scores compared to the control group. These findings demonstrate the potential of the fabricated aerogel to develop antimicrobial packaging suitable for cheese applications.

Abstract
Novel strategies and materials have gained the attention of researchers due to the current pandemic, the global market high competition, and the resistance of pathogens against conventional materials. There is a dire need to develop cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable materials to fight against bacteria using novel approaches and composites. Fused filament fabrication (FFF), also known as fused deposition modeling (FDM), is the most effective and novel fabrication method to develop these composites due to its various advantages. Compared to metallic particles alone, composites of different metallic particles have shown excellent antimicrobial properties against common Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This study investigates the antimicrobial properties of two sets of hybrid composite materials, i.e., Cu-PLA-SS and Cu-PLA-Al, are made using copper-enriched polylactide composite, one-time printed side by-side with stainless steel/PLA composite, and second-time with aluminum/PLA composite respectively. These materials have 90 wt.% of copper, 85 wt.% of SS 17-4, 65 wt.% of Al with a density of 4.7 g/cc, 3.0 g/cc, and 1.54 g/cc, respectively, and were fabricated side by side using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) printing technique. The prepared materials were tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), Salmonella Poona (S. Poona), and Enterococci during different time intervals (5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 1 h, 8 h, and 24 h). The results revealed that both samples showed excellent antimicrobial efficiency, and 99% reduction was observed after 10 min. Hence, three-dimensional (3D) printed polymeric composites enriched with metallic particles can be utilized for biomedical, food packaging, and tissue engineering applications. These composite materials can also provide sustainable solutions in public places and hospitals where the chances of touching surfaces are higher.

Abstract
Active and intelligent food packaging has emerged to ensure food safety, quality, or spoilage monitoring and extend the shelf life of food. The development of intelligent packaging has accelerated significantly in recent years with a focus on monitoring changes in the quality of packaged products in real-time throughout the food supply chain. As one of the popular natural colorants, alizarin has attracted much consideration due to its excellent functional properties and quality to color change under varying pH. Alizarin is an efficient and cost-effective biomaterial with numerous biological features such as antioxidant, antibacterial, non-cytotoxic, and antitumor. This review focuses on an in-depth summary and prospects for alizarin as a natural and safe colorant that has the potential to be incorporated into intelligent packaging to track the freshness of packaged foodstuffs. The use of alizarin as an intelligent packaging agent shows huge potential for the application of food packaging and brings it one step closer to real-time monitoring of food quality throughout the supply chain. Finally, various limitations and future requirements are discussed to underscore the importance of developing alizarin-based intelligent functional food packaging systems.

Abstract
Research on the utilization of food waste and by-products, such as peels, pomace, and seeds has increased in recent years. The high number of valuable compounds, such as starch, protein, and bioactive materials in waste and by-products from food manufacturing industries creates opportunities for the food packaging industry. These opportunities include the development of biodegradable plastics, functional compounds, active and intelligent packaging materials. However, the practicality, adaptability and relevance of up-scaling this lab-based research into an industrial scale are yet to be thoroughly examined. Therefore, in this review, recent research on the development of active and intelligent packaging materials, their applications on seafood and meat products, consumer acceptance, and recommendations to improve commercialization of these products were critically overviewed. This work addresses the challenges and potential in commercializing food waste and by-products for the food packaging industry. This information could be used as a guide for research on reducing food loss and waste while satisfying industrial demands.

Abstract
Due to the prevailing existence of the COVID-19 pandemic, novel and practical strategies to combat pathogens are on the rise worldwide. It is estimated that, globally, around 10% of hospital patients will acquire at least one healthcare-associated infection. One of the novel strategies that has been developed is incorporating metallic particles into polymeric materials that neutralize infectious agents. Considering the broad-spectrum antimicrobial potency of some materials, the incorporation of metallic particles into the intended hybrid composite material could inherently add significant value to the final product. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate an antimicrobial polymeric PLA-based composite material enhanced with different microparticles (copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and bronze) for the antimicrobial properties of the hybrid composite. The prepared composite material samples produced with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing technology were tested for different time intervals to establish their antimicrobial activities. The results presented here depict that the sample prepared with 90% copper and 10% PLA showed the best antibacterial activity (99.5%) after just 20 min against different types of bacteria as compared to the other samples. The metallic-enriched PLA-based antibacterial sheets were remarkably effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli; therefore, they can be a good candidate for future biomedical, food packaging, tissue engineering, prosthetic material, textile industry, and other science and technology applications. Thus, antimicrobial sheets made from PLA mixed with metallic particles offer sustainable solutions for a wide range of applications where touching surfaces is a big concern.

Potential application of postbiotics metabolites from bioprotective culture to fabricate bacterial nanocellulose based antimicrobial packaging material. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 220:528-536. [PMID: 35988726 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.08.108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Postbiotics (P) of FreshQ, a food protective culture, was prepared and used to develop an antimicrobial membrane by bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). Postbiotics were prepared in de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe medium and freeze-dried. The chemical composition was investigated by GC-MS and the antibacterial activity of postbiotics on different bacterial and fungal strains was investigated. Finally, postbiotics were included in wet and lyophilized BNC by ex-situ method, and their antibacterial activity and FTIR specifications were studied. The GC-MS analysis of postbiotics revealed the presence of fatty acids, alkanes, aldehydes, hydrocarbones fatty acid esters, propionic acid, and certain antibacterial and antifungal compounds such as 2,4-Di-tert-butyl phenol and dotriacontane. Postbiotics revealed antibacterial activity on all investigated strains in a concentration-dependent manner and as the concentation decreased, there was a significant reduction in antimicrobial effects. The zone of inhibition for all bacterial pathogens exceeded 20 mm, then they were classified as "extremely sensitive microorganisms" to the postbiotics at 50 % concentration, while fungal strains revealed a lower zone of inhibition (<17 mm). The order of antimicrobial susceptibility was as follows: Listeria monocytogenes > Staphylococcus aureus > Escherichia coli > Salmonella Typhimurium > Aspergillus flavus > Penicillium citrinum. We also recognized that P-BNC in wet form has significant antimicrobial activity than lyophilized form due to the high adsorption capacity and open 3D structure of BNC in wet form. The fabricated material can serve as an antimicrobial membrane for food applications.

Abstract
A colorimetric bilayer film for pork freshness detection and preservation was developed using electrospinning technique. The bilayer film consisted of a layer with polyvinyl alcohol - sodium alginate - alizarin as sensor layer and a layer with polyvinylidene fluoride - vanillin as antibacterial layer. The water contact angle of bilayer film was larger than the single colorimetric layer. The color sensitivity to the ammonia of the bilayer film was higher, with an ΔE value of 47.99. The film could display color shifts from yellow to purple with the naked eye is critical for checking pork freshness. In addition, the bilayer film exhibited sensitive antibacterial activity, with an inhibition zone against S. aureus (8.3 mm) and E. coli (14.7 mm), respectively. Finally, the bilayer film was applied to freshness monitoring of pork. The film displayed significant color changes and prolonged the pork shelf life by 24 h at 25 °C.

Abstract
The effects of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-natamycin (N; 0.05 and 0.5%) coating on the quality of high-moisture mozzarella cheese (HMMC) were examined. The cheeses were immersed in the coating solutions and then kept at 7 °C for 8 days and microbial specifications (i.e., total mesophilic count, total psychrophilic count, lactic acid bacteria, and yeast-mold), pH, weight loss, and sensory properties were examined. The results of the agar spot diffusion assay represented inhibitory effects of CMC-N coating solution on Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, Penicillium citrinum, and Candida albicans. In HMMC, the natamycin-free CMC coating caused a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in all microbial groups, while the addition of natamycin to the coating only reduced the count of mold and yeast. As a result, the coating with natamycin at 0.05 and 0.5% represented a 0.6 and 0.9 log cycle reduction in yeast-mold populations, respectively. Based on the total mesophilic count, the control samples reached the 7 log CFU/g on day 4, indicating a 4-day shelf life of HMMC, while in HMMC coated with and without natamycin this limit was achieved on the 8th day of storage, which indicates that the coatings have doubled the HMMC shelf life.

Abstract
Natural fibers are an important source for producing polymers, which are highly applicable in their nanoform and could be used in very broad fields such as filtration for water/wastewater treatment, biomedicine, food packaging, harvesting, and storage of energy due to their high specific surface area. These natural nanofibers could be mainly produced through plants, animals, and minerals, as well as produced from agricultural wastes. For strengthening these natural fibers, they may reinforce with some substances such as nanomaterials. Natural or biofiber-reinforced bio-composites and nano–bio-composites are considered better than conventional composites. The sustainable application of nanofibers in agricultural sectors is a promising approach and may involve plant protection and its growth through encapsulating many bio-active molecules or agrochemicals (i.e., pesticides, phytohormones, and fertilizers) for smart delivery at the targeted sites. The food industry and processing also are very important applicable fields of nanofibers, particularly food packaging, which may include using nanofibers for active–intelligent food packaging, and food freshness indicators. The removal of pollutants from soil, water, and air is an urgent field for nanofibers due to their high efficiency. Many new approaches or applicable agro-fields for nanofibers are expected in the future, such as using nanofibers as the indicators for CO and NH3. The role of nanofibers in the global fighting against COVID-19 may represent a crucial solution, particularly in producing face masks.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has provided new opportunities for the food industry with its applications in food packaging. The addition of nanoparticles, such as clay, silver and copper, can improve the mechanical and antimicrobial properties of food packaging. However, nanoparticles may have an adverse impact on human health. This has led to legislative and regulatory concerns. The inhibitory effects of nano packaging on different microorganisms, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and molds, have been studied. Nanoparticles, like other materials, may have a diverse set of properties that need to be determined. In this review, different features of silver, clay and copper nanoparticles, such as their anti-microbial, cell toxicity, genetic toxicity, mechanical properties, and migration, are critically evaluated in the case of food packaging. Specifically, the viewpoints of WHO, FDA, and ESFA, concerning the nano-silver application in food packaging, are discussed as well.
