Abstract
Quercetin, an essential flavonoid compound, exhibits diverse biological activities including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Nevertheless, due to its inadequate solubility in water and vulnerability to degradation, pure quercetin is constrainedly utilized in pharmaceutical formulations and functional foods. Considering the existing scarcity of nanoparticles consisted of zein and hydrophobic biopolymers, this study developed a quercetin-loaded nanoencapsulation based on zein, shellac, and chitosan (QZSC). When the mass ratio of zein to chitosan was 4:1, the encapsulation efficiency of QZSC reached 74.95%. The ability of QZSC for scavenging DPPH radicals and ABTS radicals increased from 59.2% to 75.4% and from 47.0% to 70.2%, respectively, compared to Quercetin. For QZSC, the maximum release amount of quercetin reached 59.62% in simulated gastric fluid and 81.64% in simulated intestinal fluid, achieving controlled and regulated release in vitro. In summary, this study offers a highly promising encapsulation strategy for hydrophobic bioactive substances that are prone to instability.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have become a serious threat to public health. The utilization of antibacterial textiles offers an effective way to combat bacterial infections at the source, instead of relying solely on antibiotic consumption. Herein, efficient and durable antibacterial fibers based on quercetin and cellulose were prepared by a triaxial microfluidic spinning technology using ionic liquids (ILs) as the solvents. It was indicated that the structure and properties of the antibacterial fibers were affected by the type of IL and the flow rates during the triaxial microfluidic spinning process. Quercetin regenerated from [Emim]Ac underwent structural transformation and obtained an increased water solubility, while quercetin regenerated from [Emim]DEP remained unchanged, which was proven by FI-IR, XRD, and UV analyses. Furthermore, antibacterial fibers regenerated from [Emim]Ac exhibited the highest antibacterial activity of 96.9% against S. aureus, achieved by reducing the inner-to-outer flow rate ratio to 0 and concentrating quercetin at the center of fibers. On the other hand, when [Emim]DEP was used as the solvent, balancing the inner-to-outer flow rate ratio to concentrate quercetin in the middle layer of the fiber was optimal for achieving the best antibacterial activity of 93.3% because it promised both the higher encapsulation efficiency and release rate. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mathematically predicted the solvent exchange process during triaxial spinning, explaining the influence of IL types and flow rates on quercetin distribution and encapsulation efficiency. It was indicated that optimizing the distribution of antibacterial agents within the fibers can fully unleash its antibacterial potential while preserving the mechanical properties of the fiber. Therefore, the proposed simple triaxial spinning strategy provides valuable insights into the design of biomedical materials.

Abstract
Green and environmentally friendly natural bio-based food packaging films are increasingly favored by consumers. This study incorporated carboxylated-cellulose nanocrystal stabilized oregano essential oil (OEO) Pickering emulsion and ZnO nanoparticles (ZNPs) into konjac glucomannan (KGM)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) complexes to develop active food packaging films. The effects of OEO Pickering emulsion and ZNPs on the physical, structural, and antimicrobial activities of the nanocomposite films were evaluated. The OEO Pickering emulsion had a droplet size of 48.43 ± 3.56 μm and showed excellent dispersion and stability. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction analyses suggested that the interactions between the Pickering emulsion, ZNPs and KGM/CMCS matrix were mainly through hydrogen bonding. SEM observations confirmed that the Pickering emulsion and ZNPs were well incorporated into the KGM/CMCS matrix, forming tiny pores within the nanocomposite films. The incorporation of the OEO Pickering emulsion and/or ZNPs obviously increased the light and water vapor barrier ability, thermal stability, mechanical strength and antimicrobial properties of the KGM/CMCS nanocomposite film. Notably, KGM/CMCS/ZNPs/OEO Pickering emulsion films exhibited the highest barrier, and mechanical and antimicrobial activities due to the synergistic effect between the OEO Pickering emulsion and ZNPs. These results suggest that KGM/CMCS/ZNPs/OEO Pickering emulsion films can be utilized as novel active food packaging materials to extend the shelf life of packaged foods.

Abstract
As an excellent alternative to petroleum-based food packaging materials, a novel green hybrid composite film with an excellent interconnected network structure was successfully fabricated by integrating chitosan (chi), microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), and lignin nanoparticles (LNP), including the desired amount of plasticizer glycerol (gly). Overall, 36 combinations were developed and investigated for superior biocomposite film formation. Among the various concentration ratios, the 40:35:25 chi-MCC-gly film provided well-organized film formation, good physicochemical properties, mechanical stability, efficient water contact angle, reduced water solubility, and lower water vapor permeability (11.43 ± 0.55 × 10-11 g.m-1.s-1.Pa-1). The performance of the chi-MCC-gly film further enhanced by the homogeneous incorporation of ∼100 nm LNP. With 1 % LNP addition, the tensile strength of the film increased (28.09 MPa, 47.10 % increase) and the water vapor permeability reached a minimum of 11.43 × 10-11 g.m-1.s-1.Pa-1, which proved the impact of LNP in composite films. Moreover, the films showed excellent resistance to thermal shrinkage even at 100 °C and exhibited nearly 100 % UV blocking efficiency at higher LNP concentrations. Interestingly, the green composite films extended the shelf life of freshly cut cherry tomatoes to seven days without spoilage. Overall, the facile synthesis of strong, insoluble, UV-blocking, and thermally stable green composite films realized for food packaging applications.

Abstract
The hierarchically porous property of CaCO3 has attracted considerable attention in the field of active delivery ingredients due to its high adsorption capacity. Here, a facile and high-efficient approach to control the calcification processes of CaCO3 ending with calcite microparticles with superior porosity and stability is reported and evaluated. In this work, a series of quercetin promoted CaCO3 microparticles, using soy protein isolate (SPI) as entrapment agent, was synthesized, characterized, and their digestive behavior and antibacterial activity were evaluated. Results obtained indicated that quercetin showed good ability to direct the calcification pathway of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) with the formation of flower- and petal-like structures. The quercetin-loaded CaCO3 microparticles (QCM) had a macro-meso-micropore structure, which was identified to be the calcite form. The macro-meso-micropore structure provided QCM with the largest surface area of 78.984 m2g-1. The loading ratio of SPI to QCM was up to 200.94 μg per mg of QCM. The protein and quercetin composite microparticles (PQM) were produced by simply dissolving the CaCO3 core, and the obtained PQM was used for the delivery of quercetin and protein. Thermogravimetric analysis showed PQM presented with good thermal stability without the CaCO3 core. Furthermore, minor discrepancy was noted in protein conformational structures after removing the CaCO3 core. In vitro digestion revealed that approximately 80% of the loaded quercetin was released from PQM during intestinal digestion, and the released quercetin exhibited efficient transportation across the Caco-2 cell monolayer. More importantly, the PQM digesta retained enhanced antibacterial activities to inhibit growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Porous calcites show a high potential as a delivery system for food applications.

Abstract
Although food packaging preserves food's quality, it unfortunately contributes to global climate change since the considerable carbon emissions associated with its entire life cycle. Polysaccharide-based packaging materials (PPMs) are promising options to preserve foods, potentially helping the food industry reduce its carbon footprint. PPMs incorporated with phytochemicals hold promise to address this critical issue, keep food fresh and prolong the shelf life. However, phytochemicals' health benefits are impacted by their distinct chemical structures thus the phytochemicals-incorporated PPMs generally exhibit differential performances. PPMs must be thoughtfully formulated to possess adequate physicochemical properties to meet commercial standards. Given this, this review first-time provides a comprehensive review of recent advances in the fabrication of phytochemicals incorporated PPMs. The application performances of phytochemicals-incorporated PPMs for preserving foods, as well as the intelligent monitoring of food quality, are thoroughly introduced. The possible associated environmental impacts and scalability challenges for the commercial application of these PPMs are also methodically assessed. This review seeks to provide comprehensive insights into exploring new avenues to achieve a greener and safer food industry via innovative food packaging materials. This is paramount to preserve not only food shelf life but also the environment, facilitating the eco-friendly development of the food industry.

Abstract
In this study, gliadin-carboxymethyl chitosan composite nanoparticles (GC NPs) co-encapsulated natamycin (Nata) and theaflavins (TFs) were constructed and added as an antioxidant, antifungal, and structural enhancer to carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) films. The stabilized GC NPs with a particle size of 160.7 ± 2.8 nm, a zeta potential of -29.0 ± 0.9 mV, and a protein content in the supernatant of 96 ± 1 % could be fabricated. Tests of pH and salt ions showed that the stability of NPs dispersion was based on electrostatic repulsion. Co-encapsulation of TFs enhanced the photostability of Nata and the antioxidant activity of the NPs dispersion. The interactions between gliadin with Nata and TFs were studied by molecular simulations. As a functional additive, the addition of Nata/TFs-GC NPs could improve the optical properties, mechanical properties, water-blocking capability, and antifungal and antioxidant activities of the CMCS films. The in-vivo test showed that the functional film could be used to inhibit the growth of Aspergillus niger on cheese.

Abstract
A series of biopolymeric chitosan-based (Ch) films were prepared with choline chloride and citric acid plasticizer (deep eutectic solvent, DES). An effect of adenine (A, vitamin B4) addition on the functional properties of these films was evaluated. Several physicochemical and mechanical properties were tested: Fourier-transformed infrared spectra proved DES's plasticizing and crosslinking effect, while scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy techniques confirmed the possible phase separation after adenine addition. These changes affected the mechanical characteristics and the water vapor and oxygen permeability. The prepared materials are not water soluble because the CA acts as a crosslinker. The adenine addition on antioxidative and antimicrobial properties was also checked. It was found that Ch-DES materials with A exhibit improved antioxidative properties (55.8-66.1% of H2O2 scavenging activity) in contrast to the pristine chitosan-DES material (51.1% of H2O2 scavenging activity), while the material is still non-mutagenic (lack of growth of Salmonella typhimurium) and possesses antimicrobial features (no E. coli observed for all the tested films and inhibition zones noted for S. aureus). The mentioned properties, reduced oxygen transmission (1.6-2.1 g m-2 h-1), and mechanical characteristics within the range of typical food packaging plastics proved the potential of Ch-DES-A films in the packaging sector. Moreover, the antioxidative properties, usage of substrates being allowed as food additives, and the presence of adenine create the advantage of the Ch-DES-A materials as edible coatings, being also a source of Vitamin B4.

Abstract
In this study, the addition of oregano oil chitosan nanoparticles (OEO-CSNPs) was conducted to enhance the comprehensive properties of gelatin films (GA), and the optimal addition ratio of nanoparticles was determined for its application in the preservation of mullet. Oregano oil chitosan nanoparticles were organically combined with gelatin at different concentrations (0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8%) to obtain oregano oil-chitosan nanoparticle-GA-based composite films (G/OEO-CSNPs), and thereafter G/OEO-CSNPs were characterized and investigated for their preservative effects on mullet. Subsequent analysis revealed that OEO-CSNPs were uniformly dispersed in the GA matrix, and that G/OEO-CSNPs had significantly improved mechanical ability, UV-visible light blocking performance and thermal stability. Furthermore, the nanoparticles exhibited excellent antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and they improved the films' suitability as edible packaging. The attributes of the G/OEO-CSNPs were optimized, the films had the strongest radical scavenging and lowest water solubility, and electron microscopy also showed nanoparticle penetration into the polymer when the concentration of OEO-CSNPs was 6% (thickness = 0.092 ± 0.001, TS = 47.62 ± 0.37, E = 4.06 ± 0.17, water solubility = 48.00 ± 1.11). Furthermore, the GA-based composite film containing 6% OEO-CSNPs was able to inhibit microbial growth, slow fat decomposition and protein oxidation, reduce endogenous enzyme activity, and delay the spoilage of mullet during the refrigeration process, all of which indicate its excellent potential for meat preservation application.

Abstract
Novel chitosan (Ch) films containing choline chloride and citric acid mixture as plasticizer (deep eutectic solvent, DES) and different amounts of quercetin (QUE) as antioxidant additive were prepared. Physicochemical and mechanical characteristics of the developed Ch/DES/QUE films were studied using FTIR, SEM, and AFM techniques. FTIR spectra revealed the possible interactions between all the components. The surface of the films was dense and rough. The addition of quercetin caused an increase in the tensile strength (TS) and Young's modulus, but significantly decreased the elongation at break. The films containing quercetin showed improved antioxidant activity in relation to Ch/DES film. Finally, the oxidation phenomena of rapeseed oils with and without chitosan films were evaluated as amounts of primary and secondary oxidation products and total oxidation index. The addition of Ch/DES films with quercetin to oil samples successfully retarded secondary lipid oxidation processes and improved its antioxidant activity under the accelerated storage condition.

Abstract
Meat by-products such as bones, skin, horns, hooves, feet, skull, etc., are produced from slaughtered mammals. Innovative solutions are very important to achieving sustainability and obtaining the added value of meat by-products with the least impact on the environment. Gelatin, which is obtained from products high in collagen, such as dried skin and bones, is used in food processing, and pharmaceuticals. Chitosan is derived from chitin and is well recognized as an edible polymer. It is a natural product that is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Recently, chitosan has attracted researchers' interests due to its biological activities, including antimicrobial, antitumor, and antioxidant properties. In this review, article, we highlighted the recent available information on the application of gelatin and chitosan as antioxidants, antimicrobials, food edible coating, enzyme immobilization, biologically active compound encapsulation, water treatment, and cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The current research work presented the synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose-gelatin (CMC/GEL) blend and CMC/GEL/ZnO-Nps hydrogel films which were characterized by FT-IR and XRD, and applied to antibacterial and antioxidant activities for food preservation as well as for biomedical applications. ZnO-Nps were incorporated into the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and gelatin (GEL) film-forming solution by solution casting followed by sonication. Homogenous mixing of ZnO-Nps with CMC/GEL blend improved thermal stability, mechanical properties, and moisture content of the neat CMC/GEL films. Further, a significant improvement was observed in the antibacterial activity and antioxidant properties of CMC/GEL/ZnO films against two food pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Overall, CMC/GEL/ZnO films are eco-friendly and can be applied in sustainable food packaging materials.

Abstract
Wound dressing composite films of O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OCMC) and gelatin were prepared and mixed with hydroxyapatite (HA) composited with Silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu) at different concentrations. The chemical, thermal, morphological, and biological properties of the composite films were studied. The analysis by FTIR confirmed the presence of interactions between gelatin and OCMC, and at the same time, the polymer matrix interactions with Ag-Cu/HA complex. The inclusion of nanoparticle to the composite was associated with an improvement of the thermal stability, morphological roughness, a 9–12% more hydrophobic behavior (composite C1, C5, and C8), increase in antibacterial activity from 23.2 to 33.1% for gram negative bacteria and from 37.28 to 40.59% for gram positive bacteria, and with a cell viability greater than 100% for 24 and 72 h. The films obtained can serve as a wound healing dressing and regenerating biomaterial.

Abstract
Optosensing chitosan-based membranes have been applied for the detection of heavy metals, especially in drinking water. The novelty of this study is based on the use of sulphated polysaccharides, in such optosensing membranes, aiming at an improved analytical performance. The sulphated polysaccharides, such as ulvan, fucoidan and chondroitin sulfate, were extracted from by-products and wastes of marine-related activities. The membranes were developed for the analysis of aluminum. The variation in the visible absorbance of the sensor membranes after the contact between the chromophore and the aluminum cation was studied. The membranes containing sulphated polysaccharides showed improved signals when compared to the chitosan-only membrane. As for the detection limits for the membranes containing ulvan, fucoidan and chondroitin sulfate, 0.17 mg L−1, 0.21 mg L−1 and 0.36 mg L−1 were obtained, respectively. The values were much lower than that obtained for the chitosan-only membrane, 0.52 mg L−1, which shows the improvement obtained from the sulphated polysaccharides. The results were obtained with the presence of CTAB in analysis solution, which forms a ternary complex with the aluminum cation and the chromophore. This resulted in an hyperchromic and batochromic shift in the absorption band. When in the presence of this surfactant, the membranes showed lower detection limits and higher selectivity.

Abstract
The properties of biological-chemical chitosan (BCh) films from marine-industrial waste and a non-conventional Ramon starch (RS) (Brosimum alicastrum) were investigated. Blended films of BCh/RS were prepared to a volume ratio of 4:1 and 1:4, named (BChRS-80+q, biological-chemical chitosan 80% v/v and Ramon starch, BChRS-20+q, biological-chemical chitosan 20% v/v and Ramon starch, both with quercetin), Films from commercial chitosan (CCh) and corn starch (CS), alone or blended (CChCS-80+q, commercial chitosan 80% v/v and corn starch, CChCS-20+q commercial chitosan 20% v/v and corn starch, both with quercetin) were also prepared for comparison purposes. Films were investigated for their physicochemical characteristics such as thickness, moisture, swelling, water-vapor permeability, and water solubility. In addition, their mechanical and structural properties were studied using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. Antioxidant activity was evaluated as radical scavenging, and antimicrobial effect was also determined. The BCh and RS films presented similar tensile strength values compared with commercial biopolymers. Only films with chitosan presented antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The FTIR spectra confirmed the interactions between functional groups of the biopolymers. Although, BChRS-80+q and BChRS-20+q films exhibited poor mechanical performance compared to their commercial counterparts, they showed good thermal stability, and improved antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in the presence of quercetin. BChRS-80+q and BChRS-20+q films have promising applications due to their biological activity and mechanical properties, based on a novel material that has been underutilized (Ramon starch) that does not compete with materials for human feeding and may be used as a coating for food products.

Abstract
Active packaging films were prepared by adding red cabbage anthocyanin extract (RCAE) into acetylated distarch phosphate (ADSP). This paper investigated the influence of the interaction relationship between RCAE and the film matrix on the structure, barrier, antioxidant and release properties of active films. Sixteen principal compounds in RCAE were identified as anthocyanins based on mass spectroscopic analysis. Micromorphological observations indicated that the RCAE distribution uniformity in the films decreased as the RCAE content increased. When the concentration of RCAE was not higher than 20%, the moisture absorption and oxygen permeability of films decreased. The stability of RCAE in the films was enhanced by the electrostatic interaction between RCAE and ADSP with the formation of hydrogen bonds, which facilitated the sustainability of the antioxidant properties of films. The release kinetics of RCAE proved that the release rate of RCAE in active films was the fastest in distilled water, and Fickian’s law was appropriate for portraying the release behavior. Moreover, the cytocompatibilty assay showed that the test films were biocompatible with a viability of >95% on HepG2 cells. Thus, this study has established the suitability of the films for applications in active and food packaging.

Abstract
Natural polymer-based films, due to their favorable biological and mechanical properties, have demonstrated great potential as coatings for biomedical applications. Among them, chitosan films have been widely studied both as coating materials and as controlled drug release systems. Crosslinkers are often used to tune chitosan’s crosslinking degree and thus to control the drug release kinetics. For this purpose, quercetin, a plant-derived natural polyphenol, has gained attention as a crosslinker, mainly for its intrinsic anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial features. In this study, chitosan films crosslinked with three different concentrations of quercetin (10, 20, and 30% w/w) have been used as controlled release systems for the delivery of the antibacterial drug trimethoprim (TMP, 10% w/w). Physicochemical and antimicrobial properties were investigated. Surface wettability and composition of the films were assessed by contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The release kinetic of TMP in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (MES) was studied over time. Finally, antibacterial properties were assessed on E. coli and S. aureus through Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion and micro-dilution broth assays. Results show that quercetin, at the tested concentrations, clearly increases the crosslinking degree in a dose-dependent manner, thus influencing the release kinetic of the loaded TMP while maintaining its bactericidal effects. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that quercetin-crosslinked chitosan films represent a promising strategy for the design of antibiotic-releasing coatings for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Advanced carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) based functional films were fabricated by involving some amounts of gliadin/phlorotannin nanoparticles (GPNPs) using a solution casting method. GPNPs were synthesized by an antisolvent precipitation approach, and they presented a spherical morphology with a mean diameter of 145.30 ± 2.06 nm. The effect of GPNPs concentration on the structural, physical, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of CMCS-GPNPs (C-G) functional films was evaluated. It was found that the added GPNPs were homogeneously distributed over the whole CMCS matrix, allowing to reduce the free volume of the nanocomposite matrix and subsequently improve the physical properties of the final film (evidenced by mechanical and water barrier properties). FT-IR spectra indicated the intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interaction, within the matrix of the nanocomposite films were increased. Impressively, the anti-ultraviolet properties, antioxidant activity and antimicrobial behaviors of the as-formed C-G functional films were greatly enhanced compared to the pure CMCS film. All these results suggested that our as-prepared C-G nanocomposite films could be a promising food packaging material.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are a worldwide health problem with growing rates of morbidity, and are characterized by breakdown and dysregulation of the immune system. Although their etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear, the application of dietary supplements is gradually increasing in patients with autoimmune diseases, mainly due to their positive effects, relatively safety, and low cost. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid that is widely present in fruits, herbs, and vegetables. It has been shown to have a wide range of beneficial effects and biological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and neuroprotection. In several recent studies quercetin has reportedly attenuated rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus in humans or animal models. This review summarizes the evidence for the pharmacological application of quercetin for autoimmune diseases, which supports the view that quercetin may be useful for their prevention and treatment.

Abstract
The preparation of biodegradable active packaging materials is still a major challenge. Here, we report the fabrication and characterization of poly(butylene succinate)-based (PBS) films enriched with a natural polyphenolic antioxidant—quercetin. The PBS-based films with various quercetin content (0.05; 0.10; 0.25 and 0.50 pph on PBS) were prepared via a solvent casting method. Physical (optical, mechanical, thermal, moisture and water sorption, water vapor and UV–vis barrier) and biofunctional (antioxidant and antibacterial against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) film properties were tested. The migration of quercetin into model food liquid systems was determined. As a result of quercetin addition, significant changes in color, opacity and UV-blocking effect were observed. The presence of the active substance did not significantly affect the thermal properties of the PBS matrix. However, the mechanical properties of the films were slightly decreased. The films exhibited excellent free radicals (DPPH, ABTS, O2−) scavenging and some bactericidal activities. PBS-quercetin films with superior functional properties have many possibilities for active food packaging applications.

Abstract
The design of multilayer systems is an innovative strategy to improve physical properties of biodegradable polymers and introduce functionality to the materials through the incorporation of an active compound into some of these layers. In this work, a trilayer film based on a sandwich of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers (PCLé) containing quercetin (Q) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) between extruded polylactic acid (PLA) films was designed with the purpose of improving thermal and barrier properties and affording antioxidant activity to packaged foods. PCLé was successfully electrospun onto 70 µm-thick extruded PLA film followed by the assembling of a third 25 µm-thick commercial PLA film through hot pressing. Optical, morphological, thermal, and barrier properties were evaluated in order to study the effect of PCL layer and the addition of Q and CNC. Bilayer systems obtained after the electrospinning process of PCL onto PLA film were also evaluated. The release of quercetin from bi- and trilayer films to food simulants was also analyzed. Results evidenced that thermal treatment during thermo-compression melted PCL polymer and resulted in trilayer systems with barrier properties similar to single PLA film. Quercetin release from bi- and trilayer films followed a similar profile, but achieved highest value through the addition of CNC.

Abstract
Sweet cherry has many cultivars with different storability and nutritional properties. To reveal the reasons for the differences in storability among cultivars and improve the quality of sweet cherries, the surface microstructure of four representative sweet cherry cultivars (Red Light, Ranier, Red Agate, Friendship) epidermis and peduncle at harvest were examined and the effects of carboxymethyl chitosan-gelatin (CMCS-GL) based edible coating incorporating CaCl2 and ascorbic acid (AA) (AA-CaCl2-CMCS-GL) on the quality and nutritional characteristics of sweet cherry were evaluated. Results showed there were significant differences in the wax distribution of the epidermis and the number of stomata on the peduncle surface between four cultivars of sweet cherries at harvest, which was closely related to fruit decay ratio during storage. AA-CaCl2-CMCS-GL coating delayed the onset of decay and the fruit decay ratio in coated groups (3.0%–15.3%) was significantly lower than in control groups (17.7%–63.0%) after 33 d storage. The coating also helped to maintain the quality and nutritional characteristics of four sweet cherry cultivars, including reducing weight loss, maintaining better skin color, peduncle freshness, higher fruit firmness, titratable acidity, AA, total phenolics content, total anthocyanins concentration, and antioxidant capacity. These results suggested that AA-CaCl2-CMCS-GL coating could be considered as a new preservation method for improving postharvest quality and nutritional properties of different sweet cherry cultivars.

Abstract
A series of new films with antibacterial properties has been obtained by means of solvent casting method. Biodegradable materials including polylactide (PLA), quercetin (Q) acting as an antibacterial compound and polyethylene glycol (PEG) acting as a plasticizer have been used in the process. The effect of quercetin as well as the amount of PEG on the structural, thermal, mechanical and antibacterial properties of the obtained materials has been determined. It was found that an addition of quercetin significantly influences thermal stability. It should be stressed that samples containing the studied flavonoid are characterized by a higher Young modulus and elongation at break than materials consisting only of PLA and PEG. Moreover, the introduction of 1% of quercetin grants antibacterial properties to the new materials. Recorded results showed that the amount of plasticizer did not influence the antibacterial properties; it does, however, cause changes in physicochemical properties of the obtained materials. These results prove that quercetin could be used as an antibacterial compound and simultaneously improve mechanical and thermal properties of polylactide-based films.

Abstract
Because of numerous inherent and unique characteristics of phytochemicals as bioactive compounds derived from plants, they have been widely used as one of the most interesting nature-based compounds in a myriad of fields. Moreover, a wide variety of phytochemicals offer a plethora of fascinating optical and electrochemical features that pave the way toward their development as optical and electrochemical (bio)sensors for clinical/health diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food quality control, and bioimaging. In the current review, we highlight how phytochemicals have been tailored and used for a wide variety of optical and electrochemical (bio)sensing and bioimaging applications, after classifying and introducing them according to their chemical structures. Finally, the current challenges and future directions/perspective on the optical and electrochemical (bio)sensing applications of phytochemicals are discussed with the goal of further expanding their potential applications in (bio)sensing technology. Regarding the advantageous features of phytochemicals as highly promising and potential biomaterials, we envisage that many of the existing chemical-based (bio)sensors will be replaced by phytochemical-based ones in the near future.

Abstract
This study used highly lipophilic agents with an aim to increase the oxidant inhibitory activity and enhance photothermal stability of a novel mixed soy lecithin (ML)-based liposome by changing the composition of formulation within the membrane. Specifically, the development and optimization of the liposome intended for improving Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) value and %TEAC loss was carried out by incorporating a natural antioxidant, quercetin (QU). In this context, a focus was set on QU encapsulation in ML-based liposomes and the concentration-dependent solubility of QU was investigated and calculated as encapsulation efficiency (EE). To explore the combined effects of the incorporation of plant sterols on the integrity and entrapment capacity of mixed phospholipid vesicles, conjugation of two types of phytosterols (PSs), namely β-sitosterol (βS) and stigmasterol (ST), to mixed membranes at different ratios was also performed. The EE measurement revealed that QU could be efficiently encapsulated in the stable ML-based liposome using 0.15 and 0.1 g/100 mL of βS and ST, respectively. The aforementioned liposome complex exhibited a considerable TEAC (197.23%) and enhanced TEAC loss (30.81%) when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light (280-320 nm) over a 6 h duration. It appeared that the presence and type of PSs affect the membrane-integration characteristics as well as photodamage transformation of the ML-based liposome. The association of QU with either βS or ST in the formulation was justified by their synergistic effects on the enhancement of the EE of liposomes. Parallel to this, it was demonstrated that synergistic PS effects could be in effect in the maintenance of membrane order of the ML-based liposome. The findings presented in this study provided useful information for the development and production of stable QU-loaded ML-based liposomes for food and nutraceutical applications and could serve as a potential mixed lipids-based delivery system in the disease management using antioxidant therapy.

Abstract
The incorporation of a proper sensing material towards the construction of high selectivity optical sensing devices is vital. Polysaccharides, such as chitosan and carrageenan, are among the bio-based sensing materials that are extensively employed due to their remarkable physicochemical attributes. This paper highlights the critical aspects of the design of suitable polysaccharides for the recognition of specific analytes through physical and chemical modifications of polysaccharide structure. Such modifications lead to the enhancement of physicochemical properties of polysaccharides and optical sensor performance. Chitosan and carrageenan are two materials that possess excellent features which are capable of sensing target analytes via various interactions. The interaction between polysaccharides and analytes is dependent on the availability of functional groups in their structure. The integration of polysaccharides with various optical sensing techniques further improves optical sensor performance. The application of polysaccharides as sensing materials in various optical sensing techniques is also highlighted, particularly for metal ion sensing.

Abstract
The present study assessed the protective effect of chitosan-nanoencapsulated quercetin (Qu-ChiNPs) against oxidative stress caused by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). To this end, the transcription of prime genes regulating hepatic Keap1-Nrf2 pathway as well as downstream antioxidant enzymes were monitored prior to and after oxidative stress by AgNPs. Zebrafish (Danio rerio; n = 225) was assigned into five experimental groups based on feeding with diets supplemented with different additives as follows: negative and positive control groups, without additive; ChiNPs, 400 mg nanochitosan per kg diet; Quercetin, 400 mg free quercetin per kg diet; and Qu-ChiNPs, 400 mg Qu-ChiNPs per kg diet. At the end of the feeding trial (40 days), the experimental groups, except the negative control, were exposed to sublethal concentration of AgNPs (0.15 mg L-1) for 96h. Before exposure to AgNPs, free quercetin-treated diet significantly upregulated Keap1, Nrf2, Cat, SOD, GPx, and GST genes in the liver tissue when compared with the control diet, whereas Qu-Chi.NPs downregulated their transcription to the lowest levels. After exposure to AgNPs, all genes exhibited different responses in the AgNPs-exposed groups. The highest transcription of Nrf2, Cat, SOD, GPx, and GST was observed in the positive group, with being upregulated about 8, 10, 8, 8, and 7 times, respectively, when compared to the respective ones in the negative control. However, Keap1 showed a reverse response with being transcripted 12 times lower. The quercetin treatments, especially Qu-Chi.NPs, significantly reduced the transcription of Nrf2, Cat, SOD, GPx, and GST genes, yet enhanced Keap1 expression. Qu-Chi.NPs reduced the expression of Nrf2, SOD, Cat, GPx, and GST about 11, 10, 15, 10, and 10 times, respectively, yet increased that of Keap1 about 12 times. Taken together, nanoencapsulation can improve the antioxidant efficacy of quercetin against AgNPs toxicity and might reduce involvement of the cellular antioxidant system through tuning redox status. More broadly, it would be interesting to assess the effects of Qu-Chi.NPs against other metallic and organic oxidative stressors or pollutants.

Abstract
Polylactide (PLA)-based polymers, functionalized with biobased antioxidants, were synthesized, to develop an intrinsically active, biobased and potentially biodegradable material for food packaging applications. To achieve this result, phenolic antioxidants were exploited as initiators in the ring opening polymerization of l-lactide. The molecular weight, thermal properties and in vitro radical scavenging activity of the polymers obtained were compared with the ones of a PLA Natureworks 4043D, commonly used for flexible food packaging applications. The most promising synthesized polymer, bearing vanillyl alcohol as initiator (PLA-VA), was evaluated for active food packaging applications. Packaging with PLA-VA films reduced color and fat oxidation of salami during its shelf life.

Abstract
Chitosan is a product of the deacetylation of chitin, which is widely found in nature. Chitosan is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, which seriously limits both its application scope and applicable fields. However, chitosan contains active functional groups that are liable to chemical reactions; thus, chitosan derivatives can be obtained through the chemical modification of chitosan. The modification of chitosan has been an important aspect of chitosan research, showing a better solubility, pH-sensitive targeting, an increased number of delivery systems, etc. This review summarizes the modification of chitosan by acylation, carboxylation, alkylation, and quaternization in order to improve the water solubility, pH sensitivity, and the targeting of chitosan derivatives. The applications of chitosan derivatives in the antibacterial, sustained slowly release, targeting, and delivery system fields are also described. Chitosan derivatives will have a large impact and show potential in biomedicine for the development of drugs in future.
