Pal N, Agarwal M. Development and characterization of eco-friendly guar gum-agar-beeswax-based active packaging film for cheese preservation. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134333. [PMID: 39094873 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134333] [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: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
In this work, an attempt has been made to develop a novel natural polysaccharide-based composite packaging biofilm prepared through a solution casting method. The biofilm is prepared from guar gum (GG) and agar-agar (AA) beeswax (BE). The incorporation of 20 % wt./wt.glycerol BE in the blended polymer GG/AA (50:50) (GG/AA/BE20 (50:50)) film shows a reduction in water solubility (66.67 %), water vapour permeability (69.28 %) and oxygen permeability (72.23 %). Moreover, GG/AA/BE20 (50:50) shows an increment in the tensile strength and elongation of a break by 48.32 % and 26.05 %, respectively, compared to pristine GG film. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image reveals defects-free smooth surfaces of the film. The Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated the strong hydrogen bonding between GG, AA, and BE. The biodegradable film shows 99 % degradation within 28 days when placed in the soil. The developed film plays a crucial role in extending the shelf life of cheese, effectively maintaining its moisture content, texture, colour, and pH over a span of up to two months from the point of packaging. These results suggest that GG/AA/BE20 (50:50) composite film is a promising packaging film for cheese preservation.

Abstract
Nine varieties of purple sweet potato were steamed and used for the production of shrimp freshness indicators. The impact of purple sweet potato's variety on the structure, physical property and halochromic ability of indicators was determined. Results showed different varieties of purple sweet potato had different starch, crude fiber, pectin, protein, fat and total anthocyanin contents. The microstructure, crystallinity, moisture content, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and elongation at break of indicators were affected by crude fiber content in purple sweet potato. The color, transmission and halochromic ability of indicators was associated with the total anthocyanin content in purple sweet potato. Freshness indicators produced from Fuzi No. 1, Ganzi No. 6, Ningzi No. 2, Ningzi No. 4, Qining No. 2 and Qining No. 18 of purple sweet potato were suitable to indicate shrimp freshness. This study provides useful information on screening suitable varieties of purple sweet potato for intelligent packaging.

Abstract
The growing concerns on environmental pollution and sustainability have raised the interest on the development of functional biobased materials for different applications, including food packaging, as an alternative to the fossil resources-based counterparts, currently available in the market. In this work, functional wood inspired biopolymeric nanocomposite films were prepared by solvent casting of suspensions containing commercial beechwood xylans, cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and lignosulfonates (magnesium or sodium), in a proportion of 2:5:3 wt%, respectively. All films presented good homogeneity, translucency, and thermal stability up to 153 °C. The incorporation of CNF into the xylan/lignosulfonates matrix provided good mechanical properties to the films (Young's modulus between 1.08 and 3.79 GPa and tensile strength between 12.75 and 14.02 MPa). The presence of lignosulfonates imparted the films with antioxidant capacity (DPPH radical scavenging activity from 71.6 to 82.4 %) and UV barrier properties (transmittance ≤19.1 % (200-400 nm)). Moreover, the films obtained are able to successfully delay the browning of packaged fruit stored over 7 days at 4 °C. Overall, the obtained results show the potential of using low-cost and eco-friendly resources for the development of sustainable active food packaging materials.

Abstract
The development of bio-friendly materials to replace single-use plastics is urgently needed. In this regard, cellulosic material from plants is a promising alternative. However, due to the risk of forest depletion, agricultural biomass stands out as a favorable choice. Toward this end, switchgrass, an underutilized grass, presents itself as a viable source of lignocellulose that can be turned into a bio-friendly material. Herein, lignocellulosic residue from switchgrass has been extracted using two different concentrations of NaOH (20% and 50% w/v), solubilized in aqueous ZnCl2 solution, and crosslinked with CaCl2 (200, 300, 400, and 500 mM) to prepare biodegradable films. The color, thickness and moisture, water solubility, water absorption, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and elongation, biodegradation, UV transmittance, and antioxidant activity of films have been studied. The films possess a high tensile strength of 14.7 MPa and elongation of 4.7%. They block UVB-radiation and hold antioxidant properties. They display good water vapor permeability of 1.410-1.6 × 10-11 gm-1s-1Pa-1 and lose over 80% of their weight at 30% soil moisture within 40 days. An increase in the CaCl2 amount decreased the water vapor permeability, elongation, UV transmittance, and biodegradation but increased the transparency, tensile strength and antioxidant property. Overall, films of alkali-digested lignocellulosic residue of switchgrass showed excellent potential to be used against lightweight plastics and support the circular economy.

Abstract
Ultrasonic extraction of Osmanthus fragrans was used for reducing Ag+ to prepare AgNPs, which were further loaded on barley distiller's grains shell biochar. By supplementary of sodium alginate and tannic acid, composite gel beads were prepared. The physical properties of biochar-based AgNPs‑sodium alginate-tannic acid composite gel beads (C-Ag/SA/TA) were characterized. SEM, FTIR, and XRD showed that biochar-based AgNPs were compatible with sodium alginate-tannic acid. CAg greatly improved the dissolution, swelling, and expansion of gel beads. Through the analysis by the agar diffusion method, C-Ag/SA/TA gel beads had high antibacterial activity (inhibition zone: 22 mm against Escherichia coli and 20 mm against Staphylococcus aureus). It was observed that C-Ag/SA/TA composite gel beads had high antioxidant capacity and the free radical scavenging rate reached 89.0 %. The dye adsorption performance of gel beads was studied by establishing a kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacities of C-Ag/SA/TA gel beads for methylene blue and Congo red were 166.57 and 318.06 mg/g, respectively. The removal rate of Cr(VI) reached 96.4 %. These results indicated that the prepared composite gel beads had a high adsorption capacity for dyes and metal ions. Overall, C-Ag/SA/TA composite gel beads were biocompatible and had potential applications in environmental pollution treatment.

Abstract
Plastics are hazardous to human health, and plastic waste results in environmental pollution and ecological catastrophe. Biobased polymers from renewable sources have recently become promising for developing biodegradable packaging films. Among them, lignocellulosic residue from agricultural biomass is inexpensive, renewable, and biodegradable. This study aims to develop biodegradable films using lignocellulosic residue from wheat straw biomass. The methodology is a green process that solubilizes lignocellulosic chains using Zn2+ ions and crosslinks with Ca2+ ions of different concentrations (200-800 mM). The results reveal that the increase of Ca2+ ions significantly decreases moisture content, water solubility, water vapor permeability, transparency, and elongation of films. The tensile strength is recorded as 6.61 ± 0.07 MPa with the addition of 800 mM of CaCl2, which is approximately 2.5 times higher than commercial polyethylene films. Around 90 % of films biodegrade within a month in soil containing 20 % moisture content. Overall, lignocellulosic residue from wheat straw biomass could be an excellent replacement for synthetic polymer to fabricate strong, transparent, and biodegradable plastic films.

Abstract
In this study, antioxidant, and antimicrobial starch-based biocomposite films reinforced with coffee husks (S/CH) were developed by incorporating either limonene (LM) (S/CH/LM) or its oligomer derivative, poly(limonene) (PLM) (S/CH/PLM), at different concentrations (5-10 % w/w of starch). Through a comprehensive assessment of film properties, morphology, and structure, a comparative analysis between the two additives was proposed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed some defects throughout the polymer matrix after additive incorporation. The tensile strength (TS) and modulus of elasticity (ME) showed a decrease upon the inclusion of both LM and PLM, while the elongation at break (E) increased. Notably, PLM exhibited outstanding antioxidant capacity, enhancing the films by 108 % over control samples. Additionally, at just 5 % concentration, PLM effectively inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli ATCC 11775 (35.33 ± 2.52 mm) and demonstrated an impressive UV-Vis barrier, comparable to the highest amount of LM incorporated. Therefore, this research highlights the potential of coffee husk-reinforced starch biocomposites with limonene-derived additives as a promising solution for food packaging applications. The comparative analysis sheds light on the advantages of using the PLM in terms of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, contributing to the advancement of active packaging technologies.

Abstract
The study explores the synergy of biobased polymers and hydrogels for water purification. Polymer nanomaterial's, synthesized by combining acrylamide copolymer with maleic anhydride, were integrated into sodium alginate biopolymer using an eco-friendly approach. Crosslinking agents, calcium chloride and glutaraladehyde, facilitated seamless integration, ensuring non-toxicity, high adsorption performance, and controlled capacity. This innovative combination presents a promising solution for clean and healthy water supplies, addressing the critical need for sustainable environmental practices in water purification. In addition, the polymer sodium alginate hydrogel (MAH@AA-P/SA/H) underwent characterization via the use of several analytical procedures, such as FTIR, XPS, SEM, EDX and XRD. Adsorption studies were conducted on metals and dyes in water, and pollutant removal methods were explored. We investigated several variables (such as pH, starting concentration, duration, and absorbent quantity) affect a material's capacity to be adsorbed. Moreover, the maximum adsorption towards Cu2+ is 754 mg/g while for Cr6+ metal ions are 738 mg/g, while the adsorption towards Congo Red and Methylene Blue dye are 685 mg/g and 653 mg/g correspondingly, within 240 min. Adsorption results were further analyzed using kinetic and isothermal models, which showed that MAH@AA-P/SA/H adsorption is governed by a chemisorption process. Hence, the polymer prepared from sodium alginate hydrogel (MAH@AA-P/SA/H) has remarkable properties as a versatile material for the significantly elimination of harmful contaminants from dirty water.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Natural and synthetic biocompatible polymers have received significant attention in the pharmaceutical industry due to their rapid and effective healing properties in the wound healing process. The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction of onions, the preparation of sodium alginate/collagen/hydrogen boron nitride (NaAlg/Col/h-BN) membranes using the Box-Behnken experimental design, and determine the optimal conditions for quercetin release. The study also aimed to investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the prepared membranes and their therapeutic properties. METHODS AND RESULTS The prepared membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Antimicrobial activities were tested against Gram-negative (Gr-) Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterobacter aerogenes, Gram-positive (Gr+) Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 pathogens. In vitro release studies were conducted to examine the therapeutic properties of the prepared membranes. The optimum conditions for the extraction of onions and the preparation of NaAlg/Col/h-BN membranes were found to be EtOH = 75 mL, t = 2 h, T = 45°C, and NaAlg = 1.0 g, Col = 2.0 g, and h-BN = 6% wt, respectively. The prepared membranes exhibited serious antimicrobial properties against S. aureus and C. albicans. The membranes also promoted the controlled release of quercetin for 24 h in vitro, indicating their potential as a new approach in wound treatment. CONCLUSION The study concludes that quercetin-filled NaAlg/Col/h-BN membranes have promising therapeutic properties for wound healing. The membranes exhibited significant antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and their controlled release of quercetin suggests their potential for use in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Plastics are strong, flexible, and inexpensive and hence desirable for packaging. However, as they biodegrade very slowly, their waste remains a global burden and pollution, warranting a search for safer alternatives. Towards this end, residual fibers from biowaste, such as spent coffee grounds (SCGs), stand out for creating biodegradable packaging materials. Herein, lignocellulosic fibers from SCG were extracted, and various amounts (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 g) were solubilized using 68 % ZnCl2 and crosslinked with salt (CaCl2) amounts 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 g and prepared biodegradable films. The films were characterized for their color, thickness, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation at break, water vapor permeability, transmittance of electromagnetic radiation, biodegradability, and antioxidant properties. The results reveal that the films possess the highest tensile strength of 26.8 MPa. The tensile strengths are positively correlated to salt and SCG extract amounts. The percentage of elongation decreased with an increase in the calcium ions but increased with SCG residue increment. The films biodegraded in the soil, and most lost >80 % of their initial weight in 45 and 100 days, respectively, at 30 % and 12 % soil moisture. Biodegradability and water vapor permeability decreased with an increase in salt content. Films also showed antioxidant properties and blocked UV and IR radiation significantly. Overall, this research involving green and recyclable chemicals in preparation of SCG residue fibers is a promising, economical, and sustainable route to produce strong biodegradable films to replace petrochemical plastics and thus is an attractive contribution to the circular bioeconomy.

Carbohydr Polym 2023; 302:120379.

Abstract
The occurrence of persistent organic pollutants in aquatic bodies, namely polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has been increasingly detected. The presence of such contaminants represents a serious threat to human health due to their toxicity. Therefore, aiming to provide a novel and efficient alternative for PAHs' removal from water, the present study assesses the effect of oligo(β-pinene) blended with chitosan for the adsorption of these pollutants. Oligo(β-pinene) with phenyl end-groups was synthesized by organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (O-ATRP) and incorporated in different concentrations (6, 12, and 18 %) to chitosan films. The oligo(β-pinene) loading in the chitosan matrix impressively improved this polysaccharide adsorption capacity. The formulation containing 12 % of oligomer demonstrated a contaminant removal performance three times higher (298.82 %) than pure chitosan during only 1 h of the decontamination process. Adsorption isotherms showed an improved uptake of PAHs with the increase of the contaminants' concentration in the aqueous media due to the formation of a higher concentration gradient. Additionally, a comprehensive characterization of oligo(β-pinene)/chitosan formulation was performed to provide a better understanding of the interactions between the components of the blends. Overall, it was concluded that oligo(β-pinene)/chitosan blends can be used as a high-performance and sustainable alternative for PAHs removal.

Abstract
Abstract
Alginate extracted from the marine brown algae is a massively utilized biopolymer in multiple fields such as microreactors for the fabrication of metal nanoparticles along with other polymeric and nonpolymeric materials to enhance their mechanical strength. These sodium alginate (Na-Alg)-based fabricated nanocomposites find applications in the field of catalysis and biological treatment as antibacterial/antifungal agent due to the synergistic properties of Na-Alg and fabricated metal nanoparticles (NPs). Na-Alg offers mechanical strength and nanoparticles provide high reactivity due to their small size. Sodium alginate exhibits hydroxyl and carboxylate functional groups that can easily interact with the metal nanoparticles to form composite particles. The research on the preparation of Na-Alg–based nanoparticles and nanoaggregates have been started recently but developed quickly due to their extensive applications in different fields. This review article encircles different methods of preparation of sodium alginate–based metal nanocomposites; analytical techniques reported to monitor the formation of these nanocomposites and used to characterize these nanocomposites as well as applications of these nanocomposites as catalyst, antibacterial, and antifungal agent.

Abstract
Currently, biodegradable and functional food packaging materials have attracted more and more attention due to their potential advantages. Biopolymers are one of the promising materials used to produce biodegradable food packaging films, and sodium alginate (SA) is one of the most used polysaccharides. In this work, we explored a novel edible sodium alginate (SA)/tannic acid (TA) film as biodegradable active food packaging material. The impact of TA concentration on the UV light blocking ability, transparency, water vapor barrier ability, mechanical strength, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity of the SA-TA films was comprehensively investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results revealed that strong hydrogen bonding was the main intermolecular interaction between SA and TA. As TA concentration in the films increased, the water vapor permeability (WVP) decreased from 1.24 × 10-6 to 0.54 × 10-6 g/m/h/Pa, the DPPH radical scavenging activity increased from 0.008% to 89.02%. Moreover, the incorporation of TA effectively blocked UV light and elevated antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli. Overall, the SA films with TA exhibited better water vapor barrier ability, remarkable UV-light barrier ability and antioxidant activity while showing a slight decrease in light transmittance. These results indicated the potential application of TA as a functional additive agent for developing multifunctional food packaging materials.

Biopolymer-Based Films from Sodium Alginate and Citrus Pectin Reinforced with SiO2. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15113881.

Abstract
Blend films based on sodium alginate (SA) and citrus pectin (P) reinforced with different concentrations of SiO2 (0–10% w/w) were developed in this study. From the morphological (SEM) and structural (FT-IR) evaluation, it was verified that the incorporation of the reinforcing agent did not drastically modify the microstructure of the films, nor did new chemical bonds form. However, the XRD results suggested a slight reduction in the crystallinities of the blends by the incorporation of SiO2. Among the formulations prepared, the addition of a 5% reinforcing agent was responsible for the simultaneous improvement of mechanical and barrier properties. Comparing the control sample (SA/P) with the SA/P/5.0%SiO2 film, the tensile strength increased from 27.7 ± 3.7 to 40.6 ± 4.5 MPa, and the water-vapor transmission rate decreased from 319.8 ± 38.7 to 288.9 ± 23.5 g m−2 day−1. Therefore, SiO2, as a reinforcing agent in SA/P blends, represents a simple and effective strategy for improving the properties of biopolymer-based films in applications, such as packaging.

Abstract
Biopolymer-based films have become leading alternatives to traditional fossil-based packaging plastics. Among the countless types of biopolymers with potential for such applications, films containing hydrolyzed collagen in their composition were scarcely explored. This study determined the effect of different loads of nano-SiO2 (0, 2, 6, 8 and 10% w/w of sodium alginate) in the sodium alginate (SA) and hydrolyzed collagen (HC) blend films in terms of structure, thickness, mechanical properties, and thermal stability. The results indicated an improvement in the general mechanical and thermal behavior. Tensile strength increased from 18.2 MPa (control sample) to 25.4 MPa for the SA/HC film incorporated with 10% nano-SiO2. In the same condition, the film's elongation at break improved impressively (from 19.5 to 35.8%). Thermal stability improved slightly for all proportions of nano-SiO2. Therefore, the addition of nano-SiO2 can be an easy and simple strategy to improve crucial properties of SA/HC blend films, increasing its performance for future application as sustainable packaging.

Abstract
This study presents a designed alginate-based polymeric composite foam material containing decellularized elastic cartilage microscaffolds from porcine elastic cartilage by using supercritical fluid and papain treatment for medical scaffold biomaterials. The microstructure and thermal property of the designed alginate-based polymeric composite foam materials with various controlled ratios of alginate molecules and decellularized elastic cartilage microscaffolds were studied and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG). The microstructure and thermal property of the composite foam materials were affected by the introduction of decellularized elastic cartilage microscaffolds. The designed alginate-based polymeric composite foam materials containing decellularized elastic cartilage microscaffolds were ionically cross-linked with calcium ions by soaking the polymeric composite foam materials in a solution of calcium chloride. Additional calcium ions further improved the microstructure and thermal stability of the resulting ionic cross-linked alginate-based polymeric composite foam materials. Furthermore, the effect of crosslinking functionality on microstructures and thermal properties of the resulting polymeric composite foam materials were studied to build up useful information for 3D substrates for cultivating and growing cartilage cells and/or cartilage tissue engineering.
