[PMID: 39270899 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135583] [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: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 09/10/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
The main goal of emerging food-packaging technologies is to address environmental issues and minimize their impact, while also guaranteeing food quality and safety for consumers. Bio-based polymers have drawn significant interest as a means to reduce the usage and environmental impact of petroleum-derived polymeric products. Therefore, this current review highlights on the biopolymer blends, various biodegradable bio-nanocomposites materials, and their synthesis and characterization techniques recently used in the smart food packaging industry. In addition, some insights on potential challenges as well as possibilities in future smart food packaging applications are thoroughly explored. Nanocomposite packaging materials derived from biopolymers have the highest potential for use in improved smart food packaging that possesses bio-functional properties. Nanomaterials are utilized for improving the thermal, mechanical, and gas barrier attributes of bio-based polymers while maintaining their biodegradable and non-toxic qualities. The packaging films that were developed exhibited enhanced barrier qualities against carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapour. Additionally, they demonstrated better mechanical strength, thermal stability, and antibacterial activity. More research is needed to develop and use smart food packaging materials based on bio-nanocomposites on a worldwide scale, while removing plastic packaging.

Commercialization potential of agro-based polyhydroxyalkanoates biorefinery: A technical perspective on advances and critical barriers. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 234:123733. [PMID: 36801274 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123733] [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: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
The exponential increase in the use and careless discard of synthetic plastics has created an alarming concern over the environmental health due to the detrimental effects of petroleum based synthetic polymeric compounds. Piling up of these plastic commodities on various ecological niches and entry of their fragmented parts into soil and water has clearly affected the quality of these ecosystems in the past few decades. Among the many constructive strategies developed to tackle this global issue, use of biopolymers like polyhydroxyalkanoates as sustainable alternatives for synthetic plastics has gained momentum. Despite their excellent material properties and significant biodegradability, polyhydroxyalkanoates still fails to compete with their synthetic counterparts majorly due to the high cost associated with their production and purification thereby limiting their commercialization. Usage of renewable feedstocks as substrates for polyhydroxyalkanoates production has been the thrust area of research to attain the sustainability tag. This review work attempts to provide insights about the recent developments in the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates using renewable feedstock along with various pretreatment methods used for substrate preparation for polyhydroxyalkanoates production. Further, the application of blends based on polyhydroxyalkanoates, and the challenges associated with the waste valorization based polyhydroxyalkanoates production strategy is elaborated in this review work.

Abstract
Anti-cancer medications that are delivered specifically to the tumor site possess greater efficacy with less negative effects on the body. So, the current research relies on a novel method for intercalating the anticancer medication methotrexate in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/chitosan-graft poly (acrylic acid) conjugated with sodium hyaluronate. The graft copolymers were synthesized through persulfate-initiated grafting of acrylic acid onto a binary mixture of various amounts of chitosan and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (2/1, 1/1 and 1/2, w/w) using microwave irradiation. The graft copolymer was conjugated with sodium hyaluronate for targeted delivery of methotrexate drug specifically to colon cancer cell lines (Caco-2). The graft copolymers were characterized by many physical techniques. The maximum drug loading efficiency was observed in case of the graft copolymer/hyaluronate rich in chitosan content 69.7 ± 2.7 % (4.65 mg/g) with a sustained release about 98.6 ± 1.12 %, at pH 7.4. The findings of severe cytotoxicity having a value of the IC50 of 11.7 μg/ml, a substantial proportion of apoptotic cells (67.88 %), and an elevated level of DNA breakage inside the treated Caco-2 cells verified the effective release of methotrexate from the loaded copolymer matrix. Besides, the high stability and biological activity of the released drug was exhibited through occurrence of greater increment of reactive oxygen species and effect on the extent of expression of genes connected to apoptosis and anti-oxidant enzymes within the treated cells. Ultimately, this system can be recommended as potent carrier for methotrexate administration to targeted cancerous cells in the colon.

Abstract
Environmental pollution by synthetic polymers is a global problem and investigating substitutes for synthetic polymers is a major research area. Starch can be used in formulating bioplastic materials, mainly as blends or composites with other polymers. The major drawbacks of using starch in such applications are water sensitivity and poor mechanical properties. Attempts have been made to improve the mechanical properties of starch-based blends and composites, by e.g., starch modification or plasticization, matrix reinforcement, and polymer blending. Polymer blending can bring synergetic benefits to blends and composites, but necessary precautions must be taken to ensure the compatibility of hydrophobic polymers and hydrophilic starch. Genetic engineering offers new possibilities to modify starch inplanta in a manner favorable for bioplastics applications, while the incorporation of antibacterial and/or antioxidant agents into starch-based food packaging materials brings additional advantages. In conclusion, starch is a promising material for bioplastic production, with great potential for further improvements. This review summarizes the recent advances in starch-based blends and composites and highlights the potential strategies for overcoming the major drawbacks of using starch in bioplastics applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are linear semicrystalline polyesters produced naturally by a wide range of microorganisms for carbon and energy storage. PHAs can be used as replacements for petroleum-based polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) in many industrial applications due to their biodegradability, excellent barrier, mechanical, and thermal properties. The overall industrial applications of PHAs are still very limited due to the high production cost and high stiffness and brittleness. Therefore, new novel cost-effective production method must be considered for the new generation of PHAs. One approach is based on using different type feedstocks and biowastes including food byproducts and industrial and manufacturing wastes, can lead to more competitive and cost-effective PHAs products. Modification of PHAs with different function groups such as carboxylic, hydroxyl, amine, epoxy, etc. is also a relatively new approach to create new functional materials with different industrial applications. In addition, blending PHA with biodegradable materials such as polylactide (PLA), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), starch, and distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is another approach to address the drawbacks of PHAs and will be summarized in this chapter. A series of compatibilizers with different architectures were successfully synthesized and used to improve the compatibility and interfacial adhesion between PHAs and PCL. Finer morphology and significantly improvement in the mechanical properties of PHA/PCL blends were observed with a certain type of block compatibilizer. In addition, the improvement in the blend morphology and mechanical properties were found to be strongly influenced by the compatibilizer architecture.

Recent trends in the application of modified starch in the adsorption of heavy metals from water: A review. Carbohydr Polym 2021; 269:117763.

Abstract
The presence of polyfunctional ligands on the bio-macromolecules acts as an efficient adsorbent for heavy metal ions. Starch is one of the most abundant, easily available and cheap biopolymer of plant origin. However, native starch exhibits significantly low adsorption capacity due to the absence of some essential functional groups like carboxyl, amino or ester groups and is thus modified using various reaction routes like grafting, cross-linking, esterification, oxidation and irradiation for addition of functional groups to increase its adsorption capacity. The present review provides a comprehensive discussion on the above mentioned modification schemes of starch over the last 10-15 years highlighting their preparation methods, physico-chemical characteristics along with their adsorption capacities and mechanisms of heavy metal ions from water.

Abstract
Super-tough poly (l-lactide) (PLLA) without compromising its biodegradability and biocompatibility was fabricated by reactive blending with PLLA and maleic anhydride grafted starch (MS)/poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA). PEGDA as reactive compatibilizer exhibits higher compatibilization efficiency and significant plasticization effect in PLLA matrix. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed that PEGDA monomer successfully located at the molecules of MS and some interesterification reactions occurred between PEGDA and PLLA. The ductility of PLLA materials were significantly improved, for example, the elongation of break increased to 298% at the optimum PLLA/MS/PEGDA content. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) demonstrated the glass transition temperature of blends decreased with the contents of MS/PEGDA increasing. The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) results revealed that cold crystallization temperature and melting temperature of blends were decreased with the augment of the contents of MS/PEGDA. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WARD) and DSC certified that a high crystalline article was obtained through practical extrusion process, which could propagate shear yielding deformation to dissipate energy during tensile fracture. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) demonstrated that the blends with PEGDA did not exhibit a visible phase-separated morphology from cryogenic fractured surfaces compared with the blend without PEGDA.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to use wheat flour (WF) and hydroxymethyl melamine prepolymer (HMP) to develop a low cost, highly water-resistant, starch-based bio-adhesive for plywood fabrication. Three-layer plywood was fabricated using the resultant adhesive, and the wet shear strength of the plywood samples was measured under various conditions. After determining that water resistance was significantly improved with the addition of HMP, we evaluated the physical characteristics of the starch-based adhesive and functional groups and analyzed the thermal stability and fracture surface of the cured adhesive samples. Results showed that by adding 20 wt.% HMP into WF adhesive, the sedimentation volume in the resultant adhesive decreased by 11.3%, indicating that the increase of crosslinking in the structure of the adhesives increased the bond strength, and the wet shear strength of the resultant plywood in 63 °C water improved by 375% when compared with the WF adhesive. After increasing the addition of HMP to 40 wt.%, the wet shear strength of the resultant plywood in 100 °C water changed from 0 MPa to 0.71 MPa, which meets the exterior use plywood requirement. This water resistance and bond strength improvement resulted from (1) HMP reacting with functions in WF and forming a crosslinking structure to prevent moisture intrusion; and (2) HMP self-crosslinking and combining with crosslinked WF to form a microphase separation crosslinking structure, which improved both the crosslinking density and the toughness of the adhesive, and subsequently, the adhesive's bond performance. In addition, the microphase separation crosslinking structure had better thermostability and created a compact ductile fracture surface, which further improved the bond performance of the adhesive. Thus, using a prepolymer to form a microphase separation crosslinking structure within the adhesive improves the rigidity, toughness, and water resistance of the material in a practical and cost-effective manner.

Abstract
Injectable scaffolds find many applications on the biomedical field due to several advantages on preformed scaffolds such as being able to fill any defect can be used in minimal invasion surgeries and are ready to use products. The most critical parameter for an injectable scaffold usage is its injectability, which can be related with rheological properties. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to increase knowledge about the critical parameters influencing injectability of biopolymers used for injectable scaffolds. Rheological and mechanical properties of a biopolymer blend in combination with injectability tests for a given design space controlled by the concentrations of both polymers and temperatures was made. Then those results were modeled to better understand the impact of parameters on injectability. The biopolymer blend chosen was Chitosan physically blended with Poly(ethylene glycol) where variations of both polymer concentrations and molecular weights were tested. Rheological and mechanical properties of all samples were determined, together with the injection force using a compression test at different injection conditions. All solutions were clear and transparent suggesting perfect miscibility. Rheological results were modeled using Ostwald-Waelle law and revealed a shear thinning pseudo-plastic solution at any composition and temperature, being chitosan concentration the most influencing variable. Compression tests results revealed mean injection forces ranging from 9.9 ± 0.06N to 29.9 ± 0.65N and it was possible to accurately estimate those results. Simulations revealed draw speed as the most influencing parameter. Cell viability tests revealed a non-cytotoxic biopolymer blend.
