The improvement of water barrier property in gelatin/carboxymethyl cellulose composite film by electrostatic interaction regulation and its application in strawberry preservation. Food Chem 2024; 450:139352. [PMID: 38640532 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Gelatin (GL) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) are common natural components for edible films, but their water barrier performance are finite as hydrophilic polymers. In this study, a GL/CMC water barrier film was prepared, characterized and applied. The microstructure results showed that complex coacervation at pH 2.0 and cross-linking effect of sodium benzoate resulted in strong interaction forces and dense structure of this film. Compared with pure GL or CMC film, this novel composite film decreased water vapor permeability by approximately 90%, and possessed applicable water solubility (51.5%) and stronger barrier to oxygen and UV light. Acidic environment and sodium benzoate endowed antibacterial activity. Furthermore, the water barrier coating film decreased water loss by 47.8% and improved overall quality of fresh strawberries stored at 25 °C for 6 d. Therefore, the novel water barrier film based on complex coacervation and cross-linking is promising to control the postharvest quality of perishable berries.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2024; 25:2351356.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic materials have inherent complexities and natural nanoarchitectures, such as various chemical constituents in wood cell walls, structural factors such as fillers, surface properties, and variations in production. Recently, the development of lignocellulosic filler-reinforced polymer composites has attracted increasing attention due to their potential in various industries, which are recognized for environmental sustainability and impressive mechanical properties. The growing demand for these composites comes with increased complexity regarding their specifications. Conventional trial-and-error methods to achieve desired properties are time-intensive and costly, posing challenges to efficient production. Addressing these issues, our research employs a data-driven approach to streamline the development of lignocellulosic composites. In this study, we developed a machine learning (ML)-assisted prediction model for the impact energy of the lignocellulosic filler-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites. Firstly, we focused on the influence of natural supramolecular structures in biomass fillers, where the Fourier transform infrared spectra and the specific surface area are used, on the mechanical properties of the PP composites. Subsequently, the effectiveness of the ML model was verified by selecting and preparing promising composites. This model demonstrated sufficient accuracy for predicting the impact energy of the PP composites. In essence, this approach streamlines selecting wood species, saving valuable time.

Abstract
To enhance PLA gas barrier properties, multilayer designs with highly polar barrier layers, such as nanocelluloses, have shown promising results. However, the properties of these polar layers change with humidity. As a result, we investigated water transport phenomena in PLA films coated with nanometric layers of chitosan and nanocelluloses, utilizing a combination of techniques including dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) and long-term water vapor adsorption-diffusion experiments (back-face measurements) to understand the influence of each layer on the behavior of multilayer films. Surprisingly, nanometric coatings impacted PLA water vapor transport. Chitosan/nanocelluloses layers, representing less than 1 wt.% of the multilayer film, increased the water vapor uptake of the film by 14.6%. The nanometric chitosan coating appeared to have localized effects on PLA structure. Moreover, nanocelluloses coatings displayed varying impacts on sample properties depending on their interactions (hydrogen, ionic bonds) with chitosan. The negatively charged CNF TEMPO coating formed a dense network that demonstrated higher resistance to water sorption and diffusion compared to CNF and CNC coatings. This work also highlights the limitations of conventional water vapor permeability measurements, especially when dealing with materials containing ultrathin nanocelluloses layers. It shows the necessity of considering the synergistic effects between layers to accurately evaluate the transport properties.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses are promising high gas barrier materials for biobased food packaging, but they must be protected from water to preserve high performance. The respective O2 barrier properties of different types of nanocelluloses were compared (nanofibers (CNF), oxidized nanofibers (CNF TEMPO) and nanocrystals (CNC)). The oxygen barrier performance for all types of nanocelluloses was similarly high. To protect the nanocellulose films from water, a multilayer material architecture was used with poly(lactide) (PLA) on the outside. To achieve this, a biobased tie layer was developed, using Corona treatment and chitosan. This allowed thin film coating with nanocellulose layers between 60 and 440 nm thickness. AFM images treated with Fast Fourier Transform showed the formation of locally-oriented CNC layers on the film. Coated PLA(CNC) films performed better (3.2 × 10-20 m3.m/m2.s.Pa) than PLA(CNF) and PLA(CNF TEMPO) (1.1 × 10-19 at best), because thicker layers could be obtained. The oxygen barrier properties were constant during successive measurements at 0 % RH, 80 % RH and again at 0 % RH. This shows that PLA is sufficiently shielding nanocelluloses from water uptake to keep high performance in an extended range of RH and opens the way to high oxygen barrier films which are biobased and biodegradable.

Abstract
Significant concerns have been raised regarding to the pollution of antibiotics in recent years due to the abuse of antibiotics and their high detection rate in water. Herein, a novel super adsorbent, boronic acid-modified bacterial cellulose microspheres with a size of 415 μm in diameter was prepared through a facile water-in-oil emulsion method. The adsorbent was characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses to confirm its properties. The microspheres were applied as packing materials for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) from an aqueous solution and hoggery sewer via the reversible covalent interaction between cis-diol groups in TC molecules and the boronic acid ligand. TC adsorption performance had been systemically investigated under various conditions, including the pH, temperature, TC concentration, contact time, and ionic strength. Results showed that the adsorption met pseudo-second-order, Elovich kinetic model and Sips, Redlich-Peterson isothermal models. And the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic, with the maximum TC adsorption capacity of 614.2 mg/g. After 18 adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity remained as high as 84.5% compared with their original adsorption capacity. Compared with other reported adsorption materials, the microspheres had high adsorption capacity, a simple preparation process, and excellent recovery performance, demonstrating great potential in application on TC removal for water purification and providing new insights into the antibiotic's adsorption behavior of bacterial cellulose-based microspheres.

Abstract
The non-toxic and completely biodegradable cellulose within bamboo is one of the most abundant agricultural polysaccharide wastes worldwide, and can be processed into cellulose nanofibres (CNFs). Iron(III)-loaded CNFs (Fe(III)@CNFs) derived from bamboo were prepared to improve the adsorption of tetracycline (TC), chlortetracycline (CTC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) from an aqueous solution. The preparation conditions of Fe(III)@CNFs suitable for the simultaneous adsorption of three tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) were investigated. Various analyses proved the abundance of oxygen-containing functional groups and the existence of Fe(III) active metal sites in Fe(III)@CNFs. In batch experiments, Fe(III)@CNFs were applied under a wide pH range and the maximum adsorption capacities were 294.12, 232.56 and 500.00 mg g-1 (for TC, CTC and OTC, respectively). In addition, different concentrations and types of coexisting anions have a weak effect on TCs adsorption. The original TCs adsorption capacities of Fe(III)@CNFs remained stable (greater than 92%) after five cycles when UV + H2O2 was used as the regeneration method. Four adsorption mechanisms (surface complexation, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction and van der Waals force) were obtained for the endothermic adsorption of TCs, among which surface complexation between Fe(III) and TCs always dominates. The practically applicable Fe(III)@CNFs adsorbents are promising for TCs enrichment and remediation in engineering applications.

Abstract
The food industry is increasingly demanding advanced and eco-friendly sustainable packaging materials with improved physical, mechanical and barrier properties. The currently used materials are synthetic and non-degradable, therefore raising environmental concerns. Consequently, research efforts have been made in recent years towards the development of bio-based sustainable packaging materials. In this review, the potential of nanocelluloses as nanofillers or as coatings for the development of bio-based nanocomposites is discussed, namely: (i) the physico-chemical interaction of nanocellulose with the adjacent polymeric phase, (ii) the effect of nanocellulose modification/functionalization on the final properties of the composites, (iii) the production methods for such composites, and (iv) the effect of nanocellulose on the overall migration, toxicity, and the potential risk to human health. Lastly, the technology readiness level of nanocellulose and nanocellulose based composites for the market of food packaging is discussed.

Abstract
In the current context, the development of bio-based and high-performance materials is one of the main research priorities. This study aims to combine the outstanding properties of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) or nanocrystals (CNCs) with those of bio-based poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Three-phase multilayered materials (TMLs) were built up by complexing a dry CNF- or CNC-based film with two PLA sheets, using a heat-pressing process. Before the preparation of the nanocellulosic films, CNFs and CNCs were modified by the adsorption of a rosin-based nanoemulsion. The rosin mixture as a natural compound is of interest because of its low cost, renewability, hydrophobicity, and its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. After demonstrating the efficiency of the complexing procedure, we investigated the barrier properties of the multilayered materials against both oxygen and water vapor, with highly encouraging results. In fact, the presence of nanocellulose as an inner layer between the two PLA films significantly enhanced the oxygen barrier, with a decrease in oxygen permeability comprised between 84 and 96% and between 44 and 50% for neat nanocelluloses and nanocelluloses with rosins as the inner layer, respectively. On the other hand, the antioxidant properties of the final multilayered materials including rosins were highlighted, with a highly encouraging radical scavenging activity close to 20%. Because of the simplicity and the efficiency of the proposed method, this study paves the way toward the development of hybrid multimaterials that could be highly attractive for food packaging applications.

Abstract
In this work, both cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were reinforced into poly-lactic acid (PLA) to enhance the stiffness, strength and thermal stability of the pure polymer i.e. PLA. To enhance the uniform dispersion of CNC (which is a major concern with PLA) and rGO in the hydrophobic polymer matrix, CNC's surface was first modified using TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical) oxidation method followed by surface grafting of TEMPO-oxidized CNC (TOCNC) performed with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The PEG-grafting on crystalline region of cellulose nanofibrils was achieved through ionic bonds by applying ion-exchange method (simple and easy method). The obtained PEG-grafted-TOCNC indicated uniform dispersion at the nanoelement level in non-polar (organic) compound i.e. chloroform. Further, the PEG-grafted-TOCNC/chloroform with different blend ratios, PLA/chloroform and rGO/chloroform solution were mixed together and solvent casted onto a petri-dish to obtain PLA/PEG-TOCNC/rGO nanocomposite film. The tensile strength and thermal stability were remarkably improved for the film containing highest wt% of modified CNC. In addition to this, the film showed reduced water vapor barrier properties and antioxidant activity which enables it to be used as a packaging films. Moreover, the film displayed negligible toxicity and cytocompatibility to fibroblast cells C3H10T1/2. These attractive properties of PLA/PEG-TOCNC/rGO nanocomposite film render the application of film as a scaffold in tissue engineering field and in packaging application.

Abstract
Nanocellulose, a structural polysaccharide that has caught tremendous interests nowadays due to its renewability, inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability, abundance in resource, and environmental friendly nature. They are promising green nanomaterials derived from cellulosic biomass that can be disintegrated into cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) or cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), relying on their sensitivity to hydrolysis at the axial spacing of disordered domains. Owing to their unique mesoscopic characteristics at nanoscale, nanocellulose has been widely researched and incorporated as a reinforcement material in composite materials. The world has been consuming the natural resources at a much higher speed than the environment could regenerate. Today, as an uprising candidate in soft condensed matter physics, a growing interest was received owing to its unique self-assembly behaviour and quantum size effect in the formation of three-dimensional nanostructured material, could be utilised to address an increasing concern over global warming and environmental conservation. In spite of an emerging pool of knowledge on the nanocellulose downstream application, that was lacking of cross-disciplinary study of its role as a soft condensed matter for food, water and energy applications toward environmental sustainability. Here we aim to provide an insight for the latest development of cellulose nanotechnology arises from its fascinating physical and chemical characteristic for the interest of different technology holders.

Abstract
Paper was impregnated with neat polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) or cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) reinforced PVOH, and dried by infrared radiation. Complex phenomena involved during paper impregnation and drying have been rarely investigated in the scientific literature, although these steps are crucial for the properties of the ensuing paper. The drying kinetics was studied and it showed that CNC tends to reduce the skin effect classically observed during fast PVOH drying. Furthermore, the nanoparticles induced faster water removal at the end of the drying step, which can be explained by an increase of the absorbed heat flux density. In addition, PVOH crystallization mechanisms have been studied through classical equations (Avrami, and Arrhenius) and a model (the Hoffman-Weeks method) and it was proved that both the drying conditions and the presence of CNC act on the crystallization of the polymer.
