[PMID: 38878920 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133090] [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: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Biodegradable and sustainable food packaging (FP) materials have gained immense global importance to reduce plastic pollution and environmental impact. Therefore, this review focused on the recent advances in biopolymers based on cellulose derivatives for FP applications. Cellulose, an abundant and renewable biopolymer, and its various derivatives, namely cellulose acetate, cellulose sulphate, nanocellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, and methylcellulose, are explored as promising substitutes for conventional plastic in FP. These reviews focused on the production, modification processes, and properties of cellulose derivatives and highlighted their potential for their application in FP. Finally, we reviewed the effects of incorporating cellulose derivatives into film in various aspects of packaging properties, including barrier, mechanical, thermal, preservation aspects, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Overall, the findings suggest that cellulose derivatives have the potential to replace conventional plastics in food packaging applications. This can contribute to reducing plastic pollution and lessening the environmental impact of food packaging materials. The review likely provides insights into the current state of research and development in this field and underscores the significance of sustainable food packaging solutions.

Abstract
This study explored the active food packaging application of phycocyanin- and Spirulina extract-loaded gliadin electrospun fibers (GPhy and GSPE5%). SEM findings confirmed that the morphology of fibers was tubular, showing the GPhy and GSPE5% as the optimum fibers. The loading efficiencies of GPhy and GSPE5% were also around 90%, which proved the well-incorporated compounds within the fibers. Simulation results of α-gliadin dissolved in acetic acid illustrated the denaturation of the protein. FTIR and TGA confirmed that after electrospinning the chemical/structural changes and enhanced thermostabilities occurred, respectively. Antibacterial and antioxidant tests detected higher bactericidal and antioxidative effects of GSPE5% than GPhy. In the application part, it was found that GPhy and GSPE5% were able to decrease PV and TBA values as the indications of walnut kernels' protection from lipid oxidation. This work shows a facile and an efficient way to fabricate active food packaging materials using electrospinning and natural compounds.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have received increasing attention because of their superior dispersion and thermal stability. In this study, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanocrystal (TOCNC) multifunctional antioxidationantioxidation films (TOCNC-GA film) were prepared by the esterification of TOCNC and gallic acid (GA). TOCNC-GAX films, where X represents the ratio of the amount of GA to the amount of TOCNC, were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The films with the GA:TOCNC ratio of 1:1 achieved higher interfacial compatibility than the other films. The mechanical properties and water resistance of the TOCNC-GA films were superior than those of pure TOCNC films. Moreover, the original TOCNC structure changed owing to the presence of GA, which endowed a certain thermoplasticity owing to the formation of ester groups. The antioxidation properties of the TOCNC-GA1 films reached 43.8 % and 71.85 % after 6 and 24 h, respectively, as evaluated by the 2,2-biphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl method and the free radical scavenging activities of the TOCNC-GA1 films. The innovative development of the functional antioxidation film presented in this paper has great potential for use in antioxidation packaging materials and food preservation.

Abstract
Reducing contamination from percolate is critical to the preservation of foods with high water content, such as pork. This study aims to develop a novel active packaging material for meat preservation by precisely controlled dual-channel one-step electrospinning. Compared to traditional strategies of preparing Janus films, this method allows for greater flexibility and efficiency. The structure and properties of the Janus film are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle (WCA), directional liquid transport investigation, Thymol release and permeation features, and biocompatibility evaluation. Moreover, the Janus film is applied to the packaging of pork with modified atmosphere packaging to demonstrate its practical application prospects in the food active packaging field. The results revealed that the two sides of the film showed completely different wettability, and the change rate of WCA increased with the increase of the scale of hydrophilic fibers. The permeation features of thymol loaded in the film was consistent with the results of antibacterial properties and biocompatibility assessment. Moreover, the Janus film can effectively prolong the shelf life, improve the quality and safety of the pork.

Facile and Bioinspired Approach from Gallic Acid for the Synthesis of Biobased Flame Retardant Coatings of Basalt Fibers. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:19099-19107.

Abstract
A sustainable, bioinspired approach to functionalize basalt fibers with an innovative gallic acid (GA)-iron phenyl phosphonate complex (BF-GA-FeP), for the purpose of improving the flame retardancy in composite materials, is developed. BFs were at first pretreated with O3, obtaining surface free hydroxyl groups that allowed the subsequent covalent immobilization of biosourced GA units on the fiber through ester linkages. Phenolic -OH groups of the GA units were then exploited for the complexation of iron phenyl phosphonate, resulting in the target-complex-coated BF fiber (BF-GA-FeP). Microwave plasma atomic emission spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses of BF-GA-FeP highlighted an increase in iron content, modification of fiber morphology, and occurrence of phosphorus, respectively. BFs, modified with a low amount of the developed complex, were used to reinforce a poly(lactic acid) (PLA) matrix in the production of a biocomposite (PLA/BF-FeP). PLA/BF-FeP showed a higher thermal stability than neat PLA and PLA reinforced with untreated BFs (PLA/BF), as confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis. The cone calorimeter test highlighted several advantages for PLA/BF-FeP, including a prolonged time to ignition, a reduced time to flame out, an 8% decrease in the peak heat release rate, and a 15% reduced fire propagating index compared to PLA/BF.

Abstract
Widely employed petroleum-based food packaging materials have inflicted irreparable harm on ecosystems, primarily stemming from their non-biodegradable attributes and recycling complexities. Inspired by natural nacre with a layered aragonite platelet/nanofiber/protein multi-structure, we prepared high-barrier composite films by self-assembly of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), montmorillonite (MMT), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and alkyl ketene dimer (AKD). The composite films demonstrated outstanding barrier properties with oxygen vapor transmission of 0.193 g·mm·m-2·day-1 and water vapor transmission rates of 0.062 cm3·mm·m-2·day-1·0.1 MPa-1, which were significantly lower than those of most biomass-degradable packaging materials. Additionally, the impacts of mixing nanocellulose with various aspect ratios on the tensile strength and folding cycles of the films were examined. The exceptional resistance of the composite films to oil and water provides a novel and sustainable approach to reduce non-biodegradable plastic packaging.

Abstract
Food packaging must guarantee the products' quality during the different operations including packing and maintenance throughout transportation and storage until to consumption. Thus, it should satisfy, both, food freshness and quality preservation and consumers health safety. Natural bio-sourced polymers have been explored as safe edible materials for several packaging applications, being interestingly carrier of bioactive substances, once added to improve films' properties. Gelatin and chitosan are among the most studied biomaterials for the preparation of edible packaging films due to their excellent characteristics including biodegradability, compatibility and film-forming property. These polymers could be used alone or in combination with other polymers to produce composite films with the desired physicochemical and mechanical properties. When incorporated with bioactive substances (natural extracts, polyphenolic compounds, essential oils), chitosan/gelatin-based films acquired various biological properties, including antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The emerging bioactive composite films with excellent physical attributes represent excellent packaging alternative to preserve different types of foodstuffs (fruits, meat, fish, dairy products, …) and have shown great achievements. This chapter provides the main techniques used to prepare gelatin- and chitosan- based films, showing some examples of bioactive compounds incorporated into the films' matrix. Also, it illustrates the outstanding advantages given by these biomaterials for food preservation, when used as coating and wrapping agents.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA), a dietary phenolic acid with potent antioxidant activity, is widely distributed in edible plants. GA has been applied in the food industry as an antimicrobial agent, food fresh-keeping agent, oil stabilizer, active food wrap material, and food processing stabilizer. GA is a potential dietary supplement due to its health benefits on various functional disorders associated with oxidative stress, including renal, neurological, hepatic, pulmonary, reproductive, and cardiovascular diseases. GA is rapidly absorbed and metabolized after oral administration, resulting in low bioavailability, which is susceptible to various factors, such as intestinal microbiota, transporters, and metabolism of galloyl derivatives. GA exhibits a tendency to distribute primarily to the kidney, liver, heart, and brain. A total of 37 metabolites of GA has been identified, and decarboxylation and dihydroxylation in phase I metabolism and sulfation, glucuronidation, and methylation in phase Ⅱ metabolism are considered the main in vivo biotransformation pathways of GA. Different types of nanocarriers, such as polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and nanodots, have been successfully developed to enhance the health-promoting function of GA by increasing bioavailability. GA may induce drug interactions with conventional drugs, such as hydroxyurea, linagliptin, and diltiazem, due to its inhibitory effects on metabolic enzymes, including cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2D6, and transporters, including P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein, and organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B3. In conclusion, in-depth studies of GA on food industry applications, health benefits, bioavailability, nano-delivery systems, and drug interactions have laid the foundation for its comprehensive application as a food additive and dietary supplement.

Abstract
The significant threat of foodborne pathogens contamination has continuously promoted the development of efficient antimicrobial food packaging materials. Here, an antimicrobial film was prepared with gallic acid-grafted-chitosan (CS/GA) that obtained by a two-step ultrasound method. The resultant films exhibited good transparency, improved UV barrier performance, and enhanced mechanical strength. Specifically, with the grafting of 1.2 % GA, the UV blocking ability of CS/GA film at 400 nm was significantly increased by 19.7 % and the tensile strength was nearly two times higher than that of CS film. Moreover, the CS/GA films exhibited an inspiring photoactivated bactericidal ability under 400 nm UVA light irradiation that eradicated almost 99.9 % of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) cells within 60 min. To gain more insights into the antibacterial mechanism, the treated S. aureus cells were further investigated by visualizing bacterial ultrastructure and analyzing membrane properties. The results pointed to the peptidoglycan layer as the primary action target when bacteria come into contact with CS/GA films. Afterward, the intracellular oxidative lesions, disrupted bacterial integrity, and disordered membrane functional properties collectively resulted in eventual cell death. The findings revealed the unique peptidoglycan targeting and membrane disruptive mechanisms of CS/GA films, confirming the application values in controlling foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of fabricating smart bilayer polymers based on carboxymethyl cellulose-cellulose nanocrystals film and poly(lactic acid)-Viola odorata extract nanofibers (CMC-CNC and PLA-VOE) for freshness monitoring of Pacific white shrimps, minced lamb meat, chicken fillets, and rainbow trout fillets, during refrigerated storage conditions. The fabricated indicators based on CMC-PLA-VOE 5%, CMC-CNC 1%-PLA-VOE 5%, and CMC-CNC 3%-PLA-VOE 5% presented remarkable color changes in pH 1-12 buffer solutions, including red at pH 1-6, violet at pH 7-8, green at pH 9-10, and brown at pH 11-12. Significantly lower water vapor permeability and oxygen transmission rate of prepared polymers were found in comparison with the control groups (P < 0.05). Regarding the monitoring of food samples in real-time, the samples spoiled after 3 days, evidenced by total viable count, psychrotrophic bacterial count, total volatile basic nitrogen, and pH values of 7.17-7.54 log CFU/g, 5.68-6.23 log CFU/g, 25.14-28.12 mg N/100 g, and 7.10-7.66, respectively. Meanwhile, the noticeable color change of prepared indicators from white to violet (day 3) and finally dark violet (day 7) was observed, indicating a potential application in intelligent packaging for real-time control of the freshness of perishable food samples.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to compare the effects of various solvents on producing kafirin/polyethylene oxide (PEO) bio-nanocomposites by the technique of electrospinning. Different concentrations of kafirin (15, 20, 25, 30 and 40% w/v) and PEO (2, 4 and 6% w/v) were electrospun. For the dissolution and electrospinning of these two biopolymers, different solvents were used comparatively, i.e. distilled water, ethanol (70%), acetic acid (40%), 2-Butanol and glacial acetic acid. An evaluation of flow behavior showed that kafirin and PEO had Newtonian and pseudoplastic behaviors, respectively. A mixture of these two polymers demonstrated quasi-Newtonian and shear-independent behaviors in a low shear rate range, which positively affected the electrospinning process. SEM images showed that the best concentrations of kafirin and PEO were 25 and 2%, respectively, for producing nanofibers with uniform structures. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated the presence of kafirin and PEO in the bio-nanocomposite after electrospinning. The FTIR proved that these two polymers had no chemical interactions with each other. Overall, the results showed that selecting an appropriate solvent and a suitable auxiliary polymer could have significant roles in producing biodegradable kafirin nanofibers. Graphical abstract

Abstract
In normal chronic wound healing pathways, the presence of strong and persistent inflammation states characterized by high Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) concentrations is one of the major concerns hindering tissue regeneration. The administration of different ROS scavengers has been investigated over the years, but their effectiveness has been strongly limited by their short half-life caused by chronic wound environmental conditions. This work aimed at overcoming this criticism by formulating bioartificial hydrogels able to preserve the functionalities of the encapsulated scavenger (i.e., gallic acid-GA) and expand its therapeutic window. To this purpose, an amphiphilic poly(ether urethane) exposing -NH groups (4.5 × 1020 units/gpolymer) was first synthesized and blended with a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. The role exerted by the solvent on system gelation mechanism and swelling capability was first studied, evidencing superior thermo-responsiveness for formulations prepared in saline solution compared to double demineralized water (ddH2O). Nevertheless, drug-loaded hydrogels were prepared in ddH2O as the best compromise to preserve GA from degradation while retaining gelation potential. GA was released with a controlled and sustained profile up to 48 h and retained its scavenger capability against hydroxyl, superoxide and 1'-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals at each tested time point. Moreover, the same GA amounts were able to significantly reduce intracellular ROS concentration upon oxidative stress induction. Lastly, the system was highly cytocompatible according to ISO regulation and GA-enriched extracts did not induce NIH-3T3 morphology changes.

Abstract
With the strengthening of the public awareness of food safety and environmental protection, functional food packaging materials have received widespread attention. Nanofibers are considered as promising packaging materials due to their unique one-dimensional structure (high aspect ratio, large specific surface area) and functional advantages. Electrospinning, as a commonly used simple and efficient method for preparing nanofibers, can obtain nanofibers with different structures such as aligned, core-shell, and porous structures by modifying the devices and adjusting the process parameters. The selection of raw materials and structural design of nanofibers can endow food packaging with different functions, including antimicrobial activity, antioxidation, ultraviolet protection, and response to pH. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the application of electrospun nanofibers in functional food packaging. Advances in electrospinning technology and electrospun materials used for food packaging are introduced. Moreover, the progress and development prospects of electrospun nanofibers in functional food packaging are highlighted. Meanwhile, the application of functional packaging based on nanofibers in different foods is discussed in detail.

Abstract
Nanofibers, produced through the novel method of electrospinning, have a high ratio of surface area to volume, which allows them to have different optical, electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties than macroscale materials. In this study, it was aimed to produce nanofibers with gelatin and curcumin. The effects of gelatin concentration and crosslinking with citric acid on the characteristics of electrospun nanofibers were studied. Gelatin film containing neither citric acid nor curcumin was used as control. Solutions were evaluated by solution conductivity, color analysis, and rheological properties. Obtained nanofibers were characterized by morphological analysis (SEM), antioxidant activity (AA), thermal properties (TGA, XRD, DSC), water vapor permeability (WVP), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. It was found that the functional groups of gelatin were not changed significantly but some degree of crosslinking was seen, as indicated by the changes in AA, crystallinity, etc. Improvement in antioxidant activities was seen, which was the highest for gelatin and curcumin films (32%). The highest melting temperature (78 °C) and WVP (2.365 × 10-10 gm-1 s-1 Pa-1) was seen for gelatin and curcumin films crosslinked with 0.5% citric acid. Gelatin with curcumin films crosslinked with 1% citric acid showed the lowest crystallinity (1.56%). It was concluded that even though citric acid might not prove to be a stable crosslinking agent for the protein (gelatin), it contributed to the antioxidant nature of the films, along with curcumin. These films are promising candidates to be applied on cut fruits, to reduce water loss and oxidation and hence extend their shelf lives.

Abstract
The present study proposes two unique systems using free radical-induced grafting reactions to combine Ag, chitosan (CS) and gallic acid (GA) into a single particulate nanostructure. GA-grafted-CS (GA-g-CS) was used to reduce Ag+ to Ag0, and producing Ag-GA-g-CSNPs (hybrid NPs I). Also, GA was grafted into CS-AgNPs, to form GA-g-CS AgNPs (hybrid NPs II). Although there were previous attempts to graft GA into CS, this is first time to graft GA into CS-AgNPs. The study aimed to enhance biocompatibility, antibacterial and antioxidant properties of CS-AgNPs via grafted GA. Grafting GA into CS-AgNPs was confirmed by UV-Vis, DLS, DSC/TGA, XRD, EDX and FTIR. The morphology and size of NPs were studied by TEM and SEM. The decrease of ζ-potential from +50 mV in CS-Ag NPs to +33 and + 29 mV, in the presented 2 nanoforms hybrid NPs I and II, respectively, is an indication for the successful GA graft. Among all samples, hybrid NPs II showed lower toxicity, higher antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The obtained results revealed that grafting GA to CS-AgNPs, as a new method to combine Ag, CS and GA in a uniparticulate structure, is a unique process which may deserve a more future consideration.

Abstract
In this study, an active packaging containing Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZMEO), a powerful natural antimicrobial agent, encapsulated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber via electrospinning is presented. ZMEO was effective on pathogenic bacteria, particularly Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monosytogene), fungi and yeasts (Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans). Results showed that the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of fibers had a bead-free and uniform structure. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) revealed that ZMEO was encapsulated into PVA through a physical process, without chemical interaction between the ingredients. Strawberries treated with PVA/ZMEO significantly (p < 0.05) preserved the anthocyanin (18.64%), total phenols (12.95%), antioxidant (22.72%), soluble solids (6.44%), titratable acidity (20.88%), firmness (27.2%), and color (15.55%) compared to the control sample during 15 days of cold storage. According to these findings, electrospinning was an efficient method for encapsulating bioactive compounds. ZMEO loaded into PVA fiber delayed the physiological and biochemical changes of fruits and extended the fruit's shelf-life. This study revealed the benefits of incorporating ZMEO into PVA fiber mats, which could lead to new possibilities for active packaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to recent studies, electrospun Poly (Ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) is an absorbing candidate for the formulation of biocompatible scaffolds used in tissue engineering. Tissue engineering is a set of techniques for producing or reconstructing tissue, whose primary purpose is to restore or improve the function of tissues in the human body. Tissue engineering combines the principles of materials and cell transplantation to develop alternative tissues or promote endogenous regeneration. However, this electrospun scaffold, consisting of PCL, has disadvantages such as low cell adhesion, inactivity of the surface, osteoinduction, and acidic destruction of the scaffold that causes inflammation at the implant site, often making it unsuitable implant. This study aimed to improve PCL base cellular scaffolds with the formulation of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane - Polycaprolactone (POSS-PCL) nanofiber scaffolds. The present research focuses on the synthesis of nanofibers for their cell interaction features, and application in bone tissue engineering and regeneration. RESULTS POSS/ PCL Nanocomposites with 2, 5, and 10 wt.% of POSS were synthesized in the Trichloromethane, then POSS - PCL Nanofibers were prepared by the electrospinning technique. In this study, the structures of nanohybrids and nanofibers have been evaluated by FTIR, HNMR, XRD, SEM, EDX, and DSC. The biocompatibility of formulated POSS-PCL scaffolds was detected using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Then several parameters were examined, involving DCFH ROS detection system, gene expression (cell viability/apoptosis, osteogenesis potentiality, and redox molecular homeostasis. CONCLUSIONS Based on our results, POSS-PCL nano-scaffolds in comparison with PCL have shown a robust potentiality in homing, growth, and differentiation of stem cells. Synthesis of POSS-PCL Nanofibers and their potential application in Bone Regeneration.

Abstract
Traditional wound dressings often cannot treat wounds caused by bacterial infections or other wound types that are insensitive to these wound treatments. Therefore, a biodegradable, bioactive hydrogel wound dressing could be an effective alternative option. The purpose of this study was to develop a hydrogel membrane comprised of sodium alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, acrylic acid, and gallic acid for treating skin wounds. The newly developed membranes were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), sol-gel fraction, porosity, mechanical strength, swelling, drug release and data modelling, polymeric network parameters, biodegradation, and antioxidation (DPPH and ABTS) and antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and negative bacteria. The results revealed that hydrogel membranes were crosslinked successfully and had excellent thermal stability, high drug loading, greater mechanical strength, and exhibited excellent biodegradation. Additionally, the swelling ability and the porosity of the surface facilitated a controlled release of the encapsulated drug (gallic acid), with 70.34% release observed at pH 1.2, 70.10% at pH 5.5 (normal skin pH), and 86.24% at pH 7.4 (wounds pH) in 48 h. The gallic acid-loaded hydrogel membranes showed a greater area of inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli bacteria as well as demonstrated excellent antioxidant properties. Based on Franz cell analyses, the permeation flux of the drug from optimized formulations through mice skin was 92 (pH 5.5) and 110 (pH 7.4) μg/cm2·h-1. Moreover, hydrogel membranes retained significant amounts of drug in the skin for 24 h, such as 2371 (pH 5.5) and 3300 µg/cm2 (pH 7.4). Acute dermal irritation tests in rats showed that hydrogel membranes were nonirritating. Hydrogel membranes containing gallic acid could be an effective option for improving wound healing and could result in faster wound healing.

Abstract
In recent years, changing lifestyles and food consumption patterns have driven demands for high-quality, ready-to-eat food products that are fresh, clean, minimally processed, and have extended shelf lives. This demand sparked research into the creation of novel tools and ingredients for modern packaging systems. The use of phenolic-compound-based active-packaging and edible films/coatings with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities is an innovative approach that has gained widespread attention worldwide. As phenolic compounds are natural bioactive molecules that are present in a wide range of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, oils, spices, tea, chocolate, and wine, as well as agricultural waste and industrial byproducts, their utilization in the development of packaging materials can lead to improvements in the oxidative status and antimicrobial properties of food products. This paper reviews recent trends in the use of phenolic compounds as potential ingredients in food packaging, particularly for the development of phenolic compounds-based active packaging and edible films. Moreover, the applications and modes-of-action of phenolic compounds as well as their advantages, limitations, and challenges are discussed to highlight their novelty and efficacy in enhancing the quality and shelf life of food products.

Abstract
Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) is a popular nutraceutical found in various natural sources. A confusion regarding its thermodynamic properties, e.g., melting point, can be detected in the reported literature values. Similar issues exist for the assignment of its spectroscopic bands in the region of hydroxyl stretching vibrations. In this study, thermal analysis techniques, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to study the thermal behavior of gallic acid. It is shown that gallic acid exhibits various thermochemical transitions (solid-solid and solid-liquid transitions). The value of the specific heat of the thermal transition around 90 °C indicates that this effect is not only related to water removal, but to decomposition. The absence of significant/exclusive water removal at 90 °C suggests that water being present in the structure of gallic acid is strongly bounded, while the main pathway for the decomposition around 90 °C seems to be the dehydration through esterification reaction between -COOH and -OH groups of gallic acid. Recrystallization of gallic acid from methanol-heavy water solvent mixture, leads to the incorporation of heavy water in its structure. The comparative evaluation of the recrystallized and raw gallic acid allows for a proper spectroscopic band assignment of various vibrations. The thermal effect around 260 °C is a typical thermochemical transition and not a melting point. The extensive polymorphism of gallic acid and the respective solid-solid transformations are also related to partial decomposition.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) and quercetin (QU) are two important bioactive molecules with increased biomedical interest. Cellulose acetate (CA) is a polymer derived from cellulose and is used in various applications. In this work, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to study the thermal behavior of electrospun CA membranes loaded with quercetin or gallic acid. It was found that gallic acid and quercetin depress the thermochemical transition (simultaneous softening and decomposition) of CA, in a mechanism similar to that of the glass transition depression of amorphous polymers by plasticizers. The extensive hydrogen bonding, besides the well-known effect of constraining polymer's softening by keeping macromolecules close to each other, has a secondary effect on the thermochemical transition, i.e., it weakens chemical bonds and, inevitably, facilitates decomposition. This second effect of hydrogen bonding can provide an explanation for an unexpected observation of this study: CA membranes loaded with quercetin or gallic acid soften at lower temperatures; however, at the same time, they decompose to a higher extent than pure CA. Besides optimization of CA processing, the fundamental understanding of the thermochemical transition depression could lead to the design of more sustainable processes for biomass recycling and conversion.

Abstract
The in vitro antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities of a few plant extracts were widely known for decades, and they were used for application in the conventional way. Specifically, electrospun nanofibrous mats have recently exhibited great antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. The herbal extracts infused into these formations are expected to have a more efficient and integrated effect on in vitro biological applications. The purpose of this study is to develop polycaprolactone- (PCL-) based nanofiber mats that are infused with a traditional plant extract using Clerodendrum phlomidis leaves to improve the synthesized nanofibers' antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant efficacy. This study examined the morphology, thermal properties, mechanical properties, structure, and in vitro drug release studies of electrospun nanofibers. Antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities of the electrospun nanofibrous mats were also studied. The HRTEM and FESEM pictures of PCL and PCL-CPM nanofibers provide that smooth, defect-free, and homogeneous nanofibers were found to be 602.08 ± 75 nm and 414.15 ± 82 nm for PCL and PCL-CPM nanofibers, respectively. The presence of Clerodendrum phlomidis extract in the electrospun nanofibers was approved by UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopy. The incorporation of Clerodendrum phlomidis extract to nanofiber mats resulted in substantial antibacterial activity against bacterial cells. PCL-CPM mats exposed to oral cancer (HSC-3) and renal cell carcinoma (ACHN) cell lines displayed promising anticancer activity with less than 50% survival rate after 24 h of incubation. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay performed on PCL-CPM nanofibers revealed the antioxidant scavenging activity with maximum inhibition of 34% suggesting the role of the secondary metabolites release from scaffold. As a result, the findings of this study revealed that Clerodendrum phlomidis extract encapsulating PCL electrospun nanofibers has a high potential for usage as a biobased antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant agent.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to introduce caffeic acid (CA) into electrospun nanofibers made of carob flour, whey protein concentrate (WPC), and polyethylene oxide (PEO). The effects of WPC concentration (1% and 3%) and CA additions (1% and 10%) on the characteristics of solutions and nanofibers were investigated. The viscosity and electrical conductivity of the solutions were examined to determine characteristics of solutions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), water vapor permeability (WVP), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis were used to characterize the nanofibers. According to the SEM results, the inclusion of CA into nanofibers resulted in thinner nanofibers. All nanofibers exhibited uniform morphology. CA was efficiently loaded into nanofibers. When CA concentrations were 1% and 10%, loading efficiencies were 76.4% and 94%, respectively. Nanofibers containing 10% CA demonstrated 92.95% antioxidant activity. The results indicate that encapsulating CA into carob flour–WPC-based nanofibers via electrospinning is a suitable method for active packaging applications.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE With over 950 species, Cyperus is one of the most promising health boosting genera in the Cyperaceae family. Traditional uses of Cyperus sp. have been described for gastrointestinal blood abnormalities, menstrual irregularities, and inflammatory diseases, among others. Cyperus tegetum Roxb belonging to Cyperaceae family, is used in traditional medicine to treat skin cancers. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study was carried out to explore the potential effect of the extract of the plant Cyperus tegetum against different pharmacological activity namely inflammatory, analgesic activity as well as skin cancer activity in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cytotoxicity of the extract was measured by MTT and Live/death assay on HeLa cell line. Skin cancer was induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in mice to measure its effects. RESULT Stigmasterol and some poly phenolic compounds are identified using HPTLC process from the methanol extract of the rhizome of the plant Cyperus tegetum (CT-II). After confirmation of the presence of different polyphenolic compound and triterpenoids in the extract, it was subject to MTT and Live/death assay on HeLa cell line. From the observation it could be concluded that the IC50 of the extract is 300 μg/ml. Thus, the CTII was evaluated further for its in vivo anticancer property. In the tumorigenesis study, the number of tumor growths, the area and weight of the tumor significantly decreases with increment in the dose of CT-II extract and some elevated enzyme release in renal (creatinine, urea) as well as hepatic (AST, ALT, ALP) enzymes are also controlled with the increased dose of the same extract. The elevated enzyme release may be due to cancer induced rupture of the plasma and cellular damage. This CT-II extract also exhibits some other pharmacological activity like anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. CONCLUSION As metabolic activation via carcinogens and inflammation response plays important role in development of cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties can be correlated with anti-cancer properties. Taken all the above studies, it was illustrated that the extract of Cyperus tegetum might be a promising compound to reduce skin cancer risk.

Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic processing (EHDP) allows the use of a wide range of biopolymers and solvents, including food-grade biopolymers and green solvents, for the development of micro- and nanostructures. These structures present a high surface-area-to-volume ratio and different shapes and morphologies. The aim of this work was to design and produce hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based micro- and nanostructures through EHD processing using green solvents, while exploring the influence of process and solution parameters, and incorporating a bioactive extracted from a food by-product. Low (LMW) and high (HMW) molecular weight HPMC have been used as polymers. The design-of-experiments methodology was used to determine the effects of process parameters (polymer concentration, flow rate, tip-to-collector distance, and voltage) of EHDP on the particle and fibre diameter, aspect ratio, diameter distribution, aspect ratio distribution, and percentage of fibre breakage. Additionally, melanoidins extracted from spent coffee grounds were encapsulated into the HPCM-based structures at a concentration of 2.5 mg melanoidins/mL of the polymer solution. Polymer solutions were characterised regarding their viscosity, surface tension and conductivity, and showed that the incorporation of melanoidins increased the viscosity and conductivity values of the polymer solutions. The developed structures were characterised regarding their thermal properties, crystallinity and morphology before and after melanoidin incorporation and it was observed that melanoidin incorporation did not significantly influence the characteristics of the produced micro- and nanostructures. Based on the results, it is possible to envision the use of the produced micro- and nanostructures in a wide range of applications, both in food and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Nanomaterials for air filtration have been studied by researchers for decades. Owing to the advantages of high porosity, small pore size, and good connectivity, nanofiber membranes prepared by electrospinning technology have been considered as an outstanding air-filter candidate. To satisfy the requirements of material functionalization, electrospinning can provide a simple and efficient one-step process to fabricate the complex structures of functional nanofibers such as core-sheath structures, Janus structures, and other multilayered structures. Additionally, as a nanoparticle carrier, electrospun nanofibers can easily achieve antibacterial properties, flame-retardant properties, and the adsorption properties of volatile gases, etc. These simple and effective approaches have benefited from the significate development of electrospun nanofibers for air-filtration applications. In this review, the research progress on electrospun nanofibers as air filters in recent years is summarized. The fabrication methods, filtration performances, advantages, and disadvantages of single-polymer nanofibers, multipolymer composite nanofibers, and nanoparticle-doped hybrid nanofibers are investigated. Finally, the basic principles of air filtration are concluded upon and prospects for the application of complex-structured nanofibers in the field of air filtration are proposed.

Abstract
Electrospinning has the advantages of simple manufacturing equipment, a low spinning cost, wide range of spinnable materials, and a controllable mild process, which can continuously fabricate submicron or nanoscale ultrafine polymer fibers without high temperature or high pressure. The obtained nanofibrous films may have a large specific surface area, unique pore structure, and easy-to-modify surface characteristics. This review briefly introduces the types and fiber structures of electrospinning and summarizes the applications of electrospinning for food production (e.g., delivery systems for functional food, filtration of beverages), food packaging (e.g., intelligent packaging, antibacterial packaging, antioxidant packaging), and food analysis (e.g., pathogen detection, antibiotic detection, pesticide residue detection, food compositions analysis), focusing on the advantages of electrospinning applications in food systems. Furthermore, the limitations and future research directions of the technique are discussed.

Abstract
Radix paeoniae alba (RPA) is a kind of herbal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that is widely used for the treatment of liver diseases and rheumatoid arthritis in clinical practice. As a result of the low extraction efficiency of RPA by the conventional method, many patients are given high dosages. In this study, four exposure doses of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma (0, 60, 120, and 180 s) were applied to modify the extraction efficiency of paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin, tannic acid, gallic acid, 2′-hydroxy-4′-methoxyacetophenone, and polysaccharide in RPA. Finally, the application of plasma for 180 s exhibited a 24.6% and 12.0% (p < 0.001) increase of tannic acid and polysaccharide contents, however, a 2.1% (p < 0.05) and 5.4% (p < 0.001) reduction of paeoniflorin and gallic acid composition, respectively, and no significant difference (p > 0.05) in results obtained from benzoylpaeoniflorin and 2′-hydroxy-4′-methoxyacetophenone contents. Our results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), automatic specific surface area and pore analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that DBD plasma can etch the surface and undergo graft polymerization by reactive species thereby changing the water/oil holding capacity and eventually changing the extraction efficiency of bioactive compounds in RPA. Overall, our observations provide a scientific foundation for modifying the extraction efficiency of bioactive ingredients related to the pharmacological activities of RPA.

Abstract
Packaging is used to protect foods from environmental influences and microbial contamination to maintain the quality and safety of commercial food products, to avoid their spoilage and to extend their shelf life. In this respect, bioactive packaging is developing to additionally provides antibacterial and antioxidant activity with the same goals i.e., extending the shelf life while ensuring safety of the food products. New solutions are designed using natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agents such as essential oils, some polysaccharides, natural inorganic nanoparticles (nanoclays, oxides, metals as silver) incorporated/encapsulated into appropriate carriers in order to be used in food packaging. Electrospinning/electrospraying are receiving attention as encapsulation methods due to their cost-effectiveness, versatility and scalability. The electrospun nanofibers and electro-sprayed nanoparticles can preserve the functionality and protect the encapsulated bioactive compounds (BC). In this review are summarized recent results regarding applications of nanostructured suitable materials containing essential oils for food safety.

Abstract
Abstract
Cylindrical-electrode-assisted solution blowing spinning (CSBS) is a novel technique of fabricating nanofibers. In this paper, a combination of numerical simulation, theoretical analysis, and experiment is used to study the influences of CSBS airflow field and electric field on the fabrication of CSBS nanofibers for the first time. The effects of air pressure and injection speed on the morphology of CSBS fiber are studied. The research results show that the increase in air pressure will increase the centerline velocity and the centerline turbulence intensity within the effective stretching distance of the airflow. The increase in centerline velocity will result in a decrease in the diameter of CSBS fibers. There is a negative correlation between jet diameter and surface charge density of CSBS jet. The increase in air pressure will increase the stretching of the jet by the air flow, which will make the jet more likely to become thinner again because of the charge repulsion. Increasing air pressure will reduce the porosity of the nonwoven. As the injection speed increases, the diameter of CSBS fiber increases, and the porosity of the nonwoven decreases first and then increases. This work provides theoretical and experimental bases for the controllable preparation of CSBS nanofibers.

Abstract
Polyphenols are a kind of complex secondary metabolites in nature, widely exist in the flowers, bark, roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of plants. Numerous studies have shown that plant-derived polyphenols have a variety of bioactivities due to their unique chemical structure, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and prevention of chronic diseases, cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and neurodegeneration. With the gradual rise of natural product development, plant polyphenols have gradually become one of the research hotspots in the field of food science due to their wide distribution in the plants, and the diversity of physiological functions. Owing to the extraordinary antioxidant and antibacterial activity of polyphenols, plant-derived polyphenols offer an alternative to chemical additives used in the food industry, such as oil, seafood, meat, beverages, and food package materials. Based on this, this chapter provides an overview of the potential antioxidant and antibacterial mechanisms of plant polyphenols and their application in food preservation, it would be providing a reference for the future development of polyphenols in the food industry.

Abstract
An oral multi-unit delivery system was developed by incorporating the nanoparticle (NP) into the nanofiber mat and its efficiency for intestinal-specific delivery and controlled release of a peptide (insulin) was investigated. Initially, the influence of deacetylation degree (DD) of chitosan and ionic gelation methods on the properties of NPs was studied. High DD (95%) chitosan was attributed to higher encapsulation efficiency and stability when crosslinked with polyanion tripolyphosphate. Subsequently, the multi-unit system was fabricated using a pH-sensitive polymer (sodium alginate) as the coating layer to further encapsulate the NP. Fiber mat with an average diameter of 481 ± 47 nm could significantly decrease the burst release of insulin in acidic condition and release most amount of insulin (>60%) in the simulated intestinal medium. Furthermore, the encapsulated peptide remained in good integrity. This multi-unit carrier provides the better-designed vehicle for intestinal-specific delivery and controlled release of the peptide.
