Fabricating active Egg Albumin/Sodium Alginate/Sodium Lignosulfonate Nanoparticles film with significantly improved multifunctional characteristics for food packing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:133110. [PMID: 38876230 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133110] [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: 05/18/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
In food packaging, sodium lignosulfonate nanoparticles (SLS NPs) showed significant antibacterial properties, antioxidant and UV barrier activities. Herein, the SLS NPs were synthesized via a sustainable green method and were added into egg albumin/sodium alginate mixture (EA/SA) to fabricate a safe, edible EA/SA/SNPs food packaging. A composite film EA/SA/SNP was examined microstructurally and physicochemically. The mechanical characteristics, UV protection, water resistance, and the composite film's thermal stability were all enhanced by the inclusion of SLS NPs, and water vapor permeability reduced by 44 %. This composite film exhibited robust antioxidative properties with DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging rates reaching 76.84 % and 92.56 %, and effective antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) with antibacterial rates reaching 98.25 % and 97.13 % for the positively charged nanoparticles interacting with the cell membrane. Freshness tests showed that the EA/SA/SNPs packaging film could delay the quality deterioration of fresh tomatoes. This composite film can slow down spoilage bacteria proliferation and prolongs food's preservation period by eight days at ambient temperature.

Abstract
Construction of sustainable composite biofilms from natural biopolymers are greatly promising for advanced packaging applications due to their biodegradable, biocompatible, and renewable properties. In this work, sustainable advanced food packaging films are developed by incorporating lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) as green nanofillers to starch films. This seamless combination of bio-nanofiller with biopolymer matrix is enabled by the uniform size of nanofillers and the strong interfacial hydrogen bonding. As a result, the as-prepared biocomposites exhibit enhanced mechanical properties, thermal stability, and antioxidant activity. Moreover, they also present outstanding ultraviolet (UV) irradiation shielding performance. As a proof of concept in the application of food packaging, we evaluate the effect of composite films on delaying oxidative deterioration of soybean oil. The results indicate our composite film could significantly decrease peroxide value (POV), saponification value (SV), and acid value (AV) to delay oxidation of soybean oil during storage. Overall, this work provides a simple and effective method for the preparation of starch-based films with enhanced antioxidant and barrier properties for advanced food packaging applications.

Abstract
Hydrogel with 3D networks have shown great potential for ion transportation and energy conversion. However, the micron size pores of hydrogel greatly limit the ion selectivity and energy conversion performance. Here, we report a bacterial cellulose (BC) derived hydrogel membrane with double-network (DN) and tailored ion transport channels by rationally filling acrylic acid (AAc)-co-acrylamide (AAm)-co-methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymers into BC hydrogel micropores. Fabricated AAM/BC DN hydrogel membrane displays a unique hierarchical interconnected porous structure and 3D cation transport channels. From the results, the maximum power density reached up to 7.63 W·m-2 at 50-fold salinity gradient under alkaline conditions (pH 11). Interestingly, the power density of 45.5 W·m-2 was achieved through acid-base neutralization reaction. Furthermore, hydrogel successfully obtained a power density of 28.4 W·m-2 from a mixed system of paper black liquor wastewater/seawater. The results of this investigation suggested the enormous potential of BC-based nanofluidic membrane in sustainable osmotic energy conversion.

Abstract
Inspired by natural plant cells, lignin is utilized as a filler and a functional agent to modify bacterial cellulose (BC). By mimicking the lignin-carbohydrate structure, deep eutectic solvent (DES)-extracted lignin serves as a glue to strength the BC films and endows the films with diverse functionality. The lignin isolated by the DES (formed by choline chloride and lactic acid) is rich in phenol hydroxyl groups (5.5 mmol/g) and exhibits a narrow molecular weight distribution. A good interface compatibility can be obtained in the composite film, and lignin fills the void/gaps between BC fibrils. The integration of lignin endows the films with enhanced water-proof, mechanical, UV shielding, gas barrier, and antioxidant abilities. The BC/lignin composite film with 0.4 g of lignin addition (BL-0.4) exhibits an oxygen permeability and a water vapor transmission rate of 0.4 mL/m2/day/Pa and 0.9 g/m2/day, respectively. The multifunctional films are promising candidates for packing materials and exhibit a broad application prospect in the field of petroleum-based polymer replacement.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymers complement recyclable materials in battling plastic waste because some products are difficult to recycle and some will end up in the environment either because of their application or due to wear of the products. Natural biopolymers, such as cellulose, are inherently biodegradable, but chemical modification typically required for the obtainment of thermoplastic properties, solubility, or other desired material properties can hinder or even prevent the biodegradation process. This Review summarizes current knowledge on the degradation of common cellulose derivatives in different laboratory, natural, and man-made environments. Depending on the environment, the degradation can be solely biodegradation or a combination of several processes, such as chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis, photodegradation, and oxidation. It is clear that the type of modification and especially the degree of substitution are important factors controlling the degradation process of cellulose derivatives in combination with the degradation environment. The big variation of conditions in different environments is also briefly considered as well as the importance of the proper testing environment, characterization of the degradation process, and confirmation of biodegradability. To ensure full sustainability of the new cellulose derivatives under development, the expected end-of-life scenario, whether material recycling or "biological" recycling, should be included as an important design parameter.

Abstract
Deep Eutectic Solvents have gained a lot of attention in the last few years because of their vast applicability in a large number of technological processes, the simplicity of their preparation and their high biocompatibility and harmlessness. One of the fields where DES prove to be particularly valuable is the synthesis and modification of inorganic materials-in particular, nanoparticles. In this field, the inherent structural inhomogeneity of DES results in a marked templating effect, which has led to an increasing number of studies focusing on exploiting these new reaction media to prepare nanomaterials. This review aims to provide a summary of the numerous and most recent achievements made in this area, reporting several examples of the newest mixtures obtained by mixing molecules originating from natural feedstocks, as well as linking them to the more consolidated methods that use "classical" DES, such as reline.
