Abstract
Foodborne pathogens can cause food spoilage and lead to food safety issues. In recent years, food packaging has received a lot of attention. Traditional packaging membranes are non-biodegradable and remain in the environment for a long time. In this study, natural antimicrobial substances were extracted from Schisandra chinensis by a green extraction process using distilled water as the solvent, and the effects of different treatment on the antimicrobial activity of the extract were compared. At the same time, four types of Schisandra chinensis antimicrobial membranes were prepared using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the substrate. The whole extraction and membrane preparation process did not involve organic solvents, making the process green and environment friendly. Material characterization included inverted biological microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), tensile strength test, pore size measurement, water uptake test, etc. Among them, no extract particles were observed with the naked eye on the surfaces of MⅡ and MⅣ. MⅡ has a uniformly transparent, nearly colorless morphology and is the most tensile. MⅣ surface is flat and smooth, the microstructure is dense and uniform. At the same time, the four types of membranes were tested against common pathogenic bacteria for 12 h, and the OD600 trend revealed the excellent antimicrobial activity of the membranes against S. aureus, MRSA, E. coli, and L. monocytogenes. The membranes could also be reused at least once. This study provides a new idea for preparing natural plant-based antimicrobial membranes.

[PMID: 37019400 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Synthesis and fabrication of naturally sourced biopolymers, especially chitosan, grafted with renewable small molecules have recently attracted attention as efficient antimicrobial agents and are highly desired for sustainable material development. Advantageous inherent functionalities in biobased benzoxazine extend the possibility of crosslinking with chitosan which holds immense potential. Herein, a low-temperature, greener facile methodology is adopted for the covalent confinement of benzoxazine monomers bearing aldehyde and disulfide linkages within chitosan to form benzoxazine-grafted-chitosan copolymer films. The association of benzoxazine as Schiff base, hydrogen bonding, and ring-opened structures enabled the exfoliation of chitosan galleries, and such host-guest mediated interactions demonstrated outstanding properties like hydrophobicity, good thermal, and solution stability due to the synergistic effects. Furthermore, the structures empowered excellent bactericidal properties against both E. coli and S. aureus as investigated by GSH loss, live/dead fluorescence microscopy, and morphological alteration on the cell surface by SEM. The work provides the benefits of disulfide-linked benzoxazines on chitosan, offering a promising avenue for general and eco-friendly usage in wound-healing and packaging material.

MEMBRANES 2023; 13:637. [PMID: 37505002 PMCID: PMC10383816 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13070637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is considered a mature alternative to synthetic plastics made from petroleum by-products, possessing the advantages of good mechanical strength. However, it also has some disadvantages such as brittleness and low toughness. In order to overcome and improve some of these unfavorable properties, PLA/PBAT composites were prepared by blending PLA with Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), and adding 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) as compatibilizers to investigate the effects of different compatibilizers on the properties of the composites. The main observations are as follows: FT-IR indicated that MDI did not add new groups, while the addition of ChNPs added a substantial amount of hydroxyl and methylene groups. The addition of both MDI and ChNPs did not have any effect on the crystalline shape of the composites, but could potentially reduce their crystallinity, increase the melt peak temperature, wet the boundary of the PLA and PBAT phases, decrease the size of the dispersed phases, reduce the number of dispersed phases, and improve interfacial compatibility. The incorporation of MDI increased the tensile strength from 13.02 MPa to 19.24 MPa, whereas the addition of ChNPs substantially enhanced the elongation at the break from 3.84% to 19.24%. Furthermore, the inclusion of MDI conferred enhanced moisture resistance, whereas the addition of ChNPs seemed to weaken the resistance to moisture.

Abstract
This review presents current knowledge on antimicrobial agents that are already used in the food packaging industry. At the beginning, innovative ways of food packaging were discussed, including how smart packaging differs from active packaging, and what functions they perform. Next, the focus was on one of the groups of bioactive components that are used in these packaging, namely antimicrobial agents. Among the antimicrobial agents, we selected those that have already been used in packaging and that promise to be used elsewhere, e.g., in the production of antimicrobial biomaterials. Main groups of antimicrobial agents (i.e., metals and metal oxides, organic acids, antimicrobial peptides and bacteriocins, antimicrobial agents of plant origin, enzymes, lactoferrin, chitosan, allyl isothiocyanate, the reuterin system and bacteriophages) that are incorporated or combined with various types of packaging materials to extend the shelf life of food are described. The further development of perspectives and setting of new research directions were also presented.
