Effect of metal cation crosslinking on the mechanical properties and shrimp freshness monitoring sensitivity of pectin/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium/anthocyanin intelligent films. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 340:122285. [PMID: 38858002 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
Although many preparation methods have been reported so far, it is still a great challenge for intelligent packaging films with both excellent mechanical properties and very high sensitivity. Herein, we report a facile method to prepare performance-enhanced pectin (PC)/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC)/anthocyanins (ACNs)/metal ion films by crosslinking with metal ions (Zn2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+). Cross-linking reaction between PC/CMC and metal ions significantly improved water resistance and mechanical properties of composite films (P < 0.05). Even at high relative humidity (RH = 84 %), cross-linking of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Zn2+ significantly increased the tensile index of the films by 1.37, 1.41, and 1.52 times (P < 0.05), respectively. Moreover, the complexation of metal ions/polysaccharides with ACNs reduced the decomposition rate of ACNs, improved the storage stability and antioxidant capacity of ACNs, and also increased the sensitivity of the colorimetric response of the indicator films in monitoring shrimp freshness. Thus, with this high sensitivity, the Red, Green and Blue (RGB) values of the films can be determined using a mobile phone application to monitor shrimp safety in real time. These results suggest that ACNs-metal cation-polysaccharide composite films have great potential for smart packaging applications.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensors play a crucial role in promoting on-site testing, enabling the detection and/or quantification of various analytes based on changes in color. These sensors offer several advantages, such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and visual readouts, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including food safety and monitoring. A critical component in portable colorimetric sensors involves their integration with color models for effective analysis and interpretation of output signals. The most commonly used models include CIELAB (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage), RGB (Red, Green, Blue), and HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value). This review outlines the use of color models via digitalization in sensing applications within the food safety and monitoring field. Additionally, challenges, future directions, and considerations are discussed, highlighting a significant gap in integrating a comparative analysis toward determining the color model that results in the highest sensor performance. The aim of this review is to underline the potential of this integration in mitigating the global impact of food spoilage and contamination on health and the economy, proposing a multidisciplinary approach to harness the full capabilities of colorimetric sensors in ensuring food safety.

Abstract
To effectively extend the shelf life of fruits meanwhile facilitating consumers to judge their freshness, in this work, a double-layer multifunctional film combining CO2 sensitivity and antibacterial properties was successfully prepared by adding methyl red (MR), bromothymol blue (BTB) into gellan gum (GG) as the sensing inner layer, and doping tannic acid (TA) into sodium alginate with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as the antimicrobial outer layer, which was applied to the freshness indication of strawberries. Microscopic morphology and spectral analysis demonstrated that the bi-layer films were fabricated successfully. The mechanical characteristics, thermal stability, water vapor resistance, and antibacterial capabilities of the bilayer films improved as TA concentration rose. They exhibited noticeable color changes at pH = 2-10 and different concentrations of CO2. Application of the prepared films to strawberries revealed that the GG-MB@SC-6%TA film performed most favorably under 4 °C storage conditions, not only monitoring strawberry freshness but also retaining high soluble solids and titratable acidity, resulting in a slight decrease in hardness and weight loss. Therefore, taking into account all of the physical-functional characteristics, the GG-MB@6%TA film has a broad application prospect for intelligent food packaging.

Abstract
The poor biological, mechanical and water-resistance properties of sodium alginate/guar gum film (SG) limit its application in food preservation. To overcome this disadvantage, we added β-Cyclodextrin/persimmon pectin-stabilized baobab seed oil Pickering emulsion (BOPE) to enhance the mechanical and water resistance properties of SG film, and added green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPS) and Lycium ruthenicum extract (LA) to improve the biological properties of the film. The properties of BOPE was optimized using Box-Behnken design (BBD). Scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared results revealed the change of structure and molecular interaction in the SG film after the addition of AgNPS, LA, and optimized BOPE. The 2.0%BOPE-loaded film containing AgNPS/LA with the enhanced mechanical, barrier, BO retention, and biological properties not only improved the preservation effect on mushroom (A. bisporus), but also maintained structural stability. Thus, the 2.0%BOPE-loaded SG/LA/AgNPS film has considerable potential in active packaging applications.

Development of a chitosan and whey protein-based, biodegradable, colorimetric/fluorescent dual-channel monitoring label for real-time sensing of shrimp freshness. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:130203. [PMID: 38365147 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130203] [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: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
To address the growing and urgent need for quick and accurate food spoilage detection systems as well as to reduce food resource wastage, recent research has focused on intelligent bio-labels using pH indicators. Accordingly, we developed a dual-channel intelligent label with colorimetric and fluorescent capabilities using black lycium anthocyanin (BLA) and 9,10-bis(2,2-dipyridylvinyl) anthracene (DSA4P) as colorimetric and fluorescent indicators within a composite film consisting of chitosan (Cs), whey protein (Wp), and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). The addition of STPP as a cross-linking agent significantly improved the hydrophobicity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the Cs/Wp composite films under low pH conditions. After the incorporation of BLA and DSA4P, the resulting dual-channel intelligent label (Cs/Wp/STPP/BLA/DSA4P) exhibited superior hydrophobicity, as indicated by a water contact angle of 78.03°. Additionally, it displayed enhanced mechanical properties, with a tensile strength (TS) of 3.04 MPa and an elongation at break (EAB) of 81.07 %, while maintaining a low transmittance of 28.48 % at 600 nm. After 25 days of burial in soil, the label was significantly degraded, which showcases its eco-friendly nature. Moreover, the label could visually detect color changes indicating volatile ammonia concentrations (25-25,000 ppm). The color of the label in daylight gradually shifted from brick-red to light-red, brownish-yellow, and finally light-green as the ammonia concentration increased. Correspondingly, its fluorescence transitioned from no fluorescence to green fluorescence with increasing ammonia concentration, gradually intensifying under 365-nm UV light. Furthermore, the label effectively monitored the freshness of shrimp stored at temperatures of 4 °C, 25 °C, and - 18 °C. Thus, the label developed in this study exhibits significant potential for enhancing food safety monitoring.

Abstract
Anthocyanins are a specific group of molecules found in nature that have recently received increasing attention due to their interesting biological and colorimetric properties that have been successfully applied in several fields such as food preservation and biomedicine. Consequently, reviews devoted to a general overview of these flavonoids have proliferated in recent years. Meanwhile, the incorporation of anthocyanins into polymeric systems has become an interesting strategy to widen the applicability of these molecules and develop new smart and functional polymers in the above cited areas. However, anthocyanin-based polymers have been scarcely reviewed in the literature. Accordingly, this review aims to be a systematic summary of the most recent approaches for the incorporation of anthocyanins into macro-, micro-, or nanostructured polymers. Moreover, this work describes the fundamentals of the applicability of smart anthocyanin-based polymers and offers an updated review of their most interesting applications as sensors, biological regulators, and active materials.

Abstract
Real-real time CO2-sensitive freshness indicators, phenol red (PR) and bromothymol blue (BTB) dyes, in three-layer system using cellulose based binder was developed to determine the freshness/spoilage of chicken breast. The developed indicators were used to monitor chicken meat spoilage packaged in polyamide/polyethylene (PA/PE) pouches under air and 100% nitrogen (N2) at 4 °C for 10 days. Changes in the ΔE and ΔRGB values of the indicators, CO2/O2 gas composition of packs, and chemical (TVBN, pH, trimethylamine), microbial, and sensory quality parameters of chicken breast meat were analyzed. The visual color change in the PR-based indicator was insufficient for the consumer to detect the spoilage with the naked eye in both simulation and food trial. However, three stage color (dark blue-turquoise-green) change was occurred in BTB-based indicators, and the color transition in the spoilage level of CO2 (10-15% (v/v)) is supported by the physicochemical, microbiological and sensorial properties of the chicken breast. The shelf life of chicken breast under air was limited to 4 days, while the shelf life under 100% N2 was 6 days which are supported by the visual color change of BTB indicator. The BTB-based indicators were found promising on a real packaging conditions and could be adapted to industrial scale for monitoring real-time freshness/spoilage of poultry, ensuring food safety.

Abstract
Here, highly sensitive blueberry anthocyanin (BBA)-induced intelligent indicating films were fabricated by incorporating a novel composite ingredient, diatomite (DA), into a matrix of konjac glucomannan (KGM), carrageenan (CAR) and BBA. We systematically investigated the effects of introducing DA and BBA on the structure, physical properties, colorimetric response, and practical application of the KGM/CAR film. Our findings revealed that the DA particles and BBA were well-distributed in the KGM/CAR matrix through hydrogen bonding interactions. This distribution significantly improved tensile strength, surface hydrophobicity, thermal stability, and barrier properties of the KGM/CAR film. Notably, the KGM/CAR-based intelligent film loaded with 6 % DA exhibited the most optimal properties. Furthermore, DA exhibited a hierarchical porous structure, enabling the KGM/CAR film to detect volatile amines with heightened sensitivity. When applied to monitor shrimp spoilage in transparent plastic packaging, the color of the composite film underwent remarkable changes from bright pink to bluish violet. These color changes correlated well with the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and pH changes in the shrimp, as determined by standard laboratory procedures. Our work presents a promising approach to the development of high-performance and intelligent food packaging materials. These materials hold great potential for practical applications in the field of food packaging.

Abstract
Although food packaging preserves food's quality, it unfortunately contributes to global climate change since the considerable carbon emissions associated with its entire life cycle. Polysaccharide-based packaging materials (PPMs) are promising options to preserve foods, potentially helping the food industry reduce its carbon footprint. PPMs incorporated with phytochemicals hold promise to address this critical issue, keep food fresh and prolong the shelf life. However, phytochemicals' health benefits are impacted by their distinct chemical structures thus the phytochemicals-incorporated PPMs generally exhibit differential performances. PPMs must be thoughtfully formulated to possess adequate physicochemical properties to meet commercial standards. Given this, this review first-time provides a comprehensive review of recent advances in the fabrication of phytochemicals incorporated PPMs. The application performances of phytochemicals-incorporated PPMs for preserving foods, as well as the intelligent monitoring of food quality, are thoroughly introduced. The possible associated environmental impacts and scalability challenges for the commercial application of these PPMs are also methodically assessed. This review seeks to provide comprehensive insights into exploring new avenues to achieve a greener and safer food industry via innovative food packaging materials. This is paramount to preserve not only food shelf life but also the environment, facilitating the eco-friendly development of the food industry.

Abstract
With the increasing concerns of food safety and public health, tremendous efforts have been concentrated on the development of effective, reliable, nondestructive methods to evaluate the freshness level of different kinds of food. Natural colorants-based intelligent colorimetric indicators which are typically constructed with natural colorants and polymer matrices has been regarded as an innovative approach to notify the customers and retailers of the food quality during the storage and transportation procedure in real-time. This review briefly elucidates the mechanism of natural colorants used for intelligent colorimetric indicators and fabrication methodologies of natural colorants-based food freshness indicators. Subsequently, their multifunctional applications in intelligent food packaging systems like antioxidant packaging, antimicrobial packaging, biodegradable packaging, UV-blocking packaging and inkless packaging are well introduced. This paper also summarizes several optimizing strategies for the practical application of this advanced technology from different perspectives. Strategies like adopting a hydrophobic matrix, constructing double-layer film and encapsulation have been developed to improve the stability of the indicators. Co-pigmentation, metal ion complexation, pigment-mixing and using substrates with high surface area are proved to be effective to enhance the sensitivity of the indicators. Approaches include multi-index evaluation, machine learning and smartphone-assisted evaluation have been proven to improve the accuracy of the intelligent food freshness indicators. Finally, future research opportunities and challenges are proposed. Based on the fundamental understanding of natural colorants-based intelligent colorimetric food freshness indicators, and the latest research and findings from literature, this review article will help to develop better, lower cost and more reliable food freshness evaluation technique for modern food industry.
