[PMID: 38642532 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138984] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
This study explored the effect of diverse coagulants (glucono-δ-lactone (GDL), gypsum (GYP), microbial transglutaminase (MTGase), and white vinegar (WVG)) on microstructure, quality, and digestion properties of tofu. The four kinds of tofu were significantly different in their structure, composition, and digestibility. Tofu coagulated with MTGase had the highest springiness and cohesiveness while GDL tofu had the highest enthalpy (6.54 J/g). However, the WVG and GYP groups outperformed others in terms of thermodynamic, and digestion properties. The WVG group exhibited the highest nitrogen release (84.3%), water content, denaturation temperature, and the highest free-SH content but the lowest S-S content. Compared to WVG, the GYP group had the highest ash content, hardness, and chewiness. Results demonstrated that the tofu prepared by WVG and GYP show high digestibility. Meanwhile, the former has better thermal properties and the latter has better texture properties.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:7550-7559. [PMID: 37410998 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.12834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhancing protein gel properties is essential to improve the texture of meat products. In this study, the improvement effects of three types of nanocellulose, i.e. rod-like cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), long-chain cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and spherical cellulose nanospheres (CNS) with different concentrations (1, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 g kg-1 ), on cull cow meat myofibrillar protein (MP) gel were investigated. RESULTS Compared with needle-shaped CNC and spherical CNS, the addition of 10 and 20 g kg-1 long-chain CNF had the most significant improvement effect on gel hardness and water-holding capacity, respectively (P < 0.05), increasing to 160.1 g and 97.8%, respectively. In addition, the incorporation of long-chain CNF shortened the T2 relaxation time and induced the formation of the densest network structure and promoted the phase transition of the gel. However, excessive filling of nanocellulose would destroy the structure of the gel, which was not conducive to the improvement of gel properties. Fourier transform infrared results showed that there was no chemical reaction between the three nanocellulose types and MP, but the addition of nanocellulose was conducive to gel formation. CONCLUSION The improvement of MP gel properties by adding nanocellulose mainly depends on its morphology and concentration. Nanocellulose with higher aspect ratio is more beneficial to the improvement of gel properties. For each nanocellulose type, there is an optimal addition amount for MP gel improvement. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:2834. [PMID: 37447480 DOI: 10.3390/polym15132834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of incorporating different concentrations of flaxseed gum (FG) into acid-induced soy protein isolate (SPI) gels. The investigation focused on assessing the effects of FG on the textural, rheological, and tribological properties of the resultant SPI gels. The results showed that adding a small amount of FG (0.05%) to the SPI gel system increased the storage modulus (G') and enhanced gelation while improving textural properties including hardness, viscosity, elasticity, and adhesion. Moreover, these gels exhibited strong water-holding capacity, a desirable property in various food products. However, when the concentration was increased to 0.3%, the WHC of the gel decreased, as did the hardness and cohesiveness. The particle size of the gel also increased with increasing concentration. Tribological investigations revealed that at 0.05-0.2% FG addition, the coefficient of friction (μ) of the composite gel was decreased compared to the pure SPI gel. In the sliding speed range of 1-100 mm/s, the coefficient of friction gradually increased with increasing concentration. When the FG concentration was 0.05%, the μ of the gel system was the lowest. In summary, low concentration of FG (0.05%) was found to play an important role in improving the properties of SPI gel, including enhancing textural, rheological, and lubricating properties.

Abstract
Composite films were prepared using a flow casting method, with chitosan and pullulan as film-forming agents and Artemisia annua essential oil as the UV absorber. The utility of the composite films for preserving grape berries was assessed. The effect of the added Artemisia annua essential oil on the physicochemical properties of the composite film was investigated to determine the optimal amount of essential oil that should be added to the composite film. When the Artemisia annua essential oil content was 0.8 %, the elongation at break of the composite film increased to 71.25 ± 2.87 % and the water vapor transmission rate decreased to 0.378 ± 0.007 g‧mm/(m2‧h‧kpa). The transmittance of the composite film was almost 0 % in the UV region (200-280 nm) and <30 % in the visible light region (380-800 nm), reflecting the UV absorption by the composite film. Additionally, the composite film extended the storage time of the grape berries. Therefore, the composite film containing Artemisia annua essential oil may be a promising fruit packaging material.

Abstract
The structure used in this study is as follows: substrate/PMMA/ZnS/Ag/MoO3/NPB/Alq3/LiF/Al. Here, PMMA serves as the surface flattening layer, ZnS/Ag/MoO3 as the anode, NPB as the hole injection layer, Alq3 as the emitting layer, LiF as the electron injection layer, and aluminum as the cathode. The properties of the devices with different substrates were investigated using P4 and glass, developed in the laboratory, as well as commercially available PET. After film formation, P4 creates holes on the surface. The light field distribution of the device was calculated at wavelengths of 480 nm, 550 nm, and 620 nm using optical simulation. It was found that this microstructure contributes to light extraction. The maximum brightness, external quantum efficiency, and current efficiency of the device at a P4 thickness of 2.6 μm were 72,500 cd/m2, 1.69%, and 5.68 cd/A, respectively. However, the maximum brightness of the same structure with PET (130 μm) was 9500 cd/m2. The microstructure of the P4 substrate was found to contribute to the excellent device performance through analysis of the AFM surface morphology, film resistance, and optical simulation results. The holes formed by the P4 substrate were created solely by spin-coating the material and then placing it on a heating plate to dry, without any special processing. To confirm the reproducibility of the naturally formed holes, devices were fabricated again with three different emitting layer thicknesses. The maximum brightness, external quantum efficiency, and current efficiency of the device at an Alq3 thickness of 55 nm were 93,400 cd/m2, 1.7%, and 5.6 cd/A, respectively.

Abstract
Feather keratin from waste feather has become an attractive target to replace petroleum-based Poly (vinyl alcohol) sizes due to its easy film-forming ability, excellent adhesive property, biodegradability and low cost. However, poor water-solubility and brittleness of pure keratin films have become the bottlenecks and restricted the application of keratin as sizing agents. Therefore, water-soluble keratin was extracted by the reduction-preservation method and enhanced by saccharides in aqueous system to obtain all-green keratin-based slurry. The results showed that the keratin-based slurry exhibited improved sizing performance in the order of sucrose ≤ glucose ≤ pullulan by the moderate Maillard reaction. Among them, the fabricated pullulan-keratin sizes films had 27.86 %, 2684.08 % and 2911.31 % increment in tensile strength, elongation and work of facture compared with pure keratin sizes films. Besides, the addition of pullulan and subsequently moderate Maillard reaction improved the thermo-tenacity of keratin-based sizes, which was expected to tackle with the brittleness of pure keratin size films. In addition, novel pullulan-keratin sizes had good sizing performance and high desizing efficiency to cotton, cotton/polyester and polyester yarns and fabrics. Successful utilization of pullulan-keratin sizes will bring opportunities for high value utilization of waste feather and promote the green and low-carbon development of textile industry.

Abstract
The application of edible films in food packaging is limited due to their poor functional properties. Cold plasma treatment (CPT) is an emerging technology for the modification of edible films. In this study, edible films were developed from different ratios of wild almond protein isolate (WAPI) and Persian gum (PG). The characterization of films revealed that the sample containing 90 % WAPI and 10 % PG had the highest elongation at break (E), the highest tensile strength (TS), and the lowest water vapor permeability (WVP). Therefore, it was selected as having the best WAPI:PG ratio and exposed to CPT for 5, 10, and 15 min. The results revealed that the application of CPT significantly increased the thickness, TS, and E of edible films, while WVP and solubility were not affected. FTIR spectra showed slight increases in peak intensities at 1628, 1538, and 1400 cm-1. The micrographs revealed that the roughness of composite films increased with increased cold plasma treatment time. In general, edible films treated by CPT for 10 min demonstrated the best functional properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hsian-tsao gum (HG) has unique gel-promoting and nutritional properties; however, its use in processed foods is limited to starchy foods, partially due to a lack of knowledge related to its interaction with proteins. This study elucidated the interaction mechanism of heat-induced gelatin (G) (50 g kg-1 ) gel fortified with HG (0 ~ 20 g kg-1 ) using rheology, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), large deformation tests, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS Heating promoted synergistic interactions between G and more HG molecules with enhanced apparent viscosity and higher storage modulus G' than loss modulus G″, thus shortening the gel time (tg ) of G-HG sols into gels. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and DSC also confirmed the chemical interactions that occurred, facilitating the formation of β-sheet structures of G. The microstructure of G gradually formed separate, coarse strands, and aggregated as HG was added, as observed by CLSM and SEM. This accelerated the gel formation rate and changed the textural properties. Although HG caused a disruptive decrease in the helix structure of G, it was possible to compensate for this by accelerating synergistic interactions, including depletion attractions and Maillard reactions, by heating. CONCLUSION Hsian-tsao gum interacted synergistically with G as a result of heating and this accelerated the gel formation rate and improved the gel properties. Novel complex gels could be designed by blending HG to improve the gel properties of G in the heat processing of the food gel formulation. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This work focuses on studying the preparation, characterization (physical, mechanical, optical, and morphological properties as well as antioxidant and antimicrobial activities) and packaging application of chitosan (CH)-based gel films containing varying empty green pea pod extract (EPPE) concentrations (0, 1, 3, and 5% w/w). The experiments revealed that adding EPPE to CH increased the thickness (from 0.132 ± 0.08 to 0.216 ± 0.08 mm), density (from 1.13 ± 0.02 to 1.94 ± 0.02 g/cm3), and opacity (from 0.71 ± 0.02 to 1.23 ± 0.04), while decreasing the water vapour permeability, water solubility, oil absorption ratio, and whiteness index from 2.34 to 1.08 × 10-10 g-1 s-1 pa-1, from 29.40 ± 1.23 to 18.75 ± 1.94%, from 0.31 ± 0.006 to 0.08 ± 0.001%, and from 88.10 ± 0.43 to 77.53 ± 0.48, respectively. The EPPE films had better tensile strength (maximum of 26.87 ± 1.38 MPa), elongation percentage (maximum of 58.64 ± 3.00%), biodegradability (maximum of 48.61% after 3 weeks), and migration percentages than the pure CH-gel film. With the addition of EPPE, the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the film improved. SEM revealed that as EPPE concentration increased, agglomerates formed within the films. Moreover, compared to control samples, packing corn oil in CH-based EPPE gel films slowed the rise of thiobarbituric acid and peroxide values. As an industrial application, CH-based EPPE films have the potential to be beneficial in food packaging.

Abstract
We use polyethylene glycol as an additive to explore how the hydrogen bonding of this additive changes the properties of SA8 blended sulfonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK) composite films. We mixed a 5%wt polyethylene glycol solution into a 12.5%wt SA8 solution, and then prepared a film with a total weight of 40 g at a ratio of 1:99. The SA8 (PEG) solution was prepared and then mixed with 5%wt SPEEK solution, and a film-forming solution with a total weight of 8g in different mixing ratios was created. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was mixed into the sulfonated polyarylether polymer SA8 to form physical cross-linking. Therefore, the sulfonated polyether ether ketone SPEEK was mixed in, and it exhibited good thermal stability and dimensional stability. However, there was some decrease in proton conductivity as the proportion of SPEEK increased. Although SPEEK mixed with sulfonated polymer reduces the proton conductivity, the physical cross-linking of PEG can improve the proton conductivity of the composite membrane, and adding SPEEK can not only solve the problem of the high sulfonation film swelling phenomenon, it can also improve the dimensional stability of the film through the hydrogen bonding force of PEG and obtain a composite film with excellent properties.

Abstract
The objective of present study was to investigate the effect of incorporation of varying concentrations (2% to 14%) of Tragacanth gum (TG) to alginate/aloe vera composite films to enhance their functional properties. The resulting films were investigated for their mechanical, barrier, optical properties and biodegradability. The WVP, swelling capacity and thickness of films increased significantly by the addition of TG while film solubility was dropped at higher concentration of TG. It was observed that TG acted as an efficient reinforcing agent for enhancing the strength and flexibility of the films. The tensile strength (TS) of films increased more than threefold as compared to control, reaching a maximum value 67.64 N/mm2at 12% concentration of TG. Colour properties were affected by the addition of TG as the higher the concentration, the darker the films.

Abstract
Mesona chinensis Benth (MCB) is an important medicinal and edible plant in Southern China and Southeast Asian countries. Chloroplast (cp) genome is usually used for plant phylogeny, species identification, and chloroplast genetic engineering. To characterize the cp genome and determine the evolutionary position and perform the genetic diversity analysis of MCB, we sequence and characterize the MCB cp genome. The results show that the cp genome of MCB is a single circular molecule with a length of 152,635 bp. It is a typical quadripartite structure, comprising a large single-copy region (LSC, 83,514 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 17,751 bp) separated by two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 51,370 bp). It encodes 129 unique genes, including 84 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 37 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 8 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). Altogether 127 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are identified in the MCB cp genome with 86.61% of mononucleotide repeats. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that MCB is most closely related to Ocimum basilicum based on the whole cp genomes. Several highly divergent regions are found, such as trnH_psbA, rps16_trnQ, trnS_trnG, trnE_trnT, psaA_ycf3, rpl32_trnL, ccsA_ndhD, ndhG_ndhI, and rps15_ycf1, which can be proposed for use as DNA barcode regions. Genetic diversity analysis unveils a relatively narrow genetic basis of MCB germplasm resources. Therefore, the innovative breeding of MCB is very urgent and necessary in future research.

Abstract
Mesona chinensis Benth (MCB) is an important Chinese herbal medicine. The plant factories might be one of the ways to solve the shortage of MCB supply. In this study, the MCB seedlings were treated under the red (R) and blue (B) lights in the plant factory. Results showed that the red light promoted the growth and development of MCB in comparison with the blue light. Under the red-light condition, the biomass, plant height, and root characteristics were significantly higher than those under blue-light condition, while the soil and plant analyzer development (SPAD) under the red-light treatment was significantly lower than that under the blue-light treatment. Red light also significantly promoted the content of soluble sugar and pectin of MCB compared with blue light. Transcriptome analysis showed that a total of 4,165 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected including 2,034 upregulated and 2,131 downregulated. Of these, 1,112 DEGs including 410 upregulated and 702 downregulated genes were associated with 111 pathways. Moreover, a total of 8,723 differentially expressed transcription factors (TFs) were identified in R vs. B, and these TFs were distributed in 56 gene families. Metabonomic results revealed that a total of 184 metabolites and 99 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) (42 upregulated and 57 downregulated) were identified in the red- and blue-light treatments. Integrative analysis of transcriptome and metabolome unveiled that a total of 24 pathways included 70 compounds (metabolites) and were associated with 28 unigenes. In particular, these pathways included starch and sucrose metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, cysteine and methionine metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and pentose and glucuronate interconversions. The unigenes included asparagine synthetase (AS), thymidine kinase (TK), alpha, alpha-trehalose-phosphate synthase (TPS), phosphatase IMPL1 (IMPL1), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (D4R), and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase-like 6 (4CL6), bifunctional aspartokinase-homoserine dehydrogenase 1 (thrA), and abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase 2 isoform X1 (ABA8). It was indicated that these pathways and genes might play important roles in the growth and development of MCB. This study laid a foundation for the future research of MCB.

Abstract
Whey-protein-isolate-based composite hydrogels with encapsulated black carrot (Daucus carota) extract were prepared by heat-induced gelation. The hydrogels were blended with gum tragacanth, pectin and xanthan gum polysaccharides for modulating their properties. 1H spin-lattice relaxation experiments were performed in a broad frequency range, from 4 kHz to 30 MHz, to obtain insight into the influence of the different polysaccharides and of the presence of black carrot on dynamical properties of water molecules in the hydrogel network. The 1H spin-lattice relaxation data were decomposed into relaxation contributions associated with confined and free water fractions. The population of the confined water fraction and the value of the translation diffusion coefficient of water molecules in the vicinity of the macromolecular network were quantitatively determined on the basis of the relaxation data. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the translation diffusion is highly anisotropic (two-dimensional, 2D).

Abstract
In this study, we prepared new antioxidant active plastic bottle caps by incorporating butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and 2% (w/w) white masterbatch in high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry revealed that the antioxidants and HDPE were uniformly mixed with noncovalent bonding. In addition, the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test revealed that the change in melting point and initial extrapolation temperature of the antioxidant active caps was not significant. Sensory evaluation and removal torque tests validated the suitability of the antioxidant active plastic bottle caps in industrial application. The antioxidant activity increased with a greater concentration of BHA and BHT incorporated in both antioxidant active caps (p < 0.05) and with more impact on the BHA cap compared to BHT cap in terms of antioxidant activity. Migration experiments for 10 days at 40 °C and 2 h at 70 °C showed that active antioxidants in the plastic bottle cap were more easily released into fatty foods and milk products that are highly sensitive to oxidation, and the migration of BHA and BHT did not exceed the maximum amount specified in (EC) No 1333/2008 (<200 mg/kg). As such, the antioxidant active plastic bottle caps inhibited oxidation, thereby ensuring higher food quality.

Effect of glucose substitution by low-molecular weight chitosan-derivatives on functional, structural and antioxidant properties of maillard reaction-crosslinked chitosan-based films.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of different temperatures, incubation times and types of reducing sugars, including glucose and different low molecular weight (Mw) chito-oligosaccharides (COS) with varying acetylation degree (AD), on the extent of Maillard reaction (MR) on chitosan-based films were studied. Interestingly, an improvement of structural and functional properties of all MR-crosslinked films was noted, which is more pronounced by heating at higher temperature and exposure time. These findings were proved through Fourier-transform infrared and X-ray diffraction analyses. In addition, color change and Ultraviolet spectra demonstrate that glucose addition provides the high extent of MR, followed by COS1 (Mw < 4.4 kDa; AD, 18.20%) and COS2 (Mw < 4.4 kDa; AD, 10.63%). These results were confirmed by enhanced water resistance and thermal properties. Moreover, MR-chitosan/COS films showed the highest mechanical properties, whereas, glucose-loaded films were brittle, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy micrographs. Furthermore, MR-chitosan/COS1 films exhibited the better antioxidant behavior followed by chitosan/glucose and chitosan/COS2 films, mainly at higher heating-conditions. Thereby, MR-crosslinked chitosan/COS based films were attractive to be applied as functional and active coating-materials in various fields.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) on the basic properties of soy protein isolate films, and especially to propose the corresponding formation mechanism. Tensile strength, barrier properties, and water resistance were effectively improved after the formation of nanocomposite films. Incorporating CNC could restrict water mobility and improve the viscoelastic properties of films. Appropriate content of CNC (0.50% and 0.75%) promoted the construction of a more homogeneous and compact film structure, which may be attributed to the CNC-induced conformational modifications and the enhanced hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions. While excessive CNC (1.00%) was not conducive to the integrity and continuity of film structures, resulting in the weakened functional properties. The obtained films were able to decrease total viable counts and total volatile basic nitrogen of stored pork, and extend the shelf-life of strawberry. This work offers a theoretical basis for the application of CNC in packaging industry.

Abstract
An active film was prepared by corn starch (CS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carvacrol nanoemulsions (CNE). The microstructure and properties of CNE/corn starch/PVA (CNE/CSP) films were characterized and investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the uniform distribution of CNE and discontinuity of the film matrix. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and rheological analysis indicated that CNE could weaken molecular interaction of the film matrix. X-ray diffraction (XRD) show that the films are amorphous and CNE has no effect on crystal structure of the films. Incorporation of CNE significantly increased the tensile strength, Young's modulus, elongation at break, barrier (water vapor and ultraviolet), antioxidant and antifungal activity. With the CNE incorporated, the optimal tensile strength, Young's modulus, elongation at break and antioxidant activity of the films can reach 12 MPa, 11 MPa, 133%, 81%, respectively. Minimum water vapor permeability was 3.1 × 10-12 gd-1m-1Pa-1. Notably, films incorporated with CNE (≥20%) had good DPPH free radical scavenging ability (>50%) when stored up to 6 days. Films with 25% CNE exhibited excellent antifungal activity against Trichoderma sp. and its inhibitory zone was 47 mm. Overall, the CSP films loaded with CNE (>15%) could be used as food packing materials with good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to explore the effect of various molecular weight (Mw) chitosan depolymerization products (CDP) on the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and chitosan/AgNPs blend films production. Produced AgNPs, stable during 30 days in a colloïdal form, were characterized in terms of UV-vis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. AgNPs displayed interesting antibacterial and antioxidant properties that were affected by the physicochemical properties of used chitosans. Interestingly, CDP may be used for the preparation of bioactive and stable AgNPs. Additionally, chitosan/AgNPs blend films were prepared and characterized in terms of physiochemical and biological properties. As compared to the chitosan film, various properties were enhanced in the chitosan/AgNPs blend films, including light barrier, opacity, elongation at break, as well as bioactivities, thus suggesting that films could be used as novel alternative food packaging applications.

Abstract
In the present study, the antioxidant chitosan (CS)-banana peels extract (BPE) composite film was developed. The different content of BPE (4%, 8% and 12%) was added to the CS film not only as the antioxidant but also as the cross-linking. The CS, CS-4% BPE, CS-8% BPE and CS-12% BPE films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The physical and mechanical properties possessed by the CS and CS-BPE films were compared as well, and the CS-4 %BPE composite film exhibited the most excellent properties. The decline in moisture contents, water solubility and water vapor permeability of CS-BPE composite film indicated the reduced hydrophilicity. Moreover, the CS-BPE composite film exhibited excellent antioxidant activity in different food simulants. Finally, the optimal concentration of CS-BPE coating treatment was identified and applied to apple fruit, and the results showed that CS-BPE coating was more capable of improving the postharvest quality of apple fruit than CS coating. This study evidences the promising nature of CS-BPE composite film and coating as a desirable alternative for active packaging and it is believed as conducive to valorization of banana peel by-products for allied applications.

Abstract
Health hazards associated with usage of plastic films for food preservation demands for development of active films from non-toxic and antioxidant rich bio-sources. The reported work highlights the development, characterization and application studies of chitosan films enhanced for their antioxidant activity by mango leaf extract (MLE) incorporation. Effect of MLE variation (1-5%) on the morphology, optical nature, water exposure and mechanical characteristics of the chitosan-MLE composite films was studied. Increase in the MLE concentration resulted in films with increased thickness and decreased moisture content. Contact angle, water solubility and vapor permeability analysis demonstrated the reduced hydrophilicity and water vapor penetrability of the films due to MLE inclusion. MLE films possessed better tensile strength (maximum of 23.06 ± 0.19 MPa) with reduced elongation ratio than the pure chitosan film (18.14 ± 0.72 MPa). Antioxidants assessment in terms of total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging, ferric reducing power and ABTS radical scavenging showed improved antioxidant activity with the incremental amounts of MLE in the chitosan films. Microscopic studies revealed the smooth, compact and dense nature of the MLE-chitosan films favouring low oxygen transport rates. Application studies to cashew nuts preservation for 28 days storage indicated 56% higher oxidation resistance for the 5% MLE film than a commercial polyamide/polyethylene film. Results highlight the potential and promising nature of MLE impregnated chitosan films as suitable alternative for active packaging films for food preservation.

Abstract
Insulin entrapped alginate-gum tragacanth (ALG-GT) hydrogels at different ALG replacement ratios (100, 75, 50, 25) were prepared through an ionotropic gelation method, followed by chitosan (CH) polyelectrolyte complexation. A mild gelation process without the use of harsh chemicals was proposed to improve insulin efficiency. Retention of almost the full amount of entrapped insulin in a simulated gastric environment and sustained insulin release in simulated intestinal buffer indicated the pH sensitivity of the gels. Insulin release from hydrogels with different formulations showed significant differences ( p < 0.05). Time domain (TD) NMR relaxometry experiments also showed the differences for different formulations, and the presence of CH revealed that ALG-GT gel formulation could be used as an oral insulin carrier at optimum concentrations. The hydrogels formulated from biodegradable, biocompatible, and nontoxic natural polymers were seen as promising devices for potential oral insulin delivery.
