Abstract
Zanthoxylum bungeanum essential oil (ZBEO) Pickering emulsion was incorporated into rice protein (RP)/sodium alginate (SA)-based film to enhance the antioxidant activity and compatibility. With increasing ZBEO content from 2 % to 4 %, the average size of ZBEO Pickering emulsion ranged from 124.28 to 165.65 nm. The best mechanical property with a tensile strength of 14.56 MPa and hydrophobicity with a water vapor permeability of 2.11 × 10-12 g⋅cm-1⋅s-1⋅Pa-1 of emulsion film were achieved with 0.8 % ZBEO. In addition, the loss of ZBEO in the emulsion films was reduced by 11-14 %. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of emulsion film with 1.2 % ZBEO was 65.54 % in 95 % ethanol. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation showed that electrostatic interactions played a leading role in film formation. Overall, ZBEO Pickering emulsion is an effective method to enhance the antioxidant activity, mechanical strength and hydrophobicity of RP/SA film.

A starch/gelatin-based Halochromic film with black currant anthocyanin and Nanocellulose-stabilized cinnamon essential oil Pickering emulsion: Towards real-time Salmon freshness assessment. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133329. [PMID: 38908640 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133329] [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: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Neoterically, food packaging systems designed solely for prolonging shelf life or monitoring freshness could not fulfil the dynamic demands of consumers. In this current investigation, using the solvent casting method, a versatile halochromic indicator was created by integrating black currant anthocyanin and cinnamon essential oil-loaded Pickering emulsion into a starch/gelatin matrix. The resulting indicator film underwent scrutiny for its structural, pH-sensitive, antioxidant, and antimicrobial attributes. Unexpectedly, the amalgamation of anthocyanin and essential oil led to decreased antioxidant activity, dropping from 73.23 ± 2.17 to 28.87 ± 2.50 mg Trolox equivalent/g sample. Additionally, no discernible antimicrobial properties were detected in the composite film sample against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Fourier transform infrared analyses unveiled robust intermolecular interactions among the film-forming components, providing insights into the observed antagonistic effect. The indicator film displayed distinctive colour changes corresponding to the fresh (greyish-brown), onset of decomposition (khaki), and spoiled (dark green) stages of the stored fish sample. This highlights its promising potential for providing real-time indications of food spoilage. These findings are important for the efficient design of composite films incorporating anthocyanins and essential oils. They serve as a guide towards their potential use as multifunctional packaging materials in the food industry.

Accelerated full-thickness skin wound tissue regeneration by self-crosslinked chitosan hydrogel films reinforced by oxidized CNC-AgNPs stabilized Pickering emulsion for quercetin delivery. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:323. [PMID: 38849931 PMCID: PMC11162036 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02596-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The non-toxic self-crosslinked hydrogel films designed from biocompatible materials allow for controlled drug release and have gathered remarkable attention from healthcare professionals as wound dressing materials. Thus, in the current study the chitosan (CS) film is infused with oil-in-water Pickering emulsion (PE) loaded with bioactive compound quercetin (Qu) and stabilized by dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystal-silver nanoparticles (DCNC-AgNPs). The DCNC-AgNPs play a dual role in stabilizing PE and are involved in the self-crosslinking with CS films. Also, this film could combine the advantage of the controlled release and synergistic wound-healing effect of Qu and AgNPs. RESULTS The DCNC-AgNPs were synthesized using sodium periodate oxidation of CNC. The DCNC-AgNPs were used to stabilize oil-in-water PE loaded with Qu in its oil phase by high speed homogenization. Stable PEs were prepared by 20% v/v oil: water ratio with maximum encapsulation of Qu in the oil phase. The Qu-loaded PE was then added to CS solution (50% v/v) to prepare self-crosslinked films (CS-PE-Qu). After grafting CS films with PE, the surface and cross-sectional SEM images show an inter-penetrated network within the matrix between DCNC and CS due to the formation of a Schiff base bond between the reactive aldehyde groups of DCNC-AgNPs and amino groups of CS. Further, the addition of glycerol influenced the extensibility, swelling ratio, and drug release of the films. The fabricated CS-PE-Qu films were analyzed for their wound healing and tissue regeneration potential using cell scratch assay and full-thickness excisional skin wound model in mice. The as-fabricated CS-PE-Qu films showed great biocompatibility, increased HaCat cell migration, and promoted collagen synthesis in HDFa cells. In addition, the CS-PE-Qu films exhibited non-hemolysis and improved wound closure rate in mice compared to CS, CS-Qu, and CS-blank PE. The H&E staining of the wounded skin tissue indicated the wounded tissue regeneration in CS-PE-Qu films treated mice. CONCLUSION Results obtained here confirm the wound healing benefits of CS-PE-Qu films and project them as promising biocompatible material and well suited for full-thickness wound healing in clinical applications.

Abstract
In this study, Perilla essential oil (PEO) Pickering emulsions, prepared using soybean protein isolate-chitosan nanoparticles (SPI-CSNPs) as emulsifiers (SCEO), were used to improve the performance of bacterial cellulose/polyvinyl alcohol (BC/PVA) films for application in chilled beef preservation. The SCEO has a smaller particle size (185 nm), higher viscosity, a more uniform dispersion and was more stable at an oil phase volume fraction of 80 %. An increase in the films' surface roughness and in the hydrogen bonding between SCEO and the films' matrix was also observed, resulting in a lower tensile strength (TS, 94.75-62.02 MPa) and higher elongation at break (EAB, 26.78-55.62 %). Moreover, the thermal stability, water vapor permeability, antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the composite films improved as the SCEO content increased. Furthermore, the Pickering emulsion method was effective in preventing the loss of PEO during storage. Overall, one particular composite film, BP/SCEO3, could prolong the shelf life of chilled beef by up to 14 days, and hence was promising for food preservation.

Abstract
With the gradual increase in environmental awareness and the growing demand for food safety, sustainable and environmentally friendly cellulose-based materials have become a promising alternative to petroleum-based plastics. However, in practice, packaging materials prepared from cellulose-based materials still have some unsatisfactory properties, such as monofunctionality, low transparency, and lack of UV shielding, antibacterial or antioxidant properties. Herein, a novel synthetic strategy is proposed in this paper, specifically, tannic acid (TA), a green natural extract with antibacterial and antioxidant properties, is used as a plasticizer and cross-linker, and oxidized cellulose nanocellulose (TOCN) modified with folic acid (FA) grafting is blended with TA, and cellulose-based biomass thin films with ultraviolet (UV) shielding, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties have been successfully prepared by using a simple vacuum-assisted filtration. The experimental results showed that the films could completely block ultraviolet light at wavelengths of 200-400 nm while providing 81.47 % transparency in the visible spectrum, while the introduction of TA conferred excellent antibacterial and antioxidant capabilities with antioxidant activity of up to 95 %, and also resulted in films with excellent mechanical properties. Therefore, this work provides ideas for the design and manufacture of competitive biomass green packaging materials, laying the foundation for future applications in food packaging.

Abstract
Nowadays food safety and protection are a growing concern for food producers and food industry. The stability of food-grade materials is key in food processing and shelf life. Pickering emulsions (PEs) have gained significant attention in food regimes owing to their stability enhancement of food specimens. PE can be developed by high and low-energy methods. The use of PE in the food sector is completely safe as it uses solid biodegradable particles to stabilize the oil in water and it also acts as an excellent carrier of essential oils (EOs). EOs are useful functional ingredients, the inclusion of EOs in the packaging film or coating formulation significantly helps in the improvement of the shelf life of the packed food item. The highly volatile nature, limited solubility and ease of oxidation in light of EOs restricts their direct use in packaging. In this context, the use of PEs of EOs is suitable to overcome most of the challenges, Therefore, recently there have been many papers published on PEs of EOs including active packaging film and coatings and the obtained results are promising. The current review amalgamates these studies to inform about the chemistry of PEs followed by types of stabilizers, factors affecting the stability and different high and low-energy manufacturing methods. Finally, the review summarizes the recent advancement in PEs-added packaging film and their application in the enhancement of shelf life of food.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare a novel emulsion film with high stability, using soy protein-derived amyloid fibrils (SAFs) as an emulsifier incorporating clove essential oil (CEO) as the active component, and the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to stabilize the system. The results demonstrated that SAFs can successfully stabilize CEO. Emulsion prepared by SAFS and CEO (SAC) exhibited a small droplet size and better dispersibility compared with SPI and CEO (SC) emulsion. According to FT-IR results, PVA addition increased the hydrogen bond interactions among emulsion film components, thus further reinforcing the protein matrix, increasing the tensile strength (TS) (41.18 MPa) and elongation at break (E) (121.62 %) of the films. The uniform appearance of SAC-PVA (SACP) emulsion films was confirmed by SEM images. Furthermore, SACP emulsion films show distinctive barrier properties, optical properties, and outstanding antioxidant properties. Finally, emulsion films exhibited excellent preservation of strawberries, resulting in an effective decline of the decay rate.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to produce a biodegradable food packaging material that reduces environmental pollution and protects food safety. The effects of total solids content, substrate ratio, polyphenol content, and magnetic stirring time on bovine bone gelatin/sodium carboxymethylcellulose nanoemulsion (BBG/SCMC-NE) were investigated using particle size, PDI, turbidity, rheological properties, and zeta potential as evaluation indexes. The micro, structural, antioxidant, encapsulation, and release properties were characterized after deriving its optimal preparation process. The results showed that the nanoemulsion was optimally prepared with a total solids content of 2%, a substrate ratio of 9:1, a polyphenol content of 0.2%, and a magnetic stirring time of 60 min. SEM showed that the nanoemulsion showed a dense and uniform reticulated structure. FTIR and XRD results showed that covalent cross-linking of proteins and polysaccharides altered the structure of gelatin molecular chains to a more compact form but did not change its semi-crystalline structure. DSC showed that the 9:1 BBG/SCMC-NE had a higher thermal denaturation temperature and greater thermal stability, and its DPPH scavenging rate could reach 79.25% and encapsulation rate up to 90.88%, with excellent slow-release performance. The results of the study provide basic guidance for the preparation of stable active food packaging with excellent properties.

Abstract
The stabilization of Pickering emulsions using micro/nanoparticles has gained significant attention due to their wide range of potential applications in industries such as cosmetics, food, catalysis, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. There is a growing demand for the development of environmentally friendly micro/nanoparticles to create stable Pickering emulsions. Naturally occurring polysaccharides like pectin offer promising options as they can assemble at oil/water interfaces. This polysaccharide is considered a green candidate because of its biodegradability and renewable nature. The physicochemical properties of micro/nanoparticles, influenced by fabrication methods and post-modification techniques, greatly impact the characteristics and applications of the resulting Pickering emulsions. This review focuses on recent advancements in Pickering emulsions stabilized by pectin-based micro/nanoparticles, as well as the application of functional materials in delivery systems, bio-based films and 3D printing using these emulsions as templates. The effects of micro/nanoparticle properties on the characteristics of Pickering emulsions and their applications are discussed. Additionally, the obstacles that currently hinder the practical implementation of pectin-based micro/nanoparticles and Pickering emulsions, along with future prospects for their development, are addressed.

Abstract
The development of films based on natural components has demonstrated their potential for food preservation. In this research, the effect of the inclusion of white pepper oleoresin (WPO) in a film made from cassava starch and sodium alginate (FWPO) on the antimicrobial, physicochemical, mechanical, optical, and structural properties was evaluated. The films were formulated with different concentrations of WPO (0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%). The results obtained indicated that the incorporation of WPO in the film increased the antioxidant activity against the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH), and an inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria was also observed. Elongation at break (EB), water vapor permeability (WVP), moisture content, solubility, and luminosity (L*) decreased significantly (p < 0.05) with the addition of WPO. On the other hand, the tensile strength (TS), the value of b* (tendency toward yellow) and the opacity increased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed a smooth, uniform appearance, and continuous dispersion between cassava starch, alginate and WPO. FTIR spectra showed the interactions between the film components. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that the addition of WPO did not affect the structural stability of the films. The results obtained indicate the possible use of WPO in the packaging of food products, contributing to the improvement of food quality and safety.

Abstract
Pickering emulsion is a type of emulsion that uses solid particles or colloidal particles as emulsifiers rather than surfactants to adhere at oil-water interface. Pickering emulsions have gathered significant research attention recently due to their excellent stability and wide range of potential uses compared to traditional emulsions. Major advancements have been made in development of innovative Pickering emulsions using different colloidal particles by various techniques including homogenization, emulsification and ultrasonication. Use of biopolymer particles gives Pickering emulsions a more escalating possibilities. In this review paper, we seek to present a critical overview of development in food-grade particles that have been utilized to create Pickering emulsions with a focus on techniques and application of Pickering emulsions. Particularly, we have evaluated protein, lipid, polysaccharide-based particles and microalgal proteins that have emerged in recent years with respect to their potential to stabilize and add novel functionalities to Pickering emulsions. Some preparation methods of Pickering emulsions in brief, applications of Pickering emulsions are also highlighted. Encapsulation and delivery of bioactive compounds, fat substitutes, film formation and catalysis are potential applications of Pickering emulsions. Pickering double emulsions, nutraceutical and bioactive co-delivery, and preparation of porous materials are among research trends of food-grade Pickering emulsions.

Abedi E, Sayadi M, Oliyaei N. Fabrication and characterization of emulsion-based edible film containing cinnamon essential oil using chia seed mucilage. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131173. [PMID: 38554904 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131173] [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: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Chia seed mucilage (CSM) film incorporated with 2, 4, and 6 % (w/w) nanoemulsion of cinnamon essential oil (CSM-2, CSM-4, CSM-6) were developed, and their physicochemical, mechanical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties were determined. According to the results, cinnamon EO nanoemulsion (CEN) had droplet size 196.07 ± 1.39 nm with PDI 0.47 ± 0.04. Moreover, CSM film had higher water solubility (99.37 ± 0.05 %) and WVP (8.55 ± 1.10 g/kPa h m2) than reinforced CSM films with CENCEN. The lowest water solubility (98.02 ± 0.01 %) and WVP (3.75 ± 0.80 g/kPa h m2) was observed in CSM-6 film. Moreover, the addition of CEN improved the homogeneity and density of films and the smoothness of the surface, being observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy also confirmed the incorporation of CEN within the film matrix. The CSM films' antioxidant (DPPH radical scavenging power) and antimicrobial (against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) properties of CSM films were notably enhanced with the inclusion of CEN in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanical (tensile strength and elongation at break) of CSM films also was affected by the addition of CEN, TS decreased, and EAB increased (p < 0.05). The lowest TS (20.63 ± 1.39 MPa) and highest EAB (3.36 ± 0.61 %) was observed in CSM-4 film. However, CSM film was relatively dark with low opacity, and adding CEN slightly increased lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) parameters. The superior antioxidant and barrier characteristics of the CSM edible film incorporated with CEN make it a potential candidate for product packaging and shelf-life extension.

Abstract
The use of biopolymers as matrices and anthocyanins as pH-sensing indicators has generated increasing interest in freshness detection. Nevertheless, the weak mechanical properties and color stability of biopolymer-based smart packaging systems restrict their practicality. In this study, a nanocellulose hydrogel colorimetric film with enhanced stretchability, antifatigue properties, and color stability was prepared using soy hull nanocellulose (SHNC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), and anthocyanin (Anth) as raw materials. This hydrogel colorimetric film was used to detect beef freshness. The structure and properties (e.g., mechanical, thermal stability and hydrophobicity) of these hydrogel colorimetric films were characterized using different techniques. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of hydrogen and ester bonds in the hydrogel colorimetric films, whereas scanning electron microscopy revealed the fish scale-like and honeycomb network structure of the hydrogel colorimetric films. Mechanical testing demonstrated that the SHNC/PVA/SA/Anth-2 hydrogel colorimetric film exhibited excellent tensile properties (elongation = 261 %), viscoelasticity (storage modulus of 11.25 kPa), and mechanical strength (tensile strength = 154 kPa), and the hydrogel colorimetric film exhibited excellent mechanical properties after repeated tensile tests. Moreover, the hydrogel colorimetric film had high transparency, excellent anti-UV linearity, thermal stability and hydrophobicity, and had displayed visually discernible color response to pH buffer solution and volatile NH3 by naked eyes, which was highly correlated with the TVB-N and pH values. Notably, the release of anthocyanin in distilled water decreased from 81.23 % to 19.87 %. The designed SHNC/PVA/SA/Anth hydrogel colorimetric films exhibited potential application as smart packaging film or gas-sensing labels in monitoring the freshness of meat products.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130765. [PMID: 38462119 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130765] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Essential oils (EOs) are liquid extracts derived from various parts of herbal or medicinal plants. They are widely accepted in food packaging due to their bioactive components, which exhibit remarkable antioxidant and antimicrobial properties against various pathogenic and food spoilage microorganisms. However, the functional efficacy of EOs is hindered by the high volatility of their bioactive compounds, leading to rapid release. Combining biopolymers with EOs forms a complex network within the polymeric matrix, reducing the volatility of EOs, controlling their release, and enhancing thermal and mechanical stability, favoring their application in food packaging or processing industries. This study presents a comprehensive overview of techniques used to encapsulate EOs, the natural polymers employed to load EOs, and the functional properties of EOs-loaded biopolymeric particles, along with their potential antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits. Additionally, a thorough discussion is provided on the widespread application of EOs-loaded biopolymers in the food industries. However, research on their utilization in confectionery processing, such as biscuits, chocolates, and others, remains limited. Further studies can be conducted to explore and expand the applications of EOs-loaded biopolymeric particles in food processing industries.

Abstract
This study evaluated the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of clove essential oil (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 % v/v) nanoemulsion (CEON) loaded chitosan-based films. With the increasing concentrations of the CEON, the thickness, b* and ΔE values of the films increased significantly (P < 0.05), while L* and light transmission dropped noticeably (P < 0.05). The hydrogen bonds formed between the CEON and chitosan could be demonstrated through Fourier-transform infrared spectra, indicating their good compatibility and intermolecular interactions. Furthermore, the added CEON considerably reduced the crystallinity and resulted in a porous structure of the films, as observed through X-ray diffraction plots and scanning electron microscopy images, respectively. This eventually led to a drop in both tensile strength and moisture content of the films. Moreover, the antioxidant properties were significantly enhanced (P < 0.05) with the increase in the amount of clove essential oil (CEO) due to the encapsulation of CEO by the nanoemulsion. Films containing 0.6 % CEO had higher elongation at break, higher water contact angle, lower water solubility, lower water vapor permeability, and lower oxygen permeability than the other films; therefore, such films are promising for application in meat preservation.

Abstract
Enormous amounts of food resources are annually wasted because of microbial contamination, highlighting the critical role of effective food packaging in preventing such losses. However, traditional food packaging faces several limitations, such as low mechanical strength, poor fatigue resistance, and low water retention. In this study, we aimed to prepare nanocellulose hydrogels with enhanced stretchability, fatigue resistance, high water retention, and antibacterial properties using soy hull nanocellulose (SHNC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), and tannic acid (TA) as raw materials. These hydrogels were applied in food packaging to extend the shelf life of refrigerated chicken. The structure and properties (e.g., mechanical, antibacterial, and barrier properties) of these hydrogels were characterized using different techniques. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of hydrogen and ester bonds in the hydrogels, whereas scanning electron microscopy revealed the three-dimensional network structure of the hydrogels. Mechanical testing demonstrated that the SHNC/PVA/SA/TA-2 hydrogel exhibited excellent tensile properties (elongation = 160 %), viscoelasticity (storage modulus of 1000 Pa), and mechanical strength (compressive strength = 10 kPa; tensile strength = 0.35 MPa). Moreover, under weak acidic and alkaline conditions, the ester bonds of the hydrogel broke down with an increase in pH, improving its swelling and release properties. The SHNC/PVA/SA/TA-2 hydrogel displayed an equilibrium swelling ratio exceeding 300 %, with a release rate of >80 % for the bioactive substance TA. Notably, antibacterial testing showed that the SHNC/PVA/SA/TA-2 hydrogel effectively deactivated Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, prolonging the shelf life of refrigerated chicken to 10 d. Therefore, the SHNC/PVA/SA/TA hydrogels can be used in food packaging to extend the shelf life of refrigerated meat products. Their cost-effectiveness and simple preparation make them suitable for various applications in the food industry.

Abstract
This paper investigates the addition of lecithin-emulsified black seed oil (BSO) nanoemulsions (LNEO) and whey protein isolate-stabilized Pickering emulsions (WPEO) to soy protein isolate (SPI)-based films and their effect on improving the shelf life of bread slices. The half-life of antioxidant activity, water vapor permeability, biodegradability, density, color difference, and film thickness significantly increased (p < .05) when BSO was added. However, the incorporation of BSO significantly reduced the solubility, tensile strength, strain to break (except for WPEO), and transparency (p < .05) of the samples. The interaction between SPI film and BSO-loaded nanocarriers, as well as the morphological properties of films, was evaluated using FT-IR and FE-SEM. SPI-based films containing LNEO-5% and WPEO-5% were selected based on their mechanical and barrier properties. The effect of films on the shelf life of bread slices was investigated for 17 days of storage. LNEO samples obtained the most acceptable results in the bread in terms of sensory evaluation and color properties. According to the results, bread slices packed in SPI film containing LNEO-5% showed no signs of mold growth until the 17th day of storage, whereas the sample packed in a low-density polyethylene bag began to corrupt on the 6th day. This study highlights the potential of BSO-loaded SPI films as a novel active packaging for the bakery industry.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) isolated from cotton in augmenting pectin (PEC)/konjac glucomannan (KGM) composite films containing clove essential oil (CEO) for food packaging application. The effects of CNC dosage on film properties were examined by analyzing the rheology of film-forming solutions and the mechanical, barrier, antimicrobial, and CEO-release properties of the films. Rheological and FTIR analysis revealed the enhanced interactions among the film components after CNC incorporation due to its high aspect ratio and abundant hydroxyl groups, which can also prevent CEO droplet aggregation, contributing to form a compact microstructure as confirmed by SEM and 3D surface topography observations. Consequently, the addition of CNC reinforced the polysaccharide matrix, increasing the tensile strength of the films and improving their barrier properties to water vapor. More importantly, antibacterial, controlled release and kinetic simulation experiments proved that the addition of CNC could further slow down the release rate of CEO, prolonging the antimicrobial properties of the films. PEC/KGM/CEO composite films with 15 wt% CNC was found to have relatively best comprehensive properties, which was also most effective in delaying deterioration of grape quality during the storage of 9 days at 25 °C.

Abstract
The insufficient water vapor barrier and mechanical capacity of sodium alginate (SA) film limited its application in fruit preservation. Herein, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were used to stabilize Pickering emulsion. Then, we prepared SA composite films. Ginger essential oil (GEO) was loaded as antimicrobials and antioxidants. Finally, the application on mangos were investigated. Compared to coarse emulsion, Pickering emulsion and its film-formation-solution showed more stable system and larger droplet size. The emulsion significantly changed the properties of SA film. Specifically, CNCs improved the thermal, tensile, and barrier properties of the film and GEO enhanced the ultraviolet-visible light barrier capacity. Additionally, the SA/CNC film possessed a homogeneous micromorphology which had a sustained-release effect on GEO, thus maintaining high postharvest quality and long-term bioavailability for mangos. In conclusion, the film prepared via Pickering emulsion showed satisfactory properties which had great potential in fruit preservation.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop pectin-based films by incorporating Schiff base compounds (SPS) synthesized by phenylalanine and syringaldehyde. The SEM images showed good compatibility between SPS and pectin matrix. The interaction of SPS and pectin matrix was analyzed by FTIR and XRD. Results indicated that the cross-linking effects between SPS and pectin matrix improved the thermal stability, water resistance and light shielding ability of the films. The incorporation of SPS in the films scavenged more than 80% of DPPH and ABTS free radicals, exhibited sustained antimicrobial ability against S. aureus, E. coli and B. cinerea, and showed significant color changes as pH-responsive films. Especially, the intelligent active coating/films inhibited the quality deterioration of cherry tomatoes and fresh-cut mangoes, and monitored the freshness of fresh-cut mangoes during storage. Therefore, the SPS/PE films have a potential application in maintaining fruit quality and monitoring the freshness of fresh-cut fruit.

Abstract
The economic burden of chronic wounds, the complexity of the process of tissue repair and the possibility of resistant bacterial infections, have triggered a significant research interest in the application of natural alternative therapies for wound healing. Biomolecules are intrinsically multi-active, as they affect multiple mechanisms involved in tissue repair phenomenon, including immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, cell proliferation, extra cellular matrix remodeling and angiogenesis. Chitosan features a unique combination of attributes, including intrinsic hemostatic, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties, that make it an exceptional candidate for wound management, in the development of wound dressings and scaffolds. In this study, we produced nanoemulsions (NE) loaded with SFO, characterized them, and evaluated their tissue repairing properties. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis confirmed the formation of a nanoemulsion with a droplet size of 21.12 ± 2.31 nm and a polydispersity index (PdI) of 0.159, indicating good stability for up to 90 days. To investigate the potential wound healing effects, SFO-loaded NE were applied on male C57BL/6 mice for seven consecutive days, producing a significantly higher wound closure efficiency (p < 0.05) for the group treated with SFO-loaded NE compared to the control group treated with the saline solution. This finding indicates that the SFO-loaded NE exhibits therapeutic properties that effectively promote wound healing in this experimental model. Then, SFO-loaded NE were incorporated into chitosan:polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based films. The inclusion of NE into the polymer matrix resulted in increased lipophilicity reflected by the contact angle results, while decreasing moisture absorption, water solubility, and crystallinity. Moreover, FTIR analysis confirmed the formation of new bonds between SFO-NE and the film matrix, which also impacted on porosity properties. Thermal analysis indicated a decrease in the glass transition temperature of the films due to the presence of SFO-NE, suggesting a plasticizing role of NE, confirmed by XRD results, that showed a decrease in the crystallinity of the blend films upon the addition of SFO-NE. AFM images showed no evidence of NE droplet aggregation in the Chitosan:PVA film matrix. Moisture absorption and water content decreased upon incorporation of SFO-loaded NE. Although the inclusion of NE increased hydrophobicity and water contact angle, the values remained within an acceptable range for wound healing applications. Overall, our results emphasize the significant tissue repairing properties of SFO-loaded NE and the potential of Chitosan:PVA films containing nanoencapsulated SFO as effective formulations for wound healing with notable tissue repairing properties.

Abstract
Green and environmentally friendly natural bio-based food packaging films are increasingly favored by consumers. This study incorporated carboxylated-cellulose nanocrystal stabilized oregano essential oil (OEO) Pickering emulsion and ZnO nanoparticles (ZNPs) into konjac glucomannan (KGM)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) complexes to develop active food packaging films. The effects of OEO Pickering emulsion and ZNPs on the physical, structural, and antimicrobial activities of the nanocomposite films were evaluated. The OEO Pickering emulsion had a droplet size of 48.43 ± 3.56 μm and showed excellent dispersion and stability. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction analyses suggested that the interactions between the Pickering emulsion, ZNPs and KGM/CMCS matrix were mainly through hydrogen bonding. SEM observations confirmed that the Pickering emulsion and ZNPs were well incorporated into the KGM/CMCS matrix, forming tiny pores within the nanocomposite films. The incorporation of the OEO Pickering emulsion and/or ZNPs obviously increased the light and water vapor barrier ability, thermal stability, mechanical strength and antimicrobial properties of the KGM/CMCS nanocomposite film. Notably, KGM/CMCS/ZNPs/OEO Pickering emulsion films exhibited the highest barrier, and mechanical and antimicrobial activities due to the synergistic effect between the OEO Pickering emulsion and ZNPs. These results suggest that KGM/CMCS/ZNPs/OEO Pickering emulsion films can be utilized as novel active food packaging materials to extend the shelf life of packaged foods.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to develop a blended beverage enriched with curcumin. The curcumin was incorporated within a Pickering nanoemulsion that was stabilized with nanocellulose. The nanocellulose was synthesized from coconut milk waste residue using 38 %-42 % sulfuric acid (AC) and 5 and 10 min ultrasound (UL) separately and in combination (ACU). While combined treatment showed an increase in particle size with ultrasonication time, PDI was observed to decrease. ACU with 10 min ultrasonication was further used at 0.05 %, 0.1 %, 0.2 %, and 0.3 % for stabilization of curcumin enriched Pickering nanoemulsion. The curcumin in Pickering nanoemulsion fabricated with 0.1 % of nanocellulose with an average particle size and PDI value of 259.6 nm and 0.284, respectively was found to be the most stable as compared to other Pickering nanoemulsions at different pH levels and temperatures. RP-HPLC analysis revealed that with 0.1 % of nanocellulose, the Pickering nanoemulsion was most stable at 2 pH and 63 °C temperatures. The in vitro release of curcumin from Pickering nanoemulsion added to a blended beverage in intestinal phase was 51.58 %, which was higher than the stomach phase (38.19 %). The outcomes clearly showed Pickering nanoemulsion to be a promising carrier for curcumin encapsulation in beverage.

Abstract
Marjoram is a culinary herb that has been widely employed in folk medicine and presents a high content in phenolics. Thus, the aim of this project was to design formulations to encapsulate phenolic compounds from marjoram to allow their release in the colon. For this purpose, pectin was used as an encapsulating agent, applying two different encapsulation techniques (ionic gelation and spray-drying), followed by a CaCl2 bath. The ionic gelation technique showed a higher yield (77%) compared to spray-drying (31%), and the particles obtained were smaller (267 nm). However, the microparticles obtained by spray-drying presented a higher encapsulation efficiency (93%). Moreover, spray-dried microparticles protected a higher percentage of the encapsulated phenolics from the action of gastrointestinal pHs and enzymes. Hence, the results showed that spray-drying was a more appropriate technique than ionic gelation for the encapsulation of marjoram phenolics in order to protect them during the gastrointestinal step, facilitating their arrival in the colon. These microparticles would also be suitable for inclusion in food matrices for the development of phenolic colon delivery systems.

Abstract
Pickering emulsion (PE) technology effectively addresses the issues of poor compatibility and low retention of hydrophobic active ingredients in food packaging. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize that each stage of the preparation process for PE films/coatings (PEFCs) can significantly influence their functional properties. With the fundamental considerations of environmental friendliness and human safety, this review extensively explores the potential of raw materials for PEFC and introduces the preparation methods of nanoparticles, emulsification technology, and film-forming techniques. The critical factors that impact the performance of PEFC during the preparation process are analyzed to enhance food preservation effectiveness. Moreover, the latest advancements in PE packaging across diverse food applications are summarized, along with prospects for innovative food packaging materials. Finally, the preservation mechanism and application safety have been systematically elucidated. The study revealed that the PEFCs provide structural flexibility, where designable nanoparticles offer unique functional properties for intelligent control over active ingredient release. The selection of the dispersed and continuous phases, along with component proportions, can be customized for specific food characteristics and storage conditions. By employing suitable preparation and emulsification techniques, the stability of the emulsion can be improved, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the films/coatings in preserving food. Including additional substances broadens the functionality of degradable materials. The PE packaging technology provides a safe and innovative solution for extending the shelf life and enhancing the quality of food products by protecting and releasing active components.

Abstract
The development and application of curcumin-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic techniques (PDT) in food preservation are highly anticipated to resist microbial contamination and prevent food spoilage. In this study, high-utilization curcumin-loaded bilayer nanoencapsulation was prepared to incorporated into a gelatin-based edible coating for beef preservation. Bilayer nanoencapsulation composed of shellac and poly-γ-glutamic acid (CS-NPs) improved the encapsulation efficiency of shellac to curcumin by >1.5 times. The incorporation of CS-NPs improved the compact of coating structure with hydrogen bonds. In food simulants, coatings possessed control release properties and the release mechanism was Fick diffusion (without the addition of γ-PGA) and non-Fick diffusion (with the addition of γ-PGA). These prepared coatings exhibited excellent barrier, antibacterial (antibacterial ratio > 95 %), and antioxidant properties (scavenging ratio > 90 %). Curcumin mediated antimicrobial photodynamic techniques (PDT) of the coatings were verified with the activity of blue light-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS). The shelf-life of beef was extended by the coating with blue light. In summary, the design of bilayer CS-NPs significantly improved the utilization of curcumin which provided a high-efficiency strategy for PDT-responsive food packaging with environmental practical.

Abstract
The increase in pectin methylesterase (PME) activity on fresh-cut apple surface can smartly trigger the controlled release of bactericidal agents encapsulated within intelligent responsive Pickering emulsions. In this study, we developed a PME-responsive nanocomplex (W-H-II) to stabilize Pickering emulsion containing thyme essential oil (TEO), preserving fresh-cut apples. W-H-II, formed by heat-induced whey protein isolate (WPI) and high methoxyl pectin (HMP) (pH 4.5, 85 °C, 15 min, WPI:HMP ratio 1:2), exhibited good pH stability due to the stabilizing effects of hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. The presence of PME triggered the demethylation of HMP within W-H-II, conferring PME response characteristics. Subsequently, a bacteriostasis experiment with pectinase-producing Bacillus subtilis provided evidence of PME-triggered TEO release from W-H-II-stabilized Pickering emulsion. Furthermore, microscopy techniques were employed to verify the demulsification behavior of the emulsion when PME activity ranged from 0.25 to 2.50 U mL-1. Finally, the PME-responsive TEO Pickering emulsion effectively preserved fresh-cut apples. Stored for 6 days at 5 °C and 10 °C, as the PME activity on the apple surface increased, the decay rate of the coated group was 0 %, with a total colony count below 3.0 log CFU g-1. This study introduces a novel intelligent preservation strategy for storing fresh-cut apples.

Abstract
The objective of current research was to prepare a new biodegradable coating containing chitosan (Ch) and zataria multiflora essential oil (ZMEO) (free and Pickering emulsion (PEO) forms), in order to enhance the Salmo trutta shelf life. Our results showed, the mean of films thickness, mechanical properties (elastic modulus (EM) and tensile strength (TS) analysis) and WVP in different treatments were ranged from 0.103 ± 0.003 (for Ch) to 0.109 ± 0.003 (for Ch-PEO (2.5 %)) µm for thickness, from 3.2 ± 1.6 (for Ch) to 8.15 ± 2.3 (for Ch-EO) MPa for EM, from 1.3 ± 0.5 (for Ch-EO) to 1.6 ± 0.06 (for Ch) Mpa for TS and from 0.1 ± 0.02 (for Ch) to 0.8 ± 0.05 (for Ch-EO) (×10 - 11(g m/m2 s Pa) for WVP. In current research, the lowest and highest total viable counts (TVC) was related to Ch-PEO (1.7 log CFU/g) and control treatments (4.65 log CFU/g). The lowest and highest of pH was related to the Ch-PEO (6.45) and the control (7.1), the lowest and highest of PV (peroxide value) was related to Ch-PEO (0.34 meq/kg) and control treatment (1.37 meq/kg), the lowest and highest of TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) was related to Ch-PEO (0.37 mg/kg) and control treatment (2.23 mg/kg) and also the lowest and highest of TVB-N (total volatile base nitrogen) was related to Ch-PEO (17.7 mg) and control (59 mg). Also, Ch-PEO showed the best sensory properties after sixteen days. Among all the treatments in all the tests, the best maintenance property was related to the Ch-PEO, therefore, chitosan coatings containing ZM Pickering emulsion should be considered as a potential active coating in the fish industry.

This study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of choline chloride: glycerol-based natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) as a plasticizer, NADES extract (NADESext) of lavender as both plasticizer and active ingredient, as well as the lyophilized extract (LE) of lavender at different concentrations (0.5 %, 1 %, and 2 %) on the physical, mechanical, optical, thermal, barrier, morphological, and antioxidant properties of pectin films. The properties of the films were compared to those of the neat pectin film and the film plasticized with glycerol. The addition of plasticizers and LE increased thickness, water vapor permeability, and elongation at break values of the films while decreasing tensile strength and young modulus. Pectin films plasticized with glycerol, NADES, and NADESext had a similar color property but a lower opacity. The use of LE decreased lightness and increased opacity compared to the films with plasticizers. The addition of plasticizers revealed a smoother surface than neat pectin film while LE triggered the formation of agglomerates on the films. Changes in the FTIR spectra of the films showed some interactions between pectin and polyphenols in LE. The plasticizers had an insignificant effect on the antioxidant capacity of films whereas LE improved antioxidant capacity depending on the concentration. In conclusion, the results suggested that pectin films with NADES and LE could be beneficially used to improve antioxidant packaging technology along with acceptable mechanical properties.

Abstract
The present study investigated the mechanical characteristics, hydrophobicity, antioxidant and antibacterial properties, FTIR, SEM and XRD of films fabricated with corn starch and pullulan (CS/PUL) by adding different concentrations of Gallic acid (GA) (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% w/v). The mechanical strength and opacity of CS/PUL films were enhanced by the addition of 1.0% GA. The water vapor permeability (WVP) of CS/PUL films was significantly lower in films with GA compared to those without (P < 0.05). The addition of GA, especially at concentrations of 1.0% and 1.5%, resulted in considerably better free radical scavenging activities on DPPH than films without GA (P < 0.05). Interestingly, the highest water contact angle (WCA) value was observed in films with 0.5% GA, indicating stronger hydrophobicity. Furthermore, the antibacterial capabilities of the films, particularly against E. coli and P. aeruginosa, improved with an increase in GA concentration. The results of FTIR, SEM and XRD analyses showed that GA was well distributed in the CS/PUL matrix.

Abstract
Allicin is a kind of natural antimicrobial active substance, but its water solubility is poor, and it is easy to degrade. In order to improve the stability and bioavailability of allicin, allicin-zein composite nanoparticles (Al-Ze) were prepared by the combination method of antisolvent precipitation and electrostatic deposition, and their characteristic parameters, such as average particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and ζ-potential, were analyzed. Then, Al-Ze was used as the delivery carrier for the active substance (allicin), and gelatin with good film-forming properties was selected as the film-forming matrix to prepare Al-Ze gelatin films. The optical properties, mechanical properties, and characterization parameters were used to analyze the prepared composite materials; the results confirmed that Al-Ze gelatin film has good mechanical properties and barrier properties. The prepared film was applied to the storage of cold, fresh beef, and the quality change of beef was monitored at 4 °C. The results showed that Al-Ze gelatin film could effectively delay the quality deterioration of beef. This paper provides a new idea and data support for the application of Al-Ze gelatin film in meat storage and fresh-keeping, and offers new insight for the promotion and application of allicin in the food industry.

Abstract
Constructing biopolymer-based packaging films with fantastic water resistance and mechanical properties for food preservation is highly desirable and challenging. In this work, Gliadin/Casein nanoparticles (GCNPs) were prepared by pH-driven method and embedded into konjac glucomannan/carboxymethyl chitosan (KC) film matrix to improve the water resistance and mechanical properties of KC film. Gliadin and Casein showed good compatibility and co-assembled to form compact GCNPs clusters through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction verified by FT-IR spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The particle size and zeta potential of GCNPs was 269.7 nm and -7.6 mV, respectively. The effect of GCNPs on the mechanics, water barrier, thermal stability, and UV-shielding of KC-GCNPs film was investigated. SEM images revealed that GCNPs uniformly distributed into KC film matrix and significantly improved the mechanics (tensile strength: 75.6 MPa, elongation at breaking: 36.7 %), water barrier ability (water contact angle: 91.3°, water vapor permeability: 0.994 g mm/m2 day kPa, water solubility: 52.0 %), thermal stability and UV blocking property of KC-GCNPs film. Furthermore, KC-GCNPs film could also be applied to extend the shelf life of grapes. This paper demonstrated the great potential of GCNPs as functional nanofillers in enhancing the physicochemical properties of KC film.

Abstract
The rising consumer demand for safer, healthier, and fresher-like food has led to the emergence of new concepts in food packaging. In addition, the growing concern about environmental issues has increased the search for materials derived from non-petroleum sources and biodegradable options. Thus, active films based on biopolymers loaded with natural active compounds have great potential to be used as food packaging. However, several lipophilic active compounds are difficult to incorporate into aqueous film-forming solutions based on polysaccharides or proteins, and the hydrophilic active compounds require protection against oxidation. One way to incorporate these active compounds into film matrices is to encapsulate them in emulsions, such as microemulsions, nanoemulsions, Pickering emulsions, or double emulsions. However, emulsion characteristics can influence the properties of active films, such as mechanical, barrier, and optical properties. This review addresses the advantages of using emulsions to encapsulate active compounds before their incorporation into biopolymeric matrices, the main characteristics of these emulsions (emulsion type, droplet size, and emulsifier nature), and their influence on active film properties. Furthermore, we review the recent applications of the emulsion-charged active films in food systems.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a composite film composed of eugenol Pickering emulsion and pullulan-gelatin, and to evaluate its preservation effect on chilled beef. The prepared composite film was comprehensively evaluated in terms of the stability of emulsion, the physical properties of the film, and an analysis of freshness preservation for chilled beef. The emulsion size (296.0 ± 10.2 nm), polydispersity index (0.457 ± 0.039), and potential (20.1 ± 0.9 mV) proved the success of emulsion. At the same time, the films displayed good mechanical and barrier properties. The index of beef preservation also indicated that eugenol was a better active ingredient than clove essence oil, which led to the rise of potential of hydrogen, chroma and water content, and effectively inhibited microbial propagation, protein degradation and lipid oxidation. These results suggest that the prepared composites can be used as promising materials for chilled beef preservation.

Abstract
Pectin hydrogels have garnered significant attention in the food industry due to their remarkable versatility and promising properties. As a naturally occurring polysaccharide, pectin forms three-dimensional (3D) hydrophilic polymer networks, endowing these hydrogels with softness, flexibility, and biocompatibility. Their exceptional attributes surpass those of other biopolymer gels, exhibiting rapid gelation, higher melting points, and efficient carrier capabilities for flavoring and fat barriers. This review provides an overview of the current state of pectin gelling mechanisms and the classification of hydrogels, as well as their crosslinking types, as investigated through diverse research endeavors worldwide. The preparation of pectin hydrogels is categorized into specific gel types, including hydrogels, cryogels, aerogels, xerogels, and oleogels. Each preparation process is thoroughly discussed, shedding light on how it impacts the properties of pectin gels. Furthermore, the review delves into the various crosslinking methods used to form hydrogels, with a focus on physical, chemical, and interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) approaches. Understanding these crosslinking mechanisms is crucial to harnessing the full potential of pectin hydrogels for food-related applications. The review aims to provide valuable insights into the diverse applications of pectin hydrogels in the food industry, motivating further exploration to cater to consumer demands and advance food technology. By exploiting the unique properties of pectin hydrogels, food formulations can be enhanced with encapsulated bioactive substances, improved stability, and controlled release. Additionally, the exploration of different crosslinking methods expands the horizons of potential applications.

Abstract
In this work, the role of tannic acid (TA) and Fe3+ in crosslinking pectin (PE) to enhance its physicochemical properties was investigated. Specifically, PE/TA/Fe3+ composite films were prepared using the solution casting method, and the UV-blocking properties, transparency, water content, physico-mechanical properties, antioxidant properties and degradability of the PE composite films were investigated. The microstructure of the PE composite films and the interactions between the contained components were analyzed using FTIR, X_crystal diffraction and SEM scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the addition of TA and Fe3+ can significantly improve the UV barrier properties and antioxidant properties of PE films. Meanwhile, Fe3+ could form a metal phenol network with TA and crosslink with the PE film, which makes the structure of the PE film denser and thus significantly reduces the water vapor permeability of the PE film. In addition, this work also indicated that the PE composite coatings have a favorable preservation effect on passion fruit, which leads to the lowest weight loss rate and wrinkle index of the passion fruit within 7 days of storage and shows good appearance quality and commercial value. This work indicates that the addition of tannic acid and Fe3+ significantly improved the mechanical and barrier properties of pectin films, and the composite pectin coating extended the shelf life of passion fruit.

Abstract
In this study, a novel multifunctional food packaging was developed by incorporating alizarin (AL) and oregano essential oil Pickering emulsion (OEOP) into a gelatin film matrix. The incorporation of OEOP and alizarin improved the UV-vis resistance property of the film, blocking almost all UV-vis light (decreasing 71.80% to 0.06% at 400 nm). The elongation-at-break (EBA) was 4.02 times of that of gelatin film, indicating the improved mechanical properties of the films. This film showed a significant color change from yellow to purple in the pH range of 3-11 and a considerable sensitivity to ammonia vapor within 4 min, which was attributed to the deprotonation of the alizarin molecule. The film's antioxidant and dynamic antimicrobial capacity was significantly improved owing to the sustained release effect of OEOP. Furthermore, the multifunctional film effectively slowed down the beef spoilage rate and provided real-time visual monitoring of freshness through color changes. Additionally, the color change of the beef quality was linked to the RGB values of the film through a smartphone APP. Overall, this work broadens the possibilities of applications in the food packaging industry for multifunctional food packaging film with preservation and monitoring functions.

In this study, the addition of oregano oil chitosan nanoparticles (OEO-CSNPs) was conducted to enhance the comprehensive properties of gelatin films (GA), and the optimal addition ratio of nanoparticles was determined for its application in the preservation of mullet. Oregano oil chitosan nanoparticles were organically combined with gelatin at different concentrations (0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8%) to obtain oregano oil-chitosan nanoparticle-GA-based composite films (G/OEO-CSNPs), and thereafter G/OEO-CSNPs were characterized and investigated for their preservative effects on mullet. Subsequent analysis revealed that OEO-CSNPs were uniformly dispersed in the GA matrix, and that G/OEO-CSNPs had significantly improved mechanical ability, UV-visible light blocking performance and thermal stability. Furthermore, the nanoparticles exhibited excellent antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and they improved the films' suitability as edible packaging. The attributes of the G/OEO-CSNPs were optimized, the films had the strongest radical scavenging and lowest water solubility, and electron microscopy also showed nanoparticle penetration into the polymer when the concentration of OEO-CSNPs was 6% (thickness = 0.092 ± 0.001, TS = 47.62 ± 0.37, E = 4.06 ± 0.17, water solubility = 48.00 ± 1.11). Furthermore, the GA-based composite film containing 6% OEO-CSNPs was able to inhibit microbial growth, slow fat decomposition and protein oxidation, reduce endogenous enzyme activity, and delay the spoilage of mullet during the refrigeration process, all of which indicate its excellent potential for meat preservation application.

Abstract
The essential oil extracted from Melissa officinalis (MOEO) exhibits a wide range of therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. The current research aimed to analyze the mechanical, barrier, chemical, and antioxidant properties of pectin and collagen-based films. Hydrogel-based films loaded with varying concentrations of MOEO (0.1%, 0.15%, and 0.2%) were prepared by solvent-casting method, and their physicochemical as well as antioxidant properties were examined. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of major components in MOEO such as 2,6-octadienal, 3,7-dimethyl, citral, caryophyllene, geranyl acetate, caryophyllene oxide, citronellal, and linalool. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results revealed the interaction between components of the essential oil and polymer matrix. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that films loaded with the highest concentration (0.2%) of MOEO showed more homogeneous structure with fewer particles, cracks, and pores as compared to control film sample. MOEO-incorporated films exhibited higher elongation at break (EAB) (30.24-36.29%) and thickness (0.068-0.073 mm); however, they displayed lower tensile strength (TS) (3.48-1.25 MPa) and transparency (87.30-82.80%). MOEO-loaded films demonstrated superior barrier properties against water vapors. According to the results, the incorporation of MOEO into pectin-collagen composite hydrogel-based films resulted in higher antioxidant properties, indicating that MOEO has the potential to be used in active food packaging material for potential applications.

Abstract
A novel absorbent pad based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/gellan gum/citric acid (CA) composite with incorporated Perilla leaf oil (PO) nanoemulsion was prepared and characterized. The esterification between PVA and CA and strong hydrogen bonds were detected. The PVA improved the tensile strength and elongation at break by 110% and 73%, respectively, whereas PO concentration ≤ 1.5 % (w/v) had little effect on the material properties. The CA and PO nanoemulsion loaded in the pads showed good antioxidant activity, and the pads with PO concentration ≥ 1.5 % (w/v) had effective antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of chilled chicken storage experiments indicated that the pad with 1.5% (w/v) PO nanoemulsion extended the shelf life of chicken to at least 9 days, demonstrating that the developed absorbent pads are potential materials for chilled chicken storage packing.

Abstract
In this study, the optimal emulsifier for prothioconazole nanoemulsions was initially screened based on appearance, microscopic observation, mean droplet size and polydispersity index (PDI). In addition, the BoxBehnken design method is adopted, and the optimal formula is screened with an emulsification time, emulsifier content, and solvent content as a single factor. On this basis, the nanoemulsion meets FAO standards for various indicators. The contact angle of droplets on wheat leaves was significantly reduced. This nanoemulsion also showed good inhibitory activity against Fusarium graminearum (EC50 =1.94 mg L-1), low acute toxicity to zebrafish (LC50 =26.35 mg L-1) and good biosafety to BEAS-2B cells. The nanoemulsion reduced the adverse effects of pesticide on wheat seed germination and growth. This study can help promote the design and manufacture of stable, efficient and safe agricultural nanoemulsions, and is expected to benefit the sustainable development of green plant protection.

Abstract
This study aimed to improve the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of a monolayer pectin (P) film containing nanoemulsified trans-Cinnamaldehyde (TC) by incorporating it between inner and outer layers of ethylcellulose (EC). The nanoemulsion had an average size of 103.93 nm and a zeta potential of -46 mV. The addition of the nanoemulsion increased the opacity of the film, reduced its moisture absorption capacity, and improved its antimicrobial activity. However, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the pectin films decreased after the incorporation of nanoemulsions. Multilayer films (EC/P/EC) showed a higher resistance to breaking and better extensibility compared to monolayer films. The antimicrobial activity of both mono and multilayer films was effective in inhibiting the growth of foodborne bacteria during storage of ground beef patties at 8 °C for 10 days. This study suggests that biodegradable antimicrobial multilayer packaging films can be effectively designed and applied in the food packaging industry.

Abstract
The use of non-conventional starch sources to develop biodegradable and bioactive starch-based films have attracted increasing attention recently. In this study, a nonconventional chayote tuber starch (CTS) was functionalized by zein-pectin nanoparticle-stabilized cinnamon essential oil (CEO) Pickering emulsion (ZPCO) to develop a novel bioactive composite films for food packaging application. Results demonstrated that antibacterial ZPCO featuring long-term stability was successfully obtained. FTIR and SEM analyses suggested that ZPCO have favorable dispersibility and compatibility with CTS matrix. With ZPCO increasing, the transmittance, tensile strength, and moisture content of composite films decreased, whereas their elongation at break, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities increased. ZPCO added at an appropriate level (2 %) can improve water-resistance of the films and reduce water vapor permeability. More importantly, ZPCO can achieve a slower sustained-release of CEO from composite films into food simulants. Furthermore, the composite film containing 2 % ZPCO is safe and nontoxic as proved by cell cytotoxicity test, and it can significantly prolong the shelf life of ground beef by showing the lowest total volatile base nitrogen and best acceptable sensory characteristic. Overall, the incorporation of ZPCO into CTS films offers a great potential application as a bioactive material in the food packing.

Abstract
Cinnamon essential oil (CEO)-based Pickering emulsions were prepared using chitosan (CS) and soy protein isolate (SPI) colloid particles as stabilizers and genipin as cross-linker. Pickering emulsions have smaller particle sizes, higher stability, and encapsulation efficiency at a CS:SPI ratio of 1:4. The Pickering emulsion-modified collagen films showed enhanced thermal stability, UV-blocking properties, and water resistance. In addition, the antioxidant (DPPH scavenging activity, 18.35%-50.59%) and antimicrobial activities (inhibition zone, Escherichia coli, 0-1.85 cm; Staphylococcus aureus, 0-1.57 cm; Pseudomonas fluorescens, 0-1.34 cm) of the films were improved due to the sustained release of CEO, with the release kinetics following the Fickian diffusion of the Ritger-Peppas model. When the functionalized film was used for pork preservation, a four-day extension of shelf life was observed. Collectively, our findings suggest that Pickering emulsions provide great potential for the application of collagen film in pork preservation.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions are promising systems to act as carriers of active hydrophobic components, and to improve compatibility and the water vapor barrier properties of bio-based films. This study aimed to investigated the effects of cinnamon essential oil Pickering emulsions (CEOEs) using zein/carboxymethyl tamarind gum as stabilizers on the mechanical, barrier, antibacterial and antioxidant properties of Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) films, and assessed the influence of carboxymethylation degree. In addition, the effect of the packaging was studied on the shelf life of cherry tomatoes. Results showed that the droplet size reduced approximately from 93.03 to 10.59 μm with the increasing degree of substitution (DS), greatly facilitating the droplet uniform distribution in film matrix. Moreover, with the addition of CEOEs, significant increase was observed with the tensile strength from 8.46 to 25.41 MPa, and the water vapor permeability decreased from 6.18 × 10-10 to 4.24 × 10-10 g·m-1·s-1·Pa-1. The films exhibited good UV barrier properties without sacrificing the transparency after adding CEO. Furthermore, the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the prepared films have also been greatly improved. Consequently, the CEOEs was an ideal alternative for incorporation with HPMC based films for increasing the shelf life of cherry tomatoes.

Abstract
Abstract
Starch/nanocellulose nanocomposite is of interest because of its potential applications in the field of biodegradable food packaging and biomedical applications thanks to its safe, biodegradable, fabricated by simple traditional methods, and cheap. The starch reinforced by nanocellulose significantly improved the physicochemical properties, especially the mechanical properties, thermal stability as well as barrier properties, compared to the starch matrix. With outstanding advantages compared to polymer nanocomposites derived from petroleum, the starch/nanocellulose composite is considered a potential agent for biodegradable food packaging and biomedical technology.
