Abstract
Food freshness monitoring is an important component in ensuring food safety for consumers and the food industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable, low-cost, and efficient detection method to determine the freshness. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as polymer carrier to prepare electrospinning film containing curcumin (Cur) and gardenia blue (GB) as intelligent indicator label on food packaging for real-time nondestructive detection of freshness of shrimp. The detection limit of ammonia response is less than or equal to 20 ppm, and the detection time is about 1 min, indicating that it has a sensitive response effect. At the same time, a smartphone application that can identify amines in response to color changes has been developed, and consumers can understand freshness by scanning the label. This study demonstrates the huge potential of smart indicator labels for food freshness monitoring.

Abstract
In recent years, the utilization of smart colorimetric packaging films for monitoring food freshness has garnered significant concentration. However, their limited tensile strength, hydrophobicity, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties have been substantial barriers to widespread adoption. In this study, we harnessed the potential of biodegradable materials, specifically chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol, alongside shikonin extracted from Radix Lithospermi and ZnO nanoparticles, to create a novel colorimetric sensing film. This film boasts an impressive tensile strength of 82.36 ± 2.13 MPa, enhanced hydrophobic characteristics (exemplified by a final contact angle of 99.81°), and outstanding antioxidant and antibacterial properties. It is designed for real-time monitoring of shrimp freshness. Additionally, we verified the effectiveness of this sensing film in detecting shrimp freshness across varying temperature conditions, namely 25 °C and 4 °C was validated through the measurement of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N). Visual inspection unequivocally revealed a transition in color from dark red to purple-light blue and finally to dark bluish providing a clear indication of shrimp spoilage, which demonstrated a strong correlation with the TVB-N content in shrimp measured through standard laboratory procedures. The colorimetric sensing film developed in this study holds great promise for creating smart labels with exceptional antioxidant and antibacterial properties, tailored for visual freshness monitoring of shrimp.

Abstract
This study used a unique approach by developing a bilayer system that can simultaneously accomplish non-adhesion, hemostatic, and tissue regenerative properties. In this system, agarose was used as a carrier material, with an agarose-TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCN), (AT) layer acting as a non-adhesion layer and an Agarose-Extracellular matrix, (AE) layer acting as a tissue regenerative layer. Thrombin was loaded on the AE layer as an initiator of the healing process, by hemostasis. AT 1:4 showed 79.3 % and AE 1:4 showed 84.66 % cell viability initially confirming the biocompatible nature of the layers. The AE layer showed cell attachment and proliferation on its surface whereas on the AT layer, cells are visible but no attachment was observed. Furthermore, in vivo analysis was conducted. The non-adhesive layer was grafted between the cecum and peritoneal wall which showed that (AT 1:4) displayed remarkable non-adhesion properties as compared to a commercial product and the non-treated group. Hemostasis and tissue regeneration ability were evaluated using rat liver models. The bleeding time of AE 1:4TH was recorded as 160 s and the blood loss was 5.6 g. The results showed that (AE 1:4) displayed effective regeneration ability in the liver model after two weeks.

Abstract
To promote a circular economy, the use of agricultural by-products as food packaging material has steadily increased. However, designing food packaging films that meet consumers' preferences and requirements is still a challenge. In this work, cellulose extracted from coffee silverskin (a by-product of coffee roasting) and chitosan were combined with different natural pigments (curcumin, phycocyanin, and lycopene) to generate a variety of composite films with different colors for food packaging. The physicochemical and sensory properties of the films were evaluated. The cellulose/chitosan film showed favorable mechanical properties and water sensitivity. Addition of natural pigments resulted in different film colors, and significantly affected the optical properties and improved the UV-barrier, swelling degree, and water vapor permeability (WVP), but there were also slight decreases in the mechanical properties. The various colored films can influence the perceived features and evoke different emotions from consumers, resulting in films receiving different attraction and liking scores. This work provides a comprehensive evaluation strategy for coffee silverskin cellulose-based composite films with incorporated pigments, and a new perspective on the consideration of the hedonic ratings of consumers regarding bio-based films when designing food packaging.

Food Sci Nutr 2023; 11:3767-3779.

Abstract
This research aims to produce an antioxidant and biodegradable polysaccharide film by using macroalgae agar and sulfated polysaccharide. Agar and sulfated polysaccharide (fucoidan) were extracted from Gracilaria corticata and Sargassum angustifolium macroalgae. Five treatments were conducted: (A) agar film (1%, W:V), (C) chitosan film (1%, W:V + 1% acetic acid), (AC) agar:chitosan composite (50:50, V:V), (ACF) AC film with fucoidan (0.5%, W:V), and (ACFA) ACF film with citric acid (30% of the dry weight of film) as a cross-linking agent. Then, 0.75% (V:V) of glycerol was added to all films. The physical, mechanical, antioxidant, color variations, microstructure (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were investigated. Based on the results, modifying the agar film with chitosan improved the mechanical strength, humidity, and solubility in the AC composite film (p < .05). Further, adding sulfated polysaccharide and citric acid cross-linking agent to the agar-chitosan composite led to a significant decrease in solubility, humidity, and permeability to water vapor in ACFA films (p < .05), indicating strong cross-linking and reduction in film pores based on the SEM pictures and FTIR results. However, the physical and mechanical properties of the agar-based film obtained from Gracilaria algae can be improved by adding chitosan and citric acid cross-linking agent, and the addition of fucoidan obtained from Sargassum algae has improved its antioxidant properties. This biodegradable film can be a good candidate for preserving perishable products.

Abstract
Ixiolirion tataricum mucilage (ITM) was characterized and applied in fabrication of ITM/chitosan (CH) blend films activated by Foeniculum vulgare essential oil (FEO) in free and nanoliposomal forms. Uniform smooth surface structure, viscoelastic solid-like behavior and Newtonian nature of ITM were confirmed by morphological and rheological analyses. The prepared FEO nanoliposomes (FEO-NLPs) showed desirable properties in terms of particle size (57.2 nm), polydispersity index (0.243), zeta-potential (-17.6 mV), and encapsulation efficiency (85.2 %). The enhancing effects of FEO-NLPs and the adverse effects of free FEO on the crystalline, morphological and structural properties of films were confirmed by XRD, FE-SEM and ATR-FTIR tests. FEO-NLPs loaded films had better mechanical, thermal, water and gas barrier and antioxidant properties than neat film. Analysis also indicated the high controlled release of FEO from the films containing the nanoliposomal form of FEO. The films containing free FEO showed higher antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus in comparison with FEO-NLPs loaded ones. The results showed the potential of FEO-NLPs loaded ITM/CH films for antioxidant food packaging applications.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) has attracted extensive attention due to its excellent health benefits. Our recent work demonstrated that GA could be self-assembled into hydrogels. However, the poor mechanical properties and rapid degradation of GA hydrogels presented challenges for further applications. In this study, agarose (AG), a water-soluble polysaccharide, was used with GA to develop a double network hydrogel (GA-AG). Physical and chemical tests demonstrated that the GA-AG hydrogel at ratio of 4:5 had the highest cross-linked structure, along with excellent porosity, good water retention and a swelling ratio of 9.72 %. In addition, the cross-linked network structure enabled the GA-AG hydrogel to have good mechanical properties and better viscosity than the pure GA hydrogel. The glass transition temperature of the GA-AG hydrogel increased from 59.49 °C to 65.54 °C, while its disintegration rate decreased from 99.07 % to 64.37 % within 48 h. In vitro tests showed that the GA-AG hydrogel had excellent antibacterial activity and biocompatibility. Meanwhile, we demonstrated that this double network hydrogel significantly reduced inflammation and accelerated wound healing in vivo. From the results of our study, we expect that this stable GA-AG double network hydrogel has potential applications in wound healing.

Abstract
Mantis shrimp (Oratosquilla nepa) exoskeleton, a leftover generated after processing, was used as a starting material for chitosan (CS) production. CS was extracted with different deacetylation times (2, 3 and 4 h), termed CS−2, CS−3 and CS−4, respectively, and their characteristics and antimicrobial and film properties with agarose (AG) were investigated. Prolonged deacetylation time increased the degree of deacetylation (DDA: 73.56 ± 0.09−75.56 ± 0.09%), while extraction yield (15.79 ± 0.19−14.13 ± 0.09%), intrinsic viscosity (η: 3.58 ± 0.09−2.97 ± 0.16 dL/g) and average molecular weight (Mν: 1.4 ± 0.05−1.12 ± 0.08 (×106 Da)) decreased (p < 0.05). FTIR spectra of extracted CS were similar to that of commercial CS. Among all the CS samples prepared, CS−3 had the best yield, DDA, Mν and antimicrobial activity. Therefore, it was chosen for the development of composite films with AG at different ratios (CS−3/AG; 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 0/100). As the proportion of AG increased, the tensile strength (29.96 ± 1.80−89.70 ± 5.08 MPa) of the composite films increased, while thickness (0.056 ± 0.012−0.024 ± 0.001 mm), elongation at break (36.52 ± 1.12−25.32 ± 1.23%) and water vapor permeability (3.56 ± 0.10−1.55 ± 0.02 (×10−7 g m m−2 s−1 Pa−1)) decreased (p < 0.05). Moreover, lightness of the films increased and yellowness decreased. CS−3/AG (50/50) composite film exhibited high mechanical and barrier properties and excellent compatibility according to FTIR and SEM analyses. According to these finding, mantis shrimp exoskeleton could be used to produce CS. The developed bio-composite film based on an appropriate ratio (50/50) of CS−3 and AG has potential for being used as food packaging material.

Abstract
This article focuses on agar biopolymer films that offer promise for developing biodegradable packaging, an important solution for reducing plastics pollution. At present there is a lack of data on the mechanical performance of agar biopolymer films using a simple plasticizer. This study takes a Design of Experiments approach to analyze how agar-glycerin biopolymer films perform across a range of ingredients concentrations in terms of their strength, elasticity, and ductility. Our results demonstrate that by systematically varying the quantity of agar and glycerin, tensile properties can be achieved that are comparable to agar-based materials with more complex formulations. Not only does our study significantly broaden the amount of data available on the range of mechanical performance that can be achieved with simple agar biopolymer films, but the data can also be used to guide further optimization efforts that start with a basic formulation that performs well on certain property dimensions. We also find that select formulations have similar tensile properties to thermoplastic starch (TPS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and polypropylene (PP), indicating potential suitability for select packaging applications. We use our experimental dataset to train a neural network regression model that predicts the Young's modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation at break of agar biopolymer films given their composition. Our findings support the development of further data-driven design and fabrication workflows.

Abstract
The study was aimed at designing and characterizing the ondansetron hydrochloride (OND) bearing agarose (AG), and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) mucoadhesive buccal films employing glycerol as a plasticizer. The buccal delivery of ondansetron hydrochloride was remarkably boosted by employing physical (iontophoresis) and chemical enhancement approaches (chemical penetration enhancers). To explore the influence of different formulation components, i.e., agarose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and glycerol on various evaluating parameters, i.e., tensile strength, swelling index, ex vivo mucoadhesion time, and subsequently on in vitro drug release, a D-optimal design was opted. A buccal film bearing OND was mounted on bovine buccal mucosa for ex vivo permeation studies and impact of chemical and physical enhancement techniques on the permeation profile was also analysed. A linear release profile was revealed in in vitro drug release of OND over 60 minutes and outcomes ascertained the direct relationship between HPMC content and in vitro drug release and inverse relationship was depicted by AG content. The FTIR and DSC thermal analysis was executed to determine the physicochemical interactions and results exposed no chemical interactions between drug and polymers. The drug (OND) appeared as tiny crystals on smooth film surface during scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. A notable enhancement in permeation flux, i.e., 761.02 μg/min of OND during ex vivo permeation studies was witnessed after the application of current (0.5-1 mA) without any time lag and with enhancement ratio of 3.107. A time lag of 15 minutes, 19 minutes, and 26 minutes with permeation flux of 475.34 μg/min, 399.35 μg/min, and 244.81 μg/min was observed after chemical enhancer pretreatment with propylene glycol, Tween 80, and passive, respectively. Rabbit was employed as the experimental animal for pharmacokinetic studies (in vivo) and cats for pharmacological activity (in vivo), and the results illustrated the enhanced bioavailablity (2.88 times) in the iontophoresis animal group when compared with the rabbits of control group. Likewise, a remarkable reduction in emesis events was recorded in cats of iontophoresis group. Conclusively, the histopathological examinations on excised buccal mucosa unveiled no severe necrotic or cytopathetic outcomes of current.

Abstract
Edible packaging is a sustainable product and technology that uses one kind of "food" (an edible material) to package another kind of food (a packaged product), and organically integrates food with packaging through ingenious material design. Polysaccharides are a reliable source of edible packaging materials with excellent renewable, biodegradable, and biocompatible properties, as well as antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Using polysaccharide-based materials effectively reduces the dependence on petroleum resources, decreases the carbon footprint of the "product-packaging" system, and provides a "zero-emission" scheme. To date, they have been commercialized and developed rapidly in the food (e.g., fruits and vegetables, meat, nuts, confectioneries, and delicatessens, etc.) packaging industry. However, compared with petroleum-based polymers and plastics, polysaccharides still have limitations in film-forming, mechanical, barrier, and protective properties. Therefore, they need to be improved by reasonable material modifications (chemical or physical modification). This article comprehensively reviews recent research advances, hot issues, and trends of polysaccharide-based materials in edible packaging. Emphasis is given to fundamental compositions and properties, functional modifications, food-packaging applications, and safety risk assessment of polysaccharides (including cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, chitosan, and polysaccharide gums). Therefore, to provide a reference for the development of modern edible packaging.

Abstract
The antibacterial and biocompatible films have attracted much attention due to their wide range of applications. Although a lot of work has been done in this area, research in this field is still very active and associated with the continuous development of new materials. In the present study full polysaccharide chitosan-agarose (CS-AG) films were produced by reaction of chitosan with periodate activated agarose, followed by reductive amination. Activated agarose was prepared by periodate oxidation of agarose, and then applied as a crosslinking agent to form a new polymeric network. The structure of periodate activated agarose was studied by nuclear magnetic resonances spectroscopy (1H NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Rheological experiments showed that the viscosity of agarose solution changes rapidly by addition of periodate to the solution. Swelling, deswelling, and gel content of the films were determined at different pH. Chitosan-agarose silver nanocomposite (CS-AG/n-Ag) films were prepared by loading silver ions and subsequent reduction. The CS-AG/n-Ag films were characterized by FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image showed that the size of silver nanoparticles was about 2-7 nm. The bactericidal capacities (MBC/MIC) of the CS-AG/Ag films for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were obtained 2.0, 1.0 and 2.0, respectively. The results demonstrate that the CS-AG/n-Ag films have good antibacterial activity against both the gram-negative and the gram-positive bacteria which make them suitable for food packaging and wound healing applications.

Abstract
3D food printing sectors require comprehensive knowledge on viscoelastic and mechanical properties of diverse food materials in order to effectively utilize them in rapid and customized 3D production for supply and manufacturing chains. In this work, we present mechanical and rheological properties of Agar and Konjac based edible gels at different Agar and Konjac weight ratio and discuss their 3D printing performance. Gel samples with higher Konjac content positively contributed to the viscoelastic properties of the gel samples which in return has been found viable for extrusion-based 3D printing. By choosing appropriate printing parameters, different shapes are printed to demonstrate printing resolution. We expect, this study will add potential scope for evaluating and optimizing soft-gel materials for 3D food printing sector.

Abstract
Agar is a biopolymer extracted from certain red algae. The continuous and transparent film made from agar gum is becoming a common and renewable alternative for plastic-based food packaging materials. However, plain agar film suffers from brittleness, high moisture permeability, and poor thermal stability. Considerable researches have been devoted to improving the properties of agar films to extend their applications. These include reinforcements by nanomaterials, blending with other biopolymers, and incorporating plasticizers, hydrophobic components, or antimicrobial agents into their structure. This article comprehensively reviews the functional properties and defects of edible films made from agar gum. Also, it describes various strategies and components used to make an agar film with desirable properties. Moreover, the applications of agar-based edible films with improved functionality for food packaging are discussed.

Abstract
The natural polymer Tragacanth Gum is less explored as a supporting matrix, there are very less studies conducted using this polymer in literature. So the present study aims to explore the consequences of different weight percent (wt.%) of gallic acid (GA) on physicochemical properties of Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Tragacanth Gum blend films. The incorporation of GA resulted in more strengthened but less flexible films as confirmed by tensile tests. DSC studies confirmed the miscibility of composite films in the given composition range and TGA studies revealed increased thermal stability. The morphological studies revealed a homogeneous distribution of GA at lower wt.% in the blend system. X-Ray Diffraction study depicted; the added GA lost crystalline structure after incorporating it into the blend. The Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) was improved after the incorporation of GA into the blend system. Overall migration studies revealed the limited release of GA from the matrix into food simulants. Soil degradation rate increased as the wt.% of GA increased. The composite films presented strong antioxidant activity; therefore, prepared composite films could be used as an alternative to current packaging materials.

Abstract
One of the most effective approaches for treatment of cartilage involves the use of porous three-dimensional scaffolds, which are useful for improving not only cellular adhesion but also mechanical properties of the treated tissues. In this study, we manufactured a composite scaffold with optimum properties to imitate nasal cartilage attributes. Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) was used in order to improve the cellular properties of the scaffolds; while, chitosan and agarose were main materials that are used to boost the mechanical and rheological properties of the scaffolds. Furthermore, we explored the effect of the various weight ratios of chitosan, agarose, and ECM on the mechanical and biomedical properties of the composite scaffolds using the Taguchi method. The resulting composites display a range of advantages, including good mechanical strength, porous morphology, partial crystallinity, high swelling ratio, controlled biodegradability rate, and rheological characteristics. Additionally, we performed the cytotoxicity tests to confirm the improvement of the structure and better cell attachments on the scaffolds. Our findings illustrate that the presence of the ECM in chitosan/agarose structure improves the biomedical characteristics of the final scaffold. In addition, we were able to control the mechanical properties and microstructure of the scaffolds by optimizing the polymers' concentration and their resulting interactions. These results present a novel scaffold with simultaneously enhanced mechanical and cellular attributes comparing to the scaffolds without ECM for nasal cartilage tissue engineering applications.

Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan-Based Ternary Blend Edible Films with Efficient Antimicrobial Activities for Food Packaging Applications. J Food Sci 2019; 84:1411-1419. [PMID: 31132162 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2018] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
To improve the mechanical and antibacterial properties of chitosan (CS) films, a ternary blend edible film was prepared by incorporating CS, gelatin (GE), and natural cinnamon essential oil (CEo). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were performed to evaluate the films. The mechanical properties, light transmission, thermal stability, hydrophilicity, and antibacterial activity of the films were also determined. The results confirmed all of the films exhibited excellent UV protection with low transparency at 600 nm. Compared with the CS films, the ternary composite film (CSGEo film, containing CS, GE, and CEo) had a higher elongation at break but a lower tensile strength. SEM images revealed that all films had smooth surfaces, although some obvious differences between CS and CSGEo films were observed by AFM. Additionally, the incorporation of GE and CEo to the films enhanced their thermal stability and contact angle, but decreased their crystallinity and wettability. The antimicrobial activity results showed that CSGEo films had excellent antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, for which the antibacterial rate exceeded 98%. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the CSGEo solution against E. coli and S. aureus were both 52.06 µg/mL, and the minimal bactericidal concentrations were 104.12 and 52.06 µg/mL, respectively. These results suggest that CSGEo films possess good mechanical and antibacterial properties, and therefore, their application in the food packaging industry is promising. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The main raw materials of the edible films developed in this study are aquatic by-products, so the films are edible and biodegradable. The addition of gelatin and CEo improved the UV barrier and thermal properties but decreased the crystallinity and hydrophilicity of the films, making them suitable for use as packaging materials. CEo-incorporated films exhibited excellent mechanical properties and antibacterial activity and can, therefore, be used in the food packaging industry.

Int J Biol Macromol 2018; 122:485-492.

Abstract
Chitosan-alginate films were prepared through layer-by-layer assembly combined with ferulic acid crosslinking. Their mechanical properties, opacity, and hydrophobicity were compared to films prepared by direct mixing, crosslinking alone, and LBL assembly alone. Thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the films and analyze their formation mechanism. The results indicated that the layer-by-layer assembly and ferulic acid crosslinking combination increased the tensile strength and light-blocking ability of the films. In addition, the films had a lower water vapor transmission rate, swelling degree, and water solubility, as well as higher hydrophobicity. Scanning electron microscopy showed a good compatibility between the film components of the film prepared by the combination technique. The structural characterization results revealed some strong interactions among the amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups of the ferulic acid, chitosan, and sodium alginate in the film. The driving force for film formation was the generation of non-covalent bonds among the film components rather than covalent bonds.

Abstract
Chitosan is obtained from chitin, which could be considered to be the most abundant polymer after cellulose. Owing to these properties, chitosan alone or chitosan-based composite film production is attaining huge attention in terms of applications from researchers and industrialists coming from divergent fields. To enhance the biological (mainly antimicrobial and antioxidant) and physiological (mainly mechanical, thermal and barrier) attributes of the chitosan-based films, a vast medley of plant extracts and supporting polymers has been blended into chitosan films. Considering the up to date literature reports based on chitosan film production and applications, it can be stated that still, the research ratio is low in this field. Chitosan blend/composite films with specific properties (superhydrophobicity, excellent mechanical strength, acceptable barrier properties) can be produced only for specific applications in food technology. In the current review, we tried to summarize the advancements made in the last 5-7 years in the field of chitosan film technology for its application in the food industry.
