Abstract
The development of functional edible films is promising for the food industry, and improving the water barrier of edible films has been a research challenge in recent years. In this study, curcumin (Cur) was added to zein (Z) and shellac (S) to prepare an edible composite film with a strong water barrier and antioxidant properties. The addition of curcumin significantly reduced the water vapor permeability (WVP), water solubility (WS), and elongation at break (EB), and it clearly improved the tensile strength (TS), water contact angle (WCA), and optical properties of the composite film. The ZS-Cur films were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, DSC, and TGA; the results indicated that hydrogen bonds were formed among the curcumin, zein, and shellac, which changed the microstructure and improved the thermal stability of the film. A test of curcumin release behavior showed controlled release of curcumin from the film matrix. ZS-Cur films displayed remarkable pH responsiveness, strong antioxidant properties, and inhibitory effects on E. coli. Therefore, the insoluble active food packaging prepared in this study provides a new strategy for the development of functional edible films and also provides a possibility for the application of edible films to extend the shelf life of fresh food.

Abstract
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a natural polysaccharide extracted from konjac tubers that has a topological structure composed of glucose and mannose. KGM can be used as a gel carrier to load active molecules in food preservation. The three-dimensional gel network structure based on KGM provides good protection for the loaded active molecules and allows for sustained release, thus enhancing the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of these molecules. KGM loaded with various active molecules has been used in aquatic foods preservation, with great potential for different food preservation applications. This review summarizes recent advances in KGM, including: (i) structural characterization, (ii) the formation mechanism, (iii) preparation methods, (iv) functional properties and (v) the preservation of aquatic food.

Abstract
Shellac is a physically refined form of lac resin, a natural biopolymer of animal origin obtained from tiny insects feeding on the sap of specific host trees. Shellac, in its basic form, is a polyester macromolecule composed of inter and intra esters of polyhydroxy aliphatic and sesquiterpene acids. It has been used in several industries for ages due to its exceptional properties such as film-forming, adhering, bonding, thermoplasticity, water-resistance and easy solubility in spirit and aqueous alkali solvents. From the beginning of the 21st century, due to increasing demand for natural products, a paradigm shift in the scope and applications of shellac has been witnessed, especially in green electronics, 3D printing, stealth technology, intelligent sensors, food and pharmaceutical industries. Shellac offers enormous potential for greener technologies as a natural and environmentally friendly material. This review provides an insight into the lac in detail, covering various forms of the lac, structure, properties, different applications of shellac and its future potential. This article would benefit the researchers involved in shellac research and others looking for natural and greener alternatives to synthetic polymers in various applications.

Abstract
Blackcurrant anthocyanins (BCA) can be used to improve the structure and properties of konjac glucomannan (KGM)/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) composite film. In this study, the microstructure of the KGM/CMC/BCA composite film was evaluated. The results show that BCA is uniformly dispersed in the KC matrix, which changes the mechanical properties of the film (tensile strength (TS): 55.00 → 38.44 MPa and elongation at break (EB): 8.60 → 3.67%) and barrier properties (water vapor permeability (WVP): 0.67 → 2.53 g·mm/m2 day kPa). With the addition of BCA (0.05, 0.15, 0.20 wt%), the composite film exhibits higher thermal stability. Among them, 0.15 wt% has the best thermal stability. The composite film also shows the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of BCA, and has an inhibitory effect on food-borne pathogens. The composite film will show different colors in different buffers, which can be observed with the naked eye. Therefore, KGM/CMC/BCA film can be applied to smart food packaging to realize real-time monitoring of meat product quality.

Abstract
Antimicrobial activity is a promising property for food packaging which could prolong the shelf life of food products. In this paper, the physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of konjac glucomannan (KGM)/soluble green tea powder (SGTP) edible films were firstly prepared and analyzed through light barrier properties, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), tensile strength (TS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that appropriate addition of SGTP could improve the TS of composite films. With the increase of SGTP content, the transmittance of the films in the ultraviolet region decreased obviously, and the thermal stability was improved in a SGTP dependent manner. KGM/SGTP films present a fairly smooth and flat surface without any fracture when 0.5% SGTP was provided. The bacteriostatic test showed that the bacteriostatic performance of the composite films against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was also significantly enhanced. When 1% SGTP was provided, the zones of inhibition for Escherichia coli and Staphyloccocus aureus reached to 13.45 ± 0.94 mm and 13.76 ± 0.92 mm, respectively. Overall, the KGM/SGTP films showed great potential as bioactive packaging materials to extend food shelf life.

Abstract
In this study, environmentally friendly bionanocomposite films were prepared by incorporating phlorotannins from Sargassum (PS) into konjac glucomannan (KGM)/cotton cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) composites. The effects of different concentrations of PS (5%, 9%, 13%, and 17%, w/w) on the microstructure, physical properties, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the resultant bionanocomposite films were evaluated. The results of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectra showed that PS was well compatible with the KGM/CNC composites matrix, which led to form a compact and uniform structure of the films. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry demonstrated that incorporating PS improved the heat stability of KGM/CNC bionanocomposite films. And addition of the appropriate amount of PS improved the mechanical and water-vapor barrier-related properties of the bionanocomposite film. For instance, with 9% PS, the tensile strength of the KGM/CNC/PS bionanocomposite film increased by 33.9%, and the water-vapor transmittance decreased by 41.67% compared to that of the KGM/CNC films. Moreover, the addition of PS endowed the KGM/CNC film with excellent antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Therefore, KGM/CNC/PS bionanocomposite films have great potential to be applicated as active packaging in the food packaging industry.

Abstract
This review considers the most recent developments in supramolecular and supraparticle structures obtained from natural, renewable biopolymers as well as their disassembly and reassembly into engineered materials. We introduce the main interactions that control bottom-up synthesis and top-down design at different length scales, highlighting the promise of natural biopolymers and associated building blocks. The latter have become main actors in the recent surge of the scientific and patent literature related to the subject. Such developments make prominent use of multicomponent and hierarchical polymeric assemblies and structures that contain polysaccharides (cellulose, chitin, and others), polyphenols (lignins, tannins), and proteins (soy, whey, silk, and other proteins). We offer a comprehensive discussion about the interactions that exist in their native architectures (including multicomponent and composite forms), the chemical modification of polysaccharides and their deconstruction into high axial aspect nanofibers and nanorods. We reflect on the availability and suitability of the latter types of building blocks to enable superstructures and colloidal associations. As far as processing, we describe the most relevant transitions, from the solution to the gel state and the routes that can be used to arrive to consolidated materials with prescribed properties. We highlight the implementation of supramolecular and superstructures in different technological fields that exploit the synergies exhibited by renewable polymers and biocolloids integrated in structured materials.

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.

J Food Sci 2021; 86:513-522. [PMID: 33415755 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2020] [Revised: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
This study investigates the efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum strains (L. plantarum LP3, L. plantarum AF1, and L. plantarum LU5) incorporated into a Konjac-based edible coating in order to prevent fungi growth and retain physicochemical characteristics of fresh-cut kiwis kept at 4 °C for 5 days. For this purpose, probiotic survivability, fungi counts, decay percentage, color changes, titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid content, chlorophyll amount, total phenolics, and DPPH radical scavenging of fresh-cut kiwis were evaluated. Results indicated that the population of L. plantarum strains in all treated groups retained at sufficient amounts of probiotic consumption (above 6 and 7 log CFU/g) at the end of the storage period and L. plantarum LP3 had the highest viability in comparison to other strains. The incorporation of L. plantarum in Konjac coatings markedly reduced the amount of decay and color changes and maintained the chlorophyll and ascorbic acid contents of fresh-cut kiwis compared to control samples. After 5 days of storage, total phenol content and the DPPH antiradical activities of coated kiwi slices treated with probiotics were observed about 1.2 and 10.23 g/kg compared to the pure Konjac-coated (0.84 and 7.6 g/kg) and Konjac-uncoated samples (0.44 and 4.1 g/kg), respectively. No significant difference in TSS and TA of various treatments was detected. Coated kiwi slices loaded with probiotics had higher overall acceptability compared to Konjac-coated and control samples. In addition, probiotic treatment significantly reduced mold and yeast counts compared to the control group. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Recently, edible films have received more consideration as a promising method to enhance the shelf life of fresh-cut fruit. The presence of probiotics in edible films reduces the growth of spoilage microorganisms and improves consumer health. Our findings encourage the application of edible coating incorporated with L. plantarum to design multifunctional foods and preserve the qualities of fresh-cut kiwifruit.

Abstract
Biodegradable films are a promising strategy to reduce the environmental impact caused by conventional plastics commonly used in agriculture. This study focused on the production and characterization of Konjac glucomannan (KGM) and alginate (ALG) based films enriched with sugarcane vinasse (VIN), a nutrient-rich wastewater generated in large volumes by the sugar-ethanol producing industries. ALG, KGM and ALG/KGM blended (50:50) films were produced by casting and treated with calcium ions (Ca2+) (ALG films) and a combination of Ca2+, alkali, and ethanol (KGM and ALG/KGM films). Vinasse addition tended to reduce transparency and water resistance of the films and had less effect on their mechanical properties. Crosslinking of ALG films resulted in enhanced mechanical properties and reduced moisture content, water solubility, swelling, water vapor permeability, and flexibility. KGM films were less impacted by crosslinking/deacetylation but showed improved water resistance while maintain a high degree of swelling (290% and 185% for KGM and KGM/VIN films respectively). Blended films exhibited characteristic properties of the two biopolymers and adequate compatibility indicated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and morphologies. Vinasse-added ALG/KGM films represent a novel nutrient-enriched, bio-based material for agricultural applications and could help to face the environmental challenges imposed by vinasse disposal.

Formation Mechanism of Bleaching Damage for a Biopolymer: Differences between Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching Methods for Shellac. ACS OMEGA 2020; 5:22551-22559.

Abstract
Bleached shellac, a widely used material in food processing and products, was deeply affected in terms of structures and properties by the bleaching method. In the present study, a marked difference was observed between the damage performances of sodium hypochlorite-bleached shellac (SHBS) and hydrogen peroxide-bleached shellac (HPBS). The main bleaching damage reactions of sodium hypochlorite were the addition of double bonds to generate chlorine and the oxidation of hydroxyl to form aldehydes or ketones. In the case of hydrogen peroxide, degradation of shellac resin was caused by the hydrolysis of ester bonds and the oxidation of hydroxyl groups to form aldehydes and ketones, as well as carboxylic acids with deep oxidation. Based on the structural characterization of shellac resin, the bleaching damages were affected by the bleaching agent via the oxidizable groups, such as the unsaturated double bonds, hydroxyl and aldehyde groups in cyclic terpenes, and fatty acid chains. The differences could be attributed to the action of sodium hypochlorite on the hydroxyl group of aldehyde or ketone. Conversely, hydrogen peroxide bleaching oxidized the hydroxyl group and aldehyde group to carboxylic acid and initiated the hydrolysis reaction of the ester bond of the shellac resin, leading to the degradation of the resin. Thus, understanding the mechanism underlying the bleaching damage could provide a scientific basis for the subsequent targeted regulation of bleaching damage.

Abstract
The efficacy of saffron petal extract (SPE; 1%-4%) incorporated into Konjac glucomannan (KGM) edible films on the quality and shelf life of fresh-cut cucumbers was evaluated. Changes in chemical, physical, and microbial properties, antioxidant activity, and total soluble phenolic contents of sliced cucumbers during storage at 4°C for 5 days were investigated. Results showed that the addition of SPE markedly reduced the water vapor permeability features of produced films, whereas the moisture content and transparency of them increased (p < .05). All the formulated films containing 1%-4% of SPE exhibited significant antimicrobial properties against the examined pathogens (Escherichia coli, Shigella sonnei, Salmonella Typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus) both in vitro and in vivo conditions. KGM films incorporated SPE were successful in reducing mesophilic bacteria and fungi populations so that the microbial load significantly decreased as the concentrations of SPE increased and KGM + 4% of SPE was considered as the most effective treatment in decreasing the microbial content of sliced cucumbers. Total soluble solids of the treated cucumbers were significantly increased at the end of the storage in refrigerator, compared to the control sample. Moreover, antioxidant activity (DPPH assay) and total soluble phenols in treated fruit increased with storage time, while these parameters decreased with increasing concentrations of SPE incorporated into KGM film. So according to the findings, the introduced film with KGM and SPE could be considered as an edible film and be applied to preserve the fruit and vegetables quality and extend the shelf life of sliced cucumbers.

Abstract
The present study aims to develop the new composite films by blending Konjac glucomannan (KGM) and pullulan with different ratios and concentrations. The structural, physical, barrier properties and morphology of the films were investigated and the practical use on strawberry preservation at 4 ± 1 °C, 85 %±5% relative humidity (RH) and 25 ± 1 °C, 55 %±5% RH was evaluated. Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy indicated the well-dispersion of film matrix was due to the good compatibility of the components. The mechanical and barrier properties of blend films were markedly enhanced although the light transmittance of which were decreased slightly. It was a further proof that 1% (w/v) KGM/pullulan (with the mass ratio of 2:1) blend film could decrease the weight loss significantly and maintain the titratable acidity, soluble solids and skin color on the strawberry preservation, thus improving the qualities of strawberries during storage time and offering a potential alternative to synthetic materials.

Abstract
Edible coatings and films (ECF) are employed as matrixes for incorporating antimicrobial nanoparticles (NPs), and then they are applied on the fruits and vegetables to prolong shelf life and enhance storage quality. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the preparation, antimicrobial properties and mechanisms, surface and physical qualities of ECF containing antimicrobial NPs, and its efficient application to vegetables and fruits as well. Following an introduction on the properties of the main edible coating materials, the preparation technologies of ECF with NPs are summarized. The antimicrobial activity of ECF with NPs against the tested microorganism was observed by many researchers. This might be mainly due to the electrostatic interaction between the cationic polymer or free metal ions and the charged cell membrane, the photocatalytic reaction of NPs, the detachment of free metal ion, and partly due to the antimicrobial activity of edible materials. Moreover, their physical, mechanical and releasing properties are discussed in detail, which might be influenced by the concentration of NPs. The preservation potential on the quality of fruits and vegetables indicates that various ECF with NPs might be used as the ideal materials for food application. Following the introduction on these characteristics, an attempt is made to predict future trends in this field.
