Development and characterization of a double-layer smart packaging system consisting of polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofibers and gelatin film for fish fillet. Food Chem 2025; 462:140985. [PMID: 39217749 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140985] [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: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 08/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a double-layer film composed of an intelligent, gelatin-based film integrated with active polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofibers (PVANFs). Eggplant skin extract (ESE), a colorimetric indicator, was incorporated into the gelatin-based film at varying concentrations ranging from 0 % to 8 % w/w. The gelatin film containing 8 % ESE was identified as the optimal formulation based on its superior color indication, water barrier, and mechanical properties. Savory essential oil (SEO)-loaded PVANFs were electrospun onto the optimized gelatin film to fabricate the double-layer film. Analysis of the chemical and crystalline structures and the double-layer film's thermal properties confirmed the gelatin film's physical integration with PVANFs. Morphological examination revealed a smooth surface on the film and a uniform fibrillar structure within the PVANFs. Furthermore, the developed double-layer film effectively detected spoilage in trout fish while controlling pH, oxidation, and microbial changes during storage.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:23038. [PMID: 39362946 PMCID: PMC11450179 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-74004-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 09/23/2024] [Indexed: 10/05/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the behavior of smart bilayer films under various temperature and relative humidity (RH). Smart bilayer films were fabricated using sodium alginate with incorporated butterfly pea anthocyanin and agar containing catechin-lysozyme. Cellulose nanospheres were added at concentrations of 0% and 10% w/w of the film and subjected to test at 4 °C and 25 °C, considering different RHs (0%, 50%, and 80%). The results showed that RH had a greater impact on the mechanical properties than temperature, leading to a decrease in tensile strength and an increase in elongation at break with higher RH. The films displayed increased strength but reduced flexibility at low temperatures. Oxygen permeability was negatively affected by increasing RH, while water vapor barrier properties were better at 25 °C than at 4 °C. In terms of color stability, the temperature played a more important role, with both types of smart bilayer films retaining their color stability throughout 14-day storage at 4 °C, even maintaining their ability to change color with pH. However, the films stored at 25 °C exhibited lower color stability and showed potential for color change with varying pH levels, but with lower intensity. The findings of this study demonstrate the significant impact of temperature and RH on the functional properties of smart bilayer films, with and without the addition of cellulose nanospheres. Such smart bilayer films have great potential for various applications, particularly in food packaging, where maintaining color, mechanical, and barrier properties under varying environmental conditions is crucial.

Development of dual-channel starch-based film incorporated with betanin@β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex and berberine for indicating shrimp freshness. Food Chem 2024; 454:139830. [PMID: 38820633 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139830] [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: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
In this study, the β-cyclodextrin encapsulated betanin (BET@β-CD) with improved thermal stability and retention as well as the berberine (BBR) with aggregate induced luminescence effect were incorporated into corn amylose (CA) biomatrix to develop colorimetric/fluorescent dual-channel smart film. Results shown that the added functional components were uniformly distributed in the film matrix. The high tensile strength (78.87%), low water solubility (31.15%) and water vapor permeability (1.24 × 10-10 g Pa-1 s-1 m-1) of the film predicted its acceptable stability. It was worth mentioning that the film displayed excellent responsiveness to volatile ammonia (0.025-25 mg/mL) with at least 4 times recyclability. Application experiment demonstrated that the film can achieve macroscopic dynamic monitoring of the freshness of shrimps stored at 25 °C, 4 °C, -20 °C under daylight (red to yellow) and UV light (yellow-green to blue-green). Thus, the study suggests an attractive and effective strategy for constructing dual-mode smart packaging materials for food freshness detection.

Abstract
An advanced biodegradable packaging film with antimicrobial and fresh-maintaining functions was constructed by incorporating berberine and L-arginine into the starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film matrix. The film was endowed with a dual antibacterial capacity thanks to the intrinsic antibacterial capability of berberine and cascaded photodynamic sterilization. The aggregated berberine presents an excellent photodynamic activity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which further triggers the NO release from L-arginine. Under the synergetic action of ROS and NO, the as-prepared film not only has an antibacterial efficiency of over 99 % against both S. aureus and E. coli but also delays fruit ripening through antagonistic effects on ethylene to extend the shelf life of food. Meanwhile, the as-prepared film presents UV-shielding properties, thermal stability, and considerable mechanical properties. Specifically, the packaging film exhibits good biocompatibility and is biodegradable, with a degradation rate of 56 % within 16 days, which has great potential for improving food safety and environmental events.

Abstract
This study incorporated purple sweet potato anthocyanin (PSPA) and silver-nanoparticles (AgNPs) into the chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol film matrix (PVA/CS) to successfully prepare a composite film, which effectively inhibited bacterial growth and indicated product freshness. The addition of AgNPs and PSPA led to a dense structure of the film, which effectively enhanced its physical properties, barrier properties and functional properties. The incorporation of PSPA made the composite film highly pH-sensitive, which exhibited distinct color changes in varying pH solutions. The PVA/CS-AgNPs-PSPA10 composite film with PSPA and AgNPs resulted the shelf life of strawberries to 13 days at 4 °C, which effectively reduced strawberry breathing during storage. Additionally, such composite film changed color from purple to yellow-purple, indicating the deterioration of strawberries. It also showed an antibacterial indication through its excellent antibacterial property and freshness indication performance, which demonstrated its significance in developing antibacterial indicator composite packaging materials for fruits and vegetables preservation.

Abstract
To develop novel intelligent indicator films, the mixture of anthocyanin (BWA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) were spun into PVA/SA/BWA nanofiber films with BWA concentration of 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, and 15 % (based on PVA and SA) via electrospinning technology. The results showed that the BWA was sensitive to pH and was controlled release from films. With increasing BWA concentration, the fiber diameter, tensile strength, and elongation at break gradually decreased, while water contact angle, thickness, moisture content, and antioxidant properties gradually increased. The electrospinning films exhibited high sensitivity to ammonia with rapid color changes in 1 s and excellent color reversibility and color stability within 21 d. The application for shrimp packaging showed that the colorimetric response of the films was closely related to the changes in pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), and total viable count (TVC) of shrimp. This suggests that the prepared films are promising in application for intelligent packaging.

Abstract
In this study, the PVA/starch blend films were prepared by dry melting method. The microstructure showed that the starch existed in the continuous PVA matrix in granular structure. When the amount of starch was 30 wt%, the tensile strength increased from 12.8 to 14.7 MPa, and the elastic modulus increased from 15.4 to 20.5 MPa, and the water absorption increased by about 2 %. The addition of starch increased the Tmax by 8.1-29.64 °C compared to pure PVA. Considering the mechanical, hydrophilic and optical properties of the blend films, PVA/starch at 7:3 was the most promising packaging material. Notably, the blend films exhibit great reusability and renewability. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of PVA/starch blend films as environmentally friendly materials with enhanced properties.

Abstract
An edible colorimetric label has been developed to determine the freshness level of mushrooms, i.e. white oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). The edible indicator label has been fabricated based on purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) anthocyanins (PSPA) immobilized onto an edible film made of chitosan and cornstarch with added PVA. The freshness parameters of the mushrooms were pH, weight loss, texture, and sensory evaluation. The results showed that the colorimetric label was dark purple when the mushroom was fresh, and turn to light purple when the mushroom was still fresh, and finally green when the mushroom was no longer fresh. The color value (mean Red) of the label was measured using the ImageJ program, where its color value (mean Red) increased with decreasing freshness level of the mushrooms. The edible label can distinguish fresh mushrooms from spoilage, making it suitable to be used in a packaged mushroom as a freshness indicator.

Abstract
Nine varieties of purple sweet potato were steamed and used for the production of shrimp freshness indicators. The impact of purple sweet potato's variety on the structure, physical property and halochromic ability of indicators was determined. Results showed different varieties of purple sweet potato had different starch, crude fiber, pectin, protein, fat and total anthocyanin contents. The microstructure, crystallinity, moisture content, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and elongation at break of indicators were affected by crude fiber content in purple sweet potato. The color, transmission and halochromic ability of indicators was associated with the total anthocyanin content in purple sweet potato. Freshness indicators produced from Fuzi No. 1, Ganzi No. 6, Ningzi No. 2, Ningzi No. 4, Qining No. 2 and Qining No. 18 of purple sweet potato were suitable to indicate shrimp freshness. This study provides useful information on screening suitable varieties of purple sweet potato for intelligent packaging.

Abstract
Monitoring of food freshness is considered one of the crucial challenges for both customers/consumers and the food industries. In this study, we developed a curcumin-based starch film (F1) for pH-sensitive intelligent food packaging application. The starch was obtained from waste seeds of Artocarpus lakoocha (NS-MJF). The native starch underwent various physical and chemical modifications to yield modified starches (S1 [Autoclave heat treated], S2 [osmotic-pressure treated], S3 [citric acid treated]). The native starch was then used further for the formation of curcumin (2.5 % w/w)-based film (F1). We had analyzed these starches for solubility, colour analysis, biodegradability, oil absorption capacity, and moisture content, etc. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed favourable microstructures. The addition of curcumin to the starch enhanced the contact angle and elongation at the break of the resulting films. Antioxidant and antimicrobial assays, along with real-time freshness monitoring of chicken fillets, were also conducted. Thus, our findings may contribute to the optimization of pH-responsive biopolymer-based films for intelligent poultry packaging, promising advancements in food preservation and safety.

Abstract
The escalating environmental crisis posed by single-use plastics underscores the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. This study provides an approach to introduce biodegradable polymer blends by blending synthetic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with natural polymers-corn starch (CS) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-to address this challenge. Through a comprehensive analysis, including of the structure, mechanical strength, water solubility, biodegradability, and thermal properties, we investigated the enhanced performance of PVA-CS and PVA-HPMC blends over conventional polymers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) findings of pure PVA and its blends were studied, and we found a complete homogeneity between the PVA and both types of natural polymers in the case of a high concentration of PVA, whereas at lower concentration of PVA, some granules of CS and HMPC appear in the SEM. Blending corn starch (CS) with PVA significantly boosts its biodegradability in soil environments, since adding starch of 50 w/w duplicates the rate of PVA biodegradation. Incorporating hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) with PVA not only improves water solubility but also enhances biodegradation rates, as the addition of HPMC increases the biodegradation of pure PVA from 10 to 100% and raises the water solubility from 80 to 100%, highlighting the significant acceleration of the biodegradation process and water solubility caused by HPMC addition, making these blends suitable for a wide range of applications, from packaging and agricultural films to biomedical engineering. The thermal properties of pure PVA and its blends with natural were studied using diffraction scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is found that the glass transition temperature (Tg) increases after adding natural polymers to PVA, referring to an improvement in the molecular weight and intermolecular interactions between blend molecules. Moreover, the amorphous structure of natural polymers makes the melting temperature ™ lessen after adding natural polymer, so the blends require lower temperature to remelt and be recycled again. For the mechanical properties, both types of natural polymer decrease the tensile strength and elongation at break, which overall weakens the mechanical properties of PVA. Our findings offer a promising pathway for the development of environmentally friendly polymers that do not compromise on performance, marking a significant step forward in polymer science's contribution to sustainability. This work presents detailed experimental and theoretical insights into novel polymerization methods and the utilization of biological strategies for advanced material design.

Intelligent Food Packaging: Quaternary Ammonium Chitosan/Gelatin Blended Films Enriched with Blueberry Anthocyanin-Derived Cyanidin for Shrimp and Milk Freshness Monitoring. Foods 2024; 13:2237. [PMID: 39063321 PMCID: PMC11275320 DOI: 10.3390/foods13142237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Blueberry anthocyanin-derived cyanidin (BAC) was used to prepare a series of responsive food freshness packaging films by compounding it with quaternary chitosan (QC) and gelatin (G). The fundamental properties, pH sensitivity, and functional attributes of the films were examined. The BAC solutions exhibited notable variations in color (from red to pink to violet) under different pH conditions. The incorporation of BAC resulted in improved UV-vis shielding capabilities but compromised the mechanical strength of the films (with tensile strength values from 85.02 to 44.89 MPa, elongation at break from 13.08% to 3.6%, and water vapor transmission rates from 5.24 × 10-9 to 7.80 × 10-9 g m-1 s-1 Pa-1). The QC-G-BAC films, containing 5-15 wt% BAC, exhibited noticeable color changes in acidic/ammonia environments within a short timeframe, easily discernible to the naked eye. Furthermore, the inclusion of BAC significantly enhanced the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the films. The addition of 5-15 wt% BAC to QC-G-BAC films could be employed for assessing the freshness of fresh shrimp (from red to dark red) and pasteurized milk (from red to dark earthy yellow). Among them, the total color difference (ΔE) of QC-G-BAC5 film was significantly correlated with the pH, acidity, and total colony count of pasteurized milk (R = 0.846, -0.930, -0.908, respectively). This new concept in smart packaging offers a straightforward and user-friendly freshness indicator.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to develop a pH-sensing biopolymer film based on the immobilization of red cabbage extract (RCE) within bacterial cellulose (BC) to detect contamination and gamma radiation exposure in cucumbers. The results obtained show a sensitivity to pH changes for RCE in its aqueous form and that incorporated within BC films (RCE-BC), both showed color change correlated to bacterial growth (R2 = 0.91), this was supported with increase in pH values from 2 to 12 (R2 = 0.98). RCE and RCE-BC exposure to gamma radiation (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 kGy) resulted in gradual decrease in color that was more evident in RCE aqueous samples. To sense bacterial contamination of cucumbers, the total count was followed at 0, 5, 10 and 15 days in cold storage conditions and was found to reach 9.13 and 5.47 log cfu/mL for non-irradiated and 2 kGy irradiated samples, respectively. The main isolates detected throughout this storage period were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Erwinia sp. Pantoea agglomerans using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-ms (MALDI-TOF-MS). Bacterial growth in stored irradiated cucumbers was detected by color change within 5 and 10 days of storage, after which there was no evident change. This is very useful since contamination within the early days of storage cannot be sensed with the naked eye. This study is the first to highlight utilizing RCE and RCE-BC as eco-friendly pH-sensing indicator films for intelligent food packaging to detect both food contamination and gamma preservation for refrigerator stored cucumbers.

Abstract
In recent years, the development of environmentally friendly packaging materials using biodegradable polymers has emerged as a key challenge for scientists and consumers in response to resource depletion and environmental issues caused by plastic packaging materials. Starch and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are being recognized as excellent candidates for producing biodegradable food packaging films. Polymer blending has emerged as a practical approach to overcome the limitations of biopolymer films by developing films with unique properties and enhancing overall performance. This review briefly introduces the molecular structure and properties of starch and PVA, summarizes the common preparation methods and properties of starch/PVA blend films, and focuses on different strategies used to enhance starch/PVA blend films, including nanoparticles, plant extracts, and cross-linking agents. Additionally, this study summarizes the application of starch/PVA blend films as active and smart packaging in food preservation systems. This study demonstrates that starch and PVA blends have potential in manufacturing biodegradable food films with excellent properties due to their excellent compatibility and intermolecular interactions, and can be used as packaging films for a variety of foods to extend their shelf life.

Abstract
One of the main issues that customers worldwide have is food adulteration. In commercial packages, freshness cannot always be determined visually. Here, we propose sensitive films for use in food packaging that could alter colour to indicate a change in freshness. Hybrid, multifunctional, and eco-friendly films were prepared from polyvinyl alcohol/palmyra root sprout (PVA/PRS), fused with soy protein isolate carbon dot (CD), Boswellia serrata (BS), and Clitoriaternatea anthocyanin (CTE). The films showed pH sensitivity, antioxidant, and UV barrier properties. By creating hydrogen bonds between PRS and the other fillers, adding these substances makes PVA less crystallized. These interactions were verified by infrared Fourier-transform analysis. When compared to PVA, PRS films had significantly lower moisture content and swelling ratios. The UV-blocking capabilities of the films were greatly improved by the addition of CD, BS, and CTE without compromising their mechanical, thermal, or water vapor barrier properties. The composite film PVA/PRS/CD/BS/CTE exhibited a maximum tensile strength value of 69.47 ± 1.49 MPa. The CT extract provides the film with superior antioxidant properties. The colorimetric films PVA/PRS/CTE and PVA/PRS/CD/BS/CTE showed distinct pH-responsive colour-change properties as well as good colour stability. The colorimetric films were used to test the freshness of sardine fish, and they revealed unique colour changes that indicated whether the fish sample was spoiled or not.

Abstract
Although the active and intelligent properties of rich in anthocyanin extracts added to films have been extensively studied, there remains a sparsity of research pertaining to the miscibility of blended films. This work focused on the miscibility of the chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CP) film caused by the addition of Aronia melanocarpa extracts (AME), which are rich anthocyanins and phenolic acids, and its effect on physicochemical and functional properties. AME facilitated the amidation reaction and ionic interaction of chitosan in CP films, leading to loss of the crystallinity degree of chitosan. Furthermore, the crystal disruption promoted the formation of hydrogen bonds with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with the promoted miscibility. CP film incorporated with 8 % AME possessed the highest tensile strength (26.79 MPa), and elongation at break (66.38 %) as well as excellent ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) light barrier property, water vapor barrier properties, due to its high miscibility degree. Moreover, this film also showed excellent antioxidant, antibacterial activity, and pH response function, which could be used to monitor the storage of highly perishable shrimp. Hence, the AME provided extra functionality and improved miscibility between chitosan and PVA, which showed great potential for the preparation of high-performance bioactive-fortified and intelligent food packaging films.

Abstract
The poor mechanical properties, low water-resistance, and limited antimicrobial activity of chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based film limited its application in aquatic product preservation. Herein, bacterial cellulose (BC) was used to load ginger essential oil (GEO). The effects of the addition of BC and different concentrations of GEO on the physicochemical and antimicrobial activities of films were systematically evaluated. Finally, the application of sea bass fillets was investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) analysis indicated dense networks were formed, which was verified by enhanced physical properties. The mechanical properties, barrier properties, and antimicrobial activities enhanced as GEO concentration increased. CPB0.8 (0.8 % GEO) film had better tensile strength (TS) and barrier performance, improved the quality, and extended the shelf-life of sea bass for another 6 days at least. Overall, active films are potential packaging materials for aquatic products.

Abstract
Approximately 50% of global plastic wastes are produced from plastic packaging, a substantial amount of which is disposed of within a few minutes of its use. Although many plastic types are designed for single use, they are not always disposable. It is now widely acknowledged that the production and disposal of plastics have led to a plethora of negative consequences, including the contamination of both groundwater and soil resources and the deterioration of human health. The undeniable impact of excessive plastic manufacturing and waste generation on the global plastic pollution crisis has been well documented. Therefore, degradable polymers are a crucial solution to the problem of the non-degradation of plastic wastes. The disadvantage of degradable polymers is their high cost, so blending them with natural polymers will reduce the cost of final products and maximize their degradation rate, making degradable polymers competitive with industrial polymers that are currently in use daily. In this work, we will delineate various degradable polymers, including polycaprolactone, starch, and cellulose. Furthermore, we will elucidate several aspects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and its blends with natural polymers to show the effects of adding natural polymers on PVA properties. This paper will study cost-effective and ecologically acceptable polymers by combining inexpensive natural polymers with readily accessible biodegradable polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).

Abstract
Natural phytochemicals are well known to protect against numerous metabolic disorders. Anthocyanins are vacuolar pigments belonging to the parent class of flavonoids. They are well known for their potent antioxidant and gut microbiome-modulating properties, primarily responsible for minimizing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and several other diseases associated with metabolic syndromes. Berries are the primary source of anthocyanin in the diet. The color and stability of anthocyanins are substantially influenced by external environmental conditions, constraining their applications in foods. Furthermore, the significantly low bioavailability of anthocyanins greatly diminishes the extent of the actual health benefits linked to these bioactive compounds. Multiple strategies have been successfully developed and utilized to enhance the stability and bioavailability of anthocyanins. This review provides a comprehensive view of the recent advancements in chemistry, biosynthesis, dietary sources, stabilization, bioavailability, industrial applications, and health benefits of anthocyanins. Finally, we summarize the prospects and challenges of applications of anthocyanin in foods.

Abstract
Sustainable methods such as convective drying have regained interest in reducing the loss and waste of food produce. Combined with techniques like blanching and edible coatings, they could serve as useful tools in food processing development. Composite coatings comprising pectin, soy protein isolate, and xanthan gum were optimized using response surface methodology with the Box-Behnken design. This optimization aimed to investigate their effects on the moisture content, water activity, total color, and rehydration ratio of fresh and blanched chayote slices. Additionally, the study explored the modeling of the drying kinetics and sorption isotherms of chayote (Sechium edule) slices. Soy protein and xanthan gum were found to primarily influence the moisture content (ranging from 5.44% to 9.93%), and pectin influenced water activity (033 to 0.53) of the fresh-coated chayote, while pectin affected the aw (2.13-8.28) and rehydration of the blanch-coated chayote. The optimized formulations for both fresh and blanched chayote were utilized to assess the drying kinetics behavior and sorption isotherms. The best fit (R2: 0.996 to 0.999) was achieved with the parabolic model for thin-layer materials. Furthermore, the sorption isotherms of chayote displayed a Type IV behavior, with the BET model being the most suitable for describing the sorption behavior of materials with low water activity. The predicted values offer valuable data for optimizing processing conditions to enhance the quality and stability of dried chayote.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130813. [PMID: 38479667 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130813] [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: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
In this study, an active and intelligent nanofilm for monitoring and maintaining the freshness of pork was developed using ethyl cellulose/gelatin matrix through electrospinning, with the addition of natural purple sweet potato anthocyanin. The nanofilm exhibited discernible color variations in response to pH changes, and it demonstrated a higher sensitivity towards volatile ammonia compared with casting film. Notably, the experimental findings regarding the wettability and pH response performance indicated that the water contact angle between 70° and 85° was more favorable for the smart response of pH sensitivity. Furthermore, the film exhibited desirable antioxidant activities, water vapor barrier properties and also good antimicrobial activities with the incorporation of ε-polylysine, suggesting the potential as a food packaging film. Furthermore, the application preservation outcomes revealed that the pork packed with the nanofilm can prolong shelf life to 6 days, more importantly, a distinct color change aligned closely with the points indicating the deterioration of the pork was observed, changing from light pink (indicating freshness) to light brown (indicating secondary freshness) and then to brownish green (indicating spoilage). Hence, the application of this multifunctional film in intelligent packaging holds great potential for both real-time indication and efficient preservation of the freshness of animal-derived food items.

Abstract
To address the issue of food spoilage causing health and economic loss, we developed a pH/NH3 dual sensitive hydrogel based on polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CS) containing chitosan-phenol red (CP). The CP was synthesized via Mannich reaction and immobilized it in PVA/CS hydrogel through freezing/thawing method to prepare the final PVA/CS/CP hydrogel. The synthesis of CP was confirmed by 1H NMR, FT-IR, XRD, UV-vis, and XPS. The characteristics of hydrogel were evaluated by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, mechanical properties, thermal stability, leaching, and color stability tests. The PVA/CS/CP hydrogel showed distinctly different color at various pH and NH3 vapor levels (yellow to purple). The hydrogel exhibited obvious color changes (ΔE = 46.95) in response to shrimp spoilage, stored at 4 °C. It showed positive and strong correlation between the ΔE values of the indicator hydrogel and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) as (R2 = 0.9573) and with pH as (R2 = 0.8686), respectively. These results clearly show that the PVA/CS/CP hydrogel could be applied for naked-eye real-time monitoring of seafood freshness in intelligent packaging.

Smart labels based on polyvinyl alcohol incorporated with chitosan nanoparticles loaded with grape extract: Functionality, stability and food application. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130513.

Abstract
Anthocyanins (ACNs) are natural compounds with potential applications due to their colorimetric response to pH. Due to their sensitivity to various environmental factors, nanoencapsulation with biopolymers is a successful strategy for stabilizing ACNs. In this work ACNs were extracted from grape skins and encapsulated into chitosan (CS) nanoparticles by ionic gelation using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a cross-linking agent. CS nanoparticles loaded with ACNs had particle sizes between 291 and 324 nm and polydispersity index around 0.3. The encapsulation efficiency of ACNs was approximately 60 %; and encapsulated anthocyanins (ACN-NPs) exhibited color change properties under different pH conditions. pH-sensitive labels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were prepared by the casting method. The effect of incorporating ACN-NPs on the physical, structural, and pH-sensitive properties of PVA labels was evaluated, and its application as shrimp freshness indicator was studied. The nanoencapsulation protected ACNs against heat and light treatments, preserving the original purple color. When applying the label, visible changes from red to blue until reaching yellow were observed with the change in the quality of the shrimp at the refrigeration temperature. The results suggest that PVA labels containing ACNs encapsulated in C-NPs can be used as smart packaging labels in the food industry.

Effect of using biodegradable film constituting red grape anthocyanins as a novel packaging on the qualitative attributes of emergency food bars during storage. Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:2702-2723. [PMID: 38628210 PMCID: PMC11016447 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
This study presents a novel packaging film based on whey protein isolate/κ-carrageenan (WC) with red grape pomace anthocyanins (RGA) to investigate its impact on some qualitative attributes of emergency food bars (EFBs) for 6 months at 38°C. Increasing the RGA dose in WC films from 5% (WCA5) to 10% (WCA10) reduced hydrogen bonding between polymers and polymer homogeneity in the matrix according to FTIR and SEM. Tensile strength slightly declined in WCA5 from 7.47 ± 0.26 to 6.97 ± 0.12, while elongation increased from 27.74 ± 1.36 to 32.36 ± 1.25% compared to WC film. The maximum weight loss temperature (TM) increased by incorporating 5 wt% RGA from 182.95°C to 244.36°C, whereas TM declined to 187.19°C in WCA10 film. WVP and OTR slightly changed in WCA5 (from 7.83 ± 0.07 and 2.57 ± 0.18 to 8.41 ± 0.03 g H2O.m/m2.Pa.s × 10-9 and 1.79 ± 0.32 cm3 O2/m2.d.bar, respectively), but significantly impaired in WCA10 compared to WC film. WCA5 and WCA10 films had high AA%, 68.77%, and 79.21%, respectively. WCA10 film presented great antimetrical properties against Staphylococcus aureus with an inhibition zone of 6.00 mm. The light transmission of RGA-contained films in the UV spectrum was below 10%. The WCA5 film effectively restrained moisture loss and hardness increment until the end of the storage period, which were 14.33% and 28.76%, respectively, compared to day 0. Antioxidant films provided acceptable resistance against oxidation to EBF treatment. Sensory panels scored WCA5 and WCA10 higher in overall acceptance with 5.64 and 5.40 values, respectively, while complaining about the hardness of OPP treatment. The results of this investigation demonstrated that incorporating RGA, preferably 5 wt%, into WC-based film effectively improved the qualitative properties of EFB during the 6-month shelf life. This film might be a promising alternative for packaging light and oxygen-sensitive food products.

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
The aim of this work was to fabricate an intelligent film using sago starch incorporated with the natural source of anthocyanins from the Bauhinia Kockiana flower and use it to monitor the freshness of coconut milk. The films were developed using the casting method that included the addition of the different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15 mg) of Bauhinia Kockiana extract (BKE) obtained using a solvent. The anthocyanin content of Bauhinia Kockiana was 262.17 ± 9.28 mg/100 g of fresh flowers. The spectral characteristics of BKE solutions, cross-section morphology, physiochemical, barrier, and mechanical properties, and the colour variations of films in different pH buffers were investigated. Films having the highest BKE concentration demonstrated the roughest structure and highest thickness (0.16 mm), moisture content (9.72 %), swelling index (435.83 %), water solubility (31.20 %), and elongation at break (262.32 %) compared to the other films. While monitoring the freshness of coconut milk for 16 h, BKE15 showed remarkable visible colour changes (from beige to dark brown), and the pH of coconut milk dropped from 6.21 to 4.56. Therefore, sago starch film incorporated with BKE has excellent potential to act as an intelligent pH film in monitoring the freshness of coconut milk.

Abstract
The limitation of conventional packaging in demonstrating accurate and real-time food expiration dates leads to food waste and foodborne diseases. Real-time food quality monitoring via intelligent packaging could be an effective solution to reduce food waste and foodborne illnesses. This review focuses on recent technological advances incorporated into food packaging for monitoring food spoilage, with a major focus on paper-based sensors and their combination with smartphone. This review paper offers a comprehensive exploration of advanced macromolecular technologies in biodegradable packaging, a general overview of paper-based probes and their incorporation into food packaging coupled with intelligent sensing mechanisms for monitoring food freshness. Given the escalating global concerns surrounding food waste, our manuscript serves as a pivotal resource, consolidating current research findings and highlighting the transformative potential of these innovative packaging solutions. We also highlight the current intelligent paper-based food freshness sensors and their various advantages and limitations. Examples of implementation of paper-based sensors/probes for food storage and their accuracy are presented. Finally, we examined how intelligent packaging can be an alternative to reduce food waste. Several technologies discussed here have good potential to be used in food packaging for real-time food monitoring, especially when combined with smartphone diagnosis.

Abstract
This study aimed to produce spray dried acerola juice microparticles with different protein carriers to be incorporated into edible starch films. The microparticles were evaluated for solids recovery, polyphenol retention, solubility, hygroscopicity, particle size distribution, X-ray diffraction, phytochemical compounds and antioxidant activity. Acerola microparticles produced with WPI/hydrolysed collagen carriers (AWC) with higher solids recovery (53.5 ± 0.34% w/w), polyphenol retention (74.4 ± 0.44% w/w), high solubility in water (85.2 ± 0.4% w/w), total polyphenol content (128.45 ± 2.44 mg GAE/g) and good storage stability were selected to produce starch-based films by casting. As a result, cassava films with water vapour permeability of 0.29 ± 0.07 g mm/m2 h KPa, polyphenol content of 10.15 ± 0.22 mg GAE/g film and DPPH radical scavenging activity of 6.57 ± 0.13 μM TE/g film, with greater migration of polyphenol to water (6.30 ± 0.52 mg GAE/g film) were obtained. Our results show that the incorporation of phytochemical-rich fruit microparticles is a promising strategy to create biodegradable edible films.

Abstract
Food packaging detection devices have attracted attention to optimize storage situations and reduce food spoilage. However, low-cost and highly sensitive multifunctional sensors for detecting both food freshness and packaging pressure are still lacking. In this study, a multifunctional sensor was developed consisting of a MXene coated alcohol-soluble polyurethane fiber network (MXene/APU) and composite biohydrogel films made of konjac glucomannan, chitosan, and blueberry anthocyanin (KCB). Based on the pressure sensitivity of MXene/APU and the color changes of KCB in response to pH values, the sensor can detect internal package bulging, external squeezing, and food deterioration. The pressure sensor shows a sensitivity of 1.16 kPa-1, a response time of 200 ms, a wide strain range of 1092%, and stability over multiple loops. The pressure sensor could detect human motion and identify surface morphologies. The excellent sensor performance was attributed to the porous structure and large specific surface area of microfiber networks, conductivity of MXene nanosheets, and protective effect of KCB films coated on the conductive membrane. Besides, the microfluidic blow-spinning method used to prepare microfiber networks showed the advantages of low energy consumption and high production efficiency. Based on the color changes of blueberry anthocyanin loaded in KCB films in response to pH, the sensor realized sensitive spoilage detection of food containing protein. This study provides a new multifunctional food packaging sensing device and a greater understanding of the optimization and application of related devices.

Abstract
An antioxidative and pH-sensitive multifunctional film, incorporating anthocyanin-rich purple sweet potato extract (PPE) was fabricated from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA)/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na). The film was composed of 6:4 PVA:SA/CMC-Na (mass ratio, SA:CMC-Na at 1:1) with added PPE, and changed color with changes in pH, and also had useful UV-blocking, antioxidant, mechanical, and water vapor barrier properties, which enable its use as a food coating film. In addition, the incorporation of 300 mg PPE increased the biodegradability of the film in soil from 52.47 ± 1.12% to 64.29 ± 1.75% at 17 days. The pH sensitivity of the film enabled its successful use for the evaluation of pork freshness. Cherries coated with the film had an extended shelf life from 3-4 to 7-9 days, during storage at 25 °C. Consequently, the multifunctional film can be applied to packaging for real-time pH/freshness monitoring and for effectively preserving the freshness of meat and fruit.

Qi Y, Li Y. Colorimetric Films Based on Polyvinyl Alcohol and Anthocyanins Extracted from Purple Tomato to Monitor the Freshness of Shrimp. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:495. [PMID: 38399873 PMCID: PMC10893486 DOI: 10.3390/polym16040495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Anthocyanin extracts from purple tomato (PTA) were incorporated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), resulting in a series of colorimetric PVA/PTA films with PTA concentrations of 0%, 1%, 3%, and 5% (based on PVA). The role of anthocyanin on color response, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), thickness, water content, mechanical properties, antioxidant activity, and water vapor permeability (WVP) through the films was examined. In addition, its application in smart packaging to assess the freshness of shrimp was studied. It was found that the tensile strength, contact angle and WVP of PVA/PTA films increases with the addition of more PTA, while the elongation at break and water content decreased. FTIR analysis showed that there are interactions between PTA and the PVA matrix. The addition of anthocyanins caused significant improvement in the antioxidant properties of PVA films. Furthermore, the total volatile alkaline nitrogen (TVB-N), total plate count (TPC), and pH value of shrimp were monitored after 4 days of refrigeration, and the color change of the indexes was recorded. The PVA/PTA films changed color from purple to yellow-green during the storage time of 0-4 days for shrimp. This suggests that the film could be used in smart packaging as a real-time freshness indicator for shrimp.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129156. [PMID: 38176494 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to combine various natural pH indicators of anthocyanin from Karanda (CA) with anthocyanin from butterfly pea flower (BA) or curcumin (CC) to improve the sensitivity of CA. CA75/BA25 and CA25/CC75 enhanced the sensitivity of the endpoint colour change of CA. A smart colorimetric sensing film was also developed and characterised by loading different natural pH indicators on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) films. The addition of different natural pH indicators increased the thickness, elongation, colour (a* and b* values), and contact angle of CMC films (p < 0.05). However, the tensile strength, water vapour permeability, film solubility, light transmission, and L* value decreased when different natural pH indicators were added (p < 0.05). The indicator films demonstrated enhanced antioxidant capacity and thermal stability. The FTIR spectra showed that natural pH indicators were successfully immobilised into the CMC films. Notably, the CMC/CA75/BA25 film was the most sensitive film to changes in volatile ammonia and different pH buffer solutions. The CMC/CA75/BA25 film changed from purple to green with exposure to ammonia solution and from pink to purple to blue to green with increasing pH. Therefore, the CMC/CA75/BA25 film has potential as a colorimetric sensing film, providing a more accurate assessment result.

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was blended with high amylose starch (HAS) at a ratio of 3:1, and reinforced with montmorillonite (MMT K10) at different concentrations (1, 2, 5, and 7 % w/w of polymers) and anthocyanins (ANT) to develop an active and smart packaging film. MMT addition enhanced the film's mechanical, barrier, thermal, and water resistance properties. Incorporating ANT extracted from roselle calyx into the optimal nanocomposite film (MMT/PVA-HAS II) increased the films' antioxidant, pH-response, and antibacterial properties. FTIR, XRD, and SEM confirmed the intermolecular interactions and even distribution of ANT and MMT in the film matrix. Release rate of ANT was dependent on type of simulant, with higher rate in aqueous solutions compared to alcoholic/fatty food simulants, and cytotoxicity evaluation proved safety of films for food packaging applications. Storage experiments confirmed the potential applicability of the novel halochromic smart film as a promising candidate for monitoring chicken spoilage under abusive storage conditions.

Abstract
The limited mechanical performance and responsiveness of protein-based smart packaging materials have hindered their development. To address these issues, this study prepared a pH-responsive smart film by introducing dialdehyde carboxylated cellulose nanofibers (DCCNFs) as the cross-linking agent capable of covalently reacting with proteins, and bilberry extract (BE) as a pH-responsive indicator into pea protein isolate (PPI) matrix. The results demonstrated that adding DCCNF and BE enhanced the PPI film's thermal stability, density, and UV barrier properties. Tensile tests revealed significant improvements in both tensile strength and elongation at the break for the resulting film. Furthermore, films containing DCCNF and BE exhibited lower moisture content, swelling ratio, water vapor permeability, and relative oxygen transmission compared to PPI films. Notably, the anthocyanins in BE endowed the film with visual color changes corresponding to different pH values. This feature enabled the film to monitor pork freshness; a transition from acidic to alkaline in pork samples was accompanied by a color change from brown to brownish green in the film as storage time increased. Overall, these findings highlight that this developed film possesses excellent physicochemical properties and sensitive pH response capabilities, making it a promising candidate for future smart packaging applications.

Abstract
Carrageenan-based sustainable active and pH-dependent color-changing composite films were fabricated by blending anthocyanin extracted from sweet potato peel (SPA) with TiO2-doped carbon dots (Ti-CDs) prepared using the biowaste of SPA extraction. The SPA and Ti-CDs were compatible with the carrageenan matrix and were uniformly dispersed in the used polymer to form a homogeneous film with increased mechanical properties. The composite film added with SPA and 3 wt% Ti-CD showed 100 % UV protection, superb antioxidant (100 % DPPH and ABTS scavenging assay), and potent antibacterial activity (complete eradication of foodborne L.monocytogenes and E. coli strains after 3 h incubation). Additionally, the composite films showed distinguishable colorimetric responses to pH 7-12 buffers and volatile ammonia. The intelligent sensing ability of the composite film was assessed through shrimp freshness monitoring, and the film's hue shifted from pink (fresh shrimp) to yellow/brown (inedible shrimp) during storage. Shrimp packaging studies have shown that composite films retard the rate of food quality change during storage and are a good indicator of shrimp spoilage. Therefore, the designed film is expected to have high applicability as a chip, and quick on-site sensor that detects seafood quality in real-time, and a highly effective multifunctional film for better product quality preservation.

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

Abstract
The kinetic release of phenolic compounds from biodegradable films with Clitoria ternatea flower extract (ECT) in different food-simulant fluids and compostability were evaluated for the first time. This work aimed to incorporate ECT in starch-PVA-based film formulations, and the antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds, opacity, color, mechanical properties, compostability, and polyphenol release in different fluid simulants were determined. The results obtained showed that antioxidant activity and the total phenolic compounds were ECT dose dependent. Due to its antioxidant properties, ECT interfered with the film's composting process, reaching an average weight loss of 70 %. Additionally, the addition of ECT interfered with the mechanical properties, reducing the tensile strength, probably due to the plasticizer effect. The type of simulating fluid influenced the release of polyphenols from the films, and the presence of water favored the release because it hydrated and swelled the starch-PVA matrix, facilitating diffusion. The classic zero- and first-order models were the most effective in describing the release kinetics of polyphenols from the films. The results of this study demonstrate that the antioxidant potential and the release of polyphenols from starch-PVA-based films in different simulated fluids allow their application in active packaging, making them a sustainable alternative for food preservation.

Abstract
Poor water resistance, mechanical properties and stability limit the food packaging applications of starch films. Since the properties of starch films are improved by incorporating phenolic compounds and anthocyanins from natural plant extracts, Hom Nil rice (HN) extract was incorporated into cassava starch solution to produce a starch-based packaging film. We evaluated the extraction condition to optimize the total phenolic and anthocyanin contents of the HN extract. The optimal ratio of ethanol solution:Hom Nil rice powder was 5:1 v/w% and the optimal extraction time was 60 min. The influence of HN extract on the viscosity of the film solution and the properties of the obtained films were investigated. The results showed that the HN extract increased the viscosity of the starch solution. A film containing 8 wt% of HN extract produced the highest water contact angle and tensile strength, and hindered the retrogradation process. Therefore, cassava starch film modified with the proposed HN extract has the potential to be used as a food packaging material.

Abstract
Despite extensive commercial and regulatory interventions, food spoilage and contamination continue to impose massive ramifications on human health and the global economy. Recognizing that such issues will be significantly eliminated by the accurate and timely monitoring of food quality markers, smart food sensors have garnered significant interest as platforms for both real-time, in-package food monitoring and on-site commercial testing. In both cases, the sensitivity, stability, and efficiency of the developed sensors are largely informed by underlying material design, driving focus toward the creation of advanced materials optimized for such applications. Herein, a comprehensive review of emerging intelligent materials and sensors developed in this space is provided, through the lens of three key food quality markers - biogenic amines, pH, and pathogenic microbes. Each sensing platform is presented with targeted consideration toward the contributions of the underlying metallic or polymeric substrate to the sensing mechanism and detection performance. Further, the real-world applicability of presented works is considered with respect to their capabilities, regulatory adherence, and commercial potential. Finally, a situational assessment of the current state of intelligent food monitoring technologies is provided, discussing material-centric strategies to address their existing limitations, regulatory concerns, and commercial considerations.

Abstract
There is at present an acute need for the construction of biopolymer-based smart packaging material that can be applied for the real-time visual monitoring of food freshness. Herein, a nano-sized substituted imidazolate material (SIM-1) with ammonia-sensitive and antibacterial ability was effectively manufactured and then anchored within corn starch/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) blend to construct biopolymeric smart active packaging material. The structure, physical and functional performances of CS/PVA-based films with different content of SIM-1 (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt% on CS/PVA basis) were then explored in detail. Results revealed that the incorporated SIM-1 nanocrystals were equally anchored within the CS/PVA matrix owing to the establishment of potent hydrogen-bonding interactions, which produced an obvious improvement in the compatibility of CS/PVA blend film, as well as its mechanical strength, water/oxygen barrier and UV-screening performances. The constructed CS/PVA/SIM-1 blend films further demonstrated superior long-term color stability property, ammonia-sensitive and antibacterial functions. Furthermore, the CS/PVA/SIM-1 blend films were utilized for effectively monitoring the deterioration of shrimp via observable color alteration. The above findings suggested the potential applications of CS/PVA/SIM-1 blend films in smart active packaging.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127037. [PMID: 37742899 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127037] [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: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
This research was aimed at developing a novel pH-responsive smart film made of chitosan, zein and red radish anthocyanin (RRA). The morphology, interaction, crystallization, thermal stability, physiochemical properties and pH sensitivity of films were analyzed. The smart film was applied to monitor the freshness of mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). The results of morphology (SEM) and spectrum (FT-IR and XRD) indicated that the incorporation of RRA could enhance the interaction between polymer matrix. The addition of RRA had no significant effect on the thermal stability of films. The chitosan/zein/red radish anthocyanin (C/Z/R) films exhibited higher tensile strength, Young's modulus, hydrophobicity, antioxidant activity and lower elongation at break. The C/Z/R films had stronger water vapor and gas barrier capacity. The C/Z/R films showed a pH-sensitive color variation from red (pH 2) to green (pH 12) and good reversibility under alkaline and acidic environment. The prepared smart film could be successfully used for the quality monitoring of mushroom.

Abstract
The existing oil oxidation detection methods are unsuitable for consumers to identify oil oxidation in a domestic setting. This study aims to develop indicator films detecting the degree of lipid oxidation with the naked eye. Purple sweet potato pigment (PSP) was chosen as a color indicator due to its response to hydrogen peroxide. The novel oxidation indicator films were prepared using corn starch, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and varying concentrations of PSP. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectra and scanning electron microscopy analysis confirmed the successful dispersion of PSP in the films. Thermal stability, light resistance, ultraviolet light resistance, mechanical resistance, and flexibility of films containing PSP were improved, enhancing the potential application in detecting oxidized substances. All the films exhibited noticeable color changes when exposed to different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. These differences were more pronounced with higher levels of PSP. When these films were used to determine the degree of lipid oxidation, the ∆E value of the CS-PSP-0.25 % film showed a linear relationship (R2 = 0.929) with the peroxide value, unlike other films. Therefore, it is reliable to infer the peroxide value of edible oil by observing the color of the films, which helps customers avoid consuming expired oils.

Abstract
Hydroxypropyl starch (HPS) nano antibacterial films incorporating Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) and lysozyme (LY) were fabricated via solvent casting method. The synergistic effects of EDTA and LY on the microstructure, component interactions, color, optical, mechanical, barrier and antibacterial properties of HPS nano antibacterial films were evaluated. The results indicated that EDTA and LY were well dispersed in the matrix of the HPS nano antibacterial films, the film-forming substrates have good compatibility, resulting in a dense multi-layer structure of the HPS nano antibacterial films. The addition of EDTA and LY increased the color parameters (L*, a*, b* and △E*) of the HPS nano antibacterial films. The synergistic effects of EDTA and LY significantly decreased the light transmission of the HPS nano antibacterial films. The presence of EDTA and LY increased the tensile strength (TS) and the elongation at break (EAB) of the HPS nano antibacterial films. The TS and EAB of E2.5L1 reached the highest values of 6.329 MPa and 50.24 %, respectively. The incorporation of EDTA and LY had positive effects on the improvement of water vapor permeability (WVP) and oxygen permeability (OP). The WVP and OP of E2.5L1 reached the highest values of 0.9350 × 10-12 g cm/cm2•s•Pa and 0.297 × 10 -2 g m/m2 •d, respectively. In addition, EDTA and LY had significant synergistic effects on the antibacterial activity against S. aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) and E. coli (Gram-negative bacteria). E2.5L1 exhibited the highest antibacterial activity and the inhibition zone diameters of S. aureus and E. coli were 3.69 mm and 4.28 mm, respectively. The HPS nano antibacterial films incorporating EDTA and LY are potential functional packaging materials.

Abstract
Shrimp is a popular internationally traded shellfish due to its unique taste, texture, and nutritional value. Shrimp is highly perishable because it has enough free amino acids, high moisture levels, non-nitrogenous compounds used for microbial growth, and melanosis. Shrimp spoilage after death is caused by various reasons, like autolysis (endogenous proteinases actions during shrimp storage), growth of spoilage microorganisms, ATP degradation, melanin formation, and lipid peroxidation. A microbial byproduct, total volatile basic nitrogen, is one of the major reasons for the generation of foul odors from shrimp spoilage. Shrimp freshness monitoring is crucial for market sellers and exporters. Traditional methods for estimating shrimp freshness are expensive and inaccessible to the general public. Sensors are rapid, sensitive, selective, and portable food toxins' detection tools, devoid of expensive instruments, skilled people, sample pretreatment, and a long detection time. This review addresses shrimp spoilage causes. The mechanisms of different stages of shrimp spoilage after death, like rigor mortis, dissolution of rigor mortis, autolysis, and microbial spoilage mechanisms, are discussed. This review highlights the last five years' advances in shrimp freshness detection sensors and indicators like colorimetric pH indicators, fluorescence sensors, electronic noses, and biosensors, their working principles, and their sensitivities. Commercially available indicators and sensors for shrimp spoilage monitoring are also discussed. A review highlighting the applications of the different sensors and indicators for monitoring shrimp freshness is unavailable to date. Challenges and future perspectives in this field are explained at the end.

Abstract
Food freshness monitoring is vital to ensure food safety. Recently, packaging materials incorporating pH-sensitive films have been employed to monitor the freshness of food products in real time. The film-forming matrix of the pH-sensitive film is essential to maintain the desired physicochemical functions of the packaging. Conventional film-forming matrices, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), have drawbacks of low water resistance, poor mechanical properties, and weak antioxidant ability. In this study, we successfully synthesise PVA/riclin (P/R) biodegradable polymer films to overcome these limitations. The films feature riclin, an agrobacterium-derived exopolysaccharide. The uniformly dispersed riclin conferred outstanding antioxidant activity to the PVA film and significantly improved its tensile strength and barrier properties by forming hydrogen bonds. Purple sweet potato anthocyanin (PSPA) was used as a pH indicator. The intelligent film with added PSPA provided robust surveillance of volatile ammonia and changed its color within 30 s in the pH range of 2-12. This multifunctional colorimetric film also engendered discernible color changes when the quality of shrimp deteriorated, demonstrating its great potential as an intelligent packaging material to monitor food freshness.

Abstract
In this study, pectin (PC)/chitosan nanofiber (ChNF) films containing a novel anthocyanin from sumac extract were successfully developed for freshness monitoring and shelf-life extension of shrimp. The physical, barrier, morphological, color, and antibacterial properties of biodegradable films were evaluated. The addition of sumac anthocyanins to the films caused intramolecular interactions (such as hydrogen bonds) in the film structure, as confirmed by using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) analysis, suggesting good compatibility of film ingredients. Also, intelligent films showed significant sensitivity to ammonia vapors and changed color from reddish to olive color at the first 5 min. Moreover, the results showed that PC/ChNF and PC/ChNF/sumac films have significant antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. In addition to the good functional characteristics of the smart film, the resulting films showed acceptable physicomechanical properties. So, PC/ChNF/sumac smart film exhibited the strength = 60 MPa with the flexibility = 23.3 %. Likewise, water vapor barrier reduced from 2.5 (×10-11 g. m/m2. s. Pa) to 2.3 (×10-11 g. m/m2. s. Pa) after adding anthocyanin. The results of the application of intelligent film containing anthocyanins of sumac extract for shrimp freshness monitoring showed that the color of the intelligent film changed from reddish to greenish color after 48 h of storage, which shows the high potential of the produced film for monitoring the spoilage of seafood products.

Abstract
Bio-based "green" films with superior antimicrobial activity were developed from polylactic acid (PLA) and cyclic N-halamine 1-chloro-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-4-imidazolidinone (MC) grafted microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) fibers (herein referred to as g-MCC). The structure of g-MCC was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Results indicated N-halamine MC was successfully grafted onto MCC fibers, with a grafting percentage of 10.24 %. The grafting improved compatibility between g-MCC and PLA, leading to an excellent dispersion of g-MCC in the film matrix, and a superior transparency of the g-MCC/PLA compared to that of the MCC/PLA films. Additionally, the enhanced compatibility the g-MCC/PLA films produced better mechanical properties including mechanical strength, elongation at break and initial modulus than those of both MCC/PLA and MC/PLA composites. With N-halamine, g-MCC/PLA completely inactivated all the inoculated Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus within 5 and 30 min of contact, respectively. More importantly, the migration test showed that the oxidative chlorine of g-MCC/PLA was highly stable than that of MC/PLA films, providing a long-term antimicrobial activity. Finally, preservation test conducted on fresh bread slices further demonstrated its promising applications in the food industry.

Abstract
There is strong interest in non-destructive and rapid determination of food freshness in food research. In this study, mid-infrared (MIR) fiber-optic evanescent wave (FOEW) spectroscopy was applied to monitor shrimp freshness through the evaluation of protein, chitin, and calcite contents in conjunction with a Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) model. Shrimp shells were wiped with a micro fiber-optic probe to obtain a FOEW spectrum which quickly and nondestructively allowed evaluation of the shrimp freshness. Peaks for proteins, chitin, and calcite, which are closely related to shrimp freshness, were detected and quantified. Compared with the standard indicator for evaluating shrimp freshness (total volatile basic nitrogen), the PLS-DA model gave recognition rates for shrimp freshness using calibration and validation sets of the FOEW data of 87.27%, 90.28%, respectively. Our results show that FOEW spectroscopy is a feasible method for non-destructive and in-site detection of shrimp freshness.
