Bioactive composite films with improved antioxidant and barrier properties prepared from sodium alginate and deep eutectic solvent treated distillers' grains. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133376. [PMID: 38917924 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133376] [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: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
In this work, a straightforward approach utilizing distillers' grains (DG) waste and sodium alginate (SA) was developed to prepare functional and bioactive packaging films. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were initially synthesized from choline chloride (CO), betaine (BO), glycerol (GO), and oxalic acid. Composite films were then prepared from DES-treated DG slurry and SA at different ratios. Characterization and analysis revealed that adding 75 % CO-treated DG slurry reduced the water vapor permeability (WVP) by over 66 % compared to that of the SA film. Composite films containing CO/BO-treated DG slurry had an ultraviolet light barrier rate exceeding 99 %, while those with 75 % DES-treated DG slurry demonstrated excellent antioxidant activity, with a 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radical scavenging rate of 80.14 %-88.35 %, representing a 322.45 %-365.73 % increase compared to that of the pure SA film. These composite films also exhibited favorable mechanical properties (31.58 MPa, 5.53 % EB), thermal stability, and biodegradability, extending the shelf life of grapes by 1.8 times. In conclusion, bioactive composite films derived from DES-treated DG are expected to replace petroleum-based plastics, enhancing sustainable biomass use and environmental responsibility.

Green active coating from chitosan incorporated with spontaneous cinnamon oil nanoemulsion: Effects on dried shrimp quality and shelf life. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:129711. [PMID: 38278379 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
Green active film from chitosan (C) incorporated with spontaneous emulsified cinnamon oil nanoemulsion (CONE; droplet size of 79.27 nm and polydispersity index of 0.27) was developed. The obtained chitosan film containing CONE (C + CONE) had tensile elongation and light protective effect higher than C film due to the incorporation of bioactive compounds from cinnamon oil as proven by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The effect of C + CONE as active edible coating on the physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of dried shrimp was then investigated. The quality of samples coated with C + CONE (DS + C + CONE) was compared to those coated with C (DS + C) and without coating (DS). In this study, C + CONE could enhance astaxanthin content and reduce lipid oxidation in dried shrimp. During 6 weeks of storage, C + CONE was found to be an effective antimicrobial coating that significantly inhibited growth of bacteria, delayed lipid oxidation and retarded the production of volatile amines in dried shrimp. DS + C + CONE had lower malonaldehyde equivalents (0.52 mg/kg oil), trimethylamine (11.74 mg/100 g), total volatile base nitrogen (84.33 mg/100 g) and total viable count (4.80 Log CFU/g), but had higher astaxanthin content (12.53 ± 0.12 μg/g) than DS and DS + C. The results suggested that the developed C + CONE coating has potential to be used as active coating for preserving food quality.

Abstract
The primary challenges in fruit and vegetable preservation include extending storage duration while preserving sensory quality and nutritional value. In this study, sesbania gum (SG) was oxidized to prepare oxidized sesbania gum (OSG). An OSG/ZnO composite film was subsequently prepared, combining OSG, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO). The preparation technology was determined via a response surface optimization experiment. When the addition amount of nano-ZnO exceeded 0.3 mg/mL, the composite films exhibited an antibacterial rate of over 90% against E. coli and S. aureus. For wampee (Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels) preservation, a OSG/ZnO-0.3 film was directly applied as a coating. The findings demonstrated favorable results in terms of the rate of rotting, soluble solids, and titrable acidity, effectively prolonging wampee fruit storage. This suggests the potential of an OSG composite film with nano-ZnO as a promising fruit packaging material, thereby expanding the application of SG and wampee fruit preservation.

Unveiling the effect of molecular weight of vanillic acid grafted chitosan hydrogel films on physical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties for application in food packaging. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128397. [PMID: 38007024 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128397] [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: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
Till now, a wide range of chitosan (CHS)-based food packaging films have been developed. Yet, the role of molecular weight (MW), which is an important physical property of CHS, in determining the physicochemical and biochemical properties of vanillic acid (VA)-grafted CHS hydrogel films synthesized using CHS with different MWs has not been investigated until now. Three kinds of CHS including low, medium, and high MWs were grafted separately with VA through a carbodiimide mediated coupling reaction. No significant difference in water resistance properties was observed with increasing MW of CHS, in contrast to obvious decrease in light transmittance and opacity. The VA-g-CHS hydrogel films exhibited significantly improved light blocking capacity. A significant improvement in antioxidant (~6-fold) and antimicrobial (~1.2-fold) activity was observed after grafting with VA. In contrast, the free radical scavenging and antimicrobial activity decreased with increasing MW of CHS. Most importantly, VA-g-CHS hydrogel films could maintain the freshness of cherry tomatoes for up to 10 days at ~25 °C. However, no significant difference was observed depending on the MW value of CHS. This pioneering work is of great importance in guiding the selection of MW of CHS biomacromolecule to design hydrogel films with desired physicochemical and biochemical properties.

Abstract
Bacterial and fungal contamination have become major factors in fruit spoilage and damage, posing a potential risk to human health. In this work, polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers combined with Ag2O-hemp fibers for a good antimicrobial effect were developed and applied to antimicrobial fruit fresh-keeping packages. The results of molecular simulation calculations showed that the strength of hydrogen bonds between Ag2O and hemp fibers reached 45.522 kJ·mol-1, which proved that Ag2O and with hemp fibers formed a stable deposition. The Ag2O-hemp fibers modified electrospun polylactic acid nanofibrous composite film exhibited favorable mechanical properties. The tensile strength reached 5.23 ± 0.05 MPa and the elongation at break reached 105.56 ± 3.95 %. The obtained nanofibrous composite film has good antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, A. niger, and Penicillium, which indicated that they could effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. The cell experiments proved that the nanofibrous composite film had good biocompatibility with a cell survival rate of 100 %. The experimental results on the fresh-keeping of red grapes showed that the PLA nanofibrous composite film modified by the Ag2O-hemp fibers could effectively prolong the spoilage time of red grapes at room temperature. Compared with the blank group, the freshness period of PLA nanofiber film modified by Ag2O-hemp fibers could be extended for more than 5 days. The hardness of 15 days (1.94 ± 0.19 × 105 Pa) was basically the same as that of 1 day (2.05 ± 0.06 × 105 Pa). The results were superior to commercially available PE preservation films. The above research results indicated that the Ag2O-hemp fibers modified PLA nanofibrous composite film had potential application prospects in the field of fruit fresh-keeping package.

Abstract
In this work, a new food packaging film was synthesized via blending Artemisia oil (AO) into soybean protein isolate (SPI) and gelatin (Gel) for the postharvest storage of mango. The morphological architecture and mechanical properties of the films were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and other technologies. The results show that the prepared films had relatively flat surfaces with good mechanical properties. AO enhanced the light-blocking ability of the film, increased the hydrophobicity, and affected the moisture content and water solubility of the film to a certain extent. Furthermore, the antioxidant performance and antifungal (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) capacity of the films increased with higher AO concentration due to the presence of the active components contained in AO. During mango storage applications, the films showed good freshness retention properties. The above results indicate that SPI-Gel films containing AO have excellent physicochemical and application properties and have great potential in the field of food packaging.

Abstract
Pullulan-based smart packaging films were prepared by mixing cooked amaranth juice and bergamot essential oil. The impact of cooked amaranth juice and bergamot essential oil on the color-changeability, structural characterization, and barrier, antioxidant, mechanical and thermal properties of pullulan-based films was determined. Results showed the cooked amaranth juice contained pH-response color-changing betacyanins. The pullulan films containing cooked amaranth juice were color-changeable in pH 9-12 buffers and in ammonia vapor. The color-changeable property of betacyanins in cooked amaranth juice was unaffected by bergamot essential oils. The inner structure of pullulan films was greatly affected by cooked amaranth juice, forming big and ordered humps in film cross-sections. The crystallinity of pullulan films was improved by the combined addition of cooked amaranth juice and bergamot essential oil. Among the films, the pullulan film containing cooked amaranth juice and 6% bergamot essential oil showed the highest UV-vis light barrier property, antioxidant activity, and tensile strength; while the pullulan film containing cooked amaranth juice and 4% bergamot essential oil showed the highest oxygen barrier property and thermal stability. Moreover, the pullulan films containing cooked amaranth juice were able to monitor the freshness of shrimp by presenting color changes from reddish purple to dark red.
