Abstract
Visual pH-responsive packaging material is particularly important in food supply chain safety monitoring due to their non-destructive monitoring method and intuitive result. However, it has always been limited by the instability performance of pH-response components and carriers, which further hinders its wide food safety application. To address these challenges, we selected cellulose with remarkable biocompatibility and mechanical properties as the carrier, and high pH-responsive curcumin to develop a smart packaging material (RC/GC composite film) with real-time food safety monitoring. Compared with pure cellulose film, the RC/GC composite film exhibited excellent mechanical properties (4-fold enhancement) and thermal stability (100 °C increasing). Meanwhile, based on the first reported strategy of curcumin in-situ growth during cellulose film formation, the RC/GC composite film exhibited exceptional antioxidant activity (89.2 %), antimicrobial property (91.6 %), and significant pH-responsive sensitivity (within 15 s). This innovative approach offers a new strategy for easy-to-use and effective monitoring of food spoilage in packaging materials.

Development, characterization and application of chitosan/locust bean gum based multifunctional green food packaging containing Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm. bracts extract and Ti-carbon dots. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 278:134610. [PMID: 39128737 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134610] [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: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Multifunctional green food packaging films were developed by incorporating Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm. bract extract (KBE) and bio-waste-derived Ti-doped carbon dots (Ti-CDs) into a chitosan/locust bean gum (CG) matrix for the first time. Results from FTIR and XRD demonstrated the precise bonding of Ti-CDs to CG through a Schiff base reaction and hydrogen bonding, while KBE was effectively immobilized within the film matrix via hydrogen bonding. SEM and TGA analysis demonstrated enhanced thermal stability and density of the films. Addition of Ti-CDs synergistically improved the barrier properties and mechanical strength of the films through enhanced hydrogen bonding and Schiff base reactions. Specifically, the incorporation of 3 wt% Ti-CDs increased the oxygen barrier properties, tensile strength, water resistance, and vapor permeability of CG films by approximately 1.18, 0.75, and 1.51 times, respectively. Furthermore, the antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities were significantly improved with the addition of KBE to films. The CG-3%CDs-KBE film coating effectively prolonged the shelf life of strawberries. Additionally, these films exhibited superior pH responsiveness and ammonia-sensitivity, enabling visual monitoring of shrimp freshness during storage. Importantly, CG-3%CDs-KBE films exhibited biodegradability in soil and displayed good biosafety. Overall, these findings underscore the promising potential of CG-3%CDs-KBE films as multifunctional green food packaging materials.

Abstract
Approximately 30 % of global agricultural land is used to produce food that is ultimately lost or wasted, making it imperative to explore strategies for mitigating this waste. This study explored the potential of chitosan (CS) derivatives as edible coatings to extend food shelf life. Although soluble CS derivatives such as glycol CS are suitable coatings, their antimicrobial properties often diminish with increased solubility. To address this issue, gallic acid (GA), a polyphenol, was conjugated with CS using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) chemistry to create edible coating solutions. The resulting CS-GA films exhibited remarkable solubility, mechanical strength, UV-blocking properties, and superior antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Furthermore, these films exhibited a high affinity for hydrophobic fruit surfaces while also facilitating easy washing, making them an alternative for consumers who are averse to film-coated products. The CS-GA-coated fruits exhibited minimal surface spoilage, decreased mass loss, and increased firmness. Therefore, these CS-GA conjugate coatings hold significant potential as eco-friendly, edible, and washable food packaging coatings.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to prepare an active packaging film using phosphorylated soy protein isolate (PPS) and Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch. gum (ASKG) as film matrices, with the incorporation of pomegranate peel extract (PPE) to preserve fresh-cut apples. The results showed that PA-PPE (PPS/ASKG-PPE) films significantly increased thickness by 24.47 %, tensile strength by 58.76 %, and elongation at break by 30.48 %. Additionally, water vapor permeability and oxygen permeability decreased significantly to 6.17 × 10-13 and 0.62 × 10-13 Kg•m•m-2•s-1•Pa-1, respectively. FTIR, XRD, and SEM analyses confirmed the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between PPS, ASKG, and polyphenols extracted from pomegranate peel, indicating excellent compatibility. Furthermore, radical scavenging activity experiments demonstrated that these films exhibited a remarkable ability to scavenge DPPH and ABTS+ radicals up to 70.44 % and 74.28 %, respectively, when the PPE content was at 3 wt%. Moreover, PPS could achieve a sustained release effect on polyphenols with a relatively low release rate (63.83 %) even after seven days' time elapsed. Finally, the PA-PPE film displayed superior performance in reducing the weight loss and browning index of fresh-cut apples within 24 h of storage. The development of PA-PPE film could promote sustainable resource protection and demonstrate promising prospects in the field of fresh-cut fruit packaging.

Abstract
In this study, an antimicrobial component, silk protease inhibitors (SPIs), was extracted from discarded silkworm cocoons, and a suitable degumming method for obtaining regenerated silk fibroin (SF) was screened. An edible antimicrobial coating was prepared by mixing SPIs with SF for evaluation of potential in strawberries preservation. Results demonstrated that SPI could effectively inhibit mycelial growth and spore germination. The alkaline protease method exhibited the highest degumming rate of 24.4 %. The SPI-SF coating exhibited excellent mechanical properties, high water vapor permeability, and easy washability. Within 10 days, seedlings treatment with SPI-SF coating solution showed a germination rate of 94.3 %, and exhibited good biocompatibility with HepG2 cells. Coating with SPI-SF led to increase in the storage period of strawberries to 10-14 days, concurrent with considerable reduction in decay rate at room temperature. Conclusively, this study demonstrates the potential of SPI-SF edible coating in strawberries preservation.

Abstract
Food waste resulting from perishable fruits and vegetables, coupled with the utilization of non-renewable petroleum-based packaging materials, presents pressing challenges demanding resolution. This study addresses these critical issues through the innovative development of a biodegradable functional plastic wrap. Specifically, the proposed solution involves the creation of a κ-carrageenan/carboxymethyl chitosan/arbutin/kaolin clay composite film. This film, capable of rapid in-situ formation on the surfaces of perishable fruits, adeptly conforms to their distinct shapes. The incorporation of kaolin clay in the composite film plays a pivotal role in mitigating water vapor and oxygen permeability, concurrently bolstering water resistance. Accordingly, tensile strength of the composite film experiences a remarkable enhancement, escalating from 20.60 MPa to 34.71 MPa with the incorporation of kaolin clay. The composite film proves its efficacy by preserving cherry tomatoes for an extended period of 9 days at 28 °C through the deliberate delay of fruit ripening, respiration, dehydration and microbial invasion. Crucially, the economic viability of the raw materials utilized in the film, coupled with the expeditious and straightforward preparation method, underscores the practicality of this innovative approach. This study thus introduces an easy and sustainable method for preserving perishable fruits, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative to petroleum-based packaging materials.

Abstract
To maintain the freshness of the fruit during storage, sodium alginate/carboxymethyl cellulose films embedded with pH-senstive liposomes encapsulated green tea extract were developed (SA/CMC/TP-Lip). An orthogonal design was used to optimise the preparation of TP-Lip and SA/CMC/TP-Lip was prepared through response surface. The stability of TP-Lip structure was measured. The morphology of SA/CMC/TP-Lip was characterised by SEM, and the mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of films were measured. Special attention was paid to the pH sensitivity of TP-Lip and the improvement of film properties. The zeta potential and encapsulation rate of TP-Lip were -45.85 ± 2.13 mV and 61.45 ± 0.23%. The average release rate of TP encapsulated into TP-Lip at pH 3 was 41.08%, an increase of 23.07% over pH 6 during 12 h. SEM and FTIR showed that TP-Lip was structurally stable and had good compatibility with SA/CMC. Tensile strength was increased by 30.55% and DPPH radical scavenging capacity was increased by 7.16% with the addition of TP-Lip. SA/CMC/TP-Lip is applied to blueberries to reduce their weight loss and improve the loss of freshness of blueberries during storage. Thus, SA/CMC/TP-Lip could provide a new way to extend active packaging materials and maintain fruit freshness during storage.

Abstract
The packaging of fresh foods increasingly focuses on renewable and eco-friendly cellulose films, but their low dissolution efficiency and weak mechanical strength greatly limit their wide application, which also cannot be used for smart packaging. Here, a highly efficient synergistic chloride-salt dissolution method was proposed to fabricate robust, transparent, and smart cellulose films. Cellulose films with appropriate Ca2+ concentration exhibited robust mechanical strength, better thermal stability, high transparency and crystallinity. The metal chelation of Ca2+ with cellulose chains could induce cellulose chain arrangement during the cellulose regeneration process. Particularly, compared to pure cellulose films, the tensile strength and elongation at break of cellulose films with suitable Ca2+ were increased by 167 % and 200 %, respectively. Moreover, optimal cellulose films can be used to reflect the quality of the fruit by detecting changes in ethanol gas. Hence, a novel strategy is presented to fabricate robust and transparent cellulose films with great potential application for smart packaging.

Abstract
Multi-active food packaging was prepared for strawberry fruit preservation where epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-containing pectin matrix and natamycin (NATA)-containing chitosan (CS) matrix were utilized to complete LBL electrostatic self-assembly. The results showed that the physicochemical properties of the multi-active packaging were closely related to the addition of NATA and EGCG. It was found that NATA and EGCG were embedded in the CS/pectin matrix through intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. The CN/PE 15 % multi-active films prepared based on the spectral stacking theory formed a barrier to UV light in the outer layer, exhibited excellent NATA protection under UV light exposure conditions at different times, and provided long-lasting and sustained bacterial inhibition in the inner layer. In addition, the CN/PE 15 % multi-active packaging extended the shelf life of strawberry at room temperature compared with the control samples. In conclusion, the developed CN/PE 15 % packaging provided potential applications for multi-active food packaging materials.

Development of seaweed-derived polysaccharide/cellulose nanocrystal-based antifogging labels loaded with alizarin for monitoring aquatic products' freshness. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126640. [PMID: 37657568 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126640] [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: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
Intelligent freshness indicator labels have attracted great interest for their massive potential in monitoring the freshness of aquatic products over the years. However, there is still a challenge where fogging on the labels during dramatic temperature changes affects the reading of freshness. At the same time, the freshness indicator labels need high mechanical strength to resist collision damage during transportation and storage. Herein, an antifogging freshness indicator label was developed based on seaweed extracts and alizarin. Firstly, soluble polysaccharides and insoluble components were extracted from Gelidium amansii, and cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) was further prepared from the insoluble components by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. Subsequently, a polysaccharide-based film was fabricated using soluble polysaccharides as the matrix materials and CNC as the reinforcement agent. Antifogging experiments showed that the hydrophilic composite films presented good antifogging performance. After loading with alizarin, the composite indicator label exhibited both antifogging and freshness-indicating properties for the salmon sample. The work provided a new idea for developing freshness indicator labels suitable for low-temperature transportation and storage.

Non-cytotoxic, highly functionalized cellulose nanocrystals with high crystallinity and thermal stability derived from a novel agromass of Elettaria cardamomum, using a soft and benign mild oxalic acid hydrolysis. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126571. [PMID: 37648134 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
Non-cytotoxic, highly crystalline, and functionalized, thermally stable cellulose nanocrystals are extracted from the stems of Elettaria cardamom, a novel underutilised agromass, by employing a neat green, mild oxalic acid hydrolysis. The protocol involves a chemo-mechanical strategy of coupling hydrolysis with steam explosion and homogenization. The obtained CNC showed a crystallinity index of 81.51 %, an aspect ratio of 17.80 ± 1.03 and a high degradation temperature of about 339.07 °C. The extraction procedure imparted a high negative surface functionalization with a zeta potential value of -34.244 ± 0.496 mV and a polydispersity of 16.5 %. The CNC had no antibacterial activity, according to non-cytotoxic experiments conducted on four bacterial strains. This supports the notion of "One Health" in the context of AMR by demonstrating the safety of antibiotic resistance due to consistent exposure upon environmental disposal. The as-extracted nanocellulose crystals can be a potential candidate for commercial application in wide and diversified disciplines like food packaging, anti-infective surfaces for medical devices, biosensors, bioelectronics etc.
