Abstract
This work focuses on the potential of agar from the seaweed Gracilaria fisheri to modify the properties of starch foam. The effects of different ratios of glycerol and agar on the properties of starch foams were investigated. All formulations used in this study produced easy-to-handle, smooth, single-use foam trays with no visible cracks. The addition of agar slightly affected the off-white color of the foam but red and yellow color values significantly decreased with increments of agar content. As the agar content was increased, the foam became less dense. A foam produced at a glycerol:agar ratio of 3:7 exhibited the highest values of flexural stress at maximum load (3.23 MPa), modulus (194.46 MPa) and hardness (97.50), and the highest temperature at maximum weight loss (Tmax) (337 °C). Therefore, starch foam modified with agar from Gracilaria fisheri showed suitable physical, mechanical and thermal properties for food packaging, and could possibly be used in the place of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.

Abstract
The water solubility and brittleness of unplasticized sodium alginate (SA) films hinder their widely application. Glycerol (GLY), the most commonly used plasticizer, is compatible with alginate due to the formation of hydrogen bonding owing to the hydroxyl functional groups. However, GLY is a small water-soluble molecule, and the resulting leaching problem may lead to decline in mechanical properties of SA films. Aimed at better plasticizers for alginate (ALG) films, this work focuses on the effects of polymerization degree of polyglycerol on physical properties of ALG films. The cross-sectional morphology, crystallinity, mechanical and thermal properties, water solubility, water content and barrier property of ALG films plasticized with GLY, triglycerol (TG) and decaglycerol (DG) were characterized and discussed. Results illustrated that owing to the long molecular chains of TG and DG and their strong interactions with ALG matrix, the plasticized films possessed better mechanical properties, higher water content and lower water solubility. Moreover, it was worth mentioning that even after water treatment, the mechanical properties of ALG-TG and ALG-DG films were superior than that plasticized with GLY. The results of this study were believed to provide particular insights into the plasticization mechanism and the improvement in performance of SA films in packaging applications.

Cross-linked poly(ester urethane)/starch composite films with high starch content as sustainable food-packaging materials: Influence of cross-link density. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128441. [PMID: 38013081 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128441] [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: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
This study focused on the development of cross-linked poly(ester urethane)/starch (PEUST) composites containing 50 wt% starch content for food-packaging materials. The NCO-terminated poly(caprolactone-urethane) prepolymer (PCUP) was first synthesized through bulk condensation. Then, low-moisture starch (0.21 wt%) and PCUP-based PEUST films were fabricated through an intensive extrusion process, followed by thermo-compression molding. The chemical structure of PCUP and PEUST was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Moreover, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted to assess the influence of cross-link density on the physicochemical properties of the composite films. The results showed that an increase in the cross-link density within the composites improved component compatibility and tensile strength but reduced crystallinity, water sensitivity, hydrolytic degradability, and water vapor permeability (WVP) of the films. In addition, the cytotoxicity tests were conducted to evaluate the safety of the composite films, and the high cell viability demonstrated non-toxicity for food application. The PEUST-II films with moderate cross-link density exhibited a suitable degradation rate (27.7 % weight loss at degradation for 140 d), optimal tensile properties (tensile strength at break: 12.4 MPa; elongation at break: 352 %), and low WVP (68.4 g/(m2⋅24h) at 30 % relative humidity). These characteristics make them highly promising as fresh-keeping food packaging.

Abstract
Starch film has poor tensile properties and poor water resistance. We aimed to improve these properties by adding kaolin impregnated with calico plant extract (CP-Kaolin). UV-Vis spectrophotometry showed that the calico plant extract (CPE) contained 4867.52 mg/L of total phenolic compounds and betacyanins were the predominant constituents. CP-Kaolin was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. FTIR analysis showed that betacyanins were adsorbed on kaolin via hydrogen bonding. Zeta potential analysis confirmed the adsorption of betacyanins on kaolin. The intercalation of betacyanins between kaolin platelets was observed by XRD. SEM revealed that CP-Kaolin was well dispersed and embedded within the starch matrix. It was found that the addition of 10 wt% of CP-Kaolin increased the water resistance, tensile strength and thermal stability of starch film. Moreover, starch film containing 10 wt% of CP-Kaolin was sensitive to the change in pH of the fish during storage. Therefore, the addition of CP-Kaolin improved the properties of starch film and starch film composite with CP-Kaolin could be applied as a smart packaging in the food industry.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126959.

Abstract
The increasing number of petroleum-based plastics has caused severe environmental pollution, which has attracted great research interest in the development of low-cost, renewable, and degradable starch-based bioplastics. However, developing starch-based bioplastics with robust mechanical strength, excellent water resistance, and thermal resistance remains a great challenge. In this study, we presented a simple and efficient method for preparing high-performance novel starch-based bioplastics with chemical and physical double crosslinking network structures filled with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxy-oxidized cellulose nanofibers and zinc oxide nanoparticles. Compared with pure starch-based bioplastics, the tensile strength of the novel robust strength starch-based bioplastics increased by 431.2 %. The novel starch-based bioplastics exhibited excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength up to 24.54 MPa), water resistance, thermal resistance, and biodegradability. In addition, the novel starch-based bioplastics could be reused, crushed, dissolved, and re-poured after use. After recycling, the novel starch-based bioplastics could be discarded in the soil to achieve complete degradation within six weeks. Owing to these characteristics, the novel starch-based bioplastics are good alternatives used to replace traditional petroleum-based plastics and have great development prospects.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4255. [PMID: 37959934 PMCID: PMC10650099 DOI: 10.3390/polym15214255] [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: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Bio-based epoxy resin materials have obtained significant attention in the packaging industry due to concerns about the environmental and economic impacts of traditional petroleum-based plastics. The aim of this research is to improve bio-based resins' properties by investigating varying formic acid contents in the presence of a green catalyst and characterizing their physical, chemical, and mechanical properties for further scaled-up bio-based resin production for industrial packaging applications. The crude soybean oil was epoxidized with formic acid as an oxidizing agent at varying equivalent weights of 10:1 to 10:10 of soybean oil: formic acid in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and choline chloride-oxalic acid as a bi-functional green catalyst. The effect of increasing the amount of formic acid used to epoxidize crude soybean oil was evaluated with infrared (IR) spectroscopy, rheological, and epoxy yield measurements. The results demonstrated that formic acid significantly influenced the epoxidation of soybean oil, leading to a higher conversion of carbon-carbon double bonds, with a selectivity of 98% when the ratio of soybean oil to formic acid was between 10:5 and 10:10. The bio-resin film was formulated using the improved epoxidized soybean oils-from ESO (10:2.5) to ESO (10:10)-and equal amounts of acrylic acid. The results showed that resin films led to an improvement in tensile strength (ca. 180 MPa) and thermal stability at 360 °C. Although further research is necessary, this study provides valuable insights for designing an effective epoxidation process for renewable sources and developing bio-resin materials for future packaging applications.

Abstract
Both inorganic and polymeric membranes have been widely applied for antimicrobial applications. However, these membranes exhibit low biocompatibility, weak biodegradability, and potential toxicity to human being and environment. Biomass materials serve as excellent candidates for fabricating functional membranes to address these problems due to their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. Here we present recent progress in the fabrication, functional regulation, and antimicrobial applications of various biomass-based membranes. We first introduce the types of biomass membranes and their fabrication methods, including the phase inversion, vacuum filtration, electrospinning, layer-by-layer self-assembly, and coating. Then, the strategies on functional regulation of biomass membranes by adding 0D, 1D, and 2D nanomaterials are presented and analyzed. In addition, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral applications of biomass-based functional membranes are summarized. Finally, potential development aspects of biomass membranes are discussed and prospected. This comprehensive review is valuable for guiding the design, synthesis, structural/functional tailoring, and sustainable utilization of biomass membranes.

Abstract
Starches modified using the precipitation method which are added to edible film formulation were shown to lower water vapor transmission rates and increase the mechanical strength of the film. The effect may not only be due to the changes in starch morphology, but other aspects of the starch granules, such as their size and chemical properties in particular, are also suggested as reasons for improvements to the quality of edible film by modified starches. The aim of this research was to determine physicochemical changes in modified cassava and yam starches using several gelatinisation techniques in the precipitation method. The gelatinisation techniques used in this study were two methods of heating (using a hotplate and autoclave reactor + oven heating) and two types of starch solvent (distilled water and a mixture of distilled water and ethanol 1:1, v/v). The results showed that both cassava and yam starch granules modified using a hotplate at a heating temperature of 100 °C for 30 min were more badly damaged and smaller than those modified using autoclave reactor + oven heating at 140 °C for 1 h. However, the latter suffered more damage and were smaller in size when the heating time was increased to 3-5 h. All techniques applied in the modification increased the intensities of stretching vibration of O-H and C-H, and bound water bending vibration. The use of ethanol in the starch solvent enabled the starches to retain the shape and size of the granules despite the rearrangement of intra and intermolecular bonding as confirmed by FTIR spectra.

Abstract
Starch blend films of native cassava starch and medium distarch phosphate cassava starch (crosslinked cassava starch) were prepared by solution casting. The effects of kaolin content on the water resistance and mechanical properties of the starch blend films were investigated. The addition of 10 wt% kaolin to the starch blend film lowered water vapor permeability to 3.51 × 10-5 g m day-1 m-2 Pa-1, water solubility to 31.60% and raised tensile strength to 2.99 MPa. At this loading of kaolin, the structural integrity of the starch blend film was maintained during immersion in water and thermal stability was enhanced. Scanning electron microscopy revealed kaolin to be well dispersed and embedded within the starch matrix. In summary, the starch blend film composite with 10 wt% kaolin had interesting properties as a material to replace non-biodegradable synthetic plastics for packaging, particularly sachets for food products.

Abstract
The development of environmentally friendly and transparent superhydrophilic food packaging materials is essential in our daily lives. The objective of this study was to develop a simple method of preparing a superhydrophilic, transparent, and biodegradable composite film. The composite film was obtained by soaking a chitosan-sodium phytate film in an ethanol solution of SiO2 nanoparticles. The results showed that when the chitosan-sodium phytate film was coated with SiO2 nanoparticles that were dissolved in 75% ethanol, its water contact angle (WCA) was reduced from 100° to 3°, and the film surface was changed from a hydrophobic to a superhydrophilic. Furthermore, the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) was significantly reduced, and the mechanical properties of the film were improved. The method is easy to carry out and can be used for the potential production of superhydrophilic materials.

Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 188:628-638.

Abstract
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) films filled with chitosan nanocapsules (CN) containing essential oils (EO) were prepared aiming active packaging. Two different EOs were studied: Ho wood (H) and Cinnamon (C). Besides, different capsules concentrations were investigated (1, 3, and 5 wt%), and the films were evaluated by chemical structure, thermal stability, crystallinity, water vapor permeability, antimicrobial assays, and potential application for strawberry packaging. The TPS/CN-Ho wood films showed a strong interaction between chitosan-starch, mainly for 3 and 5 wt%, confirmed by XRD. The FT-Raman spectra of TPS/CN-Cinnamon film indicated that Cinnamon EO quickly migrated to starch films, probably due to the new crystal structure, named C-type, affecting the film's water permeability. The addition of 1 and 3 wt% CN loaded with Ho wood or Cinnamon EO to the films decreased the water permeability. 3 wt% CN was the optimum concentration to inhibit the Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtillis growth on the films, confirming their biological activity. The films' preservation properties were evaluated using strawberries, and films with 1 or 3 wt% loaded-CN could extend the strawberries' shelf life without fungi contamination. The developed TPS films can be used as active food packaging or other films for biomedical or pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Pulse crops have received growing attention from the agri-food sector because they can provide advantageous health benefits and offer a promising source of starch and protein. Pea, lentil, and faba bean are the three leading pulse crops utilized for extracting protein concentrate/isolate in food industry, which simultaneously generates a rising volume of pulse starch as a co-product. Pulse starch can be fractionated from seeds using dry and wet methods. Compared with most commercial starches, pea, lentil, and faba bean starches have relatively high amylose contents, longer amylopectin branch chains, and characteristic C-type polymorphic arrangement in the granules. The described molecular and granular structures of the pulse starches impart unique functional attributes, including high final viscosity during pasting, strong gelling property, and relatively low digestibility in a granular form. Starch isolated from wrinkled pea-a high-amylose mutant of this pulse crop-possesses an even higher amylose content and longer branch chains of amylopectin than smooth pea, lentil, and faba bean starches, which make the physicochemical properties and digestibility of the former distinctively different from those of common pulse starches. The special functional properties of pulse starches promote their applications in food, feed, bioplastic and other industrial products, which can be further expanded by modifying them through chemical, physical and/or enzymatic approaches. Future research directions to increase the fractionation efficiency, improve the physicochemical properties, and enhance the industrial utilization of pulse starches have also been proposed. The comprehensive information covered in this review will be beneficial for the pulse industry to develop effective strategies to generate value from pulse starch.

Abstract
Improving the antibacterial activity of biodegradable materials is crucial for combatting widespread drug-resistant bacteria and plastic pollutants. In this work, we studied polyaniline (PANI)-functionalized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) to improve surface charges. A PANI-functionalized ZnO NP surface was prepared using a simple impregnation technique. The PANI functionalization of ZnO successfully increased the positive surface charge of the ZnO NPs. In addition, PANI-functionalized ZnO improved mechanical properties and thermal stability. Besides those properties, the water permeability of the bionanocomposite films was decreased due to their increased hydrophobicity. PANI-functionalized ZnO NPs were applied to thermoplastic starch (TPS) films for physical properties and antibacterial studies using Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The PANI-functionalized ZnO bionanocomposite films exhibited excellent antibacterial activity for both E. coli (76%) and S. aureus (72%). This result suggests that PANI-functionalized ZnO NPs can improve the antibacterial activity of TPS-based bionanocomposite films.

Abstract
Four kinds of edible composite films based on chitosan combined with additional substances (konjac glucomannan, cassava starch, maltodextrin and gelatin) and the addition of lysozyme were prepared and used as packaging materials for Mongolian cheese. The prepared composite films were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The physicochemical properties of all chitosan composite films, including thickness, viscosity, opacity, color, moisture content, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and elongation at break, were measured. The results show that Konjac glucomannan–chitosan composite film presented the strongest mechanical property and highest transparency. The cassava starch–chitosan composite film presented the highest water barrier property. The study on the storage characteristics of Mongolian cheese was evaluated at 4 °C. The results show that the cheese packaging by cassava starch–chitosan composite film presented better treatment performance in maintaining the quality, reducing weight loss and delayering microbial growth.
