[PMID: 38104446 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138211] [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: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Spinach tends to deteriorate after harvest due to physiological metabolic activities. As a natural, pollution-free, and environmentally friendly preservative, melatonin (MT) can effectively maintain the quality of fruits and vegetables after harvest and delay senescence. To enhance the preservation effect of MT, this study developed antioxidant films using MT-loaded UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles. This approach effectively extends the shelf life of spinach while preserving its quality. The underlying mechanism involves leveraging the microporous structure and stability of UiO-66 MOF. Experimental results obtained from the packaging films demonstrated significant improvements in both mechanical strength and antioxidant properties when UiO-66 was loaded with MT at a concentration of 0.20 mg/mL and combined with sodium alginate. Freshness preservation experiments also indicated the effective preservation effect of these films on spinach. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that MT-loaded UiO-66 MOF is a promising active packaging material for spinach preservation.

Ionizing and nonionizing radiations can change physicochemical, technofunctional, and nutritional attributes of starch. Food Chem X 2023; 19:100771. [PMID: 37780299 PMCID: PMC10534100 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.100771] [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: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Challenges for the food/non-food applications of starch mostly arise from its low stability against severe processing conditions (i.e. elevated temperatures, pH variations, intense shear forces), inordinate retrogradability, as well as restricted applicability. These drawbacks have been addressed through the modification of starch. The escalating awareness of individuals toward the presumptive side effects of chemical modification approaches has engrossed the attention of scientists to the development of physical modification procedures. In this regard, starch treatment via ionizing (i.e. gamma, electron beam, and X-rays) and non-ionizing (microwave, radiofrequency, infrared, ultraviolet) radiations has been introduced as a potent physical strategy offering new outstanding attributes to the modified product. Ionizing radiations, through dose-dependent pathways, are able to provoke depolymerization or cross-linking/grafting reactions to the starch medium. While non-ionizing radiations could modify the starch attributes by changing the morphology/architecture of granules and inducing reorientation/rearrangement in the molecular order of starch amorphous/crystalline fractions.

Biopolymers as green-based food packaging materials: A focus on modified and unmodified starch-based films. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:1148-1183. [PMID: 36710406 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
The ideal food packaging materials are recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. Starch from plant sources, such as tubers, legumes, cereals, and agro-industrial plant residues, is considered one of the most suitable biopolymers for producing biodegradable films due to its natural abundance and low cost. The chemical modification of starch makes it possible to produce films with better technological properties by changing the functional groups into starch. Using biopolymers extracted from agro-industrial waste can add value to a raw material that would otherwise be discarded. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has driven a rise in demand for single-use plastics, intensifying pressure on this already out-of-control issue. This review provides an overview of biopolymers, with a particular focus on starch, to develop sustainable materials for food packaging. This study summarizes the methods and provides a potential approach to starch modification for improving the mechanical and barrier properties of starch-based films. This review also updates some trends pointed out by the food packaging sector in the last years, considering the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Perspectives to achieve more sustainable food packaging toward a more circular economy are drawn.

Abstract
Cassava starch is one of the most available and cost-effective biopolymers. This work aimed to apply a bibliometric methodology to identify the most impactful scientific data on cassava starch and its residues for food packaging in the last ten years. As a result, an increasing interest in this subject has been observed, mainly in the past five years. Among the 85 selected scientific publications, Brazil and China have been leading the research on starch-based films, accounting for 39 % of the total. The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules was the main scientific source of information. Besides cassava starch, 41.18 % of these studies added other biopolymers, 5.88 % added synthetic polymers, and 4.71 % added a combination of both. Studies analyzed suggested that different modifications in starch can improve films' mechanical and barrier properties. In addition, 52.94 % of articles evaluated the film's bioactivity. Still, only 37.65 % assessed the performance of those films as food packaging, suggesting that more studies should be conducted on assessing the potential of these alternative packages. Future research should consider scale-up methods for film production, including cost analysis, assessment life cycle, and the impact on the safety and quality of a broader range of foods.

Abstract
Environmental pollution by synthetic polymers is a global problem and investigating substitutes for synthetic polymers is a major research area. Starch can be used in formulating bioplastic materials, mainly as blends or composites with other polymers. The major drawbacks of using starch in such applications are water sensitivity and poor mechanical properties. Attempts have been made to improve the mechanical properties of starch-based blends and composites, by e.g., starch modification or plasticization, matrix reinforcement, and polymer blending. Polymer blending can bring synergetic benefits to blends and composites, but necessary precautions must be taken to ensure the compatibility of hydrophobic polymers and hydrophilic starch. Genetic engineering offers new possibilities to modify starch inplanta in a manner favorable for bioplastics applications, while the incorporation of antibacterial and/or antioxidant agents into starch-based food packaging materials brings additional advantages. In conclusion, starch is a promising material for bioplastic production, with great potential for further improvements. This review summarizes the recent advances in starch-based blends and composites and highlights the potential strategies for overcoming the major drawbacks of using starch in bioplastics applications.

Abstract
A comparative study between two novel starch modification technologies, i.e., microwave (MI) and γ-irradiation (IR), is of important significance for their applications. The objective of this work is to compare the changes in lotus rhizome starch (LRS) subjected to single modifications by MI (thermal treatment) and IR (non-thermal treatment), and dual modification by changing the treatment sequence, i.e., microwave followed by irradiation (MI-IR) and irradiation followed by microwave (IR-MI). The amylose content of native and modified LRS varied from 14.68 to 18.94%, the highest and lowest values found for native and MI-LRS, respectively. IR-treated LRS showed the lowest swelling power (4.13 g/g) but highest solubility (86.9%) among native and modified LRS. An increase in light transmittance value suggested a lower retrogradation rate for dual-modified starches, making them more suitable for food application at refrigeration and frozen temperatures. Dual-modified LRS showed the development of fissures and dents on the surface of granules as well as the reduction in peak intensities of OH and CH2 groups in FTIR spectra. Combined modifications (MI and IR) reduced values of pasting parameters and gelatinization properties compared to native and microwaved LRS and showed improved stability to shear thinning during cooking and thermal processing. The sequence of modification also affected the rheological properties; the G′ and G″ of MI-IR LRS were lower (357.41 Pa and 50.16 Pa, respectively) than the IR-MI sample (511.96 Pa and 70.09 Pa, respectively), giving it a soft gel texture. Nevertheless, dual modification of LRS by combining MI and IR made more significant changes in starch characteristics than single modifications.

Abstract
In this study, electron beam irradiation (EBI; 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 kGy), hydroxypropylation (HP) and dual modification of EBI-HP were applied to modify corn and potato starches. The results showed that the molar substitution (MS) of EBI-HP modified corn and potato starches were in the range of 0.060-0.087 and 0.080-0.124, respectively. After modifications, amylose content of corn (30.0 %) and potato (31.2 %) starches were declined to 24.2-28.1 % and 26.1-29.5 %, respectively, and relative crystallinity was reduced from 35.5 to 30.0 % for corn and 34.1 to 20.2 % for potato. Pasting properties decreased significantly in both starch sources with increasing irradiation dose. EBI decreased springiness, enthalpy of retrograded starch (ΔHr) and percentage of retrogradation (R%) on corn starches, which were different from those effects observed on potato starches. Meanwhile, HP increased peak viscosity up to 312.6 RVU and 1359.3 RVU for corn and potato starches, respectively. Moreover, EBI-HP was highly responsible for the decreases in the textural, gelatinization and retrogradation properties and relative crystallinity in both corn and potato starches. These results enhance the understanding of starch functionality modified by using both physical and chemical methods, and provide further insights on food and non-food applications.

Abstract
The increase in health and safety concerns regarding chemical modification in recent years has caused a growing research interest in the modification of starch by physical techniques. There has been a growing trend toward using a combination of treatments in starch modification in producing desirable functional properties to widen the application of a specific starch. In this study, a novel combination of gamma irradiation and annealing (ANN) was used to modify sago starch (Metroxylon sagu). The starch was subjected to gamma irradiation (5, 10, 25, 50 kGy) prior to ANN at 5 °C (To-5) and 10 °C (To-10) below the gelatinization temperature. Determination of amylose content, pH, carboxyl content, FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) intensity ratio (R1047/1022), swelling power and solubility, thermal behavior, pasting properties, and morphology were carried out. Annealing irradiated starch at To-5 promoted more crystalline perfection as compared to To-10, particularly when combined with 25 and 50 kGy, whereby a synergistic effect was observed. Dual-modified sago starch exhibited lower swelling power, improved gel firmness, and thermal stability with an intact granular structure. Results suggested the potential of gamma irradiation and annealing to induce some novel characteristics in sago starch for extended applications.

Abstract
Edible polymers such as polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids are biodegradable and biocompatible materials applied as a thin layer to the surface of food or inside the package. They enhance food quality by prolonging its shelf-life and avoiding the deterioration phenomena caused by oxidation, humidity, and microbial activity. In order to improve the biopolymer performance, antimicrobial agents and plasticizers are also included in the formulation of the main compounds utilized for edible coating packages. Secondary natural compounds (SC) are molecules not essential for growth produced by some plants, fungi, and microorganisms. SC derived from plants and fungi have attracted much attention in the food packaging industry because of their natural antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and their effect on the biofilm's mechanical properties. The antimicrobial and antioxidant activities inhibit pathogenic microorganism growth and protect food from oxidation. Furthermore, based on the biopolymer and SC used in the formulation, their specific mass ratio, the peculiar physical interaction occurring between their functional groups, and the experimental procedure adopted for edible coating preparation, the final properties as mechanical resistance and gas barrier properties can be opportunely modulated. This review summarizes the investigations on the antimicrobial, mechanical, and barrier properties of the secondary natural compounds employed in edible biopolymer-based systems used for food packaging materials.

Abstract
Developing novel bilayer food packing film having the ability to prevent bacterial infections and capable of inhibiting oxidation is utmost important, since bacterial infections and oxidation can cause food spoilage. Ag-Metal-organic framework loaded p-coumaric acid modified chitosan (P-CS/Ag@MOF) or chitosan nanoparticles (P-CSNPs/Ag@MOF) and polyvinyl alcohol/starch (PVA/ST) were used as the upper film and lower layer film to successfully prepare a bilayer composite film. The microscopic morphology, water resistance, oil resistance, oxidation resistance, optical properties, cytotoxicity and antibacterial properties of the composite films were compared. The results showed that the surface of P-CS/Ag@MOF bilayer was relatively smooth and its tensile strength (TS) was higher (27.67 MPa). Among them, P-CS/Ag@MOF bilayer films had better oil resistance and oxidation resistance activity. In addition, the P-CS/Ag@MOF bilayer film had good UV-blocking properties and transparency. P-CSNPs/Ag@MOF bilayer film had higher antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The food packaging sector generates large volumes of plastic waste due to the high demand for packaged products with a short shelf-life. Biopolymers such as starch-based materials are a promising alternative to non-renewable resins, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly food packaging alternative for single-use products. This article provides a chronology of the development of starch-based materials for food packaging. Particular emphasis is placed on the challenges faced in processing these materials using conventional processing techniques for thermoplastics and other emerging techniques such as electrospinning and 3D printing. The improvement of the performance of starch-based materials by blending with other biopolymers, use of micro- and nano-sized reinforcements, and chemical modification of starch is discussed. Finally, an overview of recent developments of these materials in smart food packaging is given.

Abstract
Starch is one of the most common and abundantly found carbohydrates in cereals, roots, legumes, and some fruits. It is a tasteless, colorless, and odorless source of energy that is present in the amyloplasts of plants. Native starch comprises amylose, a linear α-glucan having α-1,4-linkage and amylopectin, a branched polysaccharide with both α-1,4-linkage and α-1,6-linkage. Due to the low solubility, high viscosity, and unstable pasting property of native starch, it has been restricted from its application in industries. Although native starch has been widely used in various industries, modification of the same by various chemical, enzymatic and physical methods have been carried out to alter its properties for better performance in several industrial aspects. Physical modification like gamma radiation is frequently used as it is rapid, penetrates deeper, less toxic, and cost-effective. Starch when irradiated with gamma rays is observed to produce free radicals, generate sugars owing to cleavage of amylopectin branches, and exhibit variation in enzymatic digestion, amylose content, morphology, crystallinity, thermal property, and chemical composition. These physicochemical properties of the starch due to gamma radiation are assessed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and its application are discussed. Assessment and comparison of morphological features of native and gamma-irradiated starch. Investigation of crystallinity and structural type of crystalline domains through XRD. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the changes in chemical composition of gamma-irradiated and native starch. DSC analysis revealed the changes in gelatinization temperature of gamma-irradiated and native starch.

Abstract
The call to use biodegradable, eco-friendly materials is urgent. The use of biopolymers as a replacement for the classic petroleum-based materials is increasing. Chitosan and starch have been widely studied with this purpose: to be part of this replacement. The importance of proper physical characterization of these biopolymers is essential for the intended application. This review focuses on characterizations of chitosan and starch, approximately from 2017 to date, in one of their most-used applications: food packaging for chitosan and as an adsorbent agent of pollutants in aqueous medium for starch.

Characterization of polyvinyl alcohol/starch composite films incorporated with p-coumaric acid modified chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles: A comparative study. Carbohydr Polym 2021; 262:117930. [PMID: 33838808 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.117930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, polyvinyl alcohol/starch composite films with p-coumaric acid modified chitosan (P-CS) and chitosan nanoparticles (P-CSNPs) at different concentrations were successfully prepared. The films were compared for their mechanical, thermal, physical, antioxidant, antibacterial, cytotoxicity and optical barrier properties. The results suggested that P-CS could significantly increase the tensile strength (TS) of the film from 15.67 MPa to a maximum of 24.32 MPa. The compact structure of P-CSNPs film prevented water diffusion, reducing the water amount within. Both films showed a reduction in water solubility, the extent of swelling, and water vapor transmittance. Specifically, P-CSNPs films showed better thermal stability while P-CS films revealed higher antioxidant activity. Besides, the P-CS films exhibited excellent transparency and good ultraviolet-barrier at 200-280 nm. P-CSNPs films demonstrated higher antibacterial activity on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Additionally, P-CS films were less cytotoxic compared to P-CSNPs films.
