Electrospun films incorporating humic substances of application interest in sustainable active food packaging. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130210. [PMID: 38365144 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130210] [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: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
Sustainable active food packaging is essential to reduce the use of plastics, preserve food quality and minimize the environmental impact. Humic substances (HS) are rich in redox-active compounds, such as quinones, phenols, carboxyl, and hydroxyl moieties, making them functional additives for biopolymeric matrices, such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV). Herein, composites made by incorporating different amounts of HS into PHBV were developed using the electrospinning technology and converted into homogeneous and continuous films by a thermal post-treatment to obtain a bioactive and biodegradable layer which could be part of a multilayer food packaging solution. The morphology, thermal, optical, mechanical, antioxidant and barrier properties of the resulting PHBV-based films have been evaluated, as well as the antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans and the antimicrobial properties against both Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacterial strains. HS show great potential as natural additives for biopolymer matrices, since they confer antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties to the resulting materials. In addition, barrier, optical and mechanical properties highlighted that the obtained films are suitable for sustainable active packaging. Therefore, the electrospinning methodology is a promising and sustainable approach to give biowaste a new life through the development of multifunctional materials suitable in the active bio-packaging.

Abstract
The electrospinning technology has set off a tide and given rise to the attention of a widespread range of research territories, benefiting from the enhancement of nanofibers which made a spurt of progress. Nanofibers, continuously produced via electrospinning technology, have greater specific surface area and higher porosity and play a non-substitutable key role in many fields. Combined with the degradability and compatibility of the natural structure characteristics of polysaccharides, electrospun polysaccharide nanofiber membranes gradually infiltrate into the life field to help filter air contamination particles and water pollutants, treat wounds, keep food fresh, monitor electronic equipment, etc., thus improving the life quality. Compared with the evaluation of polysaccharide-based nanofiber membranes in a specific field, this paper comprehensively summarized the existing electrospinning technology and focused on the latest research progress about the application of polysaccharide-based nanofiber in different fields, represented by starch, chitosan, and cellulose. Finally, the benefits and defects of electrospun are discussed in brief, and the prospects for broadening the application of polysaccharide nanofiber membranes are presented for the glorious expectation dedicated to the progress of the eras.

Yang Z, Zhang D, Cai J. Robust design of starch composite nanofibrous films for active food packaging: Towards improved mechanical, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129329.

Abstract
Developing efficient and biodegradable packaging films is of paramount significance owing to the scarcity of petroleum based resources. However, their applications in food packaging are limited due to their poor mechanical properties and inadequate biological activities. This study proposes a novel approach to develop the starch composite nanofibrous films (SNFs/TA/Fe3+) consisting of starch, tannic acid, and Fe3+ using the temperature-assisted electrospinning method. The addition of TA resulted in a decrease in the rate of thermal degradation, indicating an improvement in the thermal stability of SNFs. However, the incorporation of TA or TA/Fe3+ showed only a slight impact on the internal structure of SNFs. SNFs/TA/Fe3+ loaded with 0.1 wt% of Fe3+ demonstrated a significantly higher tensile strength compared to SNFs and those loaded with TA alone. The presence of TA enhances the antioxidant activity of SNFs, and the robust SNFs/TA/Fe3+ exhibited comparable antioxidant activity to SNFs/TA. However, the SNFs/TA/Fe3+ showed a reduction in antibacterial activity, possibly due to the high valence state of the metal ions. Overall, these findings highlighted that a simple electrospinning method was used to produce SNFs/TA/Fe3+ resulted in improved mechanical properties and antioxidant activity, offering a new strategy for the development of active food packaging using SNFs.

Abstract
Sodium alginate (SA) was used as a co-stabilizer to improve the Pickering emulsions stabilized by starch nanocrystals (SNC). Compared with pure SNC, SNC/SA complexes possess better neutral wettability with the contact angle approaching to 90°, more surface negative charges, and lower oil-water interfacial tension. These properties of particles make as-prepared emulsion higher stability with the lower creaming index and average droplet size. Furthermore, the emulsion exhibited good stability against salt (0-600 mM) and pH (2.0-6.0) at higher SA concentration (1.0 wt%). Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images proved that SNC could be effectively adsorbed at the oil-water interface with the aid of SA. Rheological analysis showed that higher content of SA resulted in improved strength and higher viscosity of emulsion system. Results from this work indicating that SA could be a useful co-stabilizer to fulfill the demands of Pickering emulsions stabilized by SNC with stable characteristics.

Abstract
With the strengthening of the public awareness of food safety and environmental protection, functional food packaging materials have received widespread attention. Nanofibers are considered as promising packaging materials due to their unique one-dimensional structure (high aspect ratio, large specific surface area) and functional advantages. Electrospinning, as a commonly used simple and efficient method for preparing nanofibers, can obtain nanofibers with different structures such as aligned, core-shell, and porous structures by modifying the devices and adjusting the process parameters. The selection of raw materials and structural design of nanofibers can endow food packaging with different functions, including antimicrobial activity, antioxidation, ultraviolet protection, and response to pH. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the application of electrospun nanofibers in functional food packaging. Advances in electrospinning technology and electrospun materials used for food packaging are introduced. Moreover, the progress and development prospects of electrospun nanofibers in functional food packaging are highlighted. Meanwhile, the application of functional packaging based on nanofibers in different foods is discussed in detail.

Abstract
Food loss and waste occur for many reasons, from crop processing to household leftovers. Even though some waste generation is unavoidable, a considerable amount is due to supply chain inefficiencies and damage during transport and handling. Packaging design and materials innovations represent real opportunities to reduce food waste within the supply chain. Besides, changes in people's lifestyles have increased the demand for high-quality, fresh, minimally processed, and ready-to-eat food products with extended shelf-life, that need to meet strict and constantly renewed food safety regulations. In this regard, accurate monitoring of food quality and spoilage is necessary to diminish both health hazards and food waste. Thus, this work provides an overview of the most recent advances in the investigation and development of food packaging materials and design with the aim to improve food chain sustainability. Enhanced barrier and surface properties as well as active materials for food conservation are reviewed. Likewise, the function, importance, current availability, and future trends of intelligent and smart packaging systems are presented, especially considering biobased sensor development by 3D printing technology. In addition, driving factors affecting fully biobased packaging design and materials development and production are discussed, considering byproducts and waste minimization and revalorization, recyclability, biodegradability, and other possible ends-of-life and their impact on product/package system sustainability.

Abstract
Development of food packaging systems containing essential oils (EOs) has gained increased attention recently. However, the instability of EOs restricts their application. Therefore, effective encapsulation of EOs is demanded for their protection and controlled release. In this work, 1,8-cineole, the major component in Eucalyptus globulus essential oil, was encapsulated into hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to form an inclusion complex, which was then incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan composite polymer to fabricate nanofibrous film via electrospinning. The film with 40% (w/w) of inclusion complexes showed enhanced barrier and mechanical properties, and the release of 1,8-cineole from the film was sustained and dominated by the non-Fick diffusion. Moreover, this film could extend the shelf life of strawberries to 6 days at 25 ℃. This work suggested dual encapsulation of EOs by cyclodextrin and electrospun nanofibers is an ideal strategy to improve the availability of EOs, and the produced film is promising for food preservation.

Abstract
Starch-derived edible films have great potential as biodegradable food packaging and biomedical materials, in this study, we adopted a green method to prepare starch-based composite electrospun nanofibers films. The hydroxypropyl starches (HPS) were prepared to improve native starch solubility and properties, and a series of blend solutions were prepared with different HPS/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) weight ratios. The comparison of the properties of HPS/PVA (HPA) nanofibers with different amylose contents were evaluated, and the fibers fabricated from hydroxypropyl high amylose starch (HP-HAS) had more continuous and homogeneous morphologies compared to the other starch fibers, it was also found that the addition of HP-HAS in the film has better mechanical properties than pure PVA film. Thus, to improve the hydrophobicity of the film, the HP-HAS/PVA (HPA(H)) nanofiber was selected for the hydrophobic study by the citric acid (CA) treatment. The hydrophobic surface was formed on the HPA(H) film by CA self-assembled coating with a water contact angle changed from 30.95° up to 100.74°. This study successfully prepared the modified starch/PVA composite nanofibers and established a simple method of self-assembled hydrophobic modification to improve water stability. Therefore, this green strategy is an alternative candidate in further study for food packaging and relative areas.

Abstract
Polymers synthesized from green resources have many advantages in food packaging and hence their development is very important. Herein, starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibrous composite films were fabricated by electrospinning technology. Steam-induced cross-linking reaction with glutaraldehyde (GTA) and silver sodium zirconium phosphate (Ag-ZrP) was employed to improve the hydrophobic and antibacterial properties of the constructed nanofibrous films, respectively. The effects of starch/PVA ratio on the micro-morphology and mechanical properties of the binary composite film were investigated. The composite film showed optimal uniformity, bead-free electrospun nanofibers, with enhanced mechanical strength for the 60/40 (v/v) starch/PVA composite. Moreover, the crystallinity of PVA was reduced during the electrospinning process, whereas the introduction of PVA strengthened the hydrogen interactions and improved the thermal stability of the composite films. After the cross-linking with GTA, the starch/PVA films became more hydrophobic. Furthermore, the starch/PVA films embedded with Ag-ZrP had outstanding antibacterial property against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. This work demonstrated the potential prospects of electrospun starch nanofibrous films in the food packaging field.

Abstract
With the attention to pollution and human health, nontoxic food grade superhydrophobic coating as a strategy to reduce food waste has aroused wide interest. Herein, a food grade colorimetric starch-based waterproof coating was achieved using starch nanoparticle (SNP), stearic acid (STA) and anthocyanin. The as-prepared coating exhibited considerable thermostability and remarkable water repellency due to the low-surface-energy pomegranate pulp-like micro/nanostructure assembled by STA and SNP. The certain mechanical and chemical durability, prominent self-cleaning property and liquid food repellency in the coating had been thoroughly verified. Additionally, anthocyanin was creatively introduced to the coating via SNP loading, which endowed the coating with color response to different pH solutions. Thus, the coating is applicable to freshness monitoring without being disabled by water. This thermostable and colorimetric starch-based waterproof coating shows promising application prospects in advanced bio-based food-contact material field.

Abstract
Smart superhydrophobic sorbents are in high demand for cleaning oil spills that could endanger the aquatic ecosystem. Herein, we demonstrated the fabrication of a superhydrophobic and magnetic modular cryogel (SNS@Fe-PSC) containing three starch-based modules, namely, a superhydrophobic nano-coating, a magnetic nanocomposite insertion, and a high-strength starch/polyvinyl alcohol composite substrate. The surface chemical composition and hierarchical micro/nanostructures of this material were investigated in detail. The modular cryogel had a high water contact angle (>151°) and low sliding angle (<9°), as well as excellent water-repellent, self-cleaning, and anti-fouling properties. This material also exhibited good durability owing to its stable chemical bonding and structural support. SNS@Fe-PSC could be applied to remove oil from water effectively. Moreover, the magnetic module (saturation magnetization, 5.04 emu/g) allowed the as-obtained material to be propelled and controlled by a magnet on the surface of water. Variable magnetic-actuated motion direction could be realized by adjusting the position and amount of magnetic modules inserted to the cryogel.

Superhydrophobic starch-based adsorbent with honeycomb coral-like surface fabricated via facile immersion process for removing oil from water. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 207:549-558.

Abstract
The development of novel superhydrophobic adsorbents is highly demanded for tackling frequent oil spill accidents. Porous starch-based materials have been proven to possess good oil absorption performance, but their superhydrophobicity has not yet been reported, thus limiting their application in oil spill cleanup. Herein, a superhydrophobic starch-based adsorbent (MSC) was fabricated through the facile immersion process of starch cryogel (SC) into toluene solution of methyltrichlorosilane (MTS). Low-surface-energy and honeycomb coral-like micro/nanostructures, which contribute to high water contact angle (>151.0°) and low sliding angle (<15.0°), were provided simultaneously to SC by the hydrolysis-condensation reaction of MTS. MSC exhibited excellent water repellent, self-cleaning, and anti-fouling properties, as well as passable mechanical and chemical durability. The reasonable oil adsorption performance and selective wettability toward oil and water allowed this absorbent to be applied for heavy oil removal underwater and oil slick cleaning from the water surface. It is expected that the facile strategy provided by this work will accelerate the application of superhydrophobic starch-based materials in oil contamination removal and other industrial activities.

Abstract
Plastics around the globe have been a matter of grave concern due to the unavoidable habits of human mankind. Taking waste statistics in India for the year 2019-20 into account, the data of 60 major cities show that the generation of plastic waste stands tall at around 26,000 tonnes/day, of which only about 60 % is recycled. A majority of the non-recycled plastic waste is petrochemical-based packaging materials that are non-biodegradable in nature. Vegetative/food waste is another global issue, evidenced by vastly populated countries such as China and India accounting for 91 and 69 tonnes of food wastage, respectively in 2019. The mitigation of plastic packaging issues has led to key scientific developments, one of which is biodegradable materials. However, there is a way that these two waste-related issues can be fronted as the analogy of "taking two shots with the same arrow". The presence of various bio-compounds such as proteins, cellulose, starch, lipids, and waxes, etc., in food and vegetative waste, creates an opportunity for the development of biodegradable packaging films. Although these flexible packaging films have limitations in terms of mechanical, permeation, and moisture absorption characteristics, they can be fine-tuned in order to convert the biobased raw material into a realizable packaging product. These strategies could work in replacing petrochemical-based non-biodegradable packaging plastics which are used in enormous quantities for various household and commercial packaging applications to combat the ever-increasing pollution in highly populated countries. This paper presents a systematic review based on modern scientific tools of the literature available with a major emphasis on the past decade and aims to serve as a standard resource for the development of biodegradable packaging films from food/vegetative waste.

Abstract
Electrospinning has the advantages of simple manufacturing equipment, a low spinning cost, wide range of spinnable materials, and a controllable mild process, which can continuously fabricate submicron or nanoscale ultrafine polymer fibers without high temperature or high pressure. The obtained nanofibrous films may have a large specific surface area, unique pore structure, and easy-to-modify surface characteristics. This review briefly introduces the types and fiber structures of electrospinning and summarizes the applications of electrospinning for food production (e.g., delivery systems for functional food, filtration of beverages), food packaging (e.g., intelligent packaging, antibacterial packaging, antioxidant packaging), and food analysis (e.g., pathogen detection, antibiotic detection, pesticide residue detection, food compositions analysis), focusing on the advantages of electrospinning applications in food systems. Furthermore, the limitations and future research directions of the technique are discussed.

Abstract
The greater awareness of non-renewable natural resources preservation needs has led to the development of more ecological high-performance polymeric materials with new functionalities. In this regard, biobased composites are considered interesting options, especially those obtained from agro-industrial wastes and by-products. These are low-cost raw materials derived from renewable sources, which are mostly biodegradable and would otherwise typically be discarded. In this review, recent and innovative academic studies on composites obtained from biopolymers, natural fillers and active agents, as well as green-synthesized nanoparticles are presented. An in-depth discussion of biobased composites structures, properties, manufacture, and life-cycle assessment (LCA) is provided along with a wide up-to-date overview of the most recent works in the field with appropriate references. Potential uses of biobased composites from agri-food residues such as active and intelligent food packaging, agricultural inputs, tissue engineering, among others are described, considering that the specific characteristics of these materials should match the proposed application.

Abstract
Starch based food packaging has been receiving increasing attention. However, the inherent poor properties of starch restrict its practical applications in the versatile material science field. In this study, a fast, simple, and environmentally friendly route to construct polyfunctional starch/tea polyphenols nanofibrous films (STNFs) by one-step temperature-assisted electrospinning was developed. The effects of introduction of tea polyphenols (TP) on the mechanical and antioxidant activity of STNFs were comprehensively investigated. Results of ABTS·+ free radical scavenging assay showed that the antioxidant activity of STNFs was endowed by addition of TP with optimum mechanical properties confirmed by tensile test. More interestingly, the hydrophobicity of STNFs was improved dramatically with increasing cross-linking time as indicated by water contact angle (WCA) measurement showing no effect on the antioxidant activity of the films. The results of this work offer a major step forward to promote functional starch-based materials for sustainable application in food packaging.
