Design and characterization of tannic acid/ε-polylysine biocomposite packaging films with excellent antibacterial and antioxidant properties for beef preservation. Food Chem 2024; 439:138155. [PMID: 38081095 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
The shelf life of beef is shortened by microbial infection, which limits its supply in the market. Active packaging film is expected to overcome this difficulty. In this study, an antibacterial/antioxidant SS-ε-PL-TA biocomposite film made by soy protein isolate/sodium alginate/ε-polylysine/tannic acid was designed and prepared. Due to the formation of hydrogen bonds and enhanced hydrophobic interactions, the biocomposite film showed enhanced mechanical property. Tensile strength increased from 22.8 ± 2.59 MPa to 64.34 ± 6.22 MPa, and elongation at break increased from 7.70 ± 1.07 % to 13.98 ± 0.22 %. The composite film displayed excellent antibacterial activity owing to the damage to cell membranes and biofilms of bacteria. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity also significantly increased (DPPH ∙ scavenging activity was 78.0 %). The shelf life of beef covered with the SS-ε-PL-TA film was extended by 3 days compared to the control group by decreasing lipid oxidation and inhibiting bacterial growth, showing a good application potential in food packaging.

Abstract
Eucalypt kraft lignin isolated in a LignoBoost™ pilot plant was characterized by GC-MS, ICP-OES, DSC, HPSEC, 31P NMR, and HSQC 2D-NMR to be used without any further processing to produce lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) by nanoprecipitation. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used as a solvent, and water as a non-solvent. Microscopic analysis (TEM) showed that LNPs were regularly spherical with some hollow particles dispersed in-between, and sizes were tunable by changing the solvent dripping rate onto the non-solvent. LNP particle sizes had a bimodal distribution, with the largest population having an average apparent hydrodynamic diameter ranging from 105.6 to 75.6 nm. Colloidal dispersions of LNPs in water presented good stability in different dilutions without significant size changes upon storage at pH close to neutral for as long as 45 days. Zeta potentials around -40 mV were obtained for LNP suspensions at pH ranging from 7 to 9. The high carbohydrate content (circa 10 % on a dry basis, mostly xylans) of the lignin precursor did not interfere in LNP formation, whose antioxidant activity was expressive as demonstrated by the ABTS assay at pH 7.4, with an EC50 of 4.04 μg mL-1. Also, the Trolox® equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) of LNPs reached 1.90 after 40 min reaction time.

Abstract
The construction of an effective antibacterial micro-environment to prevent infection and biofilm formation is critically important for the design of wound dressings. Herein, a novel hydrogel wound dressing was fabricated by embedding Au nanoparticles-decorated halloysite nanotubes (Au@HNTs) into the lignin-based hydrogel matrix containing polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan. The resulting composite hydrogel, noted as LPC-Au@HNTs, exhibited an excellent photothermal antibacterial activity owing to the embedded Au@HNTs in which Au nanoparticles were generously filled into the lumen of Halloysite nanotubes. The typical sample containing 4 wt% of Au@HNTs in the composite hydrogel (LPC-Au@HNTs4) had good mechanical and photothermal properties. The surface temperature of as-prepared hydrogel increased to 57.59 °C after 5 min upon NIR light irradiation (808 nm) at 1.0 W/cm2. The photothermal effect endowed the hydrogel dressing with excellent antibacterial activity, with significantly enhanced inhibition rates of Escherichia coli (99.00 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (98.88 %). Experiments in a mouse full-thickness skin defect wound model also showed that the hydrogel dressing had a facilitative effect on the repair of traumatic surfaces. This study provides a broadly appliable wound dressing for treating bacteria-infected wounds, greatly contributing to the design of photothermal antibacterial biomedical materials for wound healing.

Abstract
The control of microbial infection transmission often relies on the utilization of synthetic and metal-based antimicrobial agents. However, their non-biodegradability and inadequate disposal practices lead to significant environmental contamination. To address this concern, the quest for natural alternatives has gained paramount importance. Lignin, a widely available renewable aromatic compound, emerges as a promising candidate owing to its inherent phenolic moiety, which lends itself well to acting as a natural antimicrobial agent either independently or in combination with other agents. This article provides a comprehensive account of the structure and primary classes of lignin. Additionally, it elucidates the antimicrobial mechanism of lignin, the factors influencing its efficacy, and the methods employed for its detection. Moreover, it describes the progress made in developing the antimicrobial capacity of lignin in different areas. In conclusion, this paper not only outlines the current state of research on the antimicrobial function of lignin, but also identifies challenges and future possibilities for enhancing its antimicrobial properties. This work holds great significance in the ongoing endeavor to contribute to high-impact research on natural alternatives for controlling infections and fostering environmentally conscious practices.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbonyl, chlorine, bromine, and iodine species (RXS, where X = O, N, S, C, Cl, Br, and I) have important roles in various normal physiological processes and act as essential regulators of cell metabolism; their inherent biological activities govern cell signaling, immune balance, and tissue homeostasis. However, an imbalance between RXS production and consumption will induce the occurrence and development of various diseases. Due to the considerable progress of nanomedicine, a variety of nanosystems that can regulate RXS has been rationally designed and engineered for restoring RXS balance to halt the pathological processes of different diseases. The invention of radical-regulating nanomaterials creates the possibility of intriguing projects for disease treatment and promotes advances in nanomedicine. In this comprehensive review, we summarize, discuss, and highlight very-recent advances in RXS-based nanomedicine for versatile disease treatments. This review particularly focuses on the types and pathological effects of these reactive species and explores the biological effects of RXS-based nanomaterials, accompanied by a discussion and the outlook of the challenges faced and future clinical translations of RXS nanomedicines.

Abstract
Lignin is a natural aromatic polymer of p-hydroxyphenylpropanoids with various biological activities. Noticeably, plants have made use of lignin as biocides to defend themselves from pathogen microbial invasions. Thus, the use of isolated lignin as environmentally benign antimicrobial is believed to be a promising high value approach for lignin valorization. On the other hand, as green and sustainable product of plant photosynthesis, lignin should be beneficial to reduce the carbon footprint of antimicrobial industry. There have been many reports that make use of lignin to prepare antimicrobials for different applications. However, lignin is highly heterogeneous polymers different in their monomers, linkages, molecular weight, and functional groups. The structure and property relationship, and the mechanism of action of lignin as antimicrobial remains ambiguous. To show light on these issues, we reviewed the publications on lignin chemistry, antimicrobial activity of lignin models and isolated lignin and associated mechanism of actions, approaches in synthesis of lignin with improved antimicrobial activity, and the applications of lignin as antimicrobial in different fields. Hopefully, this review will help and inspire researchers in the preparation of lignin antimicrobial for their applications.

Abstract
Lignin-containing nanocelluloses (LNCs) have the properties of both lignin and nanocellulose and could overcome the limits of both individual components in metallic nanoparticle synthesis. However, studies on LNCs are still limited, and the potential of such nanomaterials for metallic nanoparticle synthesis has not been fully unraveled. In this study, monometallic silver, gold nanoparticles, and Ag-Au-AgCl nanohybrids were synthesized in situ utilizing LNCs in a chemical-free approach. The parameters, including Ag+ and Au3+ concentrations as well as [Au3+]/[Ag+] ratios, were investigated for their effects on the nanoparticle synthesis. The characterizations, including UV-vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), confirmed the coexistence of Ag, Au, and AgCl while indicating the key role of lignin and oxygen-containing functional groups in the nanoparticle synthesis. The as-synthesized AgNPs-, AuNPs-, and nanohybrids-LNC samples were tested for their antibacterial activities. In comparison to the monometallic AgNPs-LNC sample, nanohybrids-LNC synthesized with 0.063 mM Au3+ loading showed superior antibacterial activities with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) at 5 μg/mL against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and 10 μg/mL against Gram-negative Salmonella typhimurium with controlled Ag+ release. The results indicated that LNCs can be used to synthesize metallic nanoparticles, and the resultant Ag-Au-AgCl nanohybrids were a potent antibacterial agent with reduced environmental impacts.

Abstract
Nanopesticide is one of the best pesticide formulation technologies to overcome the disadvantages of traditional pesticides, which has received great attention from the international community. Using high-speed emulsification and ultrasonic dispersion technology, an avermectin nano-delivery system (Av-NDs) with a particle size of 80-150 nm was prepared through embedding the pesticide molecule utilizing the cross-linking reaction between sodium lignosulfonate and p-phenylenediamine diazonium salt. The formulation and composition of Av-NDs were optimized, the morphology of Av-NDs was analyzed by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope and dynamic light scattering, and the structure of Av-NDs was characterized by UV, IR and 1H NMR. Anti-photolysis and controlled-release tests show that the stability of Av-NDs is 3-4 times of the original avermectin (Av) and possesses the pH-responsive controlled release property. Furthermore, the insecticidal activity of Av-NDs is better than that of avermectin suspension concentrate (Av-SC). The Av-NDs with anti-photolysis and controlled-release characteristics is suitable for large-scale industrial production and is capable to be utilized as effective insecticide in the field.

Abstract
For several biomedical applications, it is essential to develop novel bioactive materials. Such biomaterials could potentially improve wound healing, prevent infections, or be used in immunoengineering. For example, bioactive materials that reduce oxidative stress without relying on antibiotics and other drugs could be beneficial. Hydrogel-based biomaterials, especially those derived from natural polymers, have been regarded as one of the most promising scaffolds for biomedical research. These multifunctional scaffolds can exhibit high water adsorption capacity, biocompatibility, and biomechanical properties that can match native tissues. Cryogels are a special type of hydrogels in which polymers are cross-linked around ice crystals. As a result, cryogels exhibit unique physical features, including a macroporous and interconnected network, flexibility, shape-memory properties, and syringe injectability. Herein, we developed a multifunctional, i.e., antibacterial, antioxidant, and injectable cryogel by combining lignin with gelatin. The cryogel with 0.2% lignin showed a compressive modulus of 25 kPa and a compressive stress of 140 kPa at 80% strain, which is, respectively, 1.8 and 7 times higher than those of the pure gelatin cryogels. Meanwhile, such a cryogel formulation could completely recover its shape after compression up to 90% and was needle-injectable. Additionally, the lignin-co-gelatin cryogel with 0.1-0.2 lignin showed 8-10 mm of inhibition zone against the most common surgical site infection-associated pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, lignin-co-gelatin cryogel was found to scavenge free radicals and have good cytocompatibility, and the cryogels with up to 0.2% lignin minimally activate naïve mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. Overall, the current approach shows great promise for the design of bioresource-based multifunctional cryogels for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Significant progress in lignins valorization and development of high-performance sustainable materials have been achieved in recent years. Reports related to lignin utilization indicate excellent prospects considering green chemistry, chemical engineering, energy, materials and polymer science, physical chemistry, biochemistry, among others. To fully realize such potential, one of the most promising routes involves lignin uses in nanocomposites and nanohybrid assemblies, where synergistic interactions are highly beneficial. This review first discusses the interfacial assembly of lignins with polysaccharides, proteins and other biopolymers, for instance, in the synthesis of nanocomposites. To give a wide perspective, we consider the subject of hybridization with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, as well as uses as precursor of carbon materials and the assembly with other biobased nanoparticles, for instance to form nanohybrids. We provide cues to understand the fundamental aspects related to lignins, their self-assembly and supramolecular organization, all of which are critical in nanocomposites and nanohybrids. We highlight the possibilities of lignin in the fields of flame retardancy, food packaging, plant protection, electroactive materials, energy storage and health sciences. The most recent outcomes are evaluated given the importance of lignin extraction, within established and emerging biorefineries. We consider the benefit of lignin compared to synthetic counterparts. Bridging the gap between fundamental and application-driven research, this account offers critical insights as far as the potential of lignin as one of the frontrunners in the uptake of bioeconomy concepts and its application in value-added products.

NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11071812. [PMID: 34361198 PMCID: PMC8308329 DOI: 10.3390/nano11071812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
In the current study, we fabricated tannic acid-alendronate (TA-ALN) nanocomplexes (NPXs) via self-assembly. These TA-ALNs were characterized by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The TA-ALNs were evaluated for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenesis-accelerating abilities in osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-E1 cells). All TA-ALNs displayed nano-sized beads that were circular in form. Treatment with TA-ALN (1:0.1) efficiently removed reactive oxygen species in cells and protected osteoblast-like cells from toxic hydrogen peroxide conditions. Moreover, TA-ALN (1:0.1) could markedly decrease the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cells. Furthermore, cells treated with TA-ALN (1:1) exhibited not only significantly greater alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium collection, but also outstandingly higher mRNA levels of osteogenesis-related elements such as collagen type I and osteocalcin. These outcomes indicate that the prepared TA-ALNs are excellent for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic acceleration. Accordingly, TA-ALN can be used latently for bone renovation and regeneration in people with bone fractures, diseases, or disorders.

Abstract
Light activatable porphyrinic photosensitizers (PSs) are essential components of anticancer and antimicrobial therapy and diagnostic imaging. However, their biological applications are quite challenging due to the lack of hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. To overcome such drawbacks, photosensitizers can be doped into a biocompatible polymer such as gelatin and further can be used for biomedical applications. Herein, first, a novel A4 type porphyrin PS [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-pyridylamidephenyl)porphyrin; TPyAPP] was synthesized via a rational route with good yield. Further, this porphyrin was encapsulated into the gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) to develop hydrophilic phototherapeutic nanoagents (PTNAs, A4por-GNPs). Notably, the synthesis of such porphyrin-doped GNPs avoids the use of any toxic chemicals or solvents. The nanoprobes have also shown good fluorescence quantum yield demonstrating their applicability in bioimaging. Further, the mechanistic aspects of the anticancer and antimicrobial efficacy of the developed A4por-GNPs were evaluated via singlet oxygen generation studies. Overall, our results indicated porphyrin-doped biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles act as effective phototherapeutic agents against a broad range of cancer cell lines and microbes upon activation by the low-cost LED light.

Co-administration of zinc phthalocyanine and quercetin via hybrid nanoparticles for augmented photodynamic therapy. NANOMEDICINE : NANOTECHNOLOGY, BIOLOGY, AND MEDICINE 2021; 33:102368.

Abstract
The photodynamic anticancer activity of a photosensitizer can be further increased by co-administration of a flavonoid. However, this requires that both molecules must be effectively accumulated at the tumor site. Hence, in order to enhance the activity of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc, photosensitizer), it was co-encapsulated with quercetin (QC, flavonoid) in lipid polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPNs) developed using biodegradable & biocompatible materials and prepared using a single-step nanoprecipitation technique. High stability and cellular uptake, sustained release, inherent fluorescence, of ZnPC were observed after encapsulation in the LPNs, which also showed a higher cytotoxic effect in breast carcinoma cells (MCF-7) compared to photodynamic therapy (PDT) alone. In vivo studies in tumor-bearing Sprague Dawley rats demonstrated that the LPNs were able to deliver ZnPc and QC to the tumor site with minimal systemic toxicity and increased antitumor effect. Overall, the photodynamic effect of ZnPc was synergized by QC. This strategy could be highly beneficial for cancer management in the future while nullifying the side effects of chemotherapy.

Abstract
Pathogenic microbes are a major source of health and environmental problems, mostly due to their easy proliferation on most surfaces. Currently, new classes of antimicrobial agents are under development to prevent microbial adhesion and biofilm formation. However, they are mostly from synthetic origin and present several disadvantages. The use of natural biopolymers such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, derived from lignocellulosic materials as antimicrobial agents has a promising potential. Lignocellulosic materials are one of the most abundant natural materials from renewable sources, and they present attractive characteristics, such as low density and biodegradability, are low-cost, high availability, and environmentally friendly. This review aims to provide new insights into the current usage and potential of lignocellulosic materials (biopolymer and fibers) as antimicrobial materials, highlighting their future application as a novel drug-free antimicrobial polymer.

Abstract
Many coating materials are commercially available to combat microbial infections. However, these coatings are difficult to synthesize, and are mostly composed of toxic chemicals. Lignin is an under-explored natural biopolymer with multifaceted potential. Lignin, with adhesive, UV resistant, and antimicrobial properties, is a suitable candidate to develop coating materials. Here we report a smart method to fabricate a sustainable nanospray coating from lignin which does not require any toxic chemicals or additives during synthesis. Initially, we have developed stable lignin nanospheres in a single step in aqueous medium, which were later utilized as a lignin nanospray (LNSR). The LNSR was characterized by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, FTIR and other analytical techniques. This LNSR showed remarkable UV blocking, antioxidant and light-activated antimicrobial properties. Interestingly, for the first time, the LNSR demonstrated photoluminescence, making it useful for bioimaging. Moreover, singlet oxygen generation potential was observed in the LNSR, which could render it useful in phototheranostic applications (i.e. light assisted imaging and photodynamic therapy). Further, the LNSR was directly utilized to fabricate a sustainable coating. The nanospray coating exhibited maximum light-induced cell killing when applied to common microbes as detected by live-dead cell imaging. Taken together, the lignin nanospray coating developed via a direct pathway holds great promise to disinfect microbes in the presence of light.

Abstract
In light of current environmental pressures (referring to its destruction) and the consumption of petrochemical resources, the substitution of chemicals products with renewable natural substances has attracted extensive interest. In this paper, a synergistically constructed lignin polypropylene matrix composite with long-chain branched characteristics was prepared by a pre-irradiation and melt blending method. The effects of lignin on the crystallization, rheological behavior, foaming and aging properties of polypropylene were studied. Differential scanning calorimetry and polarized light microscopy results show that lignin undergoes heterophasic nucleation in a polypropylene matrix; rheological studies show that lignin promotes the formation of a heterogeneous polypropylene network, and thus polypropylene exhibits long-chain branching features; nucleation and a network structure endow the polypropylene-based composites with uniform cell size, thin cell walls, and a foaming ratio of 5–44 times; at the same time, a large number of hindered phenols in lignin can capture free radicals to improve the aging properties of the polypropylene. This research will help to convert industrial waste into functional composite materials. Polypropylene with long chain branching behavior was constructed by lignin, which foaming property and polarity were improved.![]()

Abstract
Lignin is the second most earth-abundant biopolymer having aromatic unit structures, but it has received less attention than other natural biomaterials. Recent advances in the development of lignin-based materials, such as mesoporous carbon, flexible thin films, and fiber matrix, have found their way into applications to photovoltaic devices, energy-storage systems, mechanical energy harvesters, and catalytic components. In this Review, we summarize and suggest another dimension of lignin valorization as a building block for the synthesis of functional materials in the fields of energy and environmental applications. We cover lignin-based materials in the photovoltaic and artificial photosynthesis for solar energy conversion applications. The most recent technological evolution in lignin-based triboelectric nanogenerators is summarized from its fundamental properties to practical implementations. Lignin-derived catalysts for solar-to-heat conversion and oxygen reduction are discussed. For energy-storage applications, we describe the utilization of lignin-based materials in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors (e.g., electrodes, binders, and separators). We also summarize the use of lignin-based materials as heavy-metal adsorbents for environmental remediation. This Review paves the way to future potentials and opportunities of lignin as a renewable material for energy and environmental applications.

Hu J, Liu S, Deng W. Dual responsive linalool capsules with high loading ratio for excellent antioxidant and antibacterial efficiency. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2020; 190:110978. [PMID: 32203910 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2020.110978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2020] [Revised: 03/13/2020] [Accepted: 03/14/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Linalool is a main component in different naturally derived essential oils, and widely used in household, personal care, food and therapeutic formulations. However, the application is limited due to its high volatility and low stability. In this study, an effective encapsulation with high loading ratio was built up together with thermal-redox dual responsiveness and controlled release properties. The emulsified linalool droplets were modified with carbon-carbon double bonds, followed by the precipitation polymerization with thermal sensitive monomer, N-vinyl caprolactam. The average size and the loading ratio of the prepared linalool capsules were 1.4 μm and 50.41 wt%. The linalool capsules exhibited thermal-redox dual responsive properties and the antioxidant-antibacterial performance. Especially, responding to the stimuli mimicking practical circumstance, the synthesized capsules presented excellent bacteria inhibiting effect. This work may open a new path for fragrance and essential oil encapsulation, enlarging them as the green biological antibacterial agents in different applications.
