This review discusses the latest advances in composition of gelatin-based edible films and coatings, including nanoparticle addition, their properties are reviewed along potential for application food packaging industry. Gelatin is an important biopolymer derived from collagen extensively used by various industries because its technological functional properties. Nowadays, a very wide range components available to be included as additives improve properties, well applications future...
The interest for the development of new active packaging materials has rapidly increased in last few years. Antimicrobial is a potential alternative to protect perishable products during their preparation, storage and distribution increase shelf-life by reducing bacterial fungal growth. This review underlines most recent trends use edible coatings enriched with antimicrobial agents reduce growth different microorganisms, such as Gram-negative Gram-positive bacteria, molds yeasts. application...
ABSTRACT Active edible films represent one of the current and future trends in development new polymers for selected applications, particularly food packaging. Some biopolymers show excellent performance as carriers active compounds extracted from natural sources are able to be released at a controlled rate packaged food. In this review we aim present, comprehensive way, most recent advances updates subject, where much research is currently ongoing studies reported very often. This focuses...
The most fashionable trends in food packaging research are targeted towards improvements quality and safety by increasing the use of environmentally-friendly materials, ideally those able to be obtained from bio-based resources presenting biodegradable characteristics. Edible films represent a key area development new multifunctional materials their character properties effectively protect with no waste production. edible should considered as clean elegant solution problems related disposal...
The migration of antioxidant (AO) agents, carvacrol and thymol, from polypropylene (PP) packaging films containing the studied compounds at 80 g/kg separately an equimolar mixture them into food simulants was investigated. Fast reliable analytical procedures were developed validated for analysis AOs in simulants. For aqueous simulants, solid phase extraction followed by GC–MS performed. Fatty directly analysed HPLC-UV isooctane ethanol 950 mL/L, respectively. release dependent on type...
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are successfully synthesized through microwave heating by using Theobroma cacao L. bean shell extract as a stabilizing and capping agent. Response surface methodology is used to obtain optimal synthesis conditions. The effect of power, irradiation time amount Na2SeO3 evaluated on crystalline size X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Z-potential Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) central composite design (CCD). Optimal conditions determined 15.6 min, 788.6 W 0.14 g sodium...
Natural additives obtained from herbs and spices are being increasingly used in the food packaging industry.
Rice plants generate a large amount of straw after harvesting, which is currently managed mainly by incineration or used as animal bedding, fodder wrapping materials during transport. Other technological uses, such the production energy and biofuels, pulp paper construction have also been described. However, due to current European Union (EU) restrictions, alternatives for waste management must be sought. Valorisation rice aligned with Sustainable Development Goals agenda set EU, since...
A microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) procedure to isolate phenolic compounds from almond skin byproducts was optimized. three-level, three-factor Box–Behnken design used evaluate the effect of weight, microwave power, and irradiation time on total content (TPC) antioxidant activity (DPPH). Almond weight most important parameter in studied responses. The best achieved using 4 g, 60 s, 100 W, mL 70% (v/v) ethanol. TPC, (DPPH, FRAP), chemical composition (HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS) were determined by...
Aloe Vera is an ancient medicinal plant especially known for its beneficial properties human health, due to bioactive compounds. In this study, nanofibers with antioxidant activity were successfully obtained by electrospinning technique the addition of a natural skin extract (AVE) (at 0, 5, 10 and 20 wt% loadings) in poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) solutions. The successful incorporation AVE into PEO was evidenced scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...
