Abstract The rising packaging industry together with global demand for sustainable production has increased the interest in developing biodegradable materials. aim of study was to develop edible films based on pectin, gelatin, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose evaluate their applicability as materials gilthead seabream fillets. Mechanical properties, water barriers, wettability through contact angle measurement, optical, UV–Vis barrier properties were evaluated food applications. effective...
Fresh fish is a highly perishable product due to the chemical composition of flesh and high microbial load on surface. The natural microflora that more adopted low temperatures results also in lower thermal bacterial shock from temperature preservation range. development new processing (e.g. hydrostatic pressure, osmotic dehydration, high-intensity pulsed light) packaging modified atmospheres, active intelligent packaging) methods or novel combinations existing technologies sought by...
Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most widely used polymer for manufacturing plastic bottles appropriate water and soft beverages usage. The advantages of PET, regarding its mechanical barrier permeation properties, convenience, safety as food contact material, recyclability, are well documented during past decades. However, recent trends towards adoption circular economy EU Directives reduction impact products on environment has raised significant concerns about...
Abstract This study presents the valorization of side streams from sunflower-based biodiesel industry for production bio-based and biodegradable food packaging following circular economy principles. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was produced via fermentation in 6 L static tray bioreactors using nutrient-rich supplements derived enzymatic hydrolysis sunflower meal (SFM) combined with crude glycerol as carbon source. Novel biofilms were either matrices protein isolates extracted (SFMPI) alone or...
The properties of probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been widely studied over the last decades. In present study, four different LAB species, namely Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC 33323, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG 53103, Levilactobacillus brevis 8287, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 14917, were investigated in order to determine their ability survive human gut. They evaluated based on tolerance acids, resistance simulated gastrointestinal conditions, antibiotic resistance,...
The objective of the present study was to validate a kinetic model for growth spoilage bacteria in modified atmosphere packed (MAP) gilthead seabream fillets and select Time Temperature Integrator (TTI). temperature CO2 dependence lactic acid MAP expressed by an Arrhenius-type range 0–15 °C 20–80% CO2, which validated at isothermal, variable chill chain conditions. A new UV activatable photochemical TTI, kinetically studied influence level activation on response TTI modelled. Applying...
Fish and seafood are food products of high commercial value but with short shelf life. The objective this article is to review the available packaging techniques their applications on fish products, focusing research latest innovations. Modified atmosphere (MAP) has been investigated for selection optimum conditions different products. Recent innovations include combined application MAP other preservative factors, such as minimal processing or addition antioxidant and/or antimicrobial...
The objective of the study was to investigate efficiency slurry ice during harvesting and transportation European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) retain flesh quality extend shelf life, compared with conventional flake ice. Fish slaughtered transported in different mixtures (C: 100% ice-Control samples, SC: ice, S50: 50% ice-50% S100: ice) subsequently stored under controlled isothermal conditions at 0 °C for life modelling evaluation (proteolytic enzymes). replacement as a slaughtering...
The objective of the study was kinetic modeling effect storage temperature on quality and shelf life chilled fish, modified atmosphere-packed (MAP), osmotically pretreated with addition nisin as antimicrobial agent. Fresh gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) fillets were treated 50% high dextrose equivalent maltodextrin (DE 47) plus 5% NaCl. Water loss, solid gain, salt content, water activity monitored throughout treatment conditions selected for study. Untreated slices without (2 x 10(4)...
In-package cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) processing, which refers to the generation of CAP inside a sealed package, enables local disinfecting reaction, allowing no post-process contamination and extending shelf-life (SL) perishable food products, such as fresh fish. In present study, four in-package treatments, differing in frequency processing time, were applied on gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) fillets, prepacked low-permeability pouches. Fish SL was evaluated during isothermal storage...
Abstract Plant-based proteins are increasingly being used in aquafeeds, but one of the limitations is taurine deficiency that can be especially detrimental for carnivorous fish. In this study, supplementation high plant protein diets (low fish meal, 15%) was investigated on growth performance and fillet organoleptic characteristics European seabass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ), juveniles (78 ± 0.4 g). Five were formulated to contain 0 (C−), 5 (T5), 10 (T10) or 20 (T20) added (g/kg), while a...
