Active packaging that prolongs food shelf life, maintaining its quality and safety, is an increasing industrial demand, especially if integrated in a circular economy model. In this study, the fabrication characterization of sustainable cellulose-based active using food-industry waste natural extracts as antioxidant agents was assessed. Grape marc, olive pomace moringa leaf obtained by supercritical fluid, antisolvent maceration extraction different solvents were compared for their power...
In order to establish the differences in packaging containing various essential oils, polylactide (PLA)-based polymeric films incorporating poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), clove (C), grapefruit (G), rosemary (R), and tea tree (T) oils were obtained subsequently analyzed. addition examining structure morphology, polymer underwent analyses that are particularly important with regard contact food. Mechanical antioxidant properties, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), analysis of barrier...
Polymeric films based on polylactide (PLA) with the addition of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and a chloroformic extract propolis were obtained. In case studied films, played role polymeric matrix was used as plasticizer, while incorporated compound that could significantly affect properties obtained materials, especially water vapour permeation rate stability food products. Moreover, changes in structure, morphology, mechanical storage well differences colour, thickness transparency after...
Active food packaging is an innovative system that avoids deterioration ensuring quality, safety and shelf-life extension of food. Herein, two novel eugenol vinyl-based resins were used for coating flexible aluminium foils with potential applications. Coatings prepared single or loaded in Santa Barbara Amorphous15 (SBA-15) mesoporous silica nanoparticles, their antioxidant activity was investigated by DPPH, ABTS, ORAC, TBARS assays the hydroxyl free radicals' generator method HPLC analysis....
Nowadays, polypropylene is one of the most common polymers used in food packaging industry due to its good functionality and relatively low cost. Nevertheless, usage plastic disposable can be a generator pollution having negative environmental effects. A feasible solution for this issue would recycle. The samples were submitted two processes, forced contamination, recycling, they analyzed by solid-phase microextraction gas chromatograph-olfactometry-mass spectrometry. 45 different volatile...
New active polyethylene packaging with both antioxidant and antimicrobial properties was designed produced using three different concentrations of encapsulated carvacrol. Films containing 10%, 20% 30% capsules showed strong activity as hydroxyl (OH·) radical scavengers, while only films anti-Salmonella enterica activity. Storage rolls in sealed aluminium bags maintained the for up to 9 months. Two strategies were used control or eliminate odour developed materials: masking spray multilayer...
Annatto (Bixa orellana L.) is cultivated primarily for the extraction of bixin, a natural dye with substantial industrial importance, resulting in generation large quantities residues that remain underutilized. This study provides first in-depth characterization annatto byproducts derived through molecular distillation, highlighting their untapped potential sustainable innovation. Employing state-of-the-art techniques-HS-SPME-GC-MS volatile compounds and UPLC-MS/QTOF non-volatile ones-the...
In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on packaging made from biodegradable materials. These materials not only help to reduce environmental impact, but also extend the shelf life of food products, thereby contributing significant reduction in waste. order develop novel polymeric films for use as active packaging, polylactide filled with vanillic acid were prepared. Analyses conducted determine influence structural morphology and key storage properties resulting films, including...
The electrospun nanosystems containing poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and 1 wt% Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) (with the content of dopant in range 0–1 Fe) deposited onto polylactic acid (PLA) film were prepared for food packaging application. They investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), diffraction (XRD), antimicrobial analysis, photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) techniques....
Macerates of kibbles, seeds and leaves Ceratonia siliqua L. were prepared analysed to apply them for the development a new multilayer active packaging. The profile forty-three different bioactive volatile compounds was obtained employing headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). antioxidant capacity investigated using following methods: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl phosphomolybdenum method, which demonstrated stronger in case...
Two antioxidant bio-based packaging materials incorporated with an 8% aqueous solution of carob seed ethanol macerate (CSE) or acetone (CSA) were developed. Fresh salmon fillets packaged in active and control films stored at refrigeration temperature 4 ± 1 °C. The quality was evaluated by sensory analysis, color, pH, water holding capacity drip loss, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, total volatile basic nitrogen. CSE CSA samples presented satisfactory off-odor overall acceptability...
Although most new biomaterials for food industry applications are labelled '100% natural fabrication' and 'chemical-free', certain compounds may migrate from those materials to the food, compromising organoleptic characteristics safety of product. In this work, degree compound migration dishes made with four different biomaterials: bamboo, palm leaf, wood wheat pulp was investigated. Migration tests were carried out using three simulants, 10% ethanol (simulant A), 3% acetic acid B), 95% D2)....
