Recent Progress of Carrageenan-Based Composite Films in Active and Intelligent Food Packaging Applications

Polymers, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(7), P. 1001 - 1001

Published: April 6, 2024

Recently, as concerns about petrochemical-derived polymers increase, interest in biopolymer-based materials is increasing. Undoubtedly, biopolymers are a better alternative to solve the problem of synthetic polymer-based plastics for packaging purposes. There various types nature, and mostly polysaccharides used this regard. Carrageenan hydrophilic polysaccharide extracted from red algae has recently attracted great development food films. known its excellent film-forming properties, high compatibility good carrier properties. readily available low cost, making it candidate polymer matrix base material active intelligent The carrageenan-based film lacks mechanical, barrier, functional Thus, physical properties films can be enhanced by blending biopolymer with compounds nanofillers. Various bioactive ingredients, such nanoparticles, natural extracts, colorants, essential oils, have been incorporated into film. Carrageenan-based was found useful extending shelf life packaged foods tracking spoilage. there plenty research work published on potential Therefore, review discusses recent advances applications packaging. preparation were discussed, well their application real-time latest discussion carrageenan an traditionally may helpful further field.

Optimizing Growth Conditions and Biochemical Properties of Chondracanthus acicularis (Rhodophyta) in Laboratory Settings

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(2), P. 810 - 810

Published: Jan. 15, 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the laboratory cultivation of Chondracanthus acicularis, focusing on key environmental parameters such as nutrient levels and light exposure. The results provide insights into optimal growth conditions biochemical composition C. which are crucial for its sustainable exploitation in industrial applications. Significant differences relative rate (RGR) productivity (Y) were found between different treatments. Seaweed grown Provasoli (PES) Medium with white LED red showed best rates. Negative was observed treatments Nutribloom plus®, blue light. proximate analysis revealed a high moisture content across all treatments, significant ash organic matter use played role optimizing by influencing photosynthetic efficiency pigment production. varied significantly especially matter. Light also influenced pigmentation colour characteristics, changes phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, chlorophyll concentration. PES consistently highest variation. These findings highlight influence seaweed growth, productivity, pigmentation, composition, valuable optimized strategies.
