Sodium Alginate: A Green Biopolymer Resource-Based Antimicrobial Edible Coating to Enhance Fruit Shelf-Life: A Review

Colloids and Interfaces, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(3), P. 32 - 32

Published: May 19, 2025

Fruits are a significant source of natural nutrition for human health. However, the perishable nature and short shelf life fruits lead to spoilage, safety challenges, other substantial postharvest losses. Edible coatings have emerged as novel approach in order enhance by forming protective barrier against adverse environmental conditions microbial infections. Sodium alginate is recognized an excellent polysaccharide (derived from algae, seaweed, etc.) food industry edible fruit because its non-allergic, biodegradable, non-toxic (safe health), inexpensive, efficient gel/film-forming properties. hydrophilicity polysaccharides concern prevent growth mold yeast. In recent years, various plant extracts (containing multiple bioactive compounds, including polyphenolic acids) nanoparticles been applied sodium alginate-based films antimicrobial activity. This review study summarized advancements fabricating incorporating life. addition, approaches preparing basic mechanism behind role coating materials enhancing discussed. Moreover, limitations associated with highlighted.

Leveraging Flexible Pipette-based Tool Changes to Transform Liquid Handling Systems into Dual-Function Sample Preparation and Imaging Platforms

Published: Aug. 28, 2024

In this study, we present an advanced system that integrates simultaneous pipetting and in-situ imaging using the Opentron OT-2 liquid handling robot. This enables real-time monitoring characterization of dynamic processes, such as hydrogel crosslinking, without any manual intervention. The platform’s modular design maintains cost-effectiveness high-throughput capabilities while expanding versatility robot by incorporating functionalities into experimental workflow a pick-and-place apparatus. Due to its architecture, based on robot, can be adapted for wide range laboratory applications at affordable cost. solution offers practical approach automation, leading more efficient data-driven experimentation. Although ionically crosslinked hydrogels were used proof-of-concept, platform has potential across various materials systems, including crystallization dynamics, polymerization kinetics, drug delivery development.
