Chitosan-metal and metal oxide nanocomposites for active and intelligent food packaging; a comprehensive review of emerging trends and associated challenges

Carbohydrate Polymers, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 357, P. 123459 - 123459

Published: March 3, 2025

In recent years, significant advancements in biopolymer-based packaging have emerged as a response to the environmental challenges posed by traditional petroleum-based materials. The drive for sustainable, renewable, and degradable alternatives fossil-based components industry has led an increased focus on chitosan, second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose. Chitosan offers intrinsic properties such biodegradability, biocompatibility, antimicrobial activity, excellent barrier film-forming capabilities, positioning it ideal candidate food applications. However, limitations including inferior mechanical, thermal, properties, brittleness compared conventional plastics limiting its widespread adoption industry. been extensively utilized various forms, particularly nanocomposites incorporating metal nanoparticles, leading chitosan-based nanocomposite films/coatings that synergistically combine advantageous of both chitosan nanoparticles. Through in-depth analysis current research (primarily last 5 years), this review delves into physicochemical, sensing, innovative material. This will provide insights potential toxicity impact nanoparticle migration, well prospects associated with chitosan-metal/metal oxide films development sustainable solutions.

Development of Edible Nanocomposite Films Incorporating Cinnamaldehyde-Carvacrol for Extending the Shelf Life of Ready-to-Eat Steaks

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

To extend the shelf life of ready-to-eat steaks, a novel active food cold packaging material was developed by blending gelatin, barley β-glucan, and cinnamaldehyde-carvacrol essential oils(CCO) encapsulated in MCM-41 (MEONs). Finally, composite film (MEONF) applied to steaks study changes flora physico-chemical parameters during shelf-life.The results showed that addition 1% MEON improved mechanical properties films reduced water, oil oxygen permeability. When steak, pH, TBARS TVB-N were significantly slowed down (P < 0.05). MEONF effectively inhibited growth Pseudomonas Bacteroides (4°C) uncultured_Chloroflexi_bacterium, unclassified_Elsterales, Bryobacter, unclassified_Xanthobacteraceae (25°C). Notably, could be preserved for 12 days at 25°C 18 4°C. These collectively suggest this nanocomposite is safe, biocompatible option can even steaks.

Purpose Existing research on the effects of azo dyes human health is insufficient and often contradictory. Children are more exposed to negative food than adults because they consume foods drinks containing dyes. The aimed address potential histopathological impacts Sunset Yellow lungs hearts developing mice. Design/methodology/approach About36 adult male Swiss albino mice were separated into six groups (n: 6). created, including three treatment (four, eight 10 weeks old) control groups. (a dose level 30 mg/kg/bw) per week was administered orally for 28 days groups, while not treated. On final day research, sacrificed by cervical dislocation, their removed. tissues preserved in 10% formaldehyde processed through a series alcohol xylene. Then dyed with hematoxylin-eosin evaluated under light electron microscopy. Findings caused significant increases mean body weight ( p : 0.013), lung 0.011) heart 0.049).
