Melatonin/P34HB Films for Active Packaging: Optimizing Flavor Preservation and Quality of Honey Peaches During Storage

Foods, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 869 - 869

Published: March 3, 2025

To address unpredictable flavor changes in postharvest peaches during storage, this study investigated the use of bioactive packaging with melatonin-infused P34HB films. Films melatonin concentrations 0%, 1%, 3%, and 5% were prepared using extrusion casting method applied to peach storage at room temperature. Comprehensive film properties characterized, showing that minimally impacted films' mechanical properties, including gas water vapor permeability, but significantly increased haze. Using GC-IMS, 30 organic compounds affecting effectively identified, 8 aldehydes, 5 alcohols, 4 ketones, 12 esters, 1 pyrazine, olefin, furan. Unpackaged, naturally ripening served as a reference for assessing quality across various groups storage. The results indicated appearance off-flavor compounds, such ethanol produced by anaerobic respiration complex was primary cause deterioration. 1% most preserved original juiciness peaches, highlighting its potential an active solution fruit.

Edible biopolymers with functional additives coatings for postharvest quality preservation in horticultural crops: a review

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: April 28, 2025

Global concerns over the depletion of fossil fuels and their impact on environment have resulted in development bio-based materials with more sustainable approaches. The need for a economy reduction fuel dependency is driving research this field. Biopolymers are chain-like molecular structures made covalently attached monomeric units derived from renewable resources, microorganisms, or synthetic biodegradable sources. Although biopolymer-based coatings promising applications postharvest preservation, they often limited by inherent properties when applied alone to fresh produce. This review focuses assessing efficacy potential edible specific emphasis role functional additives enhancing performance. Furthermore, it explores how natural like essential oils, antioxidants, antimicrobials interact biopolymer matrixes synergy, evaluating enhanced extending shelf life produce as well environmental biodegradability. By analyzing interactions, release mechanisms, comparative effectiveness additives, future active ingredients creating multifunctional preservation systems that meet food safety sustainability requirements presented.

Improving Antimicrobial Properties of Biopolymer-Based Films in Food Packaging: Key Factors and Their Impact

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 25(23), P. 12580 - 12580

Published: Nov. 22, 2024

Biodegradable films derived from polysaccharides are increasingly considered eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic packaging in the food industry. The study's purpose was improve antimicrobial properties of biopolymer-based made starch, chitosan, alginate, and their blends (starch/chitosan starch/alginate) evaluate effects modifiers, i.e., plant extracts, plasticizers, cross-linking agents, nanofillers. Films were prepared via Solution Casting Method modified with various calcium chloride, oxidized sucrose, nanofiber cellulose (NC). Chestnut, nettle, grape, graviola extracts tested for activity against
