The Use of Carbon Dots for Food Packaging and Preservation: Toxic or Beneficial?

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 24(3)

Опубликована: Апрель 24, 2025

ABSTRACT Carbon dots (CDs), which are emerging as versatile nanomaterials, have gained interest in food packaging and preservation due to their sustainable origin multifunctional characteristics, such antimicrobial, antioxidant, UV‐protective properties. CDs can be synthesized from biomass been proposed functional additives material improve the safety shelf life of packaged food. Despite these benefits, concerns raised about potential toxicity when leached into foods, especially since they belong nanomaterial category. Interestingly, foodborne CDs, naturally formed heat‐processed foods consumed by humans for centuries, add a new complexity debate. Although there is no definitive evidence linking endogenous adverse health effects, some studies suggest interfere with metabolism animal models. In addition, presence hazardous substances thermally processed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), may further complicate assessment. This review addresses paradox CD sources, highlighting its dual role both potentially toxic agent beneficial material. More extensive research essential fully understand long‐term effects on human determine whether use truly safe or beneficial.

Fullerene-Functionalized Cellulosic Hydrogel Biosensor with Bacterial Turn-on Fluorescence Response Derived from Carboxymethyl Cellulose for Intelligent Food Packaging with DFT Calculations and Molecular Docking

Gels, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(5), С. 329 - 329

Опубликована: Апрель 28, 2025

This study reports the synthesis and characterization of a novel carboxymethyl cellulose-N-fullerene-g-poly(co-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid) (CMC-N-fullerene-AMPS) hydrogel for potential application in biosensing within food packaging. The was synthesized via free radical polymerization characterized using FTIR, SEM, fluorescence microscopy. FTIR analysis confirmed successful grafting AMPS incorporation N-fullerenes, indicated by characteristic peaks shift N-H/O-H stretching frequency. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations revealed that CMC-N-fullerene-AMPS exhibited higher stability lower band gap energy (0.0871 eV) compared to CMC-AMPS hydrogel, which means high reactivity CMC-N-fullerene-AMPS. N-fullerenes significantly enhanced hydrogel's antibacterial activity, demonstrating 22 mm inhibition zone against E. coli 24 S. aureus, suggesting active packaging applications. Critically, displayed unique "turn-on" response presence bacteria, with distinct color changes observed upon interaction (orange-red) aureus (bright green). enhancement, coupled porous morphology SEM (pore size 377-931 µm), suggests this as sensing platform bacterial contamination These combined properties activity distinct, bacteria-induced signal make promising candidate developing intelligent materials capable detecting spoilage.
