From traditional packaging to smart bio-packaging for food safety: a review

Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Сен. 3, 2024

Abstract The need to urgently find alternative plant-based biodegradable fibres is not just important, it a pressing necessity. severe environmental damage caused by plastic packaging materials demands immediate action. It responsibility that everybody should share reduce the global pollution rate and footprint. Biodegradable films from natural waste products have gained considerable consideration for their ability guarantee optimal product conservation while avoiding any risk of contamination or intoxication. Therefore, this overview addresses recent developments in food application sensors indicate possible packed spoilage. new role was discussed widely, traditional bio-based, active intelligent packaging. Until few years ago, had sole purpose protecting external contamination. However, barrier effect no longer enough: act directly on surrounding space. interesting innovation responds packaging, market with solid growth years. allows enhancement detection pathogens maintaining good monitoring environment inside package, continuously recording conditions. This more complete interactive information recorded thanks special analytical devices: sensors. They can detect transmit message consumer about quality, freshness safety, record internal changes product’s environment. these devices are free limitations, such as costs performance, which limit wider use.

Microplastics in Farmed Animals—A Review

Microplastics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3(4), С. 559 - 588

Опубликована: Сен. 30, 2024

Environmental pollution from plastics has become one of the biggest concerns globally. Microplastics (MPs) are plastic materials less than 5 mm in size. They remain environment for hundreds to thousands years without degrading, only breaking down further nanoplastics (NPs). Micro- and can be origin many diseases carry various pathogenic substances on their surface spread them throughout biosphere, starting with contained additives ending adsorbed toxins potentially microorganisms. Exposure routes humans animals through air, water food/feed. Due placement livestock—including ruminants, fish poultry—and at top food web, any water, air or soil eventually transferred livestock humans. The presence microplastics intestines aquaculture species, ruminants poultry, instance, was found cause a change intestinal microbial population and, as result, occurrence diseases. These particles have also been observed other organs such liver, kidneys, lung, spleen, heart, ovaries, testicles animals, which causes biochemical changes, structural destruction, malfunction. While complete extent negative health impacts remains still largely unknown, ubiquitous transmission chemicals organisms is notable issue, underscoring importance gaining more comprehensive understanding potential threats posed by animal ultimately human health, coupled need drastic reduction freight into environment. This review article summarizes recent findings effect micro- farmed ultimately, Action needed reduce number thereby humans, exposed.

High-Efficiency Degradation of PET Plastics by Glutathione S-Transferase under Mild Conditions

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Июль 16, 2024

Plastic pollution is a significant environmental concern globally. Plastics are normally considered chemically inert and resistant to biodegradation. Although many papers have reported enzyme-induced biodegradation of plastics, these studies primarily limited enzymes microbial origin or engineered enzymes. This study reveals that poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET, ∼6000 Da 100 kDa) particles plastic bottle debris (PBD, 24.9 can be efficiently degraded by mammal-origin natural phase II metabolic isozyme, glutathione S-transferase (GST), under mild conditions. The degradation efficiency PET plastics reached 98.9%, with rate 2.6 g·L–1·h–1 ambient physiological conditions at 1 atm. GST varying biological factors (i.e., temperature, light irradiation, pH, presence humic acid protein). We suggest novel mechanism for other than hydrolysis, i.e., the cleavage release monomers via nitridation oxidation. finding also function GST, previously thought only degrade small molecules (<1000 Da). method has been successfully applied in real human serum samples. Additionally, we tested confirmed ability digestive enzyme (trypsin) human-derived (CYP450). Overall, our findings provide potential new route control contribute understanding metabolism fate organisms.
