Improved Antioxidant and Mechanical Properties of Food Packaging Films Based on Chitosan/Deep Eutectic Solvent, Containing Acai-Filled Microcapsules

Barbara E. Teixeira-Costa et al.

Summary: The development of biobased antioxidant active packaging has gained attention in the food industry. Chitosan composite films were investigated as a potential active food packaging. The addition of acai oil polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) significantly impacted the properties of the films, including thickness, water vapor permeability, crystallinity, mechanical behavior, and antioxidant properties. Films with 1-2% PECs displayed the best combination of mechanical and antioxidant properties.

Chitosan Based Materials in Cosmetic Applications: A Review

Karolina Kulka et al.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of the properties and recent developments in the application of chitosan and chitosan-based materials in cosmetics. Chitosan, a polysaccharide derived from chitin, is mainly extracted from cell walls in fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods. Its natural humectant and moisturizing effects on the skin, as well as its role as a rheology modifier, have attracted attention from both academia and the cosmetic industry. The review covers the structure of chitosan, its sources in the cosmetic industry, and its role in cosmetics. Future applications of chitosan-based materials in cosmetics are also discussed.

Development and characterization of chitosan films carrying Artemisia campestris antioxidants for potential use as active food packaging materials

Salma Moalla et al.

Summary: Active food packaging films based on chitosan enriched with Artemisia campestris extract were developed, improving the physical, mechanical, thermal, and antioxidant properties of the films. The addition of ACHE and ACEO enhanced water resistance but reduced tensile strength and film extensibility. Incorporating A. campestris extract notably increased the antioxidant and UV-Vis barrier properties of the chitosan films, making them potential alternatives for food packaging.
