Ultrasonication significantly enhances grafting efficiency of chitosan-ferulic acid conjugate and improves its film properties under Fenton system

Haishan Xu et al.

Summary: Ultrasonication-assisted Fenton-system (US-Fenton) was used to synthesize chitosan-ferulic acid conjugates, and the effect of different ultrasonication times on the conjugates was investigated. The conjugate obtained after 1 minute of ultrasonication (FUS1) showed the highest grafting ratio and had improved structural and functional properties compared to the Fenton-grafted method. The FUS1 conjugate also exhibited strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities. A film made from FUS1 showed decreased viscosity, improved barrier properties, and increased water solubility and tensile strength compared to a chitosan film.

Valorization of agri-food waste through the extraction of bioactive molecules. Prediction of their sunscreen action

Blanca Martinez-Inda et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenolic composition of 18 different vegetable residues and explore the relationship between their phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, and sun protection factor. It was found that phenolic acids, especially caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, p-coumaric acid, and protocatechuic acid, were the most frequently identified phenolic compounds in the extracts. Black chai tea, lemon ginger tea, and peanut extracts showed the strongest antioxidant and photoprotective properties. Phenolic compounds were found to contribute to the antioxidant activity and were closely correlated with the photoprotective capacity of the extracts. A regression model based on the total phenol content was developed to predict the photoprotective capacity of any extract, providing a tool for determining the most suitable industrial application for each vegetable extract.

Structural characteristics and gel properties of pectin from citrus physiological premature fruit drop

Tingting Qi et al.

Summary: This study extracted and characterized pectin from citrus physiological premature fruit drop for the first time. The pectin yield was 4.4% using acid hydrolysis. The CPDP was found to be low-methoxylated pectin (LMP) with a DM of 15.27%. CPDP showed a highly branched macromolecular polysaccharide structure with a rich rhamnogalacturonan I domain and long arabinose and galactose side chains. Ca2+ was used to induce the formation of gels with CPDP, which showed higher gel strength and storage modulus compared to commercial citrus pectin.

Amphiphilic chitosan/carboxymethyl gellan gum composite films enriched with mustard essential oil for mango preservation

Ziming Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, an active edible fresh-keeping material was developed using synthesized amphiphilic chitosan and carboxymethyl modified gellan gum. The optimal weight ratio of CMCS-g-CA/CMGG was determined as 5:2. The addition of mustard essential oil improved the water vapor and oxygen permeability of the composite films, and also enhanced the antibacterial properties against E. coli, S. aureus, and Bacillus anthracis. The CMCS-g-CA/CMGG + 2.0 mu L/mL MEO composite film effectively preserved mango fruits during 20 days of storage, making it a promising eco-friendly packaging material for fruit preservation.

A new nanohybrid particle reinforced multifunctional active packaging film for efficiently preserving postharvest fruit

Haishan Xu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a multifunctional active packaging film for fruit preservation by incorporating chitosan-ferulic acid-titanium dioxide nanohybrid particles (CFT NPs) into gelatin (Gel) film. The addition of CFT NPs significantly enhanced the mechanical and barrier properties, UV shielding ability, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial ability of the composite film. Particularly, CFT0.40-Gel film demonstrated excellent preservation ability for strawberries and bananas. This work provides a feasible strategy for designing multifunctional active food packaging.

Gellan gum-based functional films integrated with bacterial cellulose and nano-TiO2/CuO improve the shelf life of fresh-cut pepper

Fei Chen et al.

Summary: Active food packaging materials with barrier, hydrophobic and antioxidant properties are important for maintaining food quality and safety. In this study, LAGG-BC and HAGG-BC composite films were prepared by incorporating bacterial cellulose (BC) into low acyl gellan gum (LAGG) and high acyl gellan gum (HAGG), respectively. The results showed that the mechanical, barrier properties and stability of the composite films were significantly improved after incorporating with BC. LAGG-BC film exhibited higher mechanical, hydrophobicity, barrier properties and stability than HAGG-BC film. The addition of nano-TiO2/CuO further enhanced the UV-barrier, antioxidant activity and flexibility of the films.
