Electrospun nanofiber based on Ethyl cellulose/Soy protein isolated integrated with bitter orange peel extract for antimicrobial and antioxidant active food packaging

Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate antioxidative activities of the encapsulated and unencapsulated bitter orange peel extract on the shelf-life of the common carp fillets during 16 days of refrigerated storage. Common carp fillets were treated with bitter orange peel extract (0.5 and 1% w/w), liposomal encapsulated bitter orange peel extract (0.5 and 1% w/w) and beta-hydroxytoluene (BHT, 100 and 200 ppm); their quality changes in terms of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), free fatty acid (FFA) peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and sensory characteristics were investigated. Results showed that the encapsulated and pure extract and BHT could reduce chemical deterioration and lipid oxidation in the fillets compared to the control, as reflected with lower TVBN, FFA, PV and TBA values. Furthermore, common carp fillets treated with high concentration (1%) of the encapsulated bitter orange peel extract showed the lowest amount of lipid oxidation during the storage period compared with the others without any undesirable changes in sensorial attributes.

Peel Extract

Antibacterial and biodegradable whey protein isolate (WPI-) gelatin nanocomposites were prepared using natural orange peel extract (OPE) in percentage of 7, 14, and 21% (v/v solution) and Cloisite 30B (5% w/w dry whey protein) made by a casting method. Mechanical, physical, and antibacterial properties of prepared films were measured as a function of OPE concentration. Higher concentrations of OPE led to higher antibacterial activity, tensile strength, and water solubility, but lower moisture content and transparency. The films microstructures were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and ATR-FTIR. Overall, the film containing 21%(v/v) OPE resulted in the best antibacterial, mechanical, and physical performance. Addition of tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a crosslinker to this sample led to the significant increase in transparency. Cloisite 30B, OPE, and TPP can therefore be used to improve the properties of WPI films as a promising natural food packaging.
