Preparation of PEC chitosan-alginate films incorporated by eugenol has been investigated. Incorporation of eugenol in chitosan-alginate films was conducted by using the different concentration of eugenol including 0.25% 0.5%, and 1% (% w/v). The effect of eugenol incorporation in chitosan-alginate films was investigated through some properties of the films such as tensile strength, elongation at break, transparency value, and water vapor permeability. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of eugenol incorporation as an active compound of the films was investigated from antioxidant activity of chitosan-alginate films incorporated eugenol. Polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) films of chitosan-alginate was occurred through molecular interaction between polycationic groups of chitosan and polyanionic groups of alginate. The formation of chitosan-alginate PEC films was synthesized at pH ± 4.0. Based on FTIR analysis, the ionic interaction between amine groups (–NH3+) and carboxylate groups (–COO¬) formed strongly. Characterization of films also indicated that PEC films of chitosan-alginate incorporated of eugenol was formed. Study showed that PEC chitosan-alginate films had good mechanical properties. Antioxidant activity assay through  fixed reaction time method  using DPPH radical (α,α-difenil-β- pikrilhidrazil) resulted in good percentage of radical scavenging activity (%RSA) from the films. The E3 films which contain 1% eugenol has 55.99% of  RSA value in 96 hours.

Abstract Baicalin, an active flavonoid ingredient of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, was extracted by heat reflux extraction and showed the same significance UV absorption property with standard baicalin. Active films were prepared from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) containing baicalin extract by casting method. The effect of baicalin extracts on the UV-blocking, optical, antioxidant property, water vapor permeability, swelling and mechanical properties of the films were studied. UV–vis transmittance spectra showed that PVA films incorporated with baicalin extract blocked ultraviolet light range from 280–400 nm even with low concentration of baicalin (0.5 wt%) and maintain the high transparency in visible spectrum. The outstanding UV-blocking properties of PVA films incorporated with baicalin extract were also confirmed by Rhodamine B degradation. Baicalin conferred antioxidant properties to PVA films as determined by DPPH radical scavenging activity. Due to the interaction between hydroxy groups of baicalin and PVA molecule, water vapor permeability, swelling and elongation at break of the films were decreased accompanied with the increasing in tensile strength and Young’s modulus. FTIR reveal that the interaction between PVA molecules was significant changed by the introduction of baicalin. These results suggest that PVA film incorporated with baicalin extract can be used for the development of functional protective film.

Abstract This study focuses on the development and characterization of a novel biodegradable edible film made from soy protein isolate enriched with alginate-glycyrrhizin nanogel(GL-ALG NGP). Nanoparticles of particle sizes below 100 nm were synthesized using glycyrrhizin(GL), calcium chloride and, sodium alginate(SA) through the reverse micro-emulsion/internal gelation method. Soy protein isolate (SPI) based films were prepared by a simple casting procedure by incorporating GL-ALG NGPs in SPI solution in different ratios of (SPI: GL-ALG NGPs) 5:0, 5:1, 2:1, 1:1, and 1:1.5. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer in the film-forming solution. The effects of the proportions of GL-ALG NGPs addition on the thickness, mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, UV barrier performance, antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial property of the obtained films were studied. The GL-ALG NGPs were analyzed using Dynamic Light Scattering. Microstructural studies of obtained films were performed using Scanning Electron microscopy. Results show incorporation of GL-ALG NGPs in soy protein-alginate complex produced smoother, compact, and more continuous matrices as compared to pure SPI films. The test results indicated that blending of SPI with GL-ALG NGPs in the ratio 1:1 increased tensile strength of obtained films by 185%, reduced water solubility to 23.59%, and water vapor permeability to 0.3087 g-mm/m2-d-kPa. Obtained films exhibited good UV barrier performance, antioxidant activity and inhibited the growth of E. coli, S. aureus, Enterobacter sakazakii, and A. niger. So, soy protein isolate-based films enriched with GL-ALG NGPs are active biodegradable edible films that can be used to extend the shelf life of food products.

The objective of this study was to develop an active banana starch film (BSF) incorporated with banana peel extract. We compared the film’s properties with commercial wrap film (polyvinyl chloride; PVC). Moreover, a comparison of the quality of minced pork wrapped during refrigerated storage (7 days at ±4 °C) was also performed. The BSF with different concentrations of banana peel extract (0, 1, 3, and 5 (%, w/v)) showed low mechanical properties (tensile strength (TS): 4.43–31.20 MPa and elongation at break (EAB): 9.66–15.63%) and water vapor permeability (3.74–11.0 × 10−10 g mm/sm2 Pa). The BSF showed low film solubility (26–41%), but excellent barrier properties to UV light. The BSF had a thickness range of 0.030–0.047 mm, and color attributes were: L* = 49.6–51.1, a* = 0.21–0.43, b* = 1.26–1.49. The BSF incorporated with banana peel extracts 5 (%, w/v) showed the highest radical scavenging activity (97.9%) and inhibitory activity of E. coli O157: H7. The BSF showed some properties comparable to the commercial PVC wrap film. Changes in qualities of minced pork were determined for 7 days during storage at ±4 °C. It was found that thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) of the sample wrapped with the BSF decreased compared to that wrapped with the PVC. The successful inhibition of lipid oxidation in the minced pork was possible with the BSF. The BSF incorporated with banana peel extract could maintain the quality of minced pork in terms of oxidation retardation.

Abstract The functional peptides from protein hydrolysates of various fishery sources have been identified such as antioxidant activity. The main intention of this study was purification and characterization of antioxidative peptide from black eelpout muscle. The antioxidative peptides were purified from black eelpout (Lycodes diapterus) muscle using different proteases. Antioxidant activity of black eelpout hydrolysates was evaluated using DPPH radical scavenging activity. Among six hydrolysates, the pepsin hydrolysate had the highest antioxidant activity compared to the other hydrolysates. Therefore, it was further purified and a peptide with seven amino acid residues of DLVKVEA (784 Da) was identified by amino acid sequence analysis. The EC50 value for scavenging DPPH radicals by purified peptide was 688.77 μM. Additionally, the purified peptide exhibited protective effect against DNA damage induces by oxidation in mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells). The results of this study suggest that black eelpout muscle protein hydrolysate could potentially contribute to development of bioactive peptides in basic research.

AbstractNowadays, researchers have attracted to substitute petroleum-based materials by biopolymers due to limitation of petroleum resources and environmental concerns. Nano-fillers were used to reduce some drawbacks of biopolymers as packaging materials. Nanocomposite films composed of 5 % (wt% dry base) whey protein concentrate (WPC), 30 % glycerol, (1 %, 3 %, and 5 %) nano-SiO2(NS). The films were prepared by solution casting method. Tensile strength of WPC/NS nanocomposites increased around 50 % compared to WPC by increasing NS content up to 3 %. While elongation at break (EB) decreased around 20 % compared to WPC, simultaneously. But at high NS content (5 %), EB decreased to 17.93 %. Sensibility of WPC/NS nanocomposites film to water and water vapor permeability was decreased with increasing NS content up to 3 %. NS content was an effective factor on the color properties of the films. SEM micrographs revealed uniform distribution of NS into polymer matrix at low NS content. Consequently, crystallinity and thermal properties of the film were improved by adding NS content as compared to WPC film. It seems NS can improve some drawbacks of WPC such as mechanical weakness, hydrophilic properties as a packaging material and allowing the development of biodegradable bionanocomposite.

Chitosan/peptide films were prepared by incorporating peptides (0.4%, w/v) from soy, corn and caseins into chitosan films. The presence of peptides significantly affected the physical, antibacterial and antioxidative properties of chitosan films. Among these films, those containing corn peptide showed the best water vapor barrier properties, and the tensile strength and elongation at break increased to 24.80 Mpa and 23.94%, respectively. Characterization of surface hydrophobicity and thermal stability suggested the strongest intermolecular interactions between corn peptides and chitosan. Moreover, films containing casein peptides showed the highest antibacterial activity and radical scavenging activity. The DPPH scavenging rate of films containing casein peptides reached 46.11%, and ABTS scavenging rate reached 66.79%. These results indicate the chitosan/peptide films may be promising food packaging materials.

A green biocomposite of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB) and cellulose aerogels was developed. Cellulose gel was prepared from NaOH/urea aqueous solution, and subsequent regenerating by Na2SO4 solution and freeze-drying resulted in porous cellulose aerogels. The P34HB/cellulose aerogel biocomposite was fabricated by immersion of porous cellulose in a polymer solution and hot-pressing. The morphology, crystallization, thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties (H2O) of biocomposite were investigated. The cellulose aerogels matrix exhibited a three-dimensional network structure with porosity and a wide pore size distribution, contributing to the change of the glass transition temperature and cold crystallization temperature of biocomposites. Compared with cellulose aerogels, the tensile strength and elongation at break of biocomposites were increased by as much as 48% and 25.1%, respectively. Moreover, biocomposites demonstrated an increased contact angle and water vapor permeability coefficient compared with the cellulose aerogel. The results revealed the potential of P34HB/cellulose aerogel biocomposites for practical application as packaging materials.
