Button Mushrooms

As the market demand for button mushrooms is constantly growing, it is important to extend their shelf-life. Active packaging with built-in active components offers the possibility of extending the shelf life of products which are sensitive to external factors. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to check the effect of active packaging with zeolite (clinoptilolite) and aҫai extract on the bioactive compounds content, antioxidant activity, volatile compound profile, and physical quality of mushrooms subjected to storage for 28 days at 4 °C. Packing mushrooms in active packages improved their chemical characteristics by increasing antioxidant activity (p ≤ 0.001) in comparison to the conventional packaging methods. Moreover, it slowed down water loss and the browning process both on the surface and inside the mushroom. Furthermore, the results showed a strong correlation (p ≤ 0.001) between antioxidant activity, bioactive compounds content and color parameters. The obtained results suggest that the addition of the aҫai extract and zeolite into packaging material protects mushrooms from deterioration for a longer period of time. The use of active packaging to extend product shelf life can contribute to the reduction of the use of food preservatives, but also protects the environment by reducing the volume of waste.

Packaging is one of the most important processes to preserve the quality of food. Edible polymer is an effective alternative to synthetic polymers. Active packaging is incorporating antimicrobials and/or antioxidants in packaging material. Application of these technologies can improve safety of foods. In this study active edible film was formulated and standardised with concentration of 2.25% of sodium alginate, 1% glycerol, 2% CaCl2. Meat was chosen as it is a widely used perishable food. Garlic, atibala and betel leaf were chosen as the sources of active compounds. Betel leaf extract infused films were found to be more acceptable over garlic and atibala infused films. Edible Films (EF) with varying concentrations of betel leaf extract was formulated namely EFS, EF10, EF20, EF30 and EF40. The impact of the extract infused films was studied for its physical and physico-chemical properties, sensory attributes, nutrient content and shelf life extension ability. Varying concentrations of betel leaf extract didn't influence the thickness of the film whereas the film with P.betel leaf extract showed higher grammature values than that of the film without antioxidants. There was a gradual increase in solubility and antioxidant activity as the concentration of P.betel leaf extract increased. The antioxidant activity of EF10, EF20, EF30 and EF40 are 37.12%, 38.48%, 42.37% and 42.89% respectively. Sensory evaluation indicated that EF20 and EF10 had good overall acceptability. Nutrient quality of EF40 was highest followed by the other three formulations EF30, EF20 and EF10 in decreasing fashion. EF20 had acceptable sensory attributes and also possessed better nutrient content with carotene 1.67 mg, iron 4.23 mg and calcium 0.29 g. The seven days total plate count study of meat packed with EF20 revealed higher bacterial count of 5.88±0.087 log CFU g-1 in control than the EF20 i.e., 3.32±0.081 log CFU g-1. The study concludes that the usage of plant based antioxidants and antimicrobials can be effective alternative replacing chemicals used as food packaging material for increasing the shelf life of a food product

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on antioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds, physicochemical characteristics, color, pectin methylesterase activity, and microbiological count were evaluated during the shelf life of Pêra-Rio orange juice. Pressurized (520 MPa, 60 ℃, for 360 s), non-processed and pasteurized (95 ℃/30 s) orange juice were compared at zero time of storage. Pressurized and pasteurized juices were studied during a refrigerated 90-day shelf life. Pressurization did not cause expressive change in physicochemical characteristics of Pêra-Rio orange juice along shelf life, but significantly reduced pectin methylesterase residual activity to 13% and microbiological counts below detection levels up to 68 days of storage, with small counts (30.0 × 10 CFU/mL mesophilic aerobic bacteria and 20.7 × 10 CFU/mL yeast and mold) at 90 days, capable of ensuring the juice’s stability along shelf life. Lightness ( L*) and b* values were significantly reduced by high hydrostatic pressure during shelf life, while a* values were significantly higher. Ascorbic acid decreased around 80% during shelf life. Antioxidant activity remained stable after processing and during storage.

Kemasan aktif memiliki fungsi yang lebih luas dalam menjaga kualitas suatu produk. Salah satu bahan baku kemasan aktif adalah gelatin dengan penambahan senyawa aktif. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mempelajari karakteristik dan bioaktivitas kemasan aktif dari gelatin ikan ayam-ayam (Abalistes stellaris) dengan penambahan ekstrak daun jeruju (Acanthus ilicifolius) sebesar 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% dan 7%. Kemasan aktif yang dihasilkan diamati karakteristik dan bioaktifitasnya yang meliputi ketebalan, kuat tarik, elongasi, transmisi uap air, kadar air, pH, aktivitas antioksidan dan aktivitas antibakteri. Hasil analisa sidik ragam menunjukkan penambahan ekstrak daun jeruju berpengaruh nyata (p<0,05) terhadap ketebalan, aktivitas antioksidan dan aktivitas antibakteri dari kemasan aktif berbahan gelatin yang dihasilkan, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata (p>0,05) terhadap kuat tarik, elongasi dan transmisi uap air. Kemasan aktif dari gelatin ikan ayam-ayam dengan penambahan ekstrak daun jeruju 7% memiliki ketebalan 143,01 µm, mampu menghambat 65,45% radikal bebas DPPH dan menghasilkan zona hambat bakteri berkisar antara 2,18-2,61 mm. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan gelatin yang terbuat dari kulit dan sisik ikan ayam-ayam dengan penambahan ekstrak daun jeruju memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan menjadi kemasan aktif.  AbstractPackaging has an important function in maintaining the quality of product.

The Impact

Active packaging has gained interest in recent years. As well as protecting food from the environment, it can incorporate agents with specific properties to extend the shelf life of the food. As a requirement, it is essential that the active agent has a greater affinity for the food than for the packaging material and, in this sense, essential oils (EOs) are potential candidates to be included in this new packaging system. The use of EOs can add to food matrix antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, reduce the permeability of the packaging to water vapor and extend the shelf life of food products. However, their use has been limited because they can produce a strong flavor by interacting with other compounds present in the food matrix and modify the organoleptic characteristics. Although the nanoencapsulation of EOs can provide chemical stability and minimize the impact of the Eos on the organoleptic properties by decreasing their volatilization, some physical modifications have still been observed, such as plasticizing effects and color variations. In this sense, the quality of the food products and consumer safety can be increased by using sensors. This technology indicates when food products are degrading and informs us if specific packaging conditions have changed. This work focuses on highlighting the use of biosensors as a new methodology to detect undesirable changes in the food matrix in a short period of time and the use of nanotechnology to include EOs in active films of natural origin.

By Products

Recently, the interest in recovery bioactive compounds from food industrial by-products is growing abundantly. Olive oil by-products are a source of valuable bioactive compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. One of the most interesting by-products of olive oil obtained by a two-phase decanter is the olive paste, a wet homogeneous pulp free from residuals of the kernel. To valorize the olive paste, ready-to-cook cod sticks breaded with dried olive oil by-products were developed. Shelf-life tests were carried out on breaded cod sticks and during 15 days of storage at 4 °C pH evolution, microbiological aspects, and sensory properties were also monitored. In addition, the chemical quality of both control and active samples was assessed in terms of total phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity. The enrichment with olive paste increased the total phenols, the flavonoids, and the antioxidant activity of the breaded fish samples compared to the control. Furthermore, the bioactive compounds acted as antimicrobial agents, without compromising the sensory parameters. Therefore, the new products recorded a longer shelf life (12 days) than the control fish sample that remained acceptable for nine days.
