In this study, physical properties and antimicrobial activity of soy protein isolate edible films incorporated with essential oil monomers were tested. Adding amount of essential oil monomers could significantly change the physical properties of the films. Water-solubility of soy protein isolate edible films could be significantly reduced when adding essential oil monomers. With the essential oil monomers’ content increasing, the water vapor permeability increased at the beginning and then decreased. Tensile strength reduced with cinnamicaldehyde and eugenol content increasing, but the tensile strength of cinnamaldehyde-eugenol (1:1) compound films reduced at first and then increased. The breaking elongation of cinnamaldehyde-eugenol (1:1) compound edible films was the highest. Using cinnamaldehyde, eugenol and cinnamaldehyde-eugenol (1:1) compound as the antibacterial agent respectively, antibacterial activities of soy protein isolate edible films incorporated with1, 2, 3, 4, 5and6% essential oil monomer were evaluated against Escherichia coli, we found that antibacterial activities of soy protein isolate edible films incorporated with essential oil monomers were significant, film containing cinnamaldehyde was the most effective.

In this study, physical properties of chitosan edible films incorporated with essential oil monomers were tested. Emulsifying nature of chitosan could be combined essential oil monomer forming emulsions, hence homogeneous, thin and pale yellow membranes were achieved. With different of the essential oil monomer content, the nature of the films had undergone a drastic change. Water-solubility and water vapor permeability of chitosan edible films reduced when essential oil monomers concentration increased. All the mechanical properties(tensile strength and elongation) increased when essential oil monomers concentration gradual increased. Compared with single chitosan films, essential oil-chitosan films have been greatly enhanced their mechanical properties and antibacterial activities.

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.

Soy protein isolate (SPI)-essential oil monomers edible composite films were prepared by casting and solvent evaporation method. Films antibacterial activity and preservation effect on chilled pork were investigated. The results indicated that composite films showed significant inhibitory effect on the growth ofEscherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonasandyeast. And the antimicrobial activity of films containing cinnamaldehyde was the highest. The films containing 6% essential oil monomers had better preservation effect on the meat samples compared with those without package or packed with single SPI edible films.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of pH(7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0) on the properties of soy protein isolate (SPI)/guar gum (GG)composite films casted with 0.2 %(w/v)guar gum polysaccharide, 5.0 %(w/v)SPI, 1.5 %(w/v)glycerol plasticizer, and 4:1(v/v) mixture of distilled water and anhydrous alcohol. Composite membranes from different pH conditions were evaluated from following aspects: tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (EB), water vapor permeability (WVP), water solubility (WS) and surface hydrophobicity(SH)

The possibility of using oilseed flours as a waste source for film-forming materials with a combination of soy protein isolate in preparation of edible films was evaluated. Physical, mechanical and barrier properties were determined as a function of the oilseed type: hemp, evening primrose, flax, pumpkin, sesame and sunflower. It was observed that the addition of oilseed flours increased the refraction and thus the opacity of the obtained films from 1.27 to 9.57 A mm−1. Depending on the type of flours used, the edible films took on various colors. Lightness (L*) was lowest for the evening primrose film (L* = 34.91) and highest for the soy protein film (L* = 91.84). Parameter a* was lowest for the sunflower film (a* = −5.13) and highest for the flax film (a* = 13.62). Edible films made of pumpkin seed flour had the highest value of the b* color parameter (b* = 34.40), while films made of evening primrose flour had the lowest value (b* = 1.35). All analyzed films had relatively low mechanical resistance, with tensile strength from 0.60 to 3.09 MPa. Films made of flour containing the highest amount of protein, pumpkin and sesame, had the highest water vapor permeability, 2.41 and 2.70 × 10−9 g·m−1 s−1 Pa−1, respectively. All the edible films obtained had high water swelling values from 131.10 to 362.16%, and the microstructure of the films changed after adding the flour, from homogeneous and smooth to rough. All blended soy protein isolate–oilseed flour films showed lower thermal stability which was better observed at the first and second stages of thermogravimetric analysis when degradation occurred at lower temperatures. The oilseed flours blended with soy protein isolate show the possibility of using them in the development of biodegradable films which can find practical application in the food industry.

Composite materials based on proteins and carbohydrates normally offer improved water solubility, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, which make them attractive for a wide range of applications. Soy protein isolate (SPI) has shown superabsorbent properties that are useful in fields such as agriculture. Alginate salts (ALG) are linear anionic polysaccharides obtained at a low cost from brown algae, displaying a good enough biocompatibility to be considered for medical applications. As alginates are quite hydrophilic, the exchange of ions from guluronic acid present in its molecular structure with divalent cations, particularly Ca2+, may induce its gelation, which would inhibit its solubilization in water. Both biopolymers SPI and ALG were used to produce composites through injection moulding using glycerol (Gly) as a plasticizer. Different biopolymer/plasticizer ratios were employed, and the SPI/ALG ratio within the biopolymer fraction was also varied. Furthermore, composites were immersed in different CaCl2 solutions to inhibit the amount of soluble matter loss and to enhance the mechanical properties of the resulting porous matrices. The main goal of the present work was the development and characterization of green porous matrices with inhibited solubility thanks to the gelation of alginate.
