“…This means that the release mechanism in this work was mainly dependent on the ethanol concentration in the EE. This phenomenon was also found in the case of ethanol released from an ethanol gel made of sodium stearate and ethanol studied by Mu et al Table S1 shows the release rate constants ( K ) of all EEs at 25 °C in the range of 0.038–0.0766 h –1 . They were in the order EE-3 < EE-4 < EE-1 < EE-2 < EE-5 < EE-6, which contained ethanol contents as 55.88, 69.85, 83.82, 83.82, 86.67, and 89.52%, respectively.…”

“…In response to this drawback, various encapsulation technologies for prolonging the usage of alcohols have been investigated. Mostly, alcohols, especially ethanol, were trapped in porous silicas , and diatomite/sodium stearate (NaSt) composites . They were generally employed as an ethanol emitter (EE) for shelf-life extension of bakery and fruit products.…”

A nanohybrid ethanol emitter (EE) was developed to reduce the risk of bacterial and virus infection via the surface route. The porous EE structure generated from physical aggregation of ethyl cellulose (EC) and sodium stearate (NaSt) exhibited a high loading capacity of ethanol of up to 73 wt %, controlled-release performance for longer than 11 h, and high mechanical strength (>20 N). After disinfection tests with contaminated substrate surfaces in a closed box at 25 °C for 6 h, EE showed high potential antimicrobial properties against both bacteria and viruses for more than 99.90%. Hence, it can be applied as an effective disinfectant for daily contaminated surfaces frequently touched such as banknotes, coils, key cards, and cloth masks in a closed container system. Moreover, a simple and low-cost process using eco-friendly chemicals for EE preparation offers high potential for large-scale production in the industry.

“…In the latter case, ethanol imbedded films usually require additional layers to provide a sustained release. Recently, Mu et al [44] proposed an ethanol gel, obtained by gelation reaction between ethanol and sodium stearate, adsorbed on diatomite, in order to enhance the release of ethanol emitter. The main disadvantage of ethanol emitters is its absorption on food, which can be reduced to insignificant values by heating or microwaving the product.…”

Innovation in food packaging is mainly represented by the development of active and intelligent packing technologies, which offer to deliver safer and high-quality food products. Active packaging refers to the incorporation of active component into the package with the aim of maintaining or extending the product quality and shelf-life. The intelligent systems are able to monitor the condition of packaged food in order to provide information about the quality of the product during transportation and storage. These packaging technologies can also work synergistically to yield a multipurpose food packaging system. This review is a critical and up-dated analysis of the results reported in the literature about this fascinating and growing field of research. Several aspects are considered and organized going from the definitions and the regulations, to the specific functions and the technological aspects regarding the manufacturing technologies, in order to have a complete overlook on the overall topic.

“…Therefore, controlled release technologies should overcome the disadvantages of conventional ethanol emitters. Mu et al (2017) developed a controlled release ethanol emitter based on an ethanol-gel prepared by ethanol and sodium stearate esterification added with diatomite as adsorbent capable to preserve the quality of fresh Chinese bayberry fruit during refrigerated storage; and anticipated that it could be applied for other perishable fruit because of the appropriate selection of sodium stearate content in agreement with the storage period to reach precise storage goals.…”

Food packaging has a crucial function in the modern food industry. New food packaging technologies seek to meet consumers and industrial's demands. Changes related to food production, sale practices and consumers' lifestyles, along with environmental awareness and the advance in new areas of knowledge (such as nanotechnology or biotechnology), act as driving forces to develop smart packages that can extend food shelf-life, keeping and supervising their innocuousness and quality and also taking care of the environment. This review describes the main concepts and types of active and intelligent food packaging, focusing on recent progress and new trends using biodegradable and biobased polymers. Numerous studies show the great possibilities of these materials. Future research needs to focus on some important aspects such as possibilities to scale-up, costs, regulatory aspects, and consumers' acceptance, to make these systems commercially viable.
