“…There are several different concepts of active packaging; moisture absorbers, oxygen and ethylene scavengers, carbon dioxide emitters, as well as systems for actively releasing antimicrobial or antioxidant compounds. In antimicrobial active packaging, the active compounds can be directly incorporated into the polymer matrix, coated onto the packaging surface, or immobilized in sachets [13,14].…”

Essential oils and their active components have been extensively reported in the literature for their efficient antimicrobial, antioxidant and antifungal properties. However, the sensitivity of these volatile compounds towards heat, oxygen and light limits their usage in real food packaging applications. The encapsulation of these compounds into inorganic nanocarriers, such as nanoclays, has been shown to prolong the release and protect the compounds from harsh processing conditions. Nevertheless, these systems have limited shelf stability, and the release is of limited control. Thus, this study presents a mesoporous silica nanocarrier with a high surface area and well-ordered protective pore structure for loading large amounts of natural active compounds (up to 500 mg/g). The presented loaded nanocarriers are shelf-stable with a very slow initial release which levels out at 50% retention of the encapsulated compounds after 2 months. By the addition of simulated drip-loss from chicken, the release of the compounds is activated and gives an antimicrobial effect, which is demonstrated on the foodborne spoilage bacteria Brochothrix thermosphacta and the potentially pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli. When the release of the active compounds is activated, a ≥ 4-log reduction in the growth of B. thermosphacta and a 2-log reduction of E. coli is obtained, after only one hour of incubation. During the same one-hour incubation period the dry nanocarriers gave a negligible inhibitory effect. By using the proposed nanocarrier system, which is activated by the food product itself, increased availability of the natural antimicrobial compounds is expected, with a subsequent controlled antimicrobial effect.

“…In the study by Saravanakumar et al [ 37 ], they evaluated the DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity with four produced combination films with cellulose, sodium alginate (SA), and CuO nanoparticles with various concentrations. The CNW (0.5%)-SA (3%)-CuONPs (5 mM) film showed the highest DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity with 46.55% and 35.46% compared to other films, respectively.…”

“…Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized by multiple unique methods and properties, which help their exploitation in independent fields, such as nanodiagnostics [15,16], nanomedicine [17][18][19], antibacterial [19][20][21], antioxidant [19,20,22,23], luminescence [24,25], photocatalytic [24,26], painting, ceramic, glass production, and food packaging industry [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Nanoparticles such as titanium, silver, zinc, and copper have been applied worldwide to form nanocomposite packaging materials with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities [7,[35][36][37].…”

Background. Food nanopackaging helps maintain food quality against physical, chemical, and storage instability factors. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) can improve biopolymers’ mechanical features and barrier properties. This will lead to antimicrobial and antioxidant activities in food packaging to extend the shelf life. Scope and Approach. Edible coatings based on carbohydrate biopolymers have improved the quality of packaging. Several studies have addressed the role of carbohydrate biopolymers and incorporated nanoparticles to enhance food packets’ quality as active nanopackaging. Combined with nanoparticles, these biopolymers create film coatings with an excellent barrier property against transmissions of gases such as O2 and CO2. Key Findings and Conclusions. This review describes the CuO-biopolymer composites, including chitosan, agar, cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, cellulose nanowhiskers, carrageenan, alginate, starch, and polylactic acid, as food packaging films. Here, we reviewed different fabrication techniques of CuO biocomposites and the impact of CuONPs on the physical, mechanical, barrier, thermal stability, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of carbohydrate-based films.

“…If the harmful substances return to the food chain, it will have a long-term negative impact on human beings [ 3 , 4 ]. In the current environment of green and low-carbon living, the development of nonbiodegradable plastic products has created limitations, and the resulting waste of resources and environmental pollution is contrary to the concept of sustainable development [ 5 ]. In order to meet the development of the times, the use of renewable resources instead of non-renewable resources has become a hot spot for research.…”

The shortage of oil resources is currently a global problem. The use of renewable resources instead of non-renewable ones has become a hot topic of research in the eyes of scientists. In the food industry, there is a lot of interest in bio-based smart active packaging that meets the concept of sustainability and ensures safety. The packaging has antibacterial and antioxidant properties that extend the shelf life of food. Its ability to monitor the freshness of food in real time is also beneficial to consumers’ judgement of food safety. This paper summarises the main raw materials for the preparation of bio-based smart active packaging, including proteins, polysaccharides and composite materials. The current status of the preparation method of bio-based smart active packaging and its application in food preservation is summarised. The future development trend in the field of food packaging is foreseen, so as to provide a reference for the improvement of bio-based smart active packaging materials.
