“…Limonene, belonging to the GRAS material, is also used in many applications such as flavorings, food preservatives, etc. [ 23 , 24 ]. Recently, some functional films reinforced with CuSNP have been reported [ 15 , 16 , 25 ], and there have been several reports of functional films with added limonene [ 22 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Edible biopolymer (pullulan/carrageenan) based functional composite films were fabricated by the addition of copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuSNP) and D-limonene (DL). The DL and CuSNP were compatible with the pullulan/carrageenan biopolymer matrix. The addition of CuSNP significantly increased the UV-blocking properties without substantially reducing the transparency of the film. The addition of CuSNP improved the film’s tensile strength by 10%; however, the DL addition did not significantly influence the strength, while the combined addition of CuSNP and DL increased the strength by 15%. The addition of the fillers did not significantly affect the thermal stability of the film, but the water vapor barrier property was slightly improved. There was no significant change in the moisture content and hydrophobicity of the composite film. Besides, the composite film showed some antimicrobial activity against food-borne pathogenic bacteria. The fabricated pullulan/carrageenan-based film with antimicrobial and UV-barrier properties is likely to be used in active food packaging applications.

The guava (Psidium guajava L.), is a nutritious fruit which is of climacteric nature and highly perishable. This fruit is grown in Santander and Boyacá and 90% of its use is in the agro-based industry. Post-harvest losses of this fruit have a great impact on the economy of the region. In order to prolong the shelf life of the fruit, a post-harvest treatment based on the encapsulation of 3 mM Citral in liposomal nanocontainers composed of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid and Lecithin was devised. The characterization of the nanocontainers encapsulating Citral was performed by fluorescence and DLS spectroscopy. The treatment's effectiveness in the fruits was evaluated for 15 days using the following parameters: weight loss, color, total soluble solids, acidity, ripening index, and Vitamin C concentration. The results show a better appearance in the treated fruits with respect to untreated fruits (Blank) for up to 12 days of storage.

“…Microorganismos Gram-negativos, como E. coli, poseen una membrana externa rica en lipopolisacáridos que es casi impermeable a componentes lipofílicos, previniendo entonces que varios componentes antimicrobianos del aceite esencial la penetren. Las enzimas hidrolíticas presentes en su espacio periplásmico pueden también ayudar en la hidrolización de sustancias antimicrobianas 15,32 . Por otro lado, las bacterias Grampositiva no tienen esta barrera, pudiendo los componentes hidrofóbicos del aceite esencial contactar directamente con la bicapa fosfolípida de la membrana bacteriana y causar el aumento de permeabilidad iónica y fugas de constituyentes intracelulares.…”
