“…For instance, heat treatment processes that are performed at elevated temperatures can adversely affect the quality of raw food materials [ 306 ]. Rinsing and washing food materials leaves trichothecenes and their byproducts in solution, which may cause secondary contamination [ 307 ]. On the other hand, the use of chemicals such as acids, bases, aldehydes, and oxidizing agents for the decontamination of toxins can alter their structures, and result in the formation of degradation products with toxic chemical residues in foodstuffs and feed, thereby raising deleterious side effects and further public health issues [ 182 , 278 ].…”

Type B trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol) and deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside (DON-3G) are secondary toxic metabolites produced mainly by mycotoxigenic Fusarium fungi and have been recognized as natural contaminants in cereals and cereal-based foods. The latest studies have proven the various negative effects of type B trichothecenes on human health. Due to the widespread occurrence of Fusarium species, contamination by these mycotoxins has become an important aspect for public health and agro-food systems worldwide. Hence, their monitoring and surveillance in various foods have received a significant deal of attention in recent years. In this review, an up-to-date overview of the occurrence profile of major type B trichothecenes and DON-3G in cereal grains and their toxicological implications are outlined. Furthermore, current trends in analytical methodologies for their determination are overviewed. This review also covers the factors affecting the production of these mycotoxins, as well as the management strategies currently employed to mitigate their contamination in foods. Information presented in this review provides good insight into the progress that has been achieved in the last years for monitoring type B trichothecenes and DON-3G, and also would help the researchers in their further investigations on metabolic pathway analysis and toxicological studies of these Fusarium mycotoxins.

“…[10][11][12][13] Moreover, chitosan is a polysaccharide characterized by potential antimicrobial activity, is edible, and non-water-soluble. [14][15][16][17][18] In addition, chitosan has film formation properties with good performance. Unfortunately, chitosan has poor mechanical properties in the coating or packaging film.…”

Green Chitosan‐Flaxseed Gum Film Loaded with ZnO for Packaging Applications

The possibility of manufacturing edible packaging materials with tailored properties and low cost has attracted much interest. This work presents a new material for edible packaging made from flaxseed gum (FSG) and chitosan (Ch) loaded with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). ZnO-NPs are synthesized in situ during the preparation of the edible film. The Ch/FSG/ZnO-NPs films are prepared by casting Ch in different ratios of FSG (12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, and 50%). The resulting films are evaluated for their physicochemical, mechanical, and barrier properties to determine their suitability for coating or packaging food or bioproducts. By studying the antimicrobial activities of the ZnO-NPs loaded films, we can see that ZnO-NP's concentration highly affects these activities. In addition, the FSG improves mechanical properties. Films developed by incorporating ZnO-NPs are proposed to be appropriate for low-moisture food and pharmaceutical products, which can reduce environmental problems associated with synthetic packaging. Consequently, Ch/FSG composite films have the potential to replace conventional packaging.

“…Hence, the disposed synthetic wastes accumulated largely in the environment (Al Sharabati et al, 2021). There are nearly 700 pollutants causing water contamination, therefore finding a suitable solution for all the contaminants is a critical dilemma worldwide (Elella et al, 2022). For sustainable development with a healthy population, it is necessary to control environmental pollution.…”

Soil and water pollution is of significant concern worldwide because of the consequences of environmental degradation and harmful effects on human health. Water bodies are very much polluted from various organic and inorganic pollutants by different human activities, including industrial wastes. Environmental pollution remains high because of urbanization‐induced industrial developments and human lifestyle. It accumulates pollutants in the environment including plants and living organisms. Even mothers’ milk is poisoned because of the uncontrolled, widespread increase in pollution. The discharge levels of organic hydrophobic contaminants in the water and soil are increasing rapidly. This severe pollution must be remediated to upgrade the environment and ensure the safety of human beings. It is vital to eradicate soil and water pollution to guarantee sufficient food and water. Different techniques available to remove the pollutants vary according to the type of pollutants. Hydrophobic contaminants are more dangerous than heavy metals and other pollutants; they cannot be easily removed, requiring special care. Hydrophobic organoxenobiotics released in the environment pose severe contamination in soil and water. Therefore, developing efficient and cost‐effective processes is necessary to remove hydrophobic contaminants from soil and water. With nanoparticle‐mediated remediation techniques, the green‐synthesized nanoparticles exhibit improved performance. This review consolidates reports on the remediation techniques of hydrophobic contaminants, focusing on green‐synthesized remediation agents. The very limited works on green synthesis of polymeric nanoparticles, particularly polyurethane‐based materials for organic contaminants removal demands more attention on this area.
