Chitosan-based multifunctional coating combined with sulfur quantum dots to prevent Listeria contamination of enoki mushrooms

Anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant activity of elemental sulfur‐derived sustainable sulfur quantum dots

“…At 100 μg/mL, the DPPH free radical scavenging activities of ED‐SQDs and ascorbic acid were 66.2% and 100%, respectively. The different antioxidant activity of ED‐SQDs can be attributed to the difference in the interaction of hydrophilic SQDs with polar ABTS aqueous solution and non‐polar methanol DPPH solution 22,27 . This antioxidant activity trend of ED‐SQDs is consistent with previous studies 6,7 …”

“…The different antioxidant activity of ED-SQDs can be attributed to the difference in the interaction of hydrophilic SQDs with polar ABTS aqueous solution and non-polar methanol DPPH solution. 22,27 This antioxidant activity trend of ED-SQDs is consistent with previous studies. 6,7 Overall, the results indicate that ED-SQDs have potent antioxidant activity, especially in an aqueous environment, making them a promising candidate for scavenging oxidative free radicals in the intracellular aqueous environment of living cells.…”

Carboxymethylcellulose/Agar-Based Multifunctional Films Incorporated with Zn-Doped SnO2 Nanoparticles for Active Food Packaging Application

“…On the contrary, the WVP of the film, which indicates the degree of hydrophilicity of the film surface, decreased somewhat with a statistically insignificant difference ( p > 0.05) when SnO 2 nanoparticles were added but decreased with a statistically significant difference ( p < 0.05) when Zn-SnO 2 nanoparticles were added. The decreased WVP of the nanocomposite films is due to the hydrophilic nature of the nanoparticles. , …”

“…The decreased WVP of the nanocomposite films is due to the hydrophilic nature of the nanoparticles. 9,56 3.6. Antibacterial Activity of the Films.…”

“…The unique functional features of bionanocomposites have increased interest in studying these materials. Various nanomaterials such as carbon materials, sulfur materials, metal nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, metal–organic frameworks, and nanocomposites have been used to derive the targeted properties for food packaging applications. However, presenting a new approach always helps open up new possibilities, and a thorough examination of all possible directions allows many research groups and the food industry to contribute to the society.…”
