“…Drevinskas et al investigated the influence of chitosan molecular weight on quality parameters of three different cultivars of kiwifruit. They demonstrated that coatings made from high molecular weight chitosan were efficient in prolonging the shelf life of Sentiabrskaya and Anykšta kiwifruit, whereas coatings made from low molecular weight chitosan were efficient for VIR kiwifruit [210].…”

The use of polysaccharide-based materials presents an eco-friendly technological solution, by reducing dependence on fossil resources while reducing a product's carbon footprint, when compared to conventional plastic packaging materials. This review discusses the potential of polysaccharides as a raw material to produce multifunctional materials for food packaging applications. The covered areas include the recent innovations and properties of the polysaccharide-based materials. Emphasis is given to hemicelluloses, marine polysaccharides, and bacterial exopolysaccharides and their potential application in the latest trends of food packaging materials, including edible coatings, intelligent films, and thermo-insulated aerogel packaging.

“…[41]) extends the commercial life of red kiwifruit (Actinidia melanandra) and of fruits of Actinidia kolomikta (Maxim. ), two species of the genus Actinidia with valuable properties in terms of content of biologically active substances and areal of cultivation but currently hardly commercialized due to their very short (less than two days) shelf life [40,41]. CHT nanoparticles loaded with a solution of the natural essential oil sanitizing carvacrol (1% CHT, origin and characteristics not further specified, added by slice immersion for 4 min) reduce the microbial growth in fresh sliced carrots (Daucus carota L.) during storage, avoiding the carvacrol-related off-flavors [42].…”

Abstract:In recent years, the search for biological methods to avoid the application of chemical products in agriculture has led to investigating the use of biopolymers-based materials. Among the tested biomaterials, the best results were obtained from those based on the biopolymer chitosan (CHT). CHT, available in large quantities from the deacetylation of chitin, has multiple advantages: it is safe, inexpensive and can be easily associated with other compounds to achieve better performance. In this review, we have summarized the latest researches of the application of CHT on plant productivity, plant protection against the attack of pathogens and extension of the commercial life of detached fruits.

Portable and autonomous analytical instrumentation is becoming more important. Portable instrumentation can be designed via the miniaturization approach and this is a challenging task due to: (i) the limited battery power supply, (ii) a low number of mechanical and moving parts allowed in the design and (iii) susceptibility to changing environment and temperature fluctuations. In this work we describe the design of a light emitting diode (LED) based 3D printed miniaturized colorimeter (dimensions: 5 cm × 4 cm × 4.5 cm (length, width, height), weight less than 56 g). The colorimeter was optimized for determination of the total phenolic compound content, the total flavonoid content and radical scavenging activity. The designed instrument provides comparable results to those of a conventional desktop spectrophotometer existing on the market. The designed LED based miniaturized colorimeter has wireless communication capability. This work demonstrates that this instrument can be applied investigating real samples.
