“…Edible biopolymer (pullulan/carrageenan) functional composite films prepared by Roy et al [203], with the addition of copper sulfide nanoparticles and D-limonene, exhibited enhanced tensile strength and UV-blocking function, as well as a degree of antibacterial activity. The new fragrant starch-based films prepared with D-limonene exhibited significantly lower hygroscopicity and water solubility, as well as significantly higher tensile strength and, because of the addition of D-limonene, they exhibited effective antimicrobial activity and a pleasant aromatic odor, thus favoring their use for the preservation of some foods with special odors [204]; Lan et al [205] prepared a composite film made of polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan combined with D-limonene that had good biodegradability and light transmission and the addition of D-limonene (5% w/w) enhanced the barrier capacity and mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan films and improved their antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, which prolonged the shelf life of mangoes at room temperature. In addition, fish-gelatin-chitosan-edible films supplemented with D-limonene exhibited better antimicrobial activity and D-limonene addition effectively improved their ductility, as well as their water vapor and light barrier properties [206].…”

The discovery of antibiotics and pesticides has greatly contributed to the social and economic development of human society but, due to the long-term irrational application, it has led to drug-resistant microorganisms, environmental damage, and other hazards, so the selection of alternative natural, safe, and non-hazardous bioactive substances is an effective solution for this problem. D-limonene is a bioactive compound widely present in various plant essential oils, exhibiting excellent broad-spectrum bioactivity and promising prospects for development and clinical application. This review provides a detailed overview of the biological activities of D-limonene, emphasizing its antimicrobial, anthelmintic, insecticidal, and medicinal potential. While nanoencapsulation technology shows promise in improving the physicochemical properties of D-limonene and enhancing its practical applications, it is also crucial to comprehensively evaluate the potential side effects of D-limonene before use.

“…Films obtained from polysaccharides, glycerol, and citric acid may also have medicinal properties similar to those of starch and carboxymethyl cellulose (Antosik et al 2017;Antosik and Wilpiszewska 2018). Moreover, the incorporation of metals (e.g.…”

In the first stage, seven polysaccharide films were prepared with varying compositions of starch, carboxymethyl starch (CMS), and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), together with glycerol and citric acid. From these samples, the most suitable film for possible future applications in medicine in the form of patches was selected based on tensile strength tests, solubility in water, moisture sorption, swelling, and wetting angle. This film (labelled as “V”) contained (in wt%) CMS (2.5), CMC (2.5), citric acid (3), and glycerol (3). In the second stage, the selected film was used for further applications by individually introducing into it appropriate additives with known antimicrobial activity. These additives consisted of terpene compounds of natural origin (α-pinene, menthol, and eugenol) as well as colloidal silver. These four films were then studied to determine the influence of the appropriate additive on moisture absorption, solubility in water, swelling, and antimicrobial activity. The results of the microbiological tests confirmed the antimicrobial activities, and also the anti-infective and regenerative effect of these films. In general, the films containing terpenes showed comparable or better medicinal properties than the film obtained with colloidal silver. A patch prototype (with a medical net) based on the optimal film (“V”) was developed, and its flexibility is apparent in that it can take the shape and size of the area on the human body that it should cover.

“…They are also used as edible films and coating in regard to their good film forming properties, oxygen permeability (OP) similar to that of plastic films. Then, active packaging based on soy protein, gluten, whey protein but also chitosan, starch, pectins, alginates, and arabic gum have intensively been designed and tested against a wide range of micro-organisms (Pavlath et al, 1999; Ben Arfa et al, 2007b; Ali et al, 2010; Balaguer et al, 2013; Pérez Espitia et al, 2014; Barba et al, 2015; Antosik et al, 2017). However, the major drawback of these films is their higher water vapor permeability (WVP) due to the hydrophilic nature of biopolymers (Gennadios et al, 1994).…”

Active Food Packaging Based on Biopolymers and Aroma Compounds: How to Design and Control the Release

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aroma compounds are known to be efficient active agents for a broad range of applications (antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, insect repellent…) that are highly sought when aiming at extending shelf life of food or biological products. However, they are intrinsically odorant and volatile at ambient temperature, which restricts the processing routes used to introduce them in a polymeric matrix and can affect their mode of action and limit efficiency. Indeed, due to their high sensitivity toward temperature they can be lost or transformed during processing. Acting after being released in the headspace, their concentration has to be controlled to avoid any odorant contamination of the targeted products. Hence, the ability for an aroma compound to be retained in a polymeric matrix, and then released when submitted to a triggering effect, are the two main requirements that should be satisfied. The volatile nature of the aroma compound offer the possibility when introduce in the packaging to act by direct or indirect contact with the product and thus to be used in different ways; as a coating layer directly applied on the product surface, as a self-supported film or as coated paper when associated with a paper sheet, as well as an object that could be inserted in the package. As biopolymers such as proteins and polysaccharides are able to retain aroma compounds but also to favor their release by modification of their structure when the relative humidity (RH) and temperature change, they are relevant carriers of these specific aroma compounds. Examples of how active packaging systems with limonene, eugenol and carvacrol as active agents were designed and elaborated. These examples will be presented with a special focus on the processing conditions and the way to improve their aroma compound retention and the release control (biopolymer nature, cyclodextrin clay addition…). Avrami's equation has been used to model the transfer of aroma compound and to advantageously compare it taking into account the mechanism in relation to the biopolymer structural changes.
