“…Active compounds can be obtained directly from plenty of natural sources, such as propolis, mint, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, boldo-do-chile, guarana, murta, grape, and pomegranate, to mention just a few of them. Such biologically active compounds can be extracted by means of organic solvents extractions (e.g., water, ethanol, and methanol) [ 118 ], membrane processes [ 119 ], among other emerging extraction technologies (e.g., high-voltage electrical discharges, microwave-assisted extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, and pulsed ohmic heating) [ 120 ]. Once the active compounds have been successfully extracted, their importance relies on their potential antioxidant activity together with inhibitory effect against bacteria and fungi [ 121 ], especially phenolic compounds (e.g., catechin, rutin, kaempferol, and chlorogenic, caffeic, and ferulic acids) [ 122 ].…”

Some of the current challenges faced by the food industry deal with the natural ripening process and the short shelf-life of fresh and minimally processed products. The loss of vitamins and minerals, lipid oxidation, enzymatic browning, and growth of microorganisms have been the main issues for many years within the innovation and improvement of food packaging, which seeks to preserve and protect the product until its consumption. Most of the conventional packaging are petroleum-derived plastics, which after product consumption becomes a major concern due to environmental damage provoked by their difficult degradation. In this sense, many researchers have shown interest in edible films and coatings, which represent an environmentally friendly alternative for food packaging. To date, chitosan (CS) is among the most common materials in the formulation of these biodegradable packaging together with polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids. The good film-forming and biological properties (i.e., antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral) of CS have fostered its usage in food packaging. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to collect and discuss the latest development works (over the last five years) aimed at using CS in the manufacture of edible films and coatings for food preservation. Particular attention has been devoted to relevant findings in the field, together with the novel preparation protocols of such biodegradable packaging. Finally, recent trends in new concepts of composite films and coatings are also addressed.

“…Different conventional and novel technologies have been applied for SvGls extraction including maceration and heat extraction, high temperature and high pressure, electrical voltage, radiation, ultrasound and chromatographic techniques. They have been reviewed in Bursać Kovačević et al (2018), Castro-Muñoz et al (2020 and Wang et al (2020). The extraction yields achieved using these technologies are relatively low varying between 2 and 35%, depending on the solvent and technique used (Castro-Muñoz et al 2020).…”

“…These low percentages and large amounts of solvents that have to be removed further downstream in the purification process make it difficult to apply these technologies in large-scale production. Currently, membrane-based technologies are indicated as the most promising tool for SvGls extraction (Castro-Muñoz et al 2020 ). These techniques are still being developed, and they include microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration.…”

“…A typical pressure-driven membrane process uses a semipermeable membrane that acts as a selective barrier for the transport of compounds contained in a solution. The advantages of membrane processes include low energy consumption, less extraction time, high separation efficiency, flexibility, high productivity and ease of scaling-up (Castro-Muñoz et al 2020 ). Moreover, membrane processes are environmentally friendly since not a lot of chemical solvents are required for efficient extraction.…”

Steviol glycosides (SvGls) are plant secondary metabolites belonging to a class of chemical compounds known as diterpenes. SvGls have been discovered only in a few plant species, including in the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. Over the last few decades, SvGls have been extensively researched for their extraordinary sweetness. As a result, the nutritional and pharmacological benefits of these secondary metabolites have grown increasingly apparent. In the near future, SvGls may become a basic, low-calorie, and potent sweetener in the growing natural foods market, and a natural anti-diabetic remedy, a highly competitive alternative to commercially available synthetic drugs. Commercial cultivation of stevia plants and the technologies of SvGls extraction and purification from plant material have already been introduced in many countries. However, new conventional and biotechnological solutions are still being sought to increase the level of SvGls in plants. Since many aspects related to the biochemistry and metabolism of SvGls in vivo, as well as their relationship to the overall physiology of S. rebaudiana are not yet understood, there is also a great need for in-depth scientific research on this topic. Such research may have positive impact on optimization of the profile and SvGls concentration in plants and thus lead to obtaining desired yield. This research summarizes the latest approaches and developments in SvGls production. Key points • Steviol glycosides (SvGls) are found in nature in S. rebaudiana plants. • They exhibit nutraceutical properties. • This review provides an insight on different approaches to produce SvGls. • The areas of research that still need to be explored have been identified.

Due to the fast degradation time and low storage temperature of nucleic acid, a simple, fast, and highly efficient adsorption process is imperious for the extraction of nucleic acid molecules. In this article, a poly(vinyl alcohol‐co‐ethylene) (EVOH) nanofiber‐based and polyethyleneimine (PEI)‐modified chitosan (ENPC) aerogel with high static adsorption capacity of RNA and DNA molecules (812 and 867 mg g−1, respectively) is proved for enormous potential in adsorption capacity for nucleic acid extraction. A relation between adsorption capacity and the physical morphology of ENPC aerogel membrane is demonstrated with the controllable factors such as chemical components, freeze‐drying temperature, pH value of the nucleic acid solution, and membrane density. The mechanism of the anion‐exchange adsorption process of nucleic acid is analyzed and fitted well with the pseudo‐second‐order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm (monolayer adsorption). The as‐obtained ENPC aerogel in the form of a membrane with self‐cleaning and flexible properties can be easily tailored and widely utilized in a convenient and efficient extraction process of nucleic acids in both industrial and experimental levels.
