“…Phase images provided by AFM further verified the round shape and nanostructure of CIN‐loaded CSNPs (Figure ), which are mostly distributed in the range of 60–80 nm. The size variance of the particles among the DLS and SEM/AFM results may be due to the swelling of CSNPs in aqueous media and/or possible agglomeration of small particles to form large particles; this discrepancy in particle diameter has been repeatedly noticed in the literature (Qiu et al, ). Thus, SEM/AFM imaging provide the actual diameter of particles in a dry state.…”

Cinnamaldehyde (CIN), a well‐known botanical active compound but with low aqueous solubility and susceptible to degradation by oxidation reactions, was entrapped in monodispersed nanoparticles (NPs) that were assembled from chitosan (CS) and tripolyphosphate (TPP). Scanning electron microscopy/atomic force microscopy images declared the uniformed spherical shape of NPs with a size range of 60–80 nm, respectively. The ζ‐potential of the particles were observed to be positive (4.01 to 10.40 mV). Based on FT‐IR spectroscopy results, the electrostatic interactions between the active agent and CS/TPP were regarded as a motive for the formation of CIN‐encapsulated NPs. Thermal stability of the particles entrapping CIN compared with the pure CIN was verified by thermogravimetric analysis. The entrapment efficiency of CIN in polymeric nanoassemblies ranged from 7.47 to 27.42%. The ABTS radical scavenging evaluation certified the potency of this nanosystem in maintaining the antioxidant capacity of CIN. Practical applications Cinnamaldehyde (CIN) is a natural product that have antimicrobial/antioxidant activities. But due to its extremely low water solubility and sensitivity to external factors (such as temperature, light, and oxygen), its practical use in the food industry is restricted. This research aims at incorporating CIN into chitosan/tripolyphosphate nanoparticles synthesized by ionotropic gelation method for improved thermal stability as well as retaining the antioxidant activity and achieving its application in nutraceutical and functional food industries.

Plant volatile organic compounds (volatiles) are secondary plant metabolites that play crucial roles in the reproduction, defence, and interactions with other vegetation. They have been shown to exhibit a broad range of biological properties and have been investigated for antimicrobial and anticancer activities. In addition, they are thought be more environmentally friendly than many other synthetic chemicals 1. Despite these facts, their applications in the medical, food, and agricultural fields are considerably restricted due to their volatilities, instabilities, and aqueous insolubilities. Nanoparticle encapsulation of plant volatile organic compounds is regarded as one of the best strategies that could lead to the enhancement of the bioavailability and biological activity of the volatile compounds by overcoming their physical limitations and promoting their controlled release and cellular absorption. In this review, we will discuss the biosynthesis and analysis of plant volatile organic compounds, their biological activities, and limitations. Furthermore, different types of nanoparticle platforms used to encapsulate the volatiles and the biological efficacies of nanoencapsulated volatile organic compounds will be covered.

“…Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a natural antimicrobial essential oil component with a volatile and pungent character, has gained considerable attention because of its important applications as a naturally derived preservative [ 1 , 2 ] and in food packaging applications [ 3 , 4 ]. Natural preservatives are perceived to have lower toxicity, less negative environmental effects, and a better consumer acceptance [ 5 ]. AITC is a plant derived antimicrobial agent that exhibits outstanding antimicrobial characteristics that may reduce the conventional use of synthetic food preservatives by replacing them with natural antimicrobial compound [ 6 ].…”

Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) are natural essential oil components that have outstanding antimicrobial activities. However, low water solubility, high volatility, and easy degradation by heat, restricting their application in food packing industry. Development of the inclusion complex of β-cyclodextrin/AITC (β-CD/AITC) is a promising solution. Furthermore, the incorporation of β-CD/AITC complex into polylactic acid (PLA) films would be an attractive method to develop food antimicrobial materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the enhancement in physicochemical properties, antimicrobial activities, and controlled release of β-CD/AITC from such films. The addition of β-CD/AITC significantly increased the flexibility and thermal stability of films. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results revealed that the interactions between β-CD/AITC and PLA films occurred. The controlled release of AITC encapsulated in β-CD was significantly affected by relative humidity and temperature. The PLA films containing β-CD/AITC can be applied as an effective antimicrobial packing material for food and non-food applications.
