“…AFM is a very useful technique that can provide important data on the average roughness, mean square roughness, and height of film surface. By applying AFM technique, some researchers have found the addition of propolis makes the surface of the films become more homogenous (Correa‐Pacheco et al., 2019; Villalobos et al., 2017).…”

The development of active packaging films and edible coatings based on biopolymers and natural bioactive substances has received increasing attention in recent years. Propolis, also called bee glue, is a natural resin substance collected by worker‐bees from the mucilage, gum, and resin of several plants. In food industry, propolis is commonly extracted in solvents to afford polyphenol‐rich extract with potent antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The prepared propolis extract can be mixed with biopolymers, plasticizers, emulsifiers, and reinforcing agents to develop active packaging films and edible coatings. The functionality of active packaging films and edible coatings is closely related to the type, harvesting method, geographic origin, extraction method and extraction conditions of propolis, the content and composition of polyphenolic compounds in the extract, and the presence of other bioactive substances. Active packaging films and edible coatings based on propolis extract can impact the physical, biochemical, and sensory properties of food (e.g., fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish) during storage. This review focuses on the recent advances of active packaging films and edible coatings based on polyphenol‐rich propolis extract. The impact of polyphenol‐rich propolis extract on the structural characterization, functionality, and potential food applications of the films and edible coatings is summarized.

“…Plasticizers can interact with the polymer by replacing polymer interactions [60]. This phenomenon improves the flexibility, mobility and workability of polymer by reducing intermolecular forces, T g and the processing temperature of the blends [76]. Plasticization has been observed when lignin is introduced into starch, protein and polycaprolactone [29,53,64,77,78].…”

Applications of Lignocellulosic Fibers and Lignin in Bioplastics: A Review

Lignocellulosic fibers and lignin are two of the most important natural bioresources in the world. They show tremendous potential to decrease energy utilization/pollution and improve biodegradability by replacing synthetic fibers in bioplastics. The compatibility between the fiber-matrix plays an important part in the properties of the bioplastics. The improvement of lignocellulosic fiber properties by most surface treatments generally removes lignin. Due to the environmental pollution and high cost of cellulose modification, focus has been directed toward the use of lignocellulosic fibers in bioplastics. In addition, lignin-reinforced bioplastics are fabricated with varying success. These applications confirm there is no need to remove lignin from lignocellulosic fibers when preparing the bioplastics from a technical point of view. In this review, characterizations of lignocellulosic fibers and lignin related to their applications in bioplastics are covered. Then, we generalize the developments and problems of lignin-reinforced bioplastics and modification of lignin to improve the interaction of lignin-matrix. As for lignocellulosic fiber-reinforced bioplastics, we place importance on the low compatibility of the lignocellulosic fiber–matrix. The applications of lignin-containing cellulose and lignocellulosic fibers without delignification in the bioplastics are reviewed. A comparison between lignocellulosic fibers and lignin in the bioplastics is given.

“…CS presented a lower residual mass percentage value because it contains fewer impurities than RS. It has been reported that ashes in starches are related to proteins, phosphate groups, and minerals such as calcium and magnesium [ 50 ]. The T dmax values were determined from the minimum temperatures of the peaks in the TGA curve derivatives.…”

Physicochemical, Mechanical, and Structural Properties of Bio-Active Films Based on Biological-Chemical Chitosan, a Novel Ramon (Brosimum alicastrum) Starch, and Quercetin

The properties of biological-chemical chitosan (BCh) films from marine-industrial waste and a non-conventional Ramon starch (RS) (Brosimum alicastrum) were investigated. Blended films of BCh/RS were prepared to a volume ratio of 4:1 and 1:4, named (BChRS-80+q, biological-chemical chitosan 80% v/v and Ramon starch, BChRS-20+q, biological-chemical chitosan 20% v/v and Ramon starch, both with quercetin), Films from commercial chitosan (CCh) and corn starch (CS), alone or blended (CChCS-80+q, commercial chitosan 80% v/v and corn starch, CChCS-20+q commercial chitosan 20% v/v and corn starch, both with quercetin) were also prepared for comparison purposes. Films were investigated for their physicochemical characteristics such as thickness, moisture, swelling, water-vapor permeability, and water solubility. In addition, their mechanical and structural properties were studied using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. Antioxidant activity was evaluated as radical scavenging, and antimicrobial effect was also determined. The BCh and RS films presented similar tensile strength values compared with commercial biopolymers. Only films with chitosan presented antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The FTIR spectra confirmed the interactions between functional groups of the biopolymers. Although, BChRS-80+q and BChRS-20+q films exhibited poor mechanical performance compared to their commercial counterparts, they showed good thermal stability, and improved antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in the presence of quercetin. BChRS-80+q and BChRS-20+q films have promising applications due to their biological activity and mechanical properties, based on a novel material that has been underutilized (Ramon starch) that does not compete with materials for human feeding and may be used as a coating for food products.
