“…Packaging is an essential component in the food industry, which can be used to maintain the integrity, quality, freshness, and safety of foods. It could protect the food products from microbial contamination, appearance damage, changes in color and texture, and reduce the incidence of foodborne diseases [ 4 ].…”

In the present study, an anti-bacterial film (Carr/POM film) was prepared through the incorporation of Wells-Dawson polyoxometalate K6[Mo18O62P2] into κ-carrageenan-based polymers using the tape-casting method. The mechanical properties, thermal stability, and morphology of the prepared film were characterized. The obtained results showed that incorporation of K6[Mo18O62P2] significantly affected the morphology and structure of the films. Moreover, the polyoxometalate-based film demonstrated desirable bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive). Carr/POM (@8 mg/mL) film resulted in an obvious inhibition zone around the film in Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test, which could also remove 99% of S. aureus and E. coli on plastic, glass, and stainless steel. In addition, this anti-bacterial film also demonstrated good biodegradability, which could be decomposed in soil in around 1 week. In conclusion, the polyoxometalate-based film showed good anti-bacterial property against food-borne pathogenic microbes, suggesting the prepared film has great potential to be developed as promising food packaging.

“…The formation of protein–polyphenol complexes has been actively studied in food chemistry for a long time [ 11 , 12 ]. However, in the last decade, the protein–polyphenol complexes appear as the basis for the development of anticancer drugs, both in the field of formation of submicron particles and up to the regulation of redox balance within tissues [ 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Hybrid carriers with the mineral CaCO3/Fe3O4 core and the protein–tannin shell are attractive for drug delivery applications due to reliable coupling of anticancer drugs with protein–tannin complex and the possibility of remote control over drug localization and delivery by the external magnetic field. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms of drug release via enzymatic degradation of a protein–tannin carrier shell triggered by proteolytic hydrolases trypsin and pepsin under physiological conditions. To do this, the carriers were incubated with the enzyme solutions in special buffers to maintain the enzyme activity. The time-lapse spectrophotometric and electron microscopy measurements were carried out to evaluate the degradation of the carriers. It was established that the protein–tannin complex demonstrates the different degradation behavior depending on the enzyme type and buffer medium. The incubation in trypsin solution mostly resulted in the protein shell degradation. The incubation in pepsin solution did not affect the protein component; however, the citric buffer stimulates the degradation of the mineral core. The presented results allow for predicting the degradation pathways of the carriers including the release profile of the loaded cargo under physiological conditions. The viability of 4T1 breast cancer cells with mineral magnetic carriers with protein–tannin shells was investigated, and their movement in the fields of action of the permanent magnet was shown.

“…Developing active packaging with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties can be a good strategy for decreasing food loss and waste during unstable transportation inside the food supply chain. However, both active compounds and biopolymeric matrices have some drawbacks for complying with performant food packaging [130]. Nanocarriers have shown their potential to improve the disadvantages of active packaging materials.…”

Lockdown has been installed due to the fast spread of COVID-19, and several challenges have occurred. Active packaging was considered a sustainable option for mitigating risks to food systems during COVID-19. Biopolymeric-based active packaging incorporating the release of active compounds with antimicrobial and antioxidant activity represents an innovative solution for increasing shelf life and maintaining food quality during transportation from producers to consumers. However, food packaging requires certain physical, chemical, and mechanical performances, which biopolymers such as proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids have not satisfied. In addition, active compounds have low stability and can easily burst when added directly into biopolymeric materials. Due to these drawbacks, encapsulation into lipid-based, polymeric-based, and nanoclay-based nanocarriers has currently captured increased interest. Nanocarriers can protect and control the release of active compounds and can enhance the performance of biopolymeric matrices. The aim of this manuscript is to provide an overview regarding the benefits of released active compound-loaded nanocarriers in developing sustainable biopolymeric-based active packaging with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Nanocarriers improve physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the biopolymeric matrix and increase the bioactivity of released active compounds. Furthermore, challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and a brief post-COVID-19 scenario were also mentioned.
