“…These novel fields as well as the current general uses of PP, including automotive components, stationery and textiles (e.g. ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), among others, demand for improved polyolefins and, in particular, an important research area concerns the possibility of adding bactericidal properties to such polymeric matrices [6]. Modification of these polymer-based systems to prevent growth or reduce adhesion of detrimental microorganisms appears thus as a highly desired objective.…”

“…Chitosan is being applied increasingly in many different sectors ranging from cosmetics to crop protection, to waste-water treatment, anti-microbial food additives and active packaging solutions (Rabea et al 2003, Benhamou et al 1994, Jeon et al 2002, Appendini and Hotchkiss 2002, Beach et al 2012. For example, Jeon et al (2002) showed that the shelf life of fish products could be extended by several days by incorporating chitosan coatings.…”

“…The benefits of further utilisation are difficult to gauge because at each stage of processing there are different choices, such as those to which chitosan could be directed in agriculture, food processing and medical technology described in chapter 6 (Rabea et al 2003, Benhamou et al 1994, Jeon et al 2002, Appendini and Hotchkiss 2002, Beach et al 2012. Similarly choices exist between using Pangasius oil in biofuels or animal feeds (Nguyen 2010).…”

Faculty of Natural SciencesInstitute of Aquaculture Doctor of PhilosophyBy-products and mortalities from aquaculture have often posed significant challenges to the industry because of their low value resulting in high costs and environmental impact from their disposal. However increasing interest is being expressed in their utilisation to add value to the aquaculture industry and provide synergies with industries which had previously been in competition with aquaculture.Current and prospective processing by-product and farm mortality utilisation strategies were reviewed along with regulations and standards which aim to control their use and protect against human and animal health hazards.The role of aquaculture and fishery by-products in the supply of fishmeal was investigated and it was found that both sectors had the potential to contribute to increasing global supply. There were significant quantities of processing by-products identified which could be directed to fishmeal manufacture but there were also significant amounts of fish production which were not being processed in some regions and could also add to supplies. Processing by-products from aquaculture species often exceed 50% of the production by mass and therefore their efficient utilisation is of significant importance to the overall performance of the value chain. Their utilisation ii strategies are diverse and in some circumstances offer the possibility to add significant value.Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly being used to inform decision makers and consumers about the environmental performance of goods and services to make choices on best practices and informative decisions on purchasing choices. Current methodology in LCA was critiqued and developed to be used for identifying disproportionate impacts from by-product industries and comparative assessment of the eco-efficiency of value chains from Thai shrimp, Vietnamese Pangasius catfish and Scottish salmon aquaculture.New LCA methodology was developed assessing the eco-efficiency of co-products as a whole and in relation to a tonne of edible yield. Measuring the impact of the by-product industry in relation to their edible yield gave different results to measuring their ecoefficiency between the three study species. It was found that the Thai shrimp value chain was the most eco-efficient when by-products were directed to chitosan and hydrolysate manufacture, but production of the salmon was the least impacting between the species in terms of edible yield. Pangasius was the most environmentally impacting of the three species value chains using both methods. It was also found that the upstream impacts of fish and shrimp production, especially feed manufacture, contributed most to the environmental impact in most circumstances, using both economic and mass allocation.Although the methodology produced interesting results, there were some drawbacks and the data sets also had several gaps which led to some assumptions, which could have skewed the results and interpretation.The cau...

“…In addition, the antimicrobial compound directly added into the food cannot selectively target the food surface where spoilage reactions occur more intensively. Antimicrobial packaging is an alternative method to overcome these limitations since it enables controlled release of antimicrobial agent at an appropriate rate during storage, hence, maintains its critical concentration necessary for inhibiting the microbial growth (Appendini and Hotchkiss, 2002). Controlled release systems have been mainly developed for pharmaceutical applications (Langer and Peppas, 1981;Leong and Langer, 1988;Brayden, 2003).…”

a b s t r a c tAntimicrobial packaging materials were obtained by incorporation of lysozyme into cellulose acetate (CA) films. In order to achieve controlled release of lysozyme, the structure of the films was changed from highly asymmetric and porous to dense by modulating the composition of the initial casting solution. The highest release rate, soluble lysozyme activity and antimicrobial activity were obtained with the film prepared from 5% CA solution including 1.5% lysozyme. Increasing CA content in the casting solution decreased the porosity of the films, hence, reduced the release rate, maximum released lysozyme activities and the antimicrobial activities of the films. In contrast, immobilized lysozyme activities and the tensile strength of the films increased. The incorporation of lysozyme did not cause significant reductions in tensile strength and elongation at break values except in films prepared with 15% CA. This study showed the good potential of asymmetric CA films to achieve controlled release in antimicrobial packaging.
