“…Anthierens et al [47] developed an oxygen scavenger using an endospore-forming bacteria genus Bacillus amyloliquefaciens as the "active ingredient". Spores were incorporated in poly(ethylene terephthalate, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol) (PETG), an amorphous PET copolymer having a considerable lower processing temperature and higher moisture absorption compared to PET.…”

“…Spores were incorporated in poly(ethylene terephthalate, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol) (PETG), an amorphous PET copolymer having a considerable lower processing temperature and higher moisture absorption compared to PET. The use of viable spores as oxygen scavengers could have advantages towards consumer perception, recyclability, safety, material compatibility and production costs compared to currently available chemical oxygen scavengers [47].…”

New trends in beverage packaging are focusing on the structure modification of packaging materials and the development of new active and/or intelligent systems, which can interact with the product or its environment, improving the conservation of beverages, such as wine, juice or beer, customer acceptability, and food security. In this paper, the main nutritional and organoleptic degradation processes of beverages, such as oxidative degradation or changes in the aromatic profiles, which influence their color and volatile composition are summarized. Finally, the description of the current situation of beverage packaging materials and new possible, emerging strategies to overcome some of the pending issues are discussed.

“…The inside of the bottle is in contact with the product, allowing moisture uptake of the bottle needed for spore germination. The system allows scavenging of residual oxygen from the in-bottle environment and scavenging from atmospheric oxygen permeating through the bottle wall (Anthierens et al, 2011) An ascorbyl palmitate--cyclodextrin inclusion complex was produced and used as oxygen scavenger by . Cyclodextrin inclusion complex is one microencapsulation technique that has a significant potential for oxygen scavenging technology.…”

“…Thus, the active packages could allow to preserve the sensory characteristics of products, ensuring their freshness . Among the active systems applied to food packaging, the oxygen scavengers (OS) are widely studied as the food deterioration is mainly governed by oxidation processes . The most common OS technology consists in permeable sachets that contain the oxygen absorbent components and that are normally included in the package.…”

Polymeric active materials represent an innovative food packaging concept that has been introduced to improve the quality of foods and to enhance their shelf life. In this article, the effect of the inclusion of an oxygen scavenger in a polymeric matrix, realizing multilayer active polyester films by coextrusion process, is analyzed. In particular, three layer active films, at different mass ratios of the layers, were produced to form symmetrical "ABA" structures comprising polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a polymeric oxygen scavenger (OS) as core layer and pure PET as external layers. Oxygen scavenging tests conducted on the multilayer active structures have pointed out the role of the relative layer thickness in controlling the scavenging capacity, the activity time and the oxygen absorption rate. A modeling of the scavenging phenomena, which combines a quasi steady‐state distribution in the skin layers with a flat profile of O2 content in the active core layer, can explain the experimentally observed oxygen absorption rate at short times. Moreover, steady state oxygen transport measurements, performed when the scavenger reactive capacity is exhausted, have shown that the presence of the active phase slightly reduces the O2 permeability, compared with the neat PET. The effect, which progressively increases with the amount of active phase in the film formulation, was related to the different morphological state developed on processing. Finally, preliminary shelf life tests on fresh‐cut untreated apples suggest that the developed three layer active films have a significant potential in the shelf‐life extension of oxygen sensitive food products. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
