“…The utility of biopolymers along with chitosan may enhance the antioxidant, antimicrobial activities, and also enhance the film‐forming capability consequently increases the shelf life of food (Cazón et al., 2017; de Moraes Crizel et al., 2018; Swain et al., 2014, 2018). Chitosan blended with natural plant extract, honeysuckle flower extract, citrus extract, clove eugenol, maqui berry extracts (Alsaggaf et al., 2017; Bajić et al., 2019; Genskowsky et al., 2015; Vardaka et al., 2016; Villegas‐Rascón et al., 2018; L. Wang et al., 2017), and polyphenols, essential oil, and aromatic compounds from plants enhance the antioxidant and antibacterial activities (Kaya et al., 2018; Perdones et al., 2016). The common polymers, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) have biological resistance and water barrier properties and these polymers are widely used for food packaging applications but at the same time they are hazardous too (Allahvaisi, 2012; Cazón et al., 2017; Gallego‐Schmid et al., 2019; Hernandez et al., 2019).…”

A blended composite of microbial‐derived extracellular polymeric substances (EPS‐biopolymer) and chitosan is explored for food packaging application. The FT‐IR measurement revealed the presence of the –COOH and –OH groups and the N–H stretching vibration in the blended composite film. The initial thermal degradation of engineered composite film was observed at 200°C, due to the existing moisture content and volatile materials. The massive weight loss up to 99.0 ± 0.8% was appeared at 700°C due to the total degradation of biopolymer blended chitosan composite. Comparative antimicrobial activity of biopolymer and chitosan‐biopolymer composite film was analyzed against pathogen, E. coli and the appeared zone of clearance was 1.5 ± 0.2 mm of biopolymer and 1.6 ± 0.2 mm of chitosan‐biopolymer composite film, respectively. Moreover, a preliminary investigation of fruit preservation was also carried out with this biopolymer blended chitosan composite film up to 72 hr, which proved its efficiency in packaging applications. Practical applications The mechanical and antimicrobial properties suggests that this unique blend of chitosan‐EPS composite is biodegradable in nature and provides an alternate packaging option for food products. It could be noted that the pores in the synthesized biocomposite could enable it to continue gaseous exchange but minimizes the moisture exchange, and hence, enhances the food packaging applications. Further, this unique blend is cost effective and easier to fabricate at industrial level––has potential to replace the existing polyethylene and other food packaging polymers.

“…Although combinations of chitosan with encapsulated essential oils have been reported to have a fungistatic effect against Fusarium verticillioides [24] and F. graminearum [25], to the best of the authors' knowledge, the efficacy of binary and ternary mixtures of the three bioactive compounds classes discussed above (biopolymers, phenolics and AgNPs) against Fusarium spp. has not been reported to date.…”

In Vitro Antifungal Activity of Composites of AgNPs and Polyphenol Inclusion Compounds against Fusarium culmorum in Different Dispersion Media

et al. 2018

Fusarium culmorum is a soil-borne fungus able to cause Fusarium head blight, one of the most important cereal diseases worldwide, which can result in significant yield losses of up to 50% and which jeopardizes food and feed safety due to the mycotoxins produced. In the study presented herein, the enhancement of the antifungal activity against this pathogen, resulting from the addition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to different polyphenol-stevioside inclusion compounds, dispersed either in a chitosan oligomers hydroalcoholic solution or in a choline chloride:urea:glycerol deep eutectic solvent, was investigated in vitro. The polyphenols assayed were curcumin, ferulic acid, gallic acid and silymarin. Four composite concentrations (62.5, 125, 250 and 500 µg·mL−1), with and without AgNPs, were assessed, finding noticeable differences in mycelial growth inhibition, with EC50 and EC90 values ranging from 118 to 579 µg·mL−1 and from 333 to 2604 µg·mL−1, respectively. The obtained results evidenced the improved efficacy of the composites with AgNPs, a superior performance of the composites based on curcumin and ferulic acid, and the advantages of the deep eutectic solvent-based dispersion medium over the chitosan oligomers-based one. The reported composites hold promise for crop protection applications.

“…For example, the use of polymers with three-dimensional and specific sites (Bodbodak et al, 2018), as well as the biofilm of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Assaf et al, 2019) for binding with AFM1, can reduce the presence of this mycotoxin in milk. The use of some lipid compounds has also been shown to be promising because in addition to having a mycostatic effect, they have antioxidant capacity, decreasing fungal toxicity (Bemvenuti et al, 2019;Villegas-Rascón et al, 2018).…”
