Antimicrobial Carvacrol in Solution Blow‐Spun Fish‐Skin Gelatin Nanofibers

Abstract

Results obtained in the study may help with antimicrobial carvacrol addition levels for gelatin fiber preparation using solution blow spinning (SBS) method. SBS gelatin fibers with added antimicrobials have potential applications for food packaging and medical wound dressing.

Antifungal and physicochemical properties of Ocimum essential oil loaded in poly(lactic acid) nanofibers

“…Previous reports have shown that the viscosity of the polymeric solution increases as a result of the incorporation of the constituents of the essential oil, and the fibre diameter is affected (Liu et al . 2018a, 2018b), similarly to what was reported in this work.…”

“…Studies suggest that the viscosity and surface tension of the solution are key parameters during the formation of the nanofibres, and the increase in the viscosity of the solutions is the result of the increase in the diameter of the nanofibres (Silva et al 2015;Liu et al 2018b). Previous reports have shown that the viscosity of the polymeric solution increases as a result of the incorporation of the constituents of the essential oil, and the fibre diameter is affected (Liu et al 2018a(Liu et al , 2018b, similarly to what was reported in this work.…”

Antifungal and antiocratoxigenic potential of Alpinia speciosa and Cymbopogon flexuosus essential oils encapsulated in poly(lactic acid) nanofibres against Aspergillus fungi

“…The incorporation of essential oils can also significantly alter the morphology of polymeric nanofibres (Bonan et al 2015; Souza et al 2015). Studies by Liu et al (2018) showed that the viscosity of polymeric solutions increases proportionally with the addition of essential oils. The authors suggest that the change in viscoelastic forces could counteract the force of the air flow and make it difficult to stretch the jet of the polymeric solution.…”

Natural Plant-Derived Chemical Compounds as Listeria monocytogenes Inhibitors In Vitro and in Food Model Systems

“…L. monocytogenes 19115 was inhibited by created nanofibers. Nanofiber mats were placed on agar plates and incubated at 35 • C for 24 h. Oppositely to most of the other reports, authors achieved the biggest inhibition zone when fibers had the least carvacrol concentration (15%) and the smallest with 30% of carvacrol [135]. However, the same group prepared also nanofibers containing cinnamaldehyde (5-30%) and measured activity of the fibers using the same method.…”
