Development of novel EGCG/Fe loaded sodium alginate-based packaging films with antibacterial and slow-release properties

Fabrication of EGCG‐loaded Spirulina platensis microcarrier with sustained release properties and their application in extending the shelf‐life of minced lamb meat

“…2b); and (ii) EGCG's predominantly single-electron-transfer-based for ABTSÁ + radicals (Fig. 2d) (Mao et al, 2023). These results verified that SP@EGCG microcarriers have great potential to trap free radicals and desirable antioxidant properties.…”

“…In contrast, the TVC of the free EGCG and SP@EGCG microcarrier groups remained below the limits at day 10, at 5.61 and 5.16 log 10 CFU g À1 , respectively, which was attributed to the bacteriostatic properties of EGCG. Mao et al (2023) prepared EGCG/Fe loaded sodium alginate-based packaging film for the preservation of pork, and demonstrated that the incorporation of EGCG was more favourable for prolonging the storage time of pork. The results showed that the SP@EGCG microcarrier was more effective than free EGCG in inhibiting microbial growth.…”

Self-Assembled Biofunctionalized Chitosan-Derived Nanocomposite for Long-Lasting Antibacterial Packaging at Room Temperature

“…6,7 Exacerbating concerns about food packaging is the fact that synthetic plastic packaging can only act as a physical barrier to airborne microorganisms and dust, but it cannot completely avoid foodborne diseases. 8,9 In humid coastal areas, the persistence and rapid spread of pathogens in the air make foodborne illnesses more difficult to control. 10 Ordinary synthetic-polymer plastic packaging requires coldchain technology to inhibit microbial growth and extend food shelf life, which also results in additional electricity costs.…”

“…Citizen food security is an important guarantee for country and region responses to natural disasters, but traditional food packaging and storage technologies are being impacted by a new wave of public health events. , Especially the restrictions on social distance imposed by global COVID-19, the demand and service scope of processed foods have been greatly expanded. , To ensure the freshness of the survival foods on consumers’ tables, improving the shelf life of commercial products has become an important issue in the food supply chain . In the modern food industry, plastic wrap plays an important role in food preservation, but the toxicity and environmental challenges of plastic waste also threaten the public’s normal life. , Exacerbating concerns about food packaging is the fact that synthetic plastic packaging can only act as a physical barrier to airborne microorganisms and dust, but it cannot completely avoid foodborne diseases. , In humid coastal areas, the persistence and rapid spread of pathogens in the air make foodborne illnesses more difficult to control . Ordinary synthetic-polymer plastic packaging requires cold-chain technology to inhibit microbial growth and extend food shelf life, which also results in additional electricity costs. , Accordingly, there is an urgent need to develop novel biodegradable and safe packaging materials to extend the quality and freshness of food at room temperature.…”

A Predictive Study on the Content of Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) in Yunnan Large Leaf Tea Trees Based on the Nomogram Model

“…EGCG is the main polyphenol in green tea and has many biological functions. Not only does it play a crucial part in combating cancer [11][12][13][14] but it also plays a significant role in reducing inflammation [15,16] and has antibacterial, anti-infection, and other aspects. It is believed that EGCG will have great development prospects as a new drug in the future.…”
