“…The high porosity of the materials obtained facilitated the permeability of the gases (CO 2, O 2 ), which is highly desired from an economic and environmental protection point of view because the amount of material used for preparation is much lower than that used in traditional methods. Packages made of PCL and PCL/nisin fibrous mats demonstrated antispoilage properties that result in a prolonged freshness of fruits, improving their shelf life and, consequently, their safety [ 489 ].…”

Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global health and food security today. It becomes increasingly difficult to treat infectious disorders because antibiotics, even the newest ones, are becoming less and less effective. One of the ways taken in the Global Plan of Action announced at the World Health Assembly in May 2015 is to ensure the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. In order to do so, attempts are made to develop new antimicrobial therapeutics, including biomaterials with antibacterial activity, such as polycationic polymers, polypeptides, and polymeric systems, to provide non-antibiotic therapeutic agents, such as selected biologically active nanoparticles and chemical compounds. Another key issue is preventing food from contamination by developing antibacterial packaging materials, particularly based on degradable polymers and biocomposites. This review, in a cross-sectional way, describes the most significant research activities conducted in recent years in the field of the development of polymeric materials and polymer composites with antibacterial properties. We particularly focus on natural polymers, i.e., polysaccharides and polypeptides, which present a mechanism for combating many highly pathogenic microorganisms. We also attempt to use this knowledge to obtain synthetic polymers with similar antibacterial activity.

“…Electrospun fibers loaded with functional substances such as absorbents, hazardous substance scavengers, and antibacterial antioxidants are used as active food packaging to prevent biological, chemical, and physical hazards brought by the external environment of food and achieve the function of stabilizing and maintaining the quality of food itself 17 . As shown in Figure 4a and Figure 4b, Siskova et al extended the fresh-keeping time of tomatoes and kiwifruit by electrospinning nanofibers prepared by loading nisin with polycaprolactone 18 . Figure 4c shows that the PEO/zein nanofiber containing resveratrol and nanosilver prepared by Jiang et al extended the fresh-keeping period of cherry tomato 19 .…”

The nanofibers formed by electrospinning technology have the advantages of orderly release mechanism and controllable dissolution rate. However, the use of toxic and harmful organic solvents is widespread in the field of electrospinning, which not only poses a potential hazard to human health and the natural environment, but also increases the manufacturing cost and difficulty of electrospinning. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the application of green electrospinning technology in food engineering. Water solvent electrospinning is mainly introduced, and some water-soluble biopolymer and synthetic polymers are reviewed. Their latest applications and development limitations in the field of food engineering are introduced and discussed. The water solvent electrospinning introduced here transforms a process that has adverse effects on the environment and health into a scalable and ecologically conscious “green” electrospinning, which is both important and timely and will bring exemplary changes to the field of food engineering.

“…Therefore, different nisin concentrations were introduced into a poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) solution to obtain active packaging with antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . It was reported that the addition of nisin lead to increased tensile strength, together with the decrease in elongation at break, explained by the action of nisin particles as a bulky barrier to reducing the macromolecular chains movement of PCL [ 61 ]. The same finding was observed by Yang et al (2020) [ 53 ], when increasing the concentration of nisin at 0, 640, 1280, 1920, 2560, and 3200 mg/L into cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) prepared from sugarcane bagasse.…”

The preservation of food represents one of the greatest challenges in the food industry. Active packaging materials are obtained through the incorporation of antimicrobial and/or antioxidant compounds in order to improve their functionality. Further, these materials are used for food packaging applications for shelf-life extension and fulfilling consumer demands for minimal processed foods with great quality and safety. The incorporation of antimicrobial peptides, such as nisin, has been studied lately, with a great interest applied to the food industry. Antimicrobials can be incorporated in various matrices such as nanofibers, nanoemulsions, nanoliposomes, or nanoparticles, which are further used for packaging. Despite the widespread application of nisin as an antimicrobial by directly incorporating it into various foods, the use of nisin by incorporating it into food packaging materials is researched at a much smaller scale. The researchers in this field are still in full development, being specific to the type of product studied. The purpose of this study was to present recent results obtained as a result of using nisin as an antimicrobial agent in food packaging materials, with a focus on applications on products of animal origin. The findings showed that nisin incorporated in packaging materials led to a significant reduction in the bacterial load (the total viable count or inoculated strains), maintained product attributes (physical, chemical, and sensorial), and prolonged their shelf-life.
