Electrospun Zein Nanofibers: From Food to Food

Electrospun fiber materials based on polysaccharides and natural colorants for food packaging applications

“…Therefore, various food packaging materials have been designed to extend shelf life and monitor food quality. In this way, packaging can be divided into two main types: active food packaging and intelligent packaging (Jiang et al 2023;Zhang et al 2023).…”

“…Active food packaging aims to delay food deterioration, while intelligent packaging detects changes during transport and storage, providing information about food quality and freshness to consumers or manufacturers. A prominent trend in active packaging involves adding bioactive agents to packaging materials to maintain and enhance the quality and safety of packaged food (Jiang et al 2023). Among these agents, antibacterial and antioxidant compounds have been widely studied and are effective in inhibiting various foodborne bacteria and preventing oxidation, which can affect food quality (Jiang et al 2023;Zhang et al 2023).…”

For instance, protein oxidation reduces meat moisture content, while lipid oxidation leads to food deterioration, resulting in sensory changes and nutrient losses (Zhang et al 2023).…”

P/N Junction TiO2 Nanotube-Polyaniline Molecular Imprinting Photoelectrochemistry Micro-Sensor with a Self-Elution Function Can Efficiently Detect Chloramphenicol

“…Food safety is a critical issue for human public health, and the rapid screening and removal of toxins in food are urgently needed for healthy life. − Chloramphenicol (CAP) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used widely in the treatment of infectious diseases of livestock, poultry, and aquatic products. It can also promote growth in animals .…”

High Seebeck Coefficient Inorganic Ge15Ga10Te75 Core/Polymer Cladding Fibers for Respiration and Body Temperature Monitoring

“…Wearable thermal sensors are significant for surveying the environment and contact object temperature and demonstrate great potential in human–machine interactions, intelligent medical systems, and electronic skins. − Fiber-based thermoelectric (TE) devices enable the direct transduction of temperature difference into electrical signals and have the advantages of high reliability, small volume, and noiselessness, making them attractive in high-performance thermal sensing. − In addition, fibers demonstrate great potential for utilization in sensing, food, and lasers owing to their fast response, low cost, superior stability, tunability, and simple manufacturing. − The fibers can be bent in different directions because of their intrinsic flexibility; therefore, they can be easily wrapped around arbitrarily shaped surfaces, providing broad prospects for large-area wearable thermal sensing networks. − …”
