Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin regarded as one of the most abundant polymers and due to its properties, both chitosan alone or in combination with bioactive substances for the production of biodegradable films and coatings is gaining attention in terms of applications in the food industry. To enhance the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of chitosan, a vast variety of plant extracts have been incorporated to meet consumer demands for more environmentally friendly and synthetic preservative-free foods. This review provides knowledge about the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of chitosan films and coatings enriched with natural extracts as well as their applications in various food products and the effects they had on them. In a nutshell, it has been demonstrated that chitosan can act as a coating or packaging material with excellent antimicrobial and antioxidant properties in addition to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. However, further research should be carried out to widen the applications of bioactive chitosan coatings to more foods and industries as well was their industrial scale-up, thus helping to minimize the use of plastic materials.

“…Os antioxidantes são substâncias capazes de inibir a oxidação de outras moléculas, ou seja, é qualquer substância que retarda, previne ou remove o dano oxidativo de uma molécula alvo (Himani et al, 2022). Antioxidantes tem a função de proteger os sistemas biológicos contra os efeitos potencialmente prejudiciais de reações das Espécies Reativas ao Oxigênio (ERO), com diversos alvos celulares (Decker, 2002).…”

“…Existe uma grande quantidade de substâncias, tanto naturais quanto sintéticas com função antioxidante e várias são amplamente utilizadas na indústria de alimentos. Os consumidores preferem antioxidantes naturais aos antioxidantes sintéticos, os antioxidantes naturais são adicionados aos alimentos em maiores quantidades do que os antioxidantes sintéticos, uma vez que, são menos ativos (Pokorný, 2007, Himani et al, 2022.…”

O chá representa uma das bebidas mais consumidas no mundo e é considerado uma rica fonte de polifenóis, compostos que atuam como antioxidantes e podem proteger contra algumas condições de saúde, gerando efeitos benéficos para o indivíduo. Diante disso, o objetivo do estudo foi identificar evidências na literatura sobre a atividade antioxidante dos chás de amplo consumo no Brasil. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa utilizando para a pesquisa, as bases de dados Periódicos Capes, livros, tese e legislações entre 1998 e 2022. Na estratégia de busca foram utilizados os descritores, chás medicinais, compostos bioativos, antioxidantes, compostos fenólicos e flavonoides nos idiomas português e inglês. Observou-se que os chás mais populares no Brasil incluem, chá de boldo, camomila, chá verde, hortelã e erva-cidreira, estas bebidas apresentam em sua constituição, flavonoides, terpenoides, alcaloides e catequinas, que são compostos com atividade antioxidante, os quais podem promover benefícios para a saúde.

“…In respect to the chemical antioxidants, the search for alternative sources, based on natural, plant-based origins, is increasing nowadays, as they are supposed to be safer. Essential oils from a wide number of plant sources have been tested and have been reported to have excellent antioxidant properties [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Similarly, in recent years, research regarding the pesticidal properties of plant-based products (botanicals) has been gradually increasing as they are safer to the environment, easily degradable, and have low toxicity as compared to the chemical pesticides [ 20 ].…”

A comparative study of volatiles, antioxidant activity, phytotoxic activity, as well as in silico molecular docking and ADMET study, was conducted for essential oils from three Vitex species, viz., V. agnus-castus, V. negundo, and V. trifolia. Essential oils (OEs) extracted by hydrodistillation were subjected to compositional analysis using GC-MS. A total number of 37, 45, and 43 components were identified in V. agnus-castus, V. negundo, and V. trifolia, respectively. The antioxidant activity of EOs, assessed using different radical-scavenging (DPPH, H2O2 and NO), reducing power, and metal chelating assays, were found to be significant as compared with those of the standards. The phytotoxic potential of the EOs was performed in the receptor species Raphanusraphanistrum (wild radish) and the EOs showed different levels of intensity of seed germination inhibition and root and shoot length inhibition. The molecular docking study was conducted to screen the antioxidant and phytotoxic activity of the major and potent compounds against human protein target, peroxiredoxin 5, and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase protein (HPPD). Results showed good binding affinities and attributed the strongest inhibitory activity to 13-epi-manoyl oxide for both the target proteins.
