“…Alginate-based coatings can preserve foods by increasing the water barrier, maintaining flavor, and retarding fat oxidation [87]. Furthermore, alginate is kno wn to have enhancing effects on storage properties of meat and meat products by mixing with various biodegradable (e.g., ascorbic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, chitosan, starch, calcium and essential oils) [15,29,[88][89][90][91]. The alginate-based edible coatings decreased lipid oxidation of the meat compared to the non-coating meat, also, the alginate with oregano oil coating treatment showed the highest inhibited color losses, water losses, and lipid oxidation compared to the noncoating meat [29].…”

“…Furcellaran, as a new biopolymer, has been used in the development of films and coatings for food packaging applications [90,93]. Furcellaran is a naturally sulfated anionic polysaccharide typically obtained from the extract of red algae (Furcellaria lumbricalis), which possesses properties reminiscent of both agar and carrageenan [90].…”

In 2018, the worldwide consumption of meat was 346.14 million tonnes, and this is expected to increase in the future. As meat consumption increases, the use of packaging materials is expected to increase along with it. Petrochemical packaging materials which are widely used in the meat processing industry, take a long time to regenerate and biodegrade, thus they adversely affect the environment. Therefore, the necessity for the development of eco-friendly packaging materials for meat processing, which are easily degradable and recyclable, came to the fore. The objective of this review is to describe the application of natural compound-derived edible films with their antioxidant and antibacterial activities in meat and meat products. For several decades, polysaccharides (cellulose, starch, pectin, gum, alginate, carrageenan and chitosan), proteins (milk, collagen and isolated soy protein) and lipids (essential oil, waxes, emulsifiers, plasticizers and resins) were studied as basic materials for edible films to reduce plastic packaging. There are still high consumer demands for eco-friendly alternatives to petrochemical-based plastic packaging, and edible films can be used in a variety of ways in meat processing. More efforts to enhance the physiological and functional properties of edible films are needed for commercial application to meat and meat products.

“…Chitosan (CS) is one of the most promising polysaccharide biopolymers with high practical potential due to its non-toxic nature, biocompatibility, antimicrobial activity, film-forming properties, relative chemical, and mechanical stability [ 1 , 2 ]. These properties make CS coatings useful for biomedical, packaging, pharmaceutical, and water-treatment applications [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Nevertheless, their usage in the biomedical sector remains dominant.…”

Anodic Electrodeposition of Chitosan–AgNP Composites Using In Situ Coordination with Copper Ions

et al. 2021

Chitosan is an attractive material for biomedical applications. A novel approach for the anodic electrodeposition of chitosan–AgNP composites using in situ coordination with copper ions is proposed in this work. The surface and cross-section morphology of the obtained coating with varying concentrations of AgNPs were evaluated by SEM, and surface functional groups were analyzed with FT-IR spectroscopy. The mechanism of the formation of the coating based on the chelation of Cu(II) ions with chitosan was discussed. The antibacterial activity of the coatings towards Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 35984/RP62A bacteria was analyzed using the live–dead approach. The presented results indicate that the obtained chitosan–AgNP-based films possess some limited anti-biofilm-forming properties and exhibit moderate antibacterial efficiency at high AgNP loads.

“…To expand the use of these techniques, petroleum-based synthetic polymers are employed due to their low cost, ease of processing, and lightness [1] . However, these materials generate large amounts of waste that require proper handling [3] . As much as petroleum-based polymers are consolidated in industries, these environmental aspects, together with the growing consumer demand for safe and non-toxic materials, make this topic of great relevance for current and future research [4] .…”

Transglutaminase effect on the gelatin-films properties

et al. 2021

BACKGROUND: The development of biodegradable materials, especially those from renewable sources, is important to reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment. On the other hand, protein-based lms have high solubility in water, in addition to limited mechanical properties, which makes their application in high humidity environments a challenge. The enzyme transglutaminase (TGase) can reduce the interaction of gelatin lms with water, improving these properties, while improving the mechanical properties.Therefore, this study aimed to determine the best condition for using the TGase enzyme, through variations in the gelatin and enzyme mass, in addition to the time that the enzyme acts on the gelatin, evaluating the properties tensile strength, elongation, and solubility in water. In a second set of experiments gelatin amount was kept xed at 4%, and other proportions of an enzyme (1% and 5% w/w gelatin) were studied, evaluating beyond these properties the degradation in simulated soil through thermogravimetry analysis and Fourrier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR).RESULTS: It was concluded that the higher concentration of TGase (5%) promoted a greater reduction in the solubility of the lms, making the lms more resistant to biodegradation, facilitating their application due to the increase in their useful life. CONCLUSION: At the end of the degradation test, it was noticed that the lms were degraded, presenting the potential for substitution of polymers of fossil origin, which could be an alternative to the problem of polymeric residues in the environment. HighlightsThe addition of the enzyme decreased the solubility of the lms;Films with the enzyme have increased resistance to biodegradation when compared to lms without the enzyme.Gelatin lms with and without enzyme have been completely degraded when expose to soil.
