Green biosynthesized Satureja rechingeri Jamzad-Ag/poly vinyl alcohol film: quality improvement of Oncorhynchus mykiss fillet during refrigerated storage

Abstract

The nanosilver food packaging films were developed by polyvinyl alcohol activated with Satureja rechingeri extract (S-AgNPs/PVA) using the solvent casting to evaluate the freshness of Oncorhynchus mykiss fillets during 14 days at the refrigerated temperature. The 160 pieces of fish were enfolded in 4 types of films as main group-series. The main components of the extract were carvacrol (83.2%) p-cymene (3.11%), thymol (2.13%) and γ-terpinene (1.63%). The UV-Vis and TEM evaluations of S-AgNPs showed that the size of S-AgNPs was mostly smaller than 55 nm in diameter. Mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria counts were remarkably less than 6.0 log CFU/g about 2.1, 1.3 log CFU/g and 2.0, 1.0 log CFU/g, respectively for fish samples wrapped in S-AgNP/Ult.PVA (Ultrasound method) and S-AgNP/Pho.PVA (Photochemical method) preserved at 4 °C on the 7th day. S-AgNP/Ult.PVA and S-AgNP/Pho.PVA showed strong efficiency in complete eliminating S. aureus and psychrophilic bacteria from coated trout samples than E. coli and mesophiles. It is suggested that AgNP/Ult.PVA and S-AgNP/Pho.PVA films can be used as nanocomposite film for fish preservation at refrigerated temperature to postpone the spoilage up to 7th day.

Quality characteristics of fresh noodles as affected by modified atmosphere packaging

“…Green and safety have been more and more people's attention (Li et al, 2021). As a result, many researchers have turned their attention to food packaging (Kavakebi et al, 2021;Li et al, 2022). The current rapid development of e-commerce has resulted in a need for improvements in the requirements of the package fresh food (Li et al, 2020).…”

Antimicrobial Properties of Food Nanopackaging: A New Focus on Foodborne Pathogens

“…Several studies show the biological effectiveness of inorganic NPs with a strong antibacterial activity in low concentrations ( Jafarzadeh et al, 2020 ). The typical inorganic NPs used for food packaging are silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) that are popular for its excellent toxicity to many microorganisms, with low volatility and high-temperature stability ( Shahbazzadeh et al, 2009 ; Ahari et al, 2020 ; Kavakebi et al, 2021 ). The most common method for AgNPs preparation is chemical reduction.…”
