Natural polysaccharide-based smart (temperature sensing) and active (antibacterial, antioxidant and photoprotective) nanoparticles with potential application in biocompatible food coatings

Current developments in the nanomediated delivery of photoprotective phytochemicals

“…Since drastic temperature difference can trigger the nanoparticles to change color, it can signal possible food spoilage. Hence, the study shows the potential for developing "smart" temperature sensing nanoparticle food coatings (Kritchenkov et al 2019).…”

Polysaccharide nanoparticles: from fabrication to applications

“…For example, active packaging can be produced by adding antimicrobial, antioxidant and photoprotective nanoparticle additives into the packaging structure. 279,280 A typical example of developing nanoparticle packaging additives, which simultaneously have intelligent and active properties was described in the study of Kritchenkov et al 280 Fig. 14 CH/HA NPs have the capacity to disturb the stratum corneum lamellae organisation, increasing the skin penetrability of the active ingredients entrapped, e.g.…”

Biocompatible Nanomaterials in Food Science, Technology, and Nutrient Drug Delivery: Recent Developments and Applications

“…When conventional adsorbents are compared, excellent performance is shown by the functional nanomaterials in terms of removal and pre-concentration of contaminants from food, resulting in a significant improvement in accuracy, detection, precision, selectivity, and sensitivity. Up till now, as far as biological and environmental samples are concerned, summarization of the applications of nanomaterials as solid-phase extraction adsorbents has been well-presented ( 21 ).…”

“…Nanomaterials' properties could regulate physiological homeostasis and biochemical functionality. Antimicrobial properties of silver, calcium, and zinc nanoparticles are established as they are biocompatible and can be used as an edible film in food packaging ( 21 ).…”
