“…Thus, among others, the reduction of decay of various berry fruits (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries) during storage has been reported [ 55 , 57 ]. Recent studies on the effects of encapsulated AITC (4%) in zein ultrafine fibers on postharvest quality of strawberry elucidated a successful reduction of weight loss and prolongation of shelf life of strawberry fruit for additional five days [ 58 ].…”

Since ancient times, plant roots have been widely used in traditional medicine for treating various ailments and diseases due to their beneficial effects. A large number of studies have demonstrated that—besides their aromatic properties—their biological activity can often be attributed to volatile constituents. This review provides a comprehensive overview of investigations into the chemical composition of essential oils and volatile components obtained from selected aromatic roots, including Angelica archangelica, Armoracia rusticana, Carlina sp., Chrysopogon zizanioides, Coleus forskohlii, Inula helenium, Sassafras albidum, Saussurea costus, and Valeriana officinalis. Additionally, their most important associated biological impacts are reported, such as anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, pesticidal, and other miscellaneous properties. Various literature and electronic databases—including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Wiley—were screened and data was obtained accordingly. The results indicate the promising properties of root-essential oils and their potential as a source for natural biologically active products for flavor, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and fragrance industries. However, more research is required to further establish the mechanism of action mediating these bioactivities as well as essential oil standardization because the chemical composition often strongly varies depending on external factors.

“…Likewise, active zein fibers with allyl isothiocyanate were applied as a sachet into a package containing strawberries. In this case, the active sachet reduced the weight loss up to 36% and maintained their firmness during 15 days at 4°C [58]. On the other hand, two recent developments based on PVOH nanofibers loaded with inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin with cinnamon essential oil (CEO), and zein and ethyl celullose fibers loaded with CEO demonstrated their excellent effectivity during the storage of mushrooms.…”

Nowadays, polymeric materials are widely used in the development of food packages. However, as food products with a greater safety and longer durability are required, packaging research area has been focused on the production of functional materials able to reach such further protection. The incorporation of natural and synthetics active compounds into the polymeric materials by traditional techniques has been the main used strategy, surging thus the research area of active food packaging. Furthermore, the latest science advances provide promising technologies for developing packaging materials, such as the electrospinning. This technique has allowed obtaining ultrathin electrospun mats based on micro- and/or nanofibers that have been proposed as novel active materials able to be applied as wrapper films, sachets and bags during the food packaging. In this chapter, the description of electrospinning, the effect of their principal parameters during the development of active food packaging materials as well as their current applications on different foodstuffs are presented.

“…The preparation of electrospun solutions and the production of nanofiber films were performed according to the method of Colussi, Ferreira da Silva, Biduski, Mello El Halal, da Rosa Zavareze, & Guerra Dias (2021) with some modifications. First, 25 wt% zein solution and 15 wt% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solution were prepared by stirring zein and PVP in 85% (v/v) ethanol–water for 2 h. The 25 wt% zein solution was mixed with CA in the dark for 30 min.…”

“…According to the method of Colussi, Ferreira da Silva, Biduski, Mello El Halal, da Rosa Zavareze, and Guerra Dias (2021) , potassium persulfate and ABTS were combined in equal proportion and reacted in darkness for 12 h. The supernatant of the sample was mixed with the ABTS diluent at a ratio of 1:20 and left to react for 15 min in an opaque box before the absorbance at 734 nm was recorded.…”
