“…The ability of citrus oils to delay spoilage and add organoleptic qualities in food products may be interesting from a commercial point of view [43,44]. However, because of the interactions (synergisms and antagonism) between EOs and food ingredients or additives, studies aimed to maximise the antibacterial activity of EOs and to minimise the concentrations required to achieve a particular antibacterial effect are needed.…”

Abstract:Since the Middle Ages, citrus essential oils (EOs) have been widely used for their bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, antiparasitical, insecticidal, medicinal and cosmetic proprieties. Also nowadays, they find important applications in pharmaceutical, sanitary, cosmetic, agricultural and food industries. The best method to extract EOs from citrus plant tissue is steam distillation because of a variety of extracted volatile molecules such as terpenes and terpenoids, phenol-derived aromatic components and aliphatic components. In vitro physicochemical assays classify most of them as antioxidants.

“…The OLE increased the tensile strength, but reduced the elongation at break and reduced the water vapor permeation and the growth of Staphylococcus aureus in cheese. Cinnamaldehyde, which is obtained from cinnamon bark, eugenol (Sanla-Ead et al 2011), which is extracted from essential oils such as clove oil, and carvacol (Tunc and Duman 2011) have also been used as leaching antimicrobial agents in the MC matrix.…”

Cellulose derivatives, i.e. cellulose functionalized in a solvent state with various side groups, are an important source of biomaterials for food packaging. This review considers the following materials: i) cellophane, ii) cellulose acetate, iii) methylcellulose, and iv) carboxymethylcellulose. Mechanical and barrier properties are important for freestanding packaging films as well as for coatings. The potential of the selected cellulose derivatives and cellophane is thus examined from the viewpoint of their tensile properties as well as their moisture and oxygen barrier properties. The capacity of microcrystalline cellulose and nano-sized celluloses to reinforce the films and to help impede gas diffusion is examined for microfibrillar celluloses, nanocrystalline celluloses, and whiskers. Very good oxygen barrier properties have been reported for cellophane. Nanocellulose fillers have regularly been shown to enhance the tensile properties of several cellulose derivatives, but the effects on the water vapor permeability (WVP) have been studied less often.

“…However, biopolymer-based packaging materials have not been widely used in the packaging industry, because of their poor mechanical and processing properties as well as high production cost (Tunc and Duman 2011). To overcome such limitations of biopolymer-based films, the development of bio-nanocomposite films attracted renewed interests recently.…”

One-step preparation of banana powder/silver nanoparticles composite films

et al. 2017

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were synthesized using banana powder as a reducing and stabilizing agent, and banana/Ag-NPs composite films with different concentration of Ag-NPs were prepared simultaneously. The composite films were yellowish brown and exhibited characteristic plasmon resonance peak of Ag-NPs at 430 nm. The optical, mechanical, water vapor barrier, thermal stability, and antimicrobial properties of the composite films were greatly influenced by the concentration of Ag-NPs. The composite film with a silver concentration of 1.0 mM demonstrated the highest tensile strength, thermal stability, transparency, and water contact angle with the lowest water vapor permeability (1.36 ± 0.10 9 10 -9 g m/m 2 Pa s). Also, the composite films incorporated with 1.0 mM of Ag-NPs exhibited a strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive (Listeria monocytogenes) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) food-borne pathogenic bacteria.
