Abstract:Packaging acts like a bond between visual communication and production technology. Packaging material is often coated to enhance visual appearance and some protective features. The COVID pandemic changed consumers’ behavior and understanding of the importance regarding the antimicrobial properties of goods that come in contact with hands. The aim of this research is to investigate and determine the antimicrobial properties of nanocomposite coatings which include nanosized zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (Ti… Show more
“…TiO 2 nanomaterials have received increased attention as promising antibacterial and antifungal agents due to they exhibit long term antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of pathogenic microorganisms, such as Salmonella , Escherichia coli , Campylobacter , Listeria monocytogenes , and Staphylococcus aureus . The antibacterial mechanism of TiO 2 primarily involves the generation of destructive reactive oxygen species (Kovář, 2016; Mesgari et al., 2021; Tomislav et al., 2022). TiO 2 nanomaterials exhibit strong antibacterial properties and, therefore, can be used to deactivate microbes in food to ensure food safety (Hudika et al., 2022; Mesgari et al., 2021).…”

“…Studies have focused on the migration and toxicity of TiO 2 NPs in the body. In one study, long‐term ingestion of food containing 0.1% TiO 2 NPs caused abnormal activation of macrophages and disrupted the immune balance, leading to adverse health effects in mice (Huang et al., 2017). In another study, Sprague–Dawley rats were orally exposed to TiO 2 NPs for 30 days, the experimental results showed that oral exposure to TiO 2 NPs can cause dysbiosis in gut microbiota and related metabolism, which may play an important role in the toxicity mechanism induced by TiO 2 NPs (Chen et al., 2019).…”

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials have attracted significant attention due to their good biocompatibility and potential for multifunctional applications. In the last few years, there has been growing interest in the use of TiO2 nanomaterials in the food industry. However, a systematic review of the synthesis methods, properties, and applications of TiO2 nanomaterials in the food industry is lacking. In this review, we provide a summary of the synthesis and properties of TiO2 nanomaterials and their composites, with a focus on their applications in the food industry. We also discuss the potential benefits and risks of using TiO2 nanomaterials in food applications. This review aims to promote food innovation and improve food quality and safety.

Packaging acts like a bond between visual communication and production technology. Packaging material is often coated to enhance visual appearance and some protective features. The COVID pandemic changed consumers’ behavior and understanding of the importance regarding the antimicrobial properties of goods that come in contact with hands. The aim of this research is to investigate and determine the antimicrobial properties of nanocomposite coatings which include nanosized zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and silicon dioxide (SiO2). For the purpose of this research, a lithographic printed packaging was coated with a nanocomposite composed of flexographic water-based varnish with incorporated ZnO, TiO2, and SiO2 nanosized particles. A total of eight modulations were presented and compared to the lone water-based varnish. The results have shown that applying nanocomposites will increase the total surface free energy of the packaging surface but will decrease the polar component of the surface free energy leading to lower hydrophilic properties. Both nanocomposite types showed that the increase in the nanoparticle weight ratio leads to higher protection benefits. Nanocomposites with ZnO have better antimicrobial activity than the ones with TiO2. The Hybrid/Z (ZnO + SiO2) significantly improved the antimicrobial capacity of water-based varnish, primarily against the ubiquitous foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
