Article Abstract
The food industry has been exploring the association of polymers with nanoparticles in packaging production, and active products are essential to increase the shelf life of food and avoid contamination. Our study developed starch-poly (adipate co-terephthalate butyl) films with silver nanoparticles produced with components (bio-AgNPs), intending to control foodborne pathogens. The bio-AgNPs showed activity against different serotypes, including multidrug-resistant Saint Paul and Enteritidis, with minimum bactericidal concentrations ranging from 4.24 to 16.98 µg/mL. Biodegradable films with bio-AgNPs inhibited the growth of up to 10 isolates. Silver migration from the films to chicken was analyzed using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and the results showed migration values (12.94 mg/kg and 3.79 mg/kg) above the limits allowed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) (0.05 mg/kg). Thus, it is necessary to improve the technique to avoid the migration of silver to chicken meat, since these concentrations can be harmful.

The multi-component deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as indispensable tools in the lignocellulosic pretreatment process, facilitating the efficient biotransformation of biomass sugars into valuable products. In this investigation, FeCl was ingeniously incorporated to amplify the pretreatment efficacy of a DES synthesized from cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and lactic acid (LA), specifically targeting poplar sawdust (PS). Remarkably, under the meticulously optimized molar ratio of 1: 4:1, this innovative ternary DES achieved an unprecedented removal of 68.

Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic nitrogen compounds formed through microbial decarboxylation of amino acids during food spoilage and biological metabolism. Therefore, the development of rapid, selective, and cost-effective detection strategies for BAs is significant for ensuring food safety and quality. In this study, a new dicyanoisophorone-based fluorescent probe (IPC) was developed, capable of fluorescence detection of aliphatic primary amines (e.

In order to develop an alternate material for energy storage devices like batteries, this research is being done to create polymer electrolytes based on cellulose as natural polymer. Natural polymers as battery components have a number of advantages, including availability, biodegradability, unleakage, stable form, superior process, electrochemical stability, and low cost. In this study, polymer electrolytes based on cellulose have been synthesized by solution casting to prepare a thin polymer films.

This study addresses the growing need for sustainable and multifunctional materials by developing novel polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan (CS)/zirconium dioxide (ZrO) nanocomposite films. While PCL and CS offer biocompatibility and biodegradability, their combined use presents limitations for advanced applications requiring specific functional features. The incorporation of ZrO nanoparticles aims to overcome these limitations and create materials with enhanced mechanical, electrical, optical, and antibacterial properties.
