Article Abstract
There are some drawbacks such as the propagation and spread of bacteria and viruses during the use of normal paper. Therefore, this work designed a starch styrene-acrylic antibacterial emulsion for improving the paper properties. The modified antimicrobial monomer was prepared by the subject-object recognition of β-cyclodextrin with hydrophobic modified titanium dioxide. The antibacterial performance of prepared emulsion was tested by Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus. And the mechanical properties of the modified paper were measured according to the national standards. The results showed that the antibacterial emulsion has excellent comprehensive performance with the viscosity of 1750 mPa·s, the inhibition ring diameter of 11.82 mm, the good chemical stability and storage stability. Therefore, the proposed cationic starch styrene-acrylic antibacterial emulsion has promising applications in paper surface modification.

Although citrus essential oils, including lemongrass essential oil, have antibacterial, anti-biofilm, and antioxidant properties, their biological instability and poor water solubility render them unsuitable for industrial usage. Thus, this study aimed to prepare both lemongrass essential oil emulsion (LEO-E) and lemongrass essential oil nanoemulsion (LEO-NE), and evaluate their different bioactivities. Characterization by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and evaluation of antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antioxidant, and anticancer activities were carried out.

Environmentally friendly food packaging has emerged as a viable strategy to replace traditional plastic films. In this study, eugenol Pickering emulsion was constructed with konjac glucomannan (KGM) and tragacanth gum (GT) as stabilizers, and was introduced into the KGM/chitosan (CS) composite film by electrostatic action to develop a new type of active packaging film. Interfacial characterization revealed optimal emulsion stability at a 1:5 KGM-to-GT mass ratio.

Efficient encapsulation of bioactive compounds in the food-grade delivery systems to improve their stability, efficiency, and bioavailability and to develop functional foods is a novel and interesting field of research in food industry. Here, two unstable and hydrophobic food ingredients including vitamin E (Vit E) and clove essential oil (CEO) were encapsulated in the chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) by the emulsion/ ionic gelation technique without using any toxic surfactant. The physicochemical characterization by DLS, FTIR, FE-SEM, and TEM, confirmed the synthesis of high colloidal and monodispersed ChNPs with narrow size distribution of less than 50 nm.

The development of biodegradable active packaging plays a vital role in reducing plastic pollution and improving food safety. In this study, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were employed to stabilize oregano essential oil (OEO) Pickering emulsions (COPEs), which were then incorporated into glycerol as a plasticizer and calcium ion-crosslinked low-methoxyl pectin (LMP) to prepare degradable active films - COPE-LMP. We investigated the modification effects and compatibility of the COPEs within the LMP matrix via varying the proportions of CNCs and OEO.

Objective: To develop near-infrared (NIR) laser-activated PLGA-PDA core-shell nanohybrids encapsulating Ag/CuO nanoparticles for simultaneous photothermal antibacterial therapy and sustained Ag/Cu release, and to evaluate their bactericidal efficacy against Streptococcus mutans and preventive potential in orthodontic white spot lesions.
Methods: Ag/CuO nanoparticles were encapsulated in PLGA/PDA nanospheres via a double-emulsion and self-polymerization approach. The resulting core-shell particles were fully characterized for composition, size distribution, zeta potential, morphology, photothermal performance, release kinetics, and cytocompatibility.
