Article Abstract
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in foodstuffs lead to widespread human exposure and are often linked to environmental contamination. However, the role of plastics in food contact articles (FCAs) has received less attention, despite being a known source. Thus, we compiled a systematic evidence map of MNPs present in foodstuffs in contact with all types of plastic FCAs. We extracted data on experimental design, FCAs, MNPs, and food or food simulants and critically appraised the general data quality, material identification methods, polymer type reporting, and study design. We included 103 eligible studies and created 600 database entries accessible in an interactive dashboard. Seven studies were appraised as highly reliable. We conclude that the normal/intended use of FCAs can lead to the migration of MNPs. Further research is needed to systematically characterize MNP migration related to materials and use. To better protect human health, regulations could mandate MNP migration testing for FCAs.

Traditional phenolic resin adhesives involve the use of petrochemical-based phenol, raising environmental and health concerns. In this study, lignin was demethylated to substitute for phenol and prepare a high-lignin-content adhesive with perfect shear strength performance. The hydroxyl content of demethylated lignin can reach up to 6.

At moderate protein concentrations (10, 20 mg/mL) and a high temperature (80 °C), meat protein (MP) self-assembled into weak gels and then intriguingly collapsed into microgels through continuous heating and annealing cooling, resulting in a sol state with exposed hydrophobic groups and disulfide bonds. The different prepared microgel groups were labeled as MP and MP, respectively. Compared with the control group (Con: 7.

To study the impact of pH-responsive labels prepared using traditional and different printing methods on fruit freshness monitoring and preservation, this study firstly optimized coaxial 3D printed labels by analyzing core-shell ratios and infill ratios, and predicted the impact of printing design on functionality of labels via four models. Then, the physicochemical properties of cast, dual-nozzle 3D printed, and coaxial 3D printed labels were compared. Finally, lightweight deep convolutional neural network models were used to enhance early warning intelligence.

Azo dyes, prevalent in various industries, including textile dyeing, food, and cosmetics, pose significant environmental and health risks due to their chemical stability and toxicity. This study introduces the synthesis and application of a copper hydrogen-π-bonded benzoate framework (Cu-HBF) and its derived marigold flower-like copper oxide (MFL-CuO) in a synergetic adsorption-photocatalytic process for efficiently removing cationic azo dyes from water, specifically crystal violet (CV), methylene blue (MB), and rhodamine B (RhB). The Cu-HBF, previously available only in single crystal form, is prepared here as a crystalline powder for the first time, using a low-cost and facile procedure, allowing its application as an adsorbent and also serving as a precursor for synthesizing well-structured copper oxide (MFL-CuO).
