Abstract
The aim of this study was to extend the shelf life of green tiger shrimps (Fenneropenaeus semisulcatus) by incorporating nettle-extract-based Silver NanoParticles (AgNPs) into Poly(Lactic Acid)(PLA) films, synthesized via photo-assisted and ultrasound-assisted methods, under refrigerated storage conditions. This study synthesized AgNPs via photochemical and ultrasound-assisted methods using nettle extract as a stabilizer. The ultrasound-assisted AgNPs exhibited the highest total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. AgNPs demonstrated strong antimicrobial effects against E. coli, S. aureus, C. albicans, and A. niger, while also enhancing the barrier properties of PLA films by reducing water vapor and oxygen permeability. These nanocomposites effectively reduced spoilage indicators in refrigerated shrimp, including Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB-N), ThioBarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARs), Peroxide Value (PV), and microbial counts of mesophilic, psychrophilic, H₂S-producing, lactic acid bacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae (P < 0.05) among all treatments, only those containing 3 % AgNPs (T4 and T7) were acceptable up to 12 days, while others remained acceptable for 6 days, confirming selective shelf life extension. These findings highlight the effectiveness of ultrasound-assisted green-synthesized AgNPs in preserving shrimp quality and suggest their potential application in seafood packaging.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
