The use of emulsions to obtain edible films is a novel strategy to be explored to determine how formulation and constitution affect film properties. In such context, gelatinized tapioca starch (TS) and oregano essential oil (OEO) were used to produce new active edible films using casting technique and their physical and antimicrobial properties were studied. Regarding the emulsion constitution, which was obtained employing an high-speed homogenizer, exposure to ultrasound (US) and surfactant Tween 80 (T80) content, had relevant effects on micro (0.2 to 105 μm) and nanometric (63 to 212 nm) size distributions of the TS particles and the OEO droplets. Exposure to US reduced (4.8–34 μm) and stabilized microparticles but promoted nanoparticle aggregation during storage, independently of T80 addition. T80 helped to stabilize coarse emulsions showing a Sauter diameter of 21.4 μm along storage. Films from coarse emulsions containing OEO and T80 were stiffer (stress at break: 1.8 MPa), less soluble in water (≈ 35%) and yellowish than films without T80. In addition, surfactant promoted a discontinuous microstructure of the film matrix. Both films containing OEO showed a good capacity to inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms (≈ 2.5–4 log cycles reductions). Due to their performance as physical and antimicrobial barriers, the films can be proposed as active packaging alternatives to stabilize and release natural preservatives to promote food preservation during storage and as a tool to support environmental sustainability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48735,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Measurement and Characterization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11694-023-02011-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"6709794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extraction procedure was optimized by Response Surface Methodology with the response of highest phenolic content. Proximate analysis, FT-IR, bioactivity, antidiabetic effect and enzyme inhibition analysis were performed. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of the sumac seeds was determined by agar disc diffusion method. The total phenolic content was found as 8.74 mg GAE/g for the microwave-assisted extraction whereas, it was found as 7.28 mg GAE/g in classical extraction. The functional groups present in several phytochemicals in the seed samples were identified using FT-IR. Enzyme activity results confirmed that sumac seed is a potent an α-glucosidase inhibitor. The inhibition zones against <i>S. aureus</i> were 12.06 mm and 10.72 mm for the MAE and classical extraction, respectively.

Therefore, accurate and rapid detecting HA is of great significance. In this work, we report on a novel turn-on fluorescent aptasensor for HA detection based on a competitive combination process performed by both HA-specific and HA-analogs of aptamers. The analogue of HA was environmental-friendly obtained on the polymer chains of carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) without complex functionalization, in which the histidine was used as the polymer precursors for the first time (His-CPDs). After modification with aptamer, the analogue of HA on the His-CPDs would combine with the aptamer, leading to the agglomeration of His-CPDs and the fluorescence quenching. In the presence of HA, the HA would compete with the analogue of HA to react with the aptamer, leading to the dissociation of the agglomerates and the recovery of fluorescence. Under optimized conditions, the proposed fluorescent aptasensor can sensitively detect HA in 7 min ranging from 50 ng/mL to 40 µg/mL with the limit of detection (LOD) of 30 ng/mL.
