Eco-friendly food packaging films: Sustainable alginate extraction from Sargassum via enzymatic engineering
Alginate, a natural polysaccharide, has demonstrated significant potential in food packaging due to its biodegradability and functionality. This study utilized Sargassum (a non-edible brown seaweed) as the raw material and employed a combined enzymatic method to extract alginate, achieving a final alginate yield of 41.38 ± 0.44 %. The extracted alginate was characterized by fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), confirming its excellent film-forming properties. Composite films were developed by blending alginate with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and ε-polylysine (ε-PL). Furthermotre, the structural and functional properties of the films were analyzed. Compared to pure alginate films, the composite films exhibited improved mechanical strength, thermal stability, barrier properties, and antimicrobial activity. Notably, HPMC improved mechanical flexibility, TiO2 conferred UV-resistant durability, while ε-PL exhibited membrane-disruptive antimicrobial action, synergistically enhancing multifunctionality. Additionally, compared to commercial polyethylene film, the composite films applied to Physalis peruviana L. reduced weight loss by 19.60 % and better preserved their soluble solids (13.07 ± 0.31 %), titratable acidity (10.38 ± 0.36 g/kg), vitamin C (17.46 ± 0.86 mg/100 g), total phenolics (8.41 ± 0.42 mg/g), and flavonoids (1.52 ± 0.03 mg/g). The composite films also effectively enhanced the antioxidant defense system in P. peruviana. This study establishes a mechanistically informed strategy for sustainable alginate extraction and its translation into biodegradable, high-barrier food packaging materials.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
