TL;DR: The results from these simulations provide insights into the possible differences in membrane disrupting activity of CUR against different types of microorganisms.
Abstract: Curcumin (CUR) is a natural food ingredient with known ability to target microbial cell membrane. In this study, the interactions of CUR with different types of model lipid bilayers (POPE, POPG, POPC, DOPC, and DPPE), mixtures of model lipid bilayers (POPE/POPG), and biological membrane mimics (Escherichia coli and yeast) were investigated by all-atom explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. CUR readily inserts into different types of model lipid bilayer systems in the liquid crystalline state, staying in the lipid tails region near the interface of lipid head and lipid tail. Parallel orientation to the membrane surface is found to be more probable than perpendicular for CUR, as indicated by the tilt angle distribution. This orientation preference is less significant as the fraction of POPE is increased in the system, likely due to the better water solvation of perpendicular orientation in the POPE bilayer. In E. coli and yeast bilayers, tilt angle distributions were similar to that for POPE/P...

TL;DR: In this article, spread monolayer isotherms of β-lactoglobulin, monopalmitin, monolaurin, and their mixtures were measured at the air−water interface.
Abstract: Spread monolayer isotherms of β-lactoglobulin, monopalmitin, monolaurin, and their mixtures were measured at the air−water interface. The isotherms exhibited hysteresis behavior. A phase transition...

TL;DR: Several applications of nanomaterials in food packaging and food safety are reviewed, including polymer/clay nanocomposites as high barrier packaging materials, silver nanoparticles as potent antimicrobial agents, and nanosensors and nanomMaterial-based assays for the detection of food-relevant analytes.
Abstract: In this article, several applications of nanomaterials in food packaging and food safety are reviewed, including: polymer/clay nanocomposites as high barrier packaging materials, silver nanoparticles as potent antimicrobial agents, and nanosensors and nanomaterial-based assays for the detection of food-relevant analytes (gasses, small organic molecules and food-borne pathogens). In addition to covering the technical aspects of these topics, the current commercial status and understanding of health implications of these technologies are also discussed. These applications were chosen because they do not involve direct addition of nanoparticles to consumed foods, and thus are more likely to be marketed to the public in the short term.
