Chitosan films and coatings containing essential oils: The antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, and application in food systems
Gaofeng Yuan,Xiaoe Chen,Duo Li +2 more
TL;DR: In general, incorporation of EOs significantly increased the antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal efficacy of chitosan films and coatings in vitro and in vivo and showed greater effectiveness against postharvest fungi and foodborne bacteria in food systems than pure films and Coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of chitosan-TiO2 composite film with efficient antimicrobial activities under visible light for food packaging applications.
TL;DR: TiO2 addition led to enhanced hydrophilicity, to better mechanical properties, and to decreased light transmittance in visible light region of the composite film, stressing the potential of the novel bio-nano composite film for food packaging applications.

The problems of using one-dimensional methods to evaluate multifunctional food and biological antioxidants
Edwin N. Frankel,Anne S. Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: There is a great need to standardise antioxidant testing to minimise the present chaos in the methodologies used to evaluate antioxidants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocomposites for food packaging applications
TL;DR: Nanoparticles have proportionally larger surface area than their microscale counterparts, which favors the filler-matrix interactions and the performance of the resulting material as mentioned in this paper, and they can have other functions when added to a polymer, such as antimicrobial activity, enzyme immobilization, biosensing, etc.
