Full textThe current trend in food packaging is oriented towards the substitution of non-biodegradable petroleum-based polymers by packaging materials that are eco-friendly and can prolong the food shelf life as well. In this context, this Ph.D. project aims to the development of chitosan-based blend films enriched with natural (essential oils) and synthetic (ethyl lauroyl arginate) antimicrobial compounds for sustainable food packaging applications. The overall project has been divided into five main parts. The brief description of each chapter is presented here: Chapter I presents a brief introduction to the recent advances of chitosan-based blend films for food packaging applications. The reason for selecting chitosan as the main biopolymer in this study and literature review concerning blending chitosan with other biopolymers has been described. Chapter II aims to develop blend and bilayer bio-based active films by solvent casting technique, using chitosan and gelatin as biopolymers, glycerol as a plasticizer and ethyl lauroyl arginate (LAE) as an antimicrobial compound. The results showed that blend films had higher tensile strength and elastic modulus and lower water vapor permeability than bilayer films (p<0.05). Bilayer films demonstrated as effective barriers against UV light and showed lower transparency values (p<0.05). FT-IR spectra indicated that interactions existed between chitosan and gelatin due to electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bond formation. However, the addition of LAE did not interfere in the network structure. Active films containing LAE (0.1%, v/v) inhibited the growth of four food bacterial pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Campylobacter jejuni. Chapter III focuses to develop films based on chitosan-gelatin blend enriched with cinnamon, citronella, pink clove, nutmeg, and thyme essential oils (1%, v/v) and evaluating their physical, optical, mechanical, water barrier and microstructural properties for active food packaging applications. The results confirmed intermolecular interactions between functional groups of the essential oils with the hydroxyl and amino groups of the chitosan-gelatin film network. The incorporation of different essential oils notably improved the UV barrier properties. The developed films, with special regards for those including thyme essential oil, were effective against four common food bacterial pathogens. Chapter IV aims to develop active films based on blending chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol enriched with LAE at different concentrations (1-10%, w/w). The results showed that high LAE levels negatively affected mechanical and water barrier properties. Addition of LAE improved UV barrier properties. The developed active films were effective against four common food bacterial pathogens.

Full textThe advantages of using enzymes instead of chemicals in the industrial processes and their wide range applications are nowadays of common knowledge, but over the last few decades we are experiencing a shift from the use of enzymes free in solution to the use of immobilized enzymes. In particular, in the food industry, an immobilized enzyme is often found as the functional agent in the so called “active packaging”. Among the enzymes used for industrial applications, laccase (E.C. 1.10.3.2) is certainly one of the most exploited and versatile, thanks to its broad substrate-specificity and tuneable redox potential at different working conditions. It has been reported for example that fungal laccase can degrade some mycotoxins. In this PhD work, studies were carried out on enzymes to be used for food packaging applications. A recombinant fungal laccase isoform overexpressed in yeast has been successfully immobilized in its active form into hydrogel films. Functional studies were carried out both in vitro and on food matrix. Results showed that the recombinant enzyme, coupled with a proper laccase-mediator system, was effective in degrading widespread and very hazardous mycotoxins such as aflatoxin M1 and aflatoxin B1. Another laccase fungal isoform was successfully overexpressed in bacteria, but purification did not give a functional product. As a second solution for food packaging, lysozyme was chosen as antimicrobial agent in the crystal form, as protein crystals were grown on advanced materials composed by hydrogel layers coated on hydrophobic membranes (hydrogel composite membranes). Tests in vitro showed that the antimicrobial activity of this new packaging solution resulted to be more efficient than the one of the enzyme free in solution. To our knowledge this is the first study concerning the application of crystallized enzymes on food packaging.

Full textFood technologies have played a crucial role since the beginning of human civilization. The evolution of food processing and packaging have led to an increase of food quality and safety, improving the quality of human life. Recently, academic research and industries have gained awareness about the economic and environmental impact of conventional technologies. This consciousness oriented the efforts towards more sustainable techniques and materials, paving the way to a new “green era” of food technology. This PhD project is an example of multidisciplinary approach in which food microbiology, biomaterial science, extraction techniques, and statistic tools are synergistically applied to develop and test sustainable protocols and active packaging materials with promising applications in food sector. An outline of the thesis chapters is provided below. Chapter 1 introduces sustainable non-thermal technologies as promising substitutes of conventional thermal treatments to ensure food safety and quality. A focus is dedicated to biodegradable polymers from renewable sources (e.g., agri-food by-products) and their application to produce active packaging films with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Moreover, this chapter gives to the readers an overview about the concept of “hurdle technology”. Chapter 2 aims to evaluate cold storage coupled with gaseous ozone as a prospective strategy to inhibit pathogenic and spoilage bacteria growth in food storage cold chambers. The research investigated the impact of gaseous ozone (0.05 ppm, different exposures) on the bacterial contamination of internal surfaces and air in a cold chamber (3°C). The effectiveness of this combination of technologies was also tested in vitro against E. coli, L. monocytogenes, S. enterica Typhimurium, C. jejuni, and P. fluorescens. Chapter 3 focuses on the complex interaction between the properties of biodegradable films and the manufacturing parameters, leading the need for statistical models to describe and predict this interdependence. This study analysed the impact of 8 compositional and drying factors on microstructural and functional properties of films based on chitosan and pectin through a multivariate approach. 32 formulations were developed and the results were analysed through principal component analysis (PCA). An in-depth discussion of the results was provided, highlighting the suitability of multivariate data analysis to predict the technical behaviour of films related to the manufacture process. Chapter 4 explores the use of plant leaf extracts to produce active biodegradable films with antioxidant properties. This research aimed to set up an optimised protocol to extract polyphenols from sage and nettle leaves and to incorporate them into films based on chitosan/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (CS/HPMC) blend, hence characterising their structural, technical, and antioxidant performances. The results showed that the obtained natural films could be employed as valuable alternative to synthetic plastics with antioxidant activity to prolong the shelf-life of food products. In Chapter 5, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were isolated from orange peel discarded by orange juice industry using an alkaline/H2O2 bleaching followed by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. Extracted CNCs were added as reinforcing agent into CS/HPMC films enriched with lauroyl arginate ethyl (LAE) to produce nanocomposite antimicrobial films. The biocidal activity of the films against E. coli, S. enterica, L. monocytogenes, and P. fluorescens was tested. Overall, nanocomposite films enriched with LAE showed potentiality as a suitable strategy to replace antimicrobial petroleum-derived materials and to valorise discarded orange peels, using food waste to reduce food loss.
