Article Synopsis
  • A new antibacterial nano-hydrogel (GEONH) was created using a combination of microfibrillated cellulose and carboxymethyl chitosan, enhanced with ginger essential oil nanoemulsion for effective preservation.
  • The optimal mass ratio of the components was found to be 1/9/270, yielding favorable properties like prolonged gel time and water absorbency, supported by X-ray diffraction and FT-IR analysis.
  • GEONH demonstrated strong antibacterial effects on various bacteria and improved the quality of stored boiled salted duck, marking it as a potential fresh-keeping packaging solution for meat products.

PVA/CC/CUR/PL composite films containing curcumin (CUR) and ε-polylysine (PL) were prepared by casting and chemical grafting methods to address the threat to food spoilage. Morphological analysis showed that the grafting of CUR and PL resulted in a rough cross-section of the polymer matrix. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the grafting of CUR and PL into the polymer matrix via esterification and amidation reactions, respectively.

The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the growth and spoilage characteristics of LD1 and SP1 in chilled chicken at 0-10 °C were studied. MAP inhibited microbial growth, TVB-N synthesis, and lipid oxidation. The inhibitory effect of MAP became more significant as the temperature decreased.
