Fish and fishery products are important parts of the human diet, but the microbial, chemical, and physical deteriorations limit their shelf life. Using the modified atmospheric packaging system and edible coatings is one of the main procedures to improve the shelf life of fish. In this research, the effect of chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) loaded with fennel essential oils along with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) system on chemical, microbial, and sensorial properties of fish fillets during storage at fridge were evaluated. The results showed that coating fish fillets with CNPs and fennel EO significantly reduced the peroxide value, total volatile nitrogen, and thiobarbituric acid value compared with the control samples. Microbial analyses showed a lower number of mesophilic, psychotropic, pseudomonas, and lactic acid bacteria in coated fillets compared with control and MAP packaging. Fish fillets coated with CNPs and EO showed high acceptability in all sensorial attribute through the storage. It can be concluded that using CNPs and fennel EO along with MAP packaging can enhance the shelf life for fillets up to 18 days in the fridge.

Duck feather inspired hydrophobic carboxymethyl cellulose/gelatin film for intelligent and active food packaging.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Bionic Engineering (Ministry of Education), College of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130022, China. Electronic address:

Inspired by the superhydrophobic characteristics of duck feathers this research introduced an intelligent, responsive, and eco-friendly food packaging film constructed from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and gelatin (Gel). The film successfully mimics the asymmetric, bionic, barbed structure of a duck feather, offering outstanding hydrophobicity and moisture vapor resistance characteristics. Moreover, the bionic film demonstrated good mechanical strength, film-forming ability and biodegradability.

State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Resources, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, Jiangsu 214122, PR China; School of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, Jiangsu 214122, PR China. Electronic address:

This study comprehensively investigated DHA algal oil emulsions and microcapsules prepared with different egg yolk hydrolysates (DHYP). Dual-enzyme (phospholipase A1 and protease) treatment enhanced emulsion stability by boosting protein adsorption, reducing particle size, and increasing zeta potential. For microcapsules, EF-DUAL, treated with dual-enzymes, had improved solubility, dispersibility, and wall material compactness, effectively protecting DHA from oxidation.

Ash gourd (Benincasa hispida) is cultivated for its medicinal benefits, with processing enhancing its health properties and shelf life. The processing industries generate significant byproducts, with peel and seeds common across all methods, along with lime (from petha sweet production), brine wastewater (from fermented foods), and pulp from juice processing. This review focuses on peel, seeds, and lime wastewater, which contain valuable compounds like polyphenols, terpenoids, essential oils, and ribosome-inactivating proteins known for their antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

Existing mortar uses self-healing powders that are based on mineral admixtures, whose reactive nature negatively impacts bacterial viability and diminishes their effectiveness over time. This study aims to develop non-reactive, sustainable biochar-based healing powders with extended bacterial viability to serve as self-healing admixture in bio-mortar. Biochar from coconut husk, coconut shell, and coconut leaf petiole was evaluated for compatibility with Bacillus pumilus RSB17, emphasizing bacterial growth and calcium carbonate precipitation.
