Usage of edible films and coatings alone or incorporated with natural extracts are a new approach to preservation and packaging of food. In this study, therefore, the microbiological, chemical quality, and sensorial changes of rainbow trout fillets coated with gelatin films supplemented with propolis extract (PE) (2, 8, 16%), as a source of polyphenols, were determined during 15 days of refrigerated storage (4 ± 1 °C). According to peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assays, lipid oxidation was delayed in the fillets coated with gelatin films incorporated with PE comparing with the control and gelatin-coated (without PE) fillets. The total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) value of rainbow trout fillets showed an increase in all groups at the end of storage, observing the lowest values in the fillets coated with gelatin films prepared with 16% PE. Gelatin films enriched with PE had great inhibitory effects on the microbial growth in rainbow trout fillets. The addition of PE enhanced the effectiveness of gelatin films and delayed the lipid oxidation and sensory and microbial deterioration in trout fillets coated with these films. Thus, PE can be recommended to be used as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial additive with gelatin films to maintain rainbow trout fillet quality.

Well-designed artificial scaffolds are urgently needed due to the limited self-repair capacity of bone, which hampers effective regeneration in critical defects. Optimal scaffolds must provide physical guidance to recruit cells and immune regulation to improve the regenerative microenvironment. This study presents a novel scaffold composed of dual-sided centripetal microgrooved poly(D,L-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) film combined with a dynamic hydrogel containing prednisolone (PLS)-loaded Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB@PLS).

This study aimed to construct oleofilms containing a binary mixture of proteins (soy protein hydrolysate and gelatin) and lipids (olive oil, stearic acid, and lecithin) using various ultrasonic emulsification processes. Initially, oleogels (OG20, OG40, OG60, OG80, and OG100) were fabricated with different sonication powers (20 %-100 %), along with control (OG) without sonication. Macrostructure, FTIR, DSC, stability coefficient (57.

One of the main limitations of biopolymers compared to petroleum-based polymers is their weak mechanical and physical properties. Recent improvements focused on surmounting these constraints by integrating nanoparticles into biopolymer films to improve their efficacy. This study aimed to improve the properties of gelatin-chitosan-based biopolymer layers using zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles combined with spermidine to enhance their mechanical, physical, and thermal properties.

Osteoblasts play a critical role in maintaining bone homeostasis. Senescence causes by free radical-mediated oxidative stress may affect the viability and osteogenic differentiation potential of osteoblast during bone formation. To eliminate the impacts of senescent cells by free radical scavenging is an optimal option for bone regeneration in age-related bone disease, such as osteoporosis (OP) and periodontitis.

Exploiting novel crosslinking chemistry, this study pioneers the use of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) to chemically crosslink porcine-derived gelatin, producing enhanced gelatin hydrogel films through a solvent-casting method. Our innovative approach harnesses the reactive isocyanate groups of WPU, coupling them effectively with gelatin's hydroxyl and primary amino groups to form robust urea and urethane linkages within the hydrogel matrix. This method not only preserves the intrinsic elasticity of polyurethane but also significantly augments the films' tensile strength and strain.
