The use of industrial waste as a material for the development of natural innovative and active packaging is economically and environmentally appealing. The aim of this study was to develop and characterize active gelatin films incorporating rapeseed oil industry waste. Water (RM-WE) and methanolic (RM-MWE) extracts of rapeseed meal (RM) were used as active agents in film formulations. The active films were produced by a casting technique. The physicochemical, mechanical, optical, morphological, radical scavenging, and antibacterial properties of the films were analyzed. The addition of RM-WE and RM-MWE in the concentrations range between 4 and 12% promoted an increase of Young's modulus (YM) and radical scavenging properties of films investigated by the direct QUick, Easy, New, CHEap and Reproducible procedure using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (QUENCHER) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6- sulfonic acid) (QUENCHER) radicals. The antibacterial properties of films were examined against five bacterial strains: , , , , and . Additionally, color and opacity of the control and fortified films differed significantly. The gelatin films with RM extracts are resistant to the microbial spoilage and could be used to produce active packaging for food that is vulnerable to rancidity effects.

In this study, bio-based composite films with enhanced barrier, mechanical, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties were prepared by incorporating Stropharia rugosoannulata waste (SP)-derived polysaccharides (SPP) and carbon dots (SPCDs) as an active substance into gelatin (GEL) matrix, which were evaluated for their potential application in pork preservation. The effects of varying concentrations of SPCDs on the morphology, microstructure, and overall performance of the films were systematically investigated. The findings demonstrated that the addition of SPCDs to the GEL/SPP matrix significantly improved the mechanical strength, water vapor permeability, and ultraviolet light blocking ability of the composite films.

It is an important task to construct intelligent packaging for meat freshness monitoring with good color stability and indication function. Herein, cobalt-based metal-organic framework nanomaterials (Co-MOF, ZIF-67) with antimicrobial and ammonia-sensitive properties were successfully synthesized and added into gelatin/agar (GA) matrix to develop highly stable intelligent films (GA/ZIF67). The incorporation of ZIF-67 nanoparticles enhanced the hydrophobicity (water contact angle >90°) and UV-blocking properties (close to 0.

Multifunctional pH-responsive films were fabricated via layer-by-layer deposition of gelatin, chitosan, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), incorporating selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and beetroot extract (BTE), to monitor and preserve beef freshness. SeNPs were synthesized and characterized via various techniques. BTE exhibited promising functional properties, and films demonstrated a significant color transition from red to yellow across pH 2-14.

Food packaging industries generally use petroleum-based packaging materials that are non-biodegradable and harmful to the environment. Eco-friendly polymers such as chitosan (CH), gelatin (GE), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are leading viable alternatives to plastics traditionally used in packaging because of their higher functionality and biodegradability. In this study, an innovative approach has been disclosed to prepare new packaging materials by utilizing chitosan, gelatin, and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) through a simple solution casting method.
