The development of scaffolds that mimic the aligned fibrous texture of the extracellular matrix has become an important requirement in muscle tissue engineering. Electrospinning is a widely used technique to fabricate biomimetic scaffolds. Therefore, a biopolymer blend composed of salmon gelatin (SG), chitosan (Ch), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was developed by electrospinning onto a micropatterned (MP) collector, resulting in a biomimetic scaffold for seeding muscle cells. Rheology and surface tension studies were performed to determine the optimum solution concentration and viscosity for electrospinning. The scaffold microstructure was analyzed using SEM to determine the nanofiber's diameter and orientation. Blends of SG/Ch/PVA exhibited better electrospinnability and handling properties than pure PVA. The resulting scaffolds consist of a porous surface (∼46%), composed of a random fiber distribution, for a flat collector and scaffolds with regions of aligned nanofibers for the MP collector. The nanofiber diameters are 141 ± 2 and 151 ± 2 nm for the flat and MP collector, respectively. In vitro studies showed that myoblasts cultured on scaffold SG/Ch/PVA presented a high rate of cell growth. Furthermore, the aligned nanofibers on the SG/Ch/PVA scaffold provide a suitable platform for myoblast alignment.

Hydrogels hold great potential for use in intelligent packaging, yet they often suffer from limited functionality and inadequate mechanical strength when applied to anticounterfeiting and freshness monitoring. In this study, we present a straightforward method to create a multifunctional hydrogel by in-situ polymerizing acrylic acid (PAA) within a gelatin-Al system. The resulting hydrogels exhibited an elongation at break of over 1200 %, a tensile stress of 1.

The consumption of raw or smoked fish entails significant microbiological risks, including contamination by pathogens such as , which can cause severe foodborne illnesses. This study explores the preservative use of piscicolin CM22, a novel bacteriocin derived from the psychrotolerant strain CM22, in two types of edible coatings (EC): chitosan-based and fish gelatin-based. An initial in vitro characterization of the technological and antimicrobial properties of these ECs with and without bacteriocin was conducted.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the antibacterial effects of a high-voltage prick electric field (HVPEF) on gelatin and various food items, revealing a 98% mortality rate on gelatin at 13 kV for 15 minutes, with a gradual decrease in bacterial survival over time.
- - HVPEF treatment resulted in significant cellular damage, including compromised cell membranes and disrupted nucleic acids, which increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and ultimately led to cell death due to DNA damage.
- - In terms of food safety, HVPEF drastically reduced bacteria on food surfaces (e.g., 91% on salmon), while maintaining the color and texture of the products; it also contributed to reduced spoilage indicators, potentially extending
Valorisation of salmon backbones: Extraction of gelatine and its applicability in biodegradable films.

Salmon backbones make up about 10 % of the total fish weight and contain valuable proteins, collagen and lipids that can be used for marine ingredients production. Gelatine is derived from the collagen fraction and this study evaluated how different fractionation and extraction procedures can affect the yield and composition of extracted gelatine. Fractionation by mild thermal treatment of backbones (10 min in 40-42 °C) leads to structural changes of muscle, which improves separation of meat from bones and gives better yield of de-muscled backbone fractionation compared to mechanical meat removal.

Neoterically, food packaging systems designed solely for prolonging shelf life or monitoring freshness could not fulfil the dynamic demands of consumers. In this current investigation, using the solvent casting method, a versatile halochromic indicator was created by integrating black currant anthocyanin and cinnamon essential oil-loaded Pickering emulsion into a starch/gelatin matrix. The resulting indicator film underwent scrutiny for its structural, pH-sensitive, antioxidant, and antimicrobial attributes.
