Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is naturally present in the environment and can easily contaminate packaged foods during processing, storage and transportation, thus posing a threat to human health. We have developed an enzyme-free FB1 detector for the detection of packaged foods, which provides rapid and sensitive detection of FB1 in food. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs; 5-10 nm) were uniformly dispersed on screen-printed electrodes, which acted as an excellent catalytic oxidizer. The surface structure of the modified electrode was characterized using scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Differential pulse voltammetry demonstrated a good linear electrochemical response towards FB1 at concentrations ranging from 1 ng L to 1 mg L with a detection limit of 0.08 ng L. We employed the AuNPs-SPE sensor to detect FB1-spiked packaged meat products achieving recovery rates ranging from 89.7% to 113.3%.

Today, active packaging has become essential to increase food safety and decrease food spoilage. In this study, the aim was to delay spoilage and increase the shelf life of rainbow fish fillets with a new hybrid nanocomposite active packaging. Packaging was fabricated with Ethylene vinyl acetate and active compounds such as rosemary extract, zinc oxide nanoparticles, and modified iron (Fe-MMT).

Although Tara tannins (TT) have given soy protein isolate (SPI) film antioxidant properties, the mechanical and barrier properties were not significantly improved. In this work, dialdehyde cellulose nanofibers (DACNF) were obtained through oxidation using sodium periodate and incorporated into SPI film with TT to obtain antioxidant and bacteriostatic properties. With increased DACNF content, the anti-swelling, mechanical and barrier properties of SPI film were enhanced due to a double-crosslinked structure based on the covalent and hydrogen bonds formed between DACNF, TT and SPI.

The current study aimed to synthesize a ZIF-8 metal-organic framework loaded with the Rose Bengal (ZIF-8@RB) as the photodynamic sterilization ingredient to address the uncontrolled release of active ingredients in packaging films. The photodynamic controlled release packaging film was then prepared using a PVDF polymer matrix via uniaxial electrospinning. The microstructure, particle size, excitation wavelength, and singlet oxygen yield of ZIF-8@RB were examined.

The main objective of this study is to prepare sodium alginate (SA)-based biofilms incorporated with watercress oil (WCO) as an antimicrobial material for sustainable food packaging. The physicochemical, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties of the prepared bio-based films were investigated. The antioxidant activity showed a remarkable increase, with DPPH inhibition increasing from 13.
