In the process of storage and processing, food will be affected by the external environment and reduce its quality, such as light, water, oxygen, microorganisms, etc. Barrier packaging is needed to shield the adverse effects of the external environment. Polysaccharide macromolecules are rich in active sites, which gives them designable properties, and therefore have been widely studied by researchers in the field of barrier packaging films. In view of the previous researchers, this paper reviews the recent progress of polysaccharide-based barrier composite films (cellulose, starch, chitosan, xylan, sodium alginate, agar, pullulan etc.). Firstly, summarizes and analyzes the types of food packaging barrier and the principle, and then this paper focuses on various types of polysaccharide-based barrier packaging materials, from the design, preparation, performance to the application, and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the polysaccharides and synergism with other substances to improve the barrier properties of composite films. The paper aims at exploring the application value of biomass polysaccharides as high-barrier film materials and providing theoretical references for further research on biomass polysaccharide-based high-barrier composite film.

Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials for Polymer-Based Packaging Applications: A Colloidal Perspective.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

February 2025

Key Laboratory of Polymer Chemistry and Physics of Ministry of Education, School of Material Science and Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China.

The integration of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials into polymer-based packaging presents a promising avenue for sustainable, high-performance materials. This perspective explores the roles of colloidal interactions in the assembly of 2D materials into thin films for packaging applications. We begin by analyzing the types of colloidal forces present in 2D nanomaterials and their impact on dispersion and stability.

Using phylogenetic data for island biogeography analyses: The DAISIEprep package.

Mol Phylogenet Evol

March 2025

Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences, University of Groningen, Box 11103, 9700 CC Groningen, the Netherlands; Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Darwinweg 2, 2333 CR Leiden, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

New methodologies to infer past evolutionary, ecological and biogeographical processes from molecular phylogenies are rapidly being developed. However, these often employ unfamiliar data structures that may pose a barrier to their use. DAISIE (Dynamic Assembly of Islands through Speciation, Immigration and Extinction) is an island biogeography model that can estimate rates of colonisation, speciation and extinction from molecular phylogenetic data across insular assemblages.

The research on finding alternative natural and inexpensive materials for the development of biodegradable intelligent food packaging materials is increasing day by day to reduce plastic waste in the environment. In this study, new oak tree acorn starch-based films (S) with pH-sensitive and antimicrobial property were developed using oak tree acorns, quercetin (QUE) extract obtained from red onion peel and ZnO nanoparticles and their physicochemical, mechanical, thermal and barrier properties were compared with those of methyl cellulose-based films. S-QUE film having colorimetric pH-indicator property showed an obvious color variation from pink to green/yellow at different pH values (pH 1-12).

Background: During pregnancy, labour and early motherhood, most women in the UK receive care from different midwives. NHS policy change in England sought to introduce a model of care whereby each woman is cared for by the same midwife throughout antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods, supported by a small team of midwives to cover off-duty periods. This model is called the Midwifery Continuity of Carer (MCoC).

Background: Freshwater megafishes are among some of the most commercially and ecologically important aquatic organisms yet are disproportionately threatened with range and population reduction. Anthropogenic alterations of rivers influencing migrations are among the most significant causes for these declines. However, migratory fishes do not always respond similarly to movement barriers and thus it is necessary to develop models to predict movements of freshwater migratory fishes in the face of anthropogenic alteration.
