    Study Notes

    Investigation of Antibacterial Activity of Chitosan

    • Chitosan-based biodegradable functional films have been developed for food packaging applications
    • Chitosan-based UV barrier composite films have been reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals for sustainable packaging
    • Halochromic and antioxidant capacity of smart films of chitosan/chitin nanocrystals with curcuma oil and anthocyanins have been investigated

    Anthocyanins and their Applications

    • Anthocyanins are a type of polyphenol, a subgroup of flavonoids, with over 600 identified types
    • The six most common anthocyanidins are cyanidin, pelargonidin, delphinidin, petunidin, peonidin, and malvidin
    • Anthocyanins can be found in various chemical structures and colors depending on the pH of the solution
    • Cyanidin-3-glucoside is one of the most common anthocyanins in black rice, black bean, and many berries
    • Anthocyanins have been used in the development of smart packaging films that change color in response to changes in pH

    Smart Packaging Films

    • Smart packaging films have been developed to monitor food freshness and quality
    • These films are based on biodegradable materials such as chitosan, starch, and polyvinyl alcohol
    • Anthocyanin-rich extracts have been incorporated into smart packaging films to create pH-sensitive indicators
    • The films change color in response to changes in pH, indicating the freshness and quality of the packaged food

    Biodegradable Materials for Food Packaging

    • Biodegradable materials such as chitosan, starch, and polyvinyl alcohol have been used in food packaging applications
    • These materials are more environmentally friendly than synthetic materials
    • Biodegradable materials have been reinforced with nanomaterials such as cellulose nanocrystals and nanoparticles to improve their properties

    Food Quality and Safety Monitoring

    • Smart packaging films have been used to monitor food quality and safety
    • The films provide a visible indication of food freshness and quality, allowing consumers to make informed decisions
    • The use of biodegradable materials and natural substances such as anthocyanins has been driven by consumer demand for more environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging solutions
