Pomegranate Peel Polyphenols-incorporated PVA/CMC Hydrogels for High-efficiency Removal of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solutions

PVA/chitosan electrospun nanofiber membranes loaded with cyclodextrin-encapsulated Scutellaria baicalensis extract for grape preservation

Abstract Extracts from untreated and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP)-pretreated Scutellaria baicalensis were complexed with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan (PVA/CS) electrospun nanofiber membranes for grape preservation. 1H NMR supported host–guest inclusion, wher...

Construction of multifunctional Gel/PVA/CS/DPTF composite films based on green NADES system and its application in fruit preservation.

Postharvest fruit spoilage and plastic-packaging pollution highlight the need for green, biodegradable active packaging with balanced mechanical and preservation performance. In this study, a choline chloride-lactic acid (ChCl-LA) natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) system was used to obtain a NADES-loaded total flav...

Fabrication and Characterization of Guar Gum–Chitosan–Polyvinyl Alcohol–Tannic Acid–Silver‐Nanocomposite Films for Extending Fruit Shelf Life

This research presents a sustainable film prepared by the solvent casting method, integrating tannic acid (Tn) into a composite matrix of guar gum, chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol, and silver nanoparticles (GG–CH–PVA–Tn–AgNP) for the preservation of fresh bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. With silver nanoparticles,...

Carboxymethyl glucuronoxylan /PVA/nano ZnO composite films for blueberry preservation: The effects of nano-ZnO on the packaging properties of the composite films.

Fruits are susceptible to deterioration during storage, while petroleum-based plastics cause environmental concerns. In this study, carboxymethyl xylan (CMX) was synthesized and blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nano-ZnO to fabricate multifunctional composite films via solution casting for blueberry preservation...

Postbiotic polysaccharide and peptide-enriched electrospun nanofibers based on polycaprolactone/ethyl cellulose/sodium alginate as bioactive macromolecular matrices for aflatoxin M1 adsorption in milk

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination in dairy products raises many food safety concerns due to its toxicity and resistance to conventional processes. In this study, a novel bio-based adsorption system was developed using electrospun polycaprolactone/ethyl cellulose/sodium alginate (PCL/EC/SA) nanofibers (NFs) incorpor...

Grape pomace oil loaded PLA electrospun fibers: characterization and evaluation as promising novel bioactive wound dressing
