Abstract:
... We conducted a study on the antibacterial effect of dielectric barrier discharge plasma (DBDP) treatment on Escherichia coli and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which cause food poisoning on the surface of polypropylene (PP) plastic containers. The initial concentrations of E. coli on PP plastic surfaces were 7.02 log CFU/coupon, and 6.50–5.37 log CFU/coupon in 5–60 min of DBDP treatment, respectively. I ...
... Although nanocomposite films had shown excellent potential in antibacterial food packaging, their potential harmful impact limits their further application in reality. Therefore, exploring a Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) nanomaterial that has antibacterial ability is the pioneer for the fabrication of a real edible nanocomposite-based antibacterial packaging film. Herein, for the first time ...
... Antibiotic production wastewater usually contains high concentrations of antibiotic residues, which can cause instability and deterioration of biological wastewater treatment units and also domestication and proliferation of antibiotic-resistance bacteria. An effective pretreatment on antibiotics production wastewater is expected to selectively reduce the concentration of antibiotics and decrease ...

Most of the hot springs present in Fiji are unexplored and their analysis of microbial diversity could be of great interest in facilitating various industrial, agricultural and medicinal applications. This study is an attempt to evaluate the heavy ...
... Recently, intelligent packaging has emerged for monitoring food quality in food industry. This study aimed to develop the electrospun HACC/PCL/SKN nanofibrous films with improved antimicrobial and antioxidant activity as intelligent packaging to monitor food freshness. The SKN loading resulted in nanoscale uniform fibers (approximately 55.0 nm), and the HACC/PCL/SKN nanofibrous films presented imp ...
... The regular release kinetics of active ingredients is inconsistent with the demand of meat preservation. Herein, the pH-triggered dynamic mechanism of packaging film was developed based on L100 polymer incorporated with Cinnamon essential oil (CEO) by coaxial electrospinning. The acquired results revealed that UV–vis and fluorescence spectra confirmed the pH release behavior. The fabricated film w ...
... As the most typical example of mRNA variable splicing, Down Syndrome Cell Adhesion Molecule (Dscam) can produce a large number of mRNA isomers. It plays an important role not only in the nervous system, but also in the immune system. In Eriocheir sinensis, the extracellular region of Dscam has three variable domains, which can produce 25, 34 and 18 exons and encode the N-terminal region of immunog ...

Abstract:
... It is highly desirable to develop intelligent active packaging films with ammonia-sensitive performance to maintain and monitor the freshness of meat food as the ever-increasing requirement for food safe. Herein, novel cobalt-based metal-organic framework (Co-MOF) nanoparticles with ammonia-sensitive and antibacterial functions were successfully synthesized and then introduced into sodium alginate ...

Abstract:
... Chitosan (CS) films have demonstrated strong antibacterial properties, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, but poor UV blocking, oxygen and water barrier and mechanical properties limit their application in antimicrobial food packaging. In this study, CS films were incorporated with nanofillers, including lignin nanoparticles (LNP, 1–5 wt %) and acylated soy protein isolate nanogel (A ...

Abstract:
... Currently, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are widely used as antibacterial agents, and their effects are dependent on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photodynamic and peroxidase activities. Nevertheless, the supply of substrates or light greatly limits GQDs application. Besides, due to compensatory mechanisms in bacteria, comprehensive analysis of the molecular mechanism underlying th ...

Abstract:
... Nanoliposomes are ideal nanocarriers for encapsulated active compounds used in the food industry as they provide stability and controlled release. However, cholesterol may pose risks in large intake, which is the commonly-used nanoliposome stabilizers. In this study, resveratrol was used instead of cholesterol as a novel nanoliposome stabilizer to construct a resveratrol blank liposome (RBL) syste ...

Abstract:
... Streptococcus mutans a key pathogen, produces biofilm, acids and extracellular polysaccharides in the oral cavity; which leads to the development of dental caries. Control of these pathogenic markers can prevent dental caries. Uvaria chamae P. Beauv. is a medicinal plant traditionally used for many ailments including oral infections. Root, leaves and bark extracts has proven antibacterial activity ...

Checkerboa ...
... Two kinds of N-hydrophobic-O-hydrophilic chitosan derivatives, N-2-hydroxypropyl-3-butyl ether-O-carboxymethyl chitosan (HBCC) and N-2-hydroxypropyl-3-(2-ethylhexyl glycidyl ether)-O-carboxymethyl chitosan (H2ECC) were synthesized and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to prepare HBCC and H2ECC films. The properties of the cross-linked films, including microstructure, mechanical properties, water va ...
... As a new type of environmental pollutant, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a huge challenge to global health. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) represents an important route for the spread of ARGs. The widespread use of sulfamethazine (SM2) as a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent leads to high residual levels in the environment, thereby increasing the spread of ARGs. Therefore, we chose to st ...
