    Development of novel ecofriendly sodium alginate-gelrite gellan gum composite films: Effects of glycerol and sorbitol
    (Wiley, 2025) Bhatia, Saurabh; Khan, Talha Shireen; Alhadhrami, Aysha Salim; Chinnam, Sampath; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Philip, Anil K.; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed
    The current study investigated the impact of various concentrations of plasticizers, especially glycerol and sorbitol, on the physical and chemical characteristics, as well as the antioxidant capabilities, of films made from sodium alginate and gelrite gellan gum. The elongation at break and thickness of the film samples increased, while water vapor permeability, opacity, and tensile strength of the film samples decreased with the increase in concentration of plasticizers. Film samples became more transparent and glossier in nature with increasing concentrations of plasticizers. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that sorbitol-loaded films showed a smooth and homogenous structure as compared to glycerol-loaded film samples. The control film samples showed significantly higher antioxidant activity compared to the other film samples. Contact angle measurements demonstrated that the film samples became more hydrophilic with the addition of plasticizers. This study provides an overview of the role of plasticizers, including glycerol and sorbitol, in the fabrication and application of biopolymeric films for food packaging.Highlights Plasticizers increased EAB and thickness but decreased WVP, opacity, and TS. Films with higher plasticizer levels were more transparent and thinner. Sorbitol-loaded films were more homogenous than glycerol-loaded ones. Control films had higher antioxidant activity than plasticizer-added films. Increase in plasticizer level increased hydrophilicity of films

    Impregnation of Pectin-Sodium Caseinate Films with Lemongrass Essential Oil: Physical-Chemical, Antimicrobial, and Antioxidant Assessment
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Khan, Talha Shireen; Alhadhrami, Aysha Salim; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Philip, Anil K.; Diblan, Sevgin; Koca, Esra
    Biopolymers derived from natural resources have gained much interest in the past few decades to replace conventional nonbiodegradable petroleum-based packaging. Essential oils and plant extracts are frequently utilized for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties in the development of edible films and coatings serving as bioactive compounds. The current study investigated the impact of various concentrations of lemongrass essential oil (LEO) on the physical and chemical characteristics as well as the antioxidant capabilities of films made from sodium caseinate and pectin. The addition of LEO led to a decrease in mechanical parameters of film samples like elongation at break (EAB) decreased from 19.73 +/- 0.81 to 4.06 +/- 0.20 and tensile strength (TS) decreased from 11.16 +/- 0.81 to 2.43 +/- 0.08 but a rise in opacity (4.39 +/- 0.14 to 5.60 +/- 0.13), thickness (0.044 +/- 0.005 to 0.078 +/- 0.005), and water vapor permeability (WVP) (0.391 +/- 0.013 to 0.760 +/- 0.035) was observed. The gloss value of the film samples increased from 11.9 +/- 0.1 to 13.1 +/- 0.1, and haziness increased from 45.85 +/- 1.05 to 71.69 +/- 0.25 as the concentration of LEO increased, reducing their transparency (89.22 +/- 0.27-88.24 +/- 0.19). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed additional microstructural alterations in the films as a result of the addition of LEO. Furthermore, antimicrobial activity was detected in the PSC4 film sample against E. coli. The oil-loaded films showed significantly higher antioxidant activity of 40.41% compared to the control film sample, having 16.57% antioxidant activity. Contact angle measurements demonstrated that the film samples became more hydrophobic with the addition of LEO (55.52 degrees in the maximum LEO concentrated film). This study introduces a promising method for creating active food packaging materials for packaging applications.
