    Active packaging is crucial for extending shelf life, maintaining food quality, and reducing reliance on synthetic preservatives by preventing spoilage, oxidation, and microbial contamination. In this study, boswellic acid (BA) and acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) were isolated from the oleo-gum resin of Boswellia sacra and incorporated into the pectin and kappa-carrageenan-based films for active packaging. The fabricated films were analyzed to examine the effect of these active compounds on the mechanical, optical, barrier, chemical, structural, hydrophobic, and antioxidant properties. The incorporation of AKBA and BA into the films resulted in a decrease in transparency and tensile strength; however, the elongation at break did not show any significant variations. The film samples exhibited improved antioxidant properties as confirmed by DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities. The Delta E value represented the overall color difference in AKBA- and BA-loaded films as compared with the blank film sample. The FTIR spectrum of AKBA- and BA-loaded films exhibited shifts and intensity changes, suggesting the intermolecular interaction within the film matrix. Moreover, the water contact angle measurements revealed that the films containing AKBA showed a noticeable increase in contact angles, reflecting an enhancement in hydrophobicity. The current study offers a valuable approach for developing active packaging films with potential applications in food packaging.

    Extraction and applications of frankincense oleoresin as functional ingredient in pectin/sodium-alginate composite films for active packaging
    (Elsevier, 2025) Shah, Yasir Abbas; Bhatia, Saurabh; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Tarahi, Mohammad; Jawad, Muhammad; Alam, Tanveer; Diblan, Sevgin; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Thekkuden, Dinu Thomas; Imam, Faisal; Al-Harbi, Naif
    The composite films fabricated by incorporating frankincense oleoresin (FOR) into pectin and sodium alginate matrices, were underwent several analysis including thickness, mechanical strength, barrier properties, color attributes, morphological structure, surface roughness, chemical composition, crystalline nature, as well as evaluations of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The findings of the study indicated an increase in the thickness of the film samples with the addition of FOR however reduction in both tensile strength (from 9.59 to 2.58 MPa) and elongation at break (from 9.85 % to 3.22 %) was observed. The water vapor permeability of the developed films demonstrated an increase from 0.411 to 0.878 (g*mm)/(m2*h*kPa). Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) imaging results indicated a reduction in the surface roughness of films upon the addition of FOR. Additionally, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra unveiled chemical interactions between the film-forming polymers and FOR. Furthermore, a significant enhancement in the antioxidant activity was observed in films incorporating FOR, compared to the control group. These FOR-loaded film samples demonstrated antimicrobial effects against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while no inhibitory zones were observed against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. In summary, the outcomes of this investigation highlight the promising potential of pectin/sodium alginate composite films containing FOR in packaging applications.

    Myrrh Oleo-Gum Resin as a Functional Additive in Pectin and ?-Carrageenan Composite Films for Food Packaging
    (Wiley, 2024) Shah, Yasir Abbas; Bhatia, Saurabh; Chinnam, Sampath; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Tarahi, Mohammad; Khan, Talha Shireen; Alam, Tanveer
    Myrrh oleo-gum-resin (MOGR) is a natural substance that has a rich history of medicinal use due to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. The present study reports on the fabrication and assessment of pectin and K-carrageenan composite films infused with varying proportions (0.3%, 0.5%, and 0.7%) of MOGR. Morphological analysis of the film samples was conducted using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The results indicated that the introduction of MOGR led to a notable increase in surface roughness. The SEM micrographs of the films showed that the MOGR addition had an important effect on the microstructure of the film. The surface hydrophobicity of the MOGR-loaded films increased, as confirmed by the rise in the contact angle. Moreover, there was an increase in the thickness (0.062 +/- 0.004-0.095 +/- 0.006 mm) and opacity (1.24 +/- 0.07-9.41 +/- 0.24) of the films with the addition of MOGR; however, tensile strength (7.30 +/- 0.50-4.92 +/- 0.34 MPa), elongation at break (32.41% +/- 1.0%-29.70% +/- 0.24%), and barrier properties decreased. Additionally, a rise in MOGR concentration corresponded to a rise in overall color difference Delta E (0.77 +/- 0.03-5.09 +/- 0.49) of the films. Notably, the incorporation of MOGR led to an increase in the antioxidant activity of the composite films, indicating potential applications in functional packaging materials.
