Title Sustainable chitosan nanoemulsion coatings/films with agri-food byproducts: advances, composition, production methods and applications in food preservation
Year 2024
Published Journal Of Food Measurement And Characterization, 18.0, 3
Abstract Food loss and waste are a major concern globally and represent a challenge for food systems' sustainability. The application of natural, edible, and environment-friendly materials for food preservation emerges as a potential alternative to chemical additives, representing a promising strategy. Chitosan is a green biopolymer obtained from marine waste and promoted for excellent biological properties which makes it suitable for food preservation applications. Chitosan nanoemulsions in particular yield multifaceted benefits such as droplet size reduction, improved solubility, stability, and biological activity, and also provide room to integrate a wide array of derivatives from food processing wastes and byproducts. Within the context of a circular economy approach, these wastes and byproducts can be used for upscaling the potential functionality of chitosan nanoemulsions to induce a synergetic effect for preserving different food quality parameters. This article summarizes the most important information on formulation, fabrication, and advancements in chitosan-based nanoemulsions highlighting their potential benefit for food preservation applications. Reviewing the all-around executions of chitosan nanoemulsions for various food systems, the current review has been framed to lay down understandings regarding improvements made in the production and functionality of chitosan nanoemulsions for extending the shelf life, managing quality, and reducing the losses of perishables for achieving a sustainable economy.
