Towards a Bioactive Food Packaging: Poly(Lactic Acid) Surface Functionalized by Chitosan Coating Embedding Clove and Argan Oils

Here we introduce a new method aiming the immobilization of bioactive principles onto polymeric substrates, combining a surface activation and emulsion entrapment approach. Natural products with antimicrobial/antioxidant properties (essential oil from Syzygium aromaticum—clove and vegetal oil from Argania spinosa L—argan) were stabilized in emulsions with chitosan, a natural biodegradable polymer that has antimicrobial activity. The emulsions were laid on poly(lactic acid) (PLA), a synthetic biodegradable plastic from renewable resources, which was previously activated by plasma treatment. Bioactive materials were obtained, with low permeability for oxygen, high radical scavenging activity and strong inhibition of growth for Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli bacteria. Clove oil was better dispersed in a more stable emulsion (no separation after six months) compared with argan oil. This leads to a compact and finely structured coating, with better overall properties. While both clove and argan oils are highly hydrophobic, the coatings showed increased hydrophilicity, especially for argan, due to preferential interactions with different functional groups in chitosan. The PLA films coated with oil-loaded chitosan showed promising results in retarding the food spoilage of meat, and especially cheese. Argan, and in particular, clove oil offered good UV protection, suitable for sterilization purposes. Therefore, using the emulsion stabilization of bioactive principles and immobilization onto plasma activated polymeric surfaces we obtained a bioactive material that combines the physical properties and the biodegradability of PLA with the antibacterial activity of chitosan and the antioxidant function of vegetal oils. This prevents microbial growth and food oxidation and could open new perspectives in the field of food packaging materials.     

Plasma-mediated grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) on polyamide and polyester surfaces and evaluation of antifouling ability of modified substrates

A simple cold plasma technique was developed to functionalize the surfaces of polyamide (PA) and polyester (PET) for the grafting of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with the aim of reducing biofilm formation. The surfaces of PA and PET were treated with silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) plasma, and PEG was grafted onto plasma-functionalized substrates (PA-PEG, PET-PEG). Different molecular weights of PEG and grafting times were tested to obtain optimal surface coverage by PEG as monitored by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). The presence of a predominant C-O peak on the PEG-modified substrates indicated that the grafting was successful. Data from hydroxyl group derivatization and water contact angle measurement also indicated the presence of PEG after grafting. The PEG-grafted PA and PET under optimal conditions had similar chemical composition and hydrophilicity; however, different morphology changes were observed after grafting. Both PA-PEG and PET-PEG surfaces developed under optimal plasma conditions showed about 96% reduction in biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes compared with that of the corresponding unmodified substrates. This plasma functionalization method provided an efficient way to graft PEG onto PA and PET surfaces. Because of the high reactivity of Si-Cl species, this method could potentially be applied to other polymeric materials.     

壳多糖抑制细菌生长的构效关系

运用化学结构已清楚, 分属4大系列的29种壳多糖, 以4种不同类型的细菌(革兰氏阳性菌Ecoli K1、革兰氏阴性菌Bacillus cereus、Bacillus megaterium和Staphlylococcu aureus)为研究对象, 进行了壳多糖抑菌能力构效关系的研究. 在实验中采用96孔平板, 用计算机\|吸光值读数仪直接测定每个孔的吸光值, 获得了各个细菌在不同壳多糖浓度中的生长曲线和壳多糖抑制细菌生长的最低抑制浓度(MIC, Minimum inhibit concentration). 通过比较同一(各个)系列的壳多糖在这些相同(不同)细菌的MIC变化规律与壳多糖的化学结构的关系, 发现同一壳多糖对不同的细菌的MIC值是不相同的, 因而壳多糖抑制细菌生长的能力首先与细菌本身特点有关, 但与是否为革兰氏阳性菌或阴性菌无直接的相关性; 同一细菌对不同化学结构的壳多糖有一定的相关性, 在壳多糖的聚合程度(DP)相同的条件下, 壳多糖中氨基被乙酰化(DA)的程度越低, 壳多糖抑制细菌生长的MIC值越低, 壳多糖抑制细菌生长的能力就越强; 同样,在DA相同的情况下, 分子越小, 壳多糖抑制细菌生长的MIC值越低, 抑制细菌生长的能力越强. 根据上述实验结果, 初步推测壳多糖抑制细菌生长的机制可能与其在溶液中所带的正电荷多少有关.     

Antibacterial characteristics and activity of water-soluble chitosan derivatives prepared by the Maillard reaction

The antibacterial activity of water-soluble chitosan derivatives prepared by Maillard reactions against Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, and Salmonella typhimurium was examined. Relatively high antibacterial activity against various microorganisms was noted for the chitosan-glucosamine derivative as compared to the acid-soluble chitosan. In addition, it was found that the susceptibility of the test organisms to the water-soluble chitosan derivative was higher in deionized water than in saline solution. Metal ions were also found to reduce the antibacterial activity of the water-soluble chitosan derivative on S. aureus. The marked increase in glucose level, protein content and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was observed in the cell supernatant of S. aureus exposed to the water-soluble chitosan derivative in deionized water. The results suggest that the water-soluble chitosan produced by Maillard reaction may be a promising commercial substitute for acid-soluble chitosan.     

Chitosan‐capped sulfur microparticles grafted on UV‐treated PET surface

Antimicrobial materials with immobilized particles are of considerable interest. Sulfur, as one of the abundant elements on earth, is cheap and environmentally friendly; therefore, sulfur particles (SPs) can be used as an effective, nontoxic and low‐cost alternative to metal particles. SPs were prepared by precipitation method using sodium thiosulfate and hydrochloric acid in the presence of chitosan as a stabilizer. Further, SPs were grafted on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foil activated by ultraviolet radiation. The changes in surface properties of modified foils were characterized by contact angle measurement, electrokinetic analysis and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The contact angle decreased on the UV‐treated sample, owing to the formation of oxidized groups. The presence of nitrogen and sulfur on the polymer surface, revealed by XPS, showed that chitosan‐capped SPs were bound to this surface. The surface morphology of samples and particle sizes were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The size of SPs increased after grafting on surface to a few micrometres. The antibacterial activity of the PET samples was tested against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli bacteria strains. UV‐treated samples grafted with one of the tested chitosan‐capped SPs demonstrated antibacterial effect against both of the bacteria strains. This new nanocomposite has potential to be used in medical applications as an antibacterial agent or in food processing as an antimicrobial food packaging material. Food spoilage caused by microorganisms such as E. coli during distribution and storage has a major impact on food quality and shelf life.     

通过氧化改性提高载银活性炭的抗菌性能

Effect of immobilization of polysaccharides on the biocompatibility of poly(butyleneadipate‐co‐terephthalate) films

Aiming to improve the hydrophilicity, antibacterial activity, cytocompatibility, and hemocompatibility of poly(butyleneadipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) films, PBAT films were treated with ozone, grafted with chitosan (CS), and followed by covalent immobilization of either heparin (HEP) or hyaluronic acid (HA). The surface graft density of modified PBAT films was detected by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and dyeing. The surface roughness of PBAT films was measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM). After immobilizing CS, PBAT films acquired antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The adsorption of human serum albumin (HSA) and human plasma fibrinogen (HPF) on PBAT–CS–HEP and PBAT–CS–HA films was lower compared to that of native PBAT. Moreover, HEP immobilization could effectively reduce platelet adhesion and prolong the blood coagulation time, thereby improving the blood compatibility of PBAT. In addition, the growth of L929 fibroblasts was improved for HEP or HA immobilized PBAT, suggesting this surface modification was non‐cytotoxic. Furthermore, PBAT–CS–HEP and PBAT–CS–HA exhibited higher cell proliferation than native PBAT. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Antibacterial mechanism of chitosan microspheres in a solid dispersing system against E. coli

In this study, we investigated the antibacterial mechanism through the interfacial contacting inhibition behaviors of chitosan antimicrobials against Escherichia coli in solid dispersing state. Chitosan microspheres (CMs) were prepared by emulsification cross-linking reaction, and oleoyl-CMs (OCMs) were obtained by introduction of oleoyl groups to the chitosan. The CMs were with smooth surface and spherical shape of diameter of about 124 microm. The antibacterial activity was directly proportional to the concentration and the hydrophobic property of CMs. The fluorescence experiments indicated CMs had influenced the structure of membrane, especially the OCMs were speculated to interact with proteins on the cell membrane. SEM photographs showed E. coli adhered to the surface of the CMs and provided evidences for the disruption of the cells, while the bacterium conglomerated on the surface of the OCMs. The CMs changed the permeability of membrane and caused cellular leakage that correlated with the hydrophobic interaction between CMs and cytoplasmic membrane phospholipids of Gram-negative bacteria. Solid dispersing system makes the antibacterial activities of CMs counted as a sequent event-driven to study the antibacterial mechanism of chitosan originally.     

Antibacterial activity of silver bionanocomposites synthesized by chemical reduction route

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to investigate the functions of polymers and size of nanoparticles on the antibacterial activity of silver bionanocomposites (Ag BNCs). In this research, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were incorporated into biodegradable polymers that are chitosan, gelatin and both polymers via chemical reduction method in solvent in order to produce Ag BNCs. Silver nitrate and sodium borohydride were employed as a metal precursor and reducing agent respectively. On the other hand, chitosan and gelatin were added as a polymeric matrix and stabilizer. The antibacterial activity of different sizes of silver nanoparticles was investigated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by the disk diffusion method using Mueller-Hinton Agar. RESULTS: The properties of Ag BNCs were studied as a function of the polymer weight ratio in relation to the use of chitosan and gelatin. The morphology of the Ag BNCs films and the distribution of the Ag NPs were also characterized. The diameters of the Ag NPs were measured and their size is less than 20 nm. The antibacterial trait of silver/chitosan/gelatin bionanocomposites was investigated. The silver ions released from the Ag BNCs and their antibacterial activities were scrutinized. The antibacterial activities of the Ag BNC films were examined against Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli and P. aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (S. aureus and M. luteus) by diffusion method using Muller-Hinton agar. CONCLUSIONS: The antibacterial activity of Ag NPs with size less than 20 nm was demonstrated and showed positive results against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The Ag NPs stabilized well in the polymers matrix.
