چکیده

Based on the antimicrobial action of nano-silver, a number of “active” FCMs have been developed that are claimed to extend the shelf-life of food by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. As commercialization of nano-silver grows, the public and the governments become more concerned about the safety and environmental effects of the widespread use of products containing nano-silver [2]. Several studies have been carried out and they demonstrated the toxicity of nano-silver, which is proved to be hazardous to different kind of cells and edible plants [3-5].

Nanoparticle release from nano-silver antimicrobial food containers.

Polymer nanocomposites incorporating metal or metal oxide nanoparticles have been developed to improve their characteristics (flexibility, gas barrier properties, antimicrobial or antioxidant properties, etc.). Among them silver nanoparticles are used because of their antimicrobial effect in many daily life materials, i.e. food packaging. However, there is not any reference to the migration of ...

Evaluation of the antibacterial effects of Ag-Tio2 nanoparticles and optimization of its migration to sturgeon caviar (Beluga)

Effect of nano composite films to prolong the shelf life of Iranian beluga caviar was investigated at different concentrations of silver nanoparticles. In this study 38 caviar packs each containing 5 g of caviar were divided into 6 treatments with 3 replicates. The concentrations of 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 and 6000 ppm of nanoparticles as well as a nano free pack as control were used. The ...

Nano-biocomposite films with modified cellulose nanocrystals and synthesized silver nanoparticles.

Ternary nano-biocomposite films based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with modified cellulose nanocrystals (s-CNC) and synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag) have been prepared and characterized. The functionalization of the CNC surface with an acid phosphate ester of ethoxylated nonylphenol favoured its dispersion in the PLA matrix. The positive effects of the addition of cellulose and silver on the...

Migration Assessment and Modeling from Poly Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) Packaging Containers into Soft Drinks

Background & objectives: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers have many applications in the food industry. Although there are numerous advantages for PET it also has some disadvantages, one of which is the migration of materials from the container into the material inside. In this study, the effect of two factors of storage time and temperature on the migration rate was evaluated and mod...
