Zein/chitosan Janus film incorporated with tannic acid and cinnamon essential oil co-loaded Pickering emulsion for sustained controlled release and pork preservation.

The development of active packaging offers a promising approach to reducing food waste. However, challenges remain, particularly in achieving efficient release dynamics of active compounds and balancing the barrier properties. Herein, a Janus structure zein/chitosan film is custom designed by layer-by-layer casting method to achieve sustainable and unidirectional release performance of antimicrobial agent, which comprises an inner loading layer of tannic acid (TA) and cinnamon essential oil (CEO) co-loaded Pickering emulsion incorporated with chitosan and an outer barrier layer of zein. The good interfacial compatibility between the entities of Pickering emulsion/chitosan loading layer and zein barrier layer had be confirmed via physicochemical structure characterization. The lower swelling rate of Pickering emulsion/chitosan film (47.61 %-51.71 %) indicated the sustained and stable release rate of substances from the inner loading layer, while the zein barrier layer restricted the diffusion of active molecules due to the high swelling rate (162.52 %). In addition, the films showed excellent antimicrobial activity (>99 % against key foodborne pathogens) and radical scavenging activity (2.5-fold enhancement). Moreover, the film loading layer showed predominantly controlled by a quasi-Fickian diffusion, and prolonged the shelf life of pork by 6 days under the unidirectional sustained release. Our work presents a promising fabrication strategy of antimicrobial packaging film with sustainable release performance for food preservation.

Tilapia gelatin films by incorporating metal-polyphenol network formed by procyanidin and zinc ion for pork preservation

There is a lack of information about the application of metal polyphenol networks (MPN) in the food industry nowadays. Herein, the MPN was prepared by procyanidin (PC) and zinc ion (Zn2+), and introduced into tilapia gelatin films. The MPN-modified films showed broader thickness, higher UV-Vis light barrier property, and lower water sensitivity and water vapor property than PC-modified films. When the molar ratio of Zn2+ to PC being 3:8, the incorporation of MPN induced the highest tensile strength of films reaching 82.47 MPa, good activity against oxidation, and improved inhibition activity to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The MPN-modified gelatin films could suppress the bacteria growth, and attenuate the generation of total volatile basic nitrogen and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, causing the shelf life of pork extended by five and three days compared with the control and PC-modified films, respectively. The results suggested that MPN provided great potential in the application of food packaging.

Preparation of curcumin-loaded chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol intelligent active films for food packaging and freshness monitoring

To fulfill the current need for intelligent active food packaging. This study incorporated the curcumin inclusion complexes (CUR-CD) into chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol polymer to develop a new intelligent active film. The structures of films were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and so on. The CP-Cur150 film displays exceptional mechanical properties, water vapor barrier, and UV blocking capabilities as demonstrated by physical analysis. The CP-Cur150 film exhibited free radical scavenging rates on 2,2-diazo-di-3-ethylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfonic (ABTS) (98 %) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (87 %). Additionally, it showed inhibitory effects on Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), reducing live colony counts by approximately 2.7 and 1.3 Log10 CFU/mL, respectively. The films were used to monitor the shrimp's freshness in real time. With the spoilage of shrimp, the film exhibited clear color fluctuations, from light yellow to red. In addition, the evaluation of the impact of films on pork pH, total volatile basic nitrogen, and total bacterial counts demonstrated that the CP-Cur150 film displayed the most significant effectiveness in preserving freshness, thereby extending the shelf life of pork.

AIE-doped agar-based photodynamic sterilization film for antimicrobial food wrapping

Agar film for food wrapping is popular because of its low price, edible and strong biodegradability. However, there are still many problems in the application of agar film, such as no antibacterial performance. To address the problem, we designed and synthesized a novel photodynamic bactericidal aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule, then mixed it into agar to prepare a composite film, which made the agar film have antimicrobial properties. Due to the antimicrobial ability of the AIE molecules, the agar-based composite film doped with AIE has a good inhibitory effect on E. coli, S. aureus, C. albicans, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa and P. leiognathi. The actual fresh-keeping performance of wrapped pork was evaluated, and the results showed that it could extend the shelf life of pork to more than 8 days. In addition, the light transmittance, mechanical properties, water resistance, water permeability and thermal stability of the composite film remain good. Therefore, the application of AIE-doped agar-based film in food antimicrobial wrapping materials has a good prospect.

The shelf life of pork depends on its quality and microbial and non-microbial meat destructors

This work aimed to establish the maximum shelf life of pork of different quality classes depending on the action of non-microbial and microbial destructors. To achieve this goal, samples were taken from the longest back muscles of domestic and industrial pig carcasses. Depending on the results of organoleptic research, pork was divided into three quality classes: 1) NOR (close to optimal quality indicators), 2) PSE (pale, soft, exudative), and 3) DFD (dark, firm, dry). After that, each of the samples was divided into 1 equal parts and placed for storage in a refrigerator (t = 3 ± 1 °C). Each day, one part of the samples was used for laboratory research. The purpose of laboratory research was to establish the freshness of meat by determining the reaction to peroxidase, amino-ammonia nitrogen, reaction to ammonia with Nessler's reagent, and the content of short-chain fatty acids. In addition, the level of MAFAnM was determined. The results of laboratory studies showed that the fastest signs of spoilage were registered in pork, with signs of PSE obtained after the slaughter of pigs on small farms. The first signs of deterioration appeared already on the sixth day of storage. The second fastest spoilage rate (on the eighth day) was meat samples of the PSE quality class taken from pigs of industrial origin. At the same time, the highest increase in microbial contamination during storage was registered in meat samples of industrial origin with signs of DFD. We found that the microbial contamination of pork depends not only on the initial contamination at the production site but also on the quality class of the meat. On the 12th day of pork storage, only NOR-class meat samples of industrial origin remained fresh. Comparing meat samples of the same quality classes, asserting a shorter shelf life and a higher risk of meat products obtained due to domestic origin and backyard slaughter of pigs is possible. The main reason is a combination of factors, the main of which are the impossibility of observing proper hygienic conditions for animal slaughter, poor bleeding, unbalanced diet, and others.

Assessing the Effects of Cold Atmospheric Plasma on the Natural Microbiota and Quality of Pork during Storage.

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a novel non-thermal technology with significant potential for use in meat processing to prolong shelf life. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of CAP treatment on the natural microbiota and quality traits of pork stored for 8 days at 4 °C. CAP treatment was applied by employing piezoelectric direct discharge technology to treat pork samples for 0, 3, 6, and 9 min. Reductions of approximately 0.8-1.7 log CFU/g were observed in total viable counts (TVC) and Pseudomonas spp. levels for CAP treatments longer than 3 min, immediately after treatment. A storage study revealed that CAP-treated pork (>6 min) had significantly lower levels of TVC, Pseudomonas spp., and Enterobacteriaceae throughout storage. Regarding quality traits, CAP application for longer than 3 min significantly increased water retention and yellowness and decreased meat redness compared to untreated pork. However, other parameters such as pH, tenderness, and lightness exhibited no statistically significant differences between untreated and CAP-treated pork. Lipid oxidation levels were higher only for the 9-min treatment compared to untreated pork. Our results revealed that CAP is a promising technology that can extend the microbiological shelf life of pork during refrigeration storage.

Isoreticular metal-organic framework-3 post-synthetic modification: Application in a new active film based on sodium alginate and carvacrol for pork preservation

To achieve long-term effective protection of food by continuously controlling the release of active substances in an active film, IRMOF-3 was post-synthetic modified with benzoic acid (BA) to obtain BA-IRMOF-3. This modification enhanced the loading capacity of carvacrol (CA) and slowed down its release rate. Research on IRMOF-3 synthesis has found that increasing the proportion of metal nodes can improve its crystallinity. The post-synthesis modification of IRMOF-3 through amide reaction successfully enhanced the binding energy with CA from −5.1 kcal/mol to −6 kcal/mol, resulting in an improved CA loading rate of 28.62% ± 0.15% and delayed release. Furthermore, the BA-IRMOF-3/CA assembly was added to the sodium alginate matrix to prepare the active film BMC@SA, which improved the mechanical and physical properties of the film. The release and antibacterial/antioxidant properties were investigated. The results demonstrated that the active film BMC@SA exhibited significant sustained-release properties and antibacterial/antioxidant activities, reducing the growth of E. coli and S. aureus by 61.95% and 49.33% respectively. In refrigerated pork experiments, the film BMC@SA slowed down the color, weight, pH changes and inhibited microbial growth of fresh pork effectively, and extended the shelf life of pork from 6 d to 12 d, which demonstrated the potential application of active film BMC@SA in food preservation.

A Colorimetric Nanofiber Film Based on Ethyl Cellulose/Gelatin/Purple Sweet Potato Anthocyanins for Monitoring Pork Freshness.

In this study, colorimetric indicator nanofiber films based on ethyl cellulose (EC)/gelatin (G) incorporating purple sweet potato anthocyanins (PSPAs) were designed via electrospinning technology for monitoring and maintaining the freshness of pork. The film presented good structural integrity and stability in a humid environment with water vapor permeability (WVP) of 6.07 ± 0.14 × 10-11 g·m-1s-1Pa-1 and water contact angle (WCA) of 81.62 ± 1.43°. When PSPAs were added into the nanofiber films, the antioxidant capacity was significantly improved (p < 0.05) with a DPPH radical scavenging rate of 68.61 ± 1.80%. The nanofiber films showed distinguishable color changes as pH changes and was highly sensitive to volatile ammonia than that of casting films. In the application test, the film color changed from light pink (fresh stage) to light brown (secondary freshness stage) and then to brownish green (spoilage stage), indicating that the nanofiber films can be used to detect the real-time freshness of pork during storage. Meanwhile, it could prolong the shelf life of pork by inhibiting the oxidation degree. Hence, these results suggested that the EC/G/PSPA film has promising future for monitoring freshness and extending shelf life of pork.

Application of chitosan films incorporated with Zanthoxylum limonella essential oil for extending shelf life of pork

This study aimed to produce chitosan films incorporated with Zanthoxylum limonella essential oil for extending shelf life. The volatile compounds of Z. limonella essential oil were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry consisting of limonene, α-phellandrene, ρ-cymene, and sabinene as major compounds. In this study, the addition of Z. limonella essential oil at concentrations of 0 %, 2 %, and 4 % in chitosan film was assessed for its antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Chitosan film incorporated with 4 % essential oil demonstrated the most significant antibacterial effect against E. coli and S. aureus in comparison to the chitosan film without essential oil due to the synergistic effects on antibacterial activity. The physical and mechanical properties of the chitosan films incorporated with Z. limonella oil developed were also assessed. The addition of essential oil to chitosan films led to improvements in mechanical strength and flexibility, while minimal changes were observed in terms of water solubility, water vapor permeability, and thermal stability. The findings emphasize that this innovative film not only extends the shelf life of pork without chemical preservatives but is also a fully bio-based material. Consequently, it shows great potential to be used as active packaging within the food industry.

Preparation of a Dual-Functional Active Film Based on Bilayer Hydrogel and Red Cabbage Anthocyanin for Maintaining and Monitoring Pork Freshness.

In this study, a composite film was created with the dual goal of prolonging pork shelf life and showing freshness. Hydrogel materials as solid base films were selected from gelatin (G), sodium alginate (SA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) based on their antioxidant activity, water vapor permeability, mechanical properties, as well as their stability, antimicrobial activity, and freshness, which indicates effectiveness when combined with anthocyanins. Furthermore, the effects of several concentrations of red cabbage anthocyanin (R) (3%, 6%, 12%, and 24%) on freshness indicators and bacteriostasis were investigated. The antimicrobial activity of the composite films was evaluated against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus. Likewise, the freshness indicates effectiveness was evaluated for NH3. Considering the mechanical properties, antibacterial ability, freshness indicator effect, and stability of the composite film, CS film combined with 12% R was selected to prepare a dual-functional intelligent film for pork freshness indicator and preservation. By thoroughly investigating the effect of composite film on pork conservation and combining with it KNN, the discriminative model of pork freshness grade was established and the recognition rate of the prediction set was up to 93.3%. These results indicated that CSR film can be used for the creation of active food packaging materials.

Fabrication and characterization of sodium alginate/blueberry anthocyanins/hinokitiol loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles composite films with antibacterial activity for monitoring pork freshness

A smart film was developed to detect the freshness of pork by incorporating blueberry anthocyanins (BAs) and hinokitiol (HIN) loaded zeolite-imidazolium framework (HIN@ZIF-8) with into a sodium alginate matrix, and its microstructure and physicochemical properties were studied. The SA matrix was doped with BAs and HIN@ZIF-8 nanoparticles (SA-BAs/HIN@ZIF-8) to increase its tensile strength and reduce its water vapor permeability. HIN@ZIF-8 has low cytotoxicity, and SA-BAs/HIN@ZIF-8 membranes have long-lasting antimicrobial and highly sensitive color development properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of pork preservation experiments showed that SA-BA/HIN@ZIF-8 could extend the shelf life of pork to 6 days at 4 ℃. E-nose evaluation experiments showed that SA-BAs/HIN@ZIF-8 could inhibit compounds that cause unpleasant and irritating odours. Therefore, SA-BAs/HIN@ZIF-8 was considered to be an effective method to improve the freshness of pork, and the results showed that it has a promising application in food preservation.

Extrusion-blown oxidized starch/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) biodegradable active films with adequate material properties and antimicrobial activities for chilled pork preservation

Food safety concerns from spoilage and non-degradable packaging risk human health. Progress made in biodegradable plastic films, but limited study on biomass composite films with favorable morphological, mechanical, and inherent antibacterial properties for fresh meat preservation. Herein, we present a versatile packaging film created through the extrusion blowing process, combining oxidized starch (OST) with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). SEM analysis revealed even distribution of spherical OST particles on film's surface. FTIR spectra revealed new intermolecular hydrogen bonds between OST and PBAT. While combining OST slightly reduced tensile properties, all composite films met the required strength of 16.5 ± 1.39 MPa. Notably, films with 40 % OST showed over 98 % antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus within 2 h. pH wasn't the main cause of bacterial growth inhibition; OST hindered growth by interfering with nutrient absorption and metabolism due to its carboxyl groups. Additionally, OST disrupted bacterial membrane integrity and cytoplasmic membrane potential. Remarkably, the OST/PBAT film excellently preserved chilled fresh pork, maintaining TVB-N level at 12.6 mg/100 g on day 6, microbial count at 105 CFU/g within 6–10 days, and sensory properties for 8 days. It extended pork's shelf life by two days compared to polyethylene film, suggesting an alternative to a synthetic material.

Antibacterial activity of juglone @ chitosan nanoemulsion against Staphylococcus aureus and its effect on pork shelf life

Food poisoning caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) contaminated meat has received a lot of attention. Although juglone has anti-S. aureus properties, its limited water solubility prevents it from being used in food manufacturing. Juglone @ chitosan nanoemulsion (NJ) was produced for the first time in order to increase its solubility. At the same time, it was applied to the pork model. According to the findings, NJ's particle size was 119.30 nm, its polymer dispersity index (PDI) value was 0.290, and its zeta potential was −57.3 mV. And it's stable over a 7-day storage period. The cell shape and membrane integrity of S. aureus were significantly damaged by NJ. At the same time, NJ showed extreme vigor for biofilm removal. The inclusion of NJ coating significantly reduced S. aureus, total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), total viable count (TVC), thiobarbituric acid reactants (TBARS), and pH in the sample when using the pork feeding model. NJ, meantime, halted the sensory evaluation's fall in meat score. Additionally, NJ demonstrated good biocompatibility in mouse acute toxicity tests. The aforementioned findings demonstrate that NJ is anticipated to become an anti-S. aureus and a novel method for coating pork preservation.

Smart antibacterial nanocellulose packaging film based on pH-stimulate responsive microcapsules synthesized by Pickering emulsion template

Spoilage results in food waste and endangers consumer health, and the smart antibacterial packaging can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and reduce food spoilage. In this study, the smart antibacterial nanocellulose packaging films were developed by adding the pH-stimulated responsive microcapsules into cellulose nanofibril (CNF) film-forming. The microcapsules were synthesized by interfacial polymerization of Pickering emulsion. Carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals as solid particles stabilized the composited oil phase to prepare the oil-in-water Pickering emulsion. The emulsion with the particle concentration of 1.25 wt% and the oil phase mass fraction of 7.5 % processes excellent stability and uniform particle size, was chosen to synthesize microcapsules. The cinnamaldehyde in the film with the addition amount of microcapsules 0.6 g burst released in the first 1 h and then slowly, and the cumulative release at pH 2.0, 4.0, 5.5 and 7.2 was 28.43 μg/cm2, 18.84 μg/cm2, 16.52 μg/cm2 and 12.89 μg/cm2, respectively. The inhibitory rate of film against both E. coli and L. monocytogenes reached 99 % at pH 4.0. The shelf life of pork packed by the film prolonged to nearly 9 d at room temperature. The developed films have the potential to be used in food packaging.

The microscopic structure of pork neck after cooling with showering stiving and processing by culture Lactobacillus sakei

Microstructural changes in meat that occur during refrigerated storage depend on the hygiene of slaughtering and primary processing of animal carcasses, their cooling conditions, storage period, and microbial contamination and reflect the processes of meat maturation and spoilage. To extend the shelf life of pork in half-carcasses in a chilled state, 20 heads of 6-month-old large white pigs were used, which were delivered to the meat processing enterprise for slaughter. All half carcasses were cooled in a refrigerating chamber using showering, 1 hour later they were divided into 2 groups: control (without treatment) and experimental with the final treatment with a suspension of lactic acid bacteria of the SafePro® B-2 strain (Lactobacillus sakei). It has been found that cooling of pork half-carcasses in a refrigerating chamber with stiving and final processing by a culture suspension of lactic-acid microorganisms of strain SafePro® B-2 (Lactobacillus sakei) on the 4th day of storage had a positive effect on the microscopic structure of the pork neck and was characterized by a uniform color distribution when histologic specimens of muscular tissue are colored with hematoxylin and eosin, and minor cracks in the sarcoplasm, preservation of transverse and longitudinal striation of muscular fibers in comparison with that of the unprocessed pork half-carcasses with cultures of lactic-acid microorganisms. The microscopic structure of the muscular tissue of the pork half-carcass neck after cooling with stiving and final processing by a culture of lactic-acid microorganisms of strain SafePro® B-2 for 7 days of storage had a more distinct histoarchitecture in comparison with that of the unprocessed pork half-carcasses, as well as was characterized by insignificant areas of muscular fibers with transverse cracks, suspended development period of autolysis processes, partial preservation of transverse and longitudinal striation of muscle fibers. This points to a positive effect of lactic acid bacteria of strain SafePro® B-2 (Lactobacillus sakei) on the quality of the pork meat and contributes to the extension of its shelf life under chilled vintage.

PH-responsive double-layer film based on chitosan/curcumin-β-cyclodextrin complex/cinnamaldehyde and zein/alizarin for pork freshness monitoring and maintaining

A pH-responsive double-layer film comprising chitosan (CS), zein (Z), curcumin-β-cyclodextrin complex (Cur- β-CD), alizarin (AL) and cinnamaldehyde (CIN) was developed to detect spoilage and prolong the shelf life of pork. The outer Z/AL is the colorimetric responsive and highly protective outer layer, while the CS/Cur- β-CD/CIN is the fluorescence responsive and functional layer. The CS/Cur- β-CD/CIN-Z/AL film demonstrated excellent barrier properties against oxygen (8.48 × 10-13 g (m s Pa)-1) and water (2.42 × 10-11 g (m s Pa)-1) primarily due to the polar interactions in the Z structure and its hydrophobic nature. The addition of AL and Cur provided the CS/Cur- β-CD/CIN-Z/AL film with pH colorimetric and fluorescence response capabilities, respectively. Furthermore, the inclusion of Cur- β-CD, CIN and AL significantly enhanced the film’s antioxidant and antibacterial properties, with radical scavenging rates of 79.29 % (DPPH) and 89.84 % (ABTS), as well as antibacterial efficiencies of 96.2 % (S. aureus) and 85.78 % (E. coli). To test the effectiveness of the double-layer film, a freshness monitoring and maintenance experiment was conducted on pork stored at 4 °C for 8 days. Various parameters of pork, including surface color, pH value, total volatile bases nitrogen (TVB-N), total viable counts (TVC), thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), hardness and springiness, were measured, along with the color and fluorescence intensity (FL) of the film. The shelf life of the pork was extended by at least 2 days compared to the control group, and the pork was considered inedible if ΔE ≥ 12 or FL intensity ≤ 2160. Overall, this food packaging film shows promise in simultaneously monitoring and maintaining the freshness of pork.

Self-assembled carboxymethyl chitosan/zinc alginate composite film with excellent water resistant and antimicrobial properties for chilled meat preservation

A major way to reduce meat waste is to extend the shelf life of chilled meat with appropriate packaging. However, most of the packaging film cannot keep meat fresh because of its poor antibacterial and water resistance performance. In this paper, a composite film for chilled meat packaging was synthesized by simple self-assembly of zinc ions with chelating carboxyl groups. Introducing zinc ions into the composite system endows excellent water resistance and antibacterial properties to the film, which are demonstrated by the water vapor permeability and Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus antibacterial tests. The as-prepared composite film also showed enhanced mechanical properties due to the formation of chelation bonds between zinc ions and carboxyl groups. Moreover, the chilled meat preservation test demonstrated the as-prepared composite film can significantly extend the shelf life of pork by five days, indicating its outstanding freshness preservation property. This work demonstrated a facile method to synthesize water-resistant and antimicrobial composite film, which can appear as an effective packaging material for chilled meat and offer a new idea to solve its short shelf-life problem.

Hydrophobic electrospun membrane of peppermint oil loaded zein with coating of methyltriethoxysilane for active packaging

Zein electrospun nanofibers are widely used as the vehicles to load bioactive entities for release control; however, the water absorption of zein always restricts their applications in food preservation. In this work, an active hydrophobic membrane of peppermint oil (PO) loaded zein (ZN) with coating of methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) was developed for pork preservation. The fiber matrix of ZN was use for PO incorporation. The secondary structure of ZN and the feature of the relevant fibers are dependent on solvents of acetic acid and ethyl alcohol. In the composite structure, PO is hydrogen-bonded with ZN matrix; while the coating of MTES is bonded with fiber matrix by Si–O–C. The well-controlled release of PO predominantly follows the law of Fickian diffusion, endowing the membrane good antibacterial activity and antioxidant activity. The coating of MTES has no obvious influence on the bioactivities but provides the membrane outstanding hydrophobicity with water contact angle of 138 ± 5°. ZN-PO30-MTES can extend shelf life of pork by 100% (i.e., 24 h) at 25 °C, demonstrating its potential in food active packaging.

Sodium alginate/chitosan-based intelligent bilayer film with antimicrobial activity for pork preservation and freshness monitoring

A pH-sensitive bilayer film with antioxidant and antibacterial activities was successfully prepared by anchoring anthocyanins (ACNs) with sodium alginate (SA) as the sensing inner layer and incorporating TiO2 in chitosan (CS) as the protective outer layer. ACNs in the inner layer were immobilized under acidic conditions while released under alkaline conditions because of the pH sensitivity of SA molecules. The incorporation of TiO2 improved the color stability of the ACNs, and the film exhibited a wide range of color variations at pH 2–13 with ΔE>5. FT-IR confirmed the existence of hydrogen bonds among the components, and the tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (EB) of the film reached 24.32 MPa and 38.58%, respectively. Moreover, the bactericidal rates of the film towards E. coli and S. aureus were 99.23% and 97.49%, respectively. The bilayer film could extend the pork's shelf life for 40 and 96 h at 20 °C and 4 °C, and monitor the pork quality in real-time. Therefore, the [email protected] + CS/TiO2 bilayer film is promising for meat preservation and freshness monitoring.
