Emerging Trends in Active Packaging for Food: A Six-Year Review
Andrade, Mariana A.; Barbosa, Cássia H.; Ribeiro-Santos, Regiane; Tomé, Sidney; Fernando, Ana Luísa; Silva, Ana Sanches; Vilarinho, FernandaThe development of active food packaging has evolved rapidly in recent years, offering innovative solutions to enhance food preservation and safety while addressing sustainability challenges. This review compiles and analyzes recent advancements (2019–2024) in release-type active packaging, focusing on essential oils, natural extracts, and phenolic compounds as active agents. Primarily plant-derived, these comp...
Extension of Poultry Meat Shelf Life Using Cynara cardunculus L. Leaf Extracts ...
Barbosa, Cássia H.; Andrade, Mariana A.; Vilarinho, Fernanda; Silva, Ana Sanches; Fernando, Ana LuísaFood additives are used to prevent food spoilage and extend its shelf life. However, con cerns regarding the potential health implications associated with some synthetic additives have prompted research efforts aimed at identifying natural alternatives, such as plant extracts. Cynara cardunculus L. (cardoon) is known for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cap...
Valorização de subprodutos de C. cardunculus: aplicação em filmes ativos
Barbosa, Cássia H.; Andrade, Mariana A.; Tomé, Sidney; Vilarinho, Fernanda; Fernando, Ana Luísa; Sanches Silva, AnaDesenvolver um filme ativo à base de proteína de soro de leite (WPC), incorporado com extrato de folha de cardo em diferentes concentrações (0,5%, 1,0% e 2,0%), e avaliar a migração global e específica, com vista à quantificação da libertação de compostos fenólicos do filme para o alimento.
Influence of application methods of a whey protein-based coating with cardoon e...
Barbosa, Cássia H.; Andrade, Mariana A.; Tomé, Sidney; Vilarinho, Fernanda; Fernando, Ana Luísa; Sanches Silva, AnaThe application of edible coatings for cheese preservation has gained attention for maintaining its quality and enhancing its shelf life. Whey protein-based coatings, with natural extracts, can protect from moisture loss, lipid oxidation, and microbial contamination. Cynara cardunculus L. (cardoon) is a Mediterranean plant whose flowers are used in cheesemaking, and the leaves, the main by-product generated, ar...
Cardoon leaves as a nutrient food source: promoting sustainability and circular...
Barbosa, Cássia H.; Andrade, Mariana A.; Tomé, Sidney; Vilarinho, Fernanda; Fernando, Ana Luísa; Sanches Silva, AnaAgro-industrial by-products are a substantial source of bioactive compounds and nutrients. The valorisation of these by-products has the potential to promote environmental sustainability and a circular economy. This practice can lead to a significant advancement in sustainable food production. Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) is a multipurpose crop, and its flowers are used as a natural coagulant in the cheesema...
Cyanara cardunculus L. by-products as a sustainable source of bioactive compoun...
Barbosa, Cássia H.; Andrade, Mariana A.; Duarte, Maria Paula; Mateus, Ana Rita; Vilarinho, Fernanda; Fernando, Ana Luísa; Sanches Silva, AnaCynara cardunculus L. (cardoon) is a versatile perennial crop that thrives in challenging environments with high productivity. Its flowers are valued for their coagulating properties in cheesemaking, while its leaves, rich in bioactive compounds, are normally discarded. This study aimed to assess the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of ethanolic and methanolic extracts from fresh and dried cultivated car...
Biodegradable whey protein films with cardoon extract as natural alternatives t...
Barbosa, Cássia H.; Andrade, Mariana A.; Vilarinho, Fernanda; Sanches Silva, Ana; Fernando, Ana LuísaNowadays, consumers demand more natural foods with fewer synthetic additives, which drives research into biodegradable active packaging enriched with plant extracts, essential oils, or agro-industrial by-products rich in bioactive compounds. Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) is a multipurpose crop whose flower is traditionally used in cheesemaking, while its leaves, a major by-product, are rich in antimicrobial a...
Active Low-Density Polyethylene-Based Films by Incorporating α-Tocopherol in th...
Azevedo, Ana G.; Barros, Carolina; Miranda, Sónia; Machado, A. V.; Carneiro, O. S.; Silva, Bruno; Andrade, Mariana A.; Vilarinho, FernandaIn this work, alpha-tocopherol (α-TOC) was encapsulated in poly(lactic acid) nanoparticles (PLA NPs) and added to low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films with the aim of producing an active film for food packaging applications. PLA NPs loaded with α-TOC were produced through nanoprecipitation and dried using two methods (freeze-dryer and oven). LDPE-based films with final polymeric matrix concentrations of 10 and...
Blown film of PLA for packaging with green tea and fish industrial residues: an...
Rodrigues, Pedro António Veiga; Cunha, Ana B.; Andrade, Mariana A.; Vilarinho, Fernanda; Machado, Ana Vera; Castro, Maria Cidália RodriguesThe use of food waste on the production of packaging can be seen as a promising strategy to cost reduction and new properties. Moreover, packaging, besides food physical protection, should establish a barrier to light and oxygen together with antioxidant and antibacterial activity, to extend the shelf-life of perishable products. In this study, PLA films with the incorporation of natural additives (cold fish pr...
Extending High Fatty Foods Shelf-Life Protecting from Lipid Oxidation and Micro...
Andrade, Mariana A.; Rodrigues, Pedro V.; Barros, Carolina; Cruz, Vasco; Machado, Ana Vera; Barbosa, Cássia H.; Coelho, Anabela; Furtado, RosáliaThe search for new forms to extend foodstuffs’ shelf-life through the use of natural compounds and extracts continues to grow among researchers and the industry. In this line of thought, the main objective of this work was to develop, characterize and evaluate the effectiveness of an active food packaging based on polylactic acid (PLA) and incorporated with natural extracts obtained from grape and/or pomegranat...
