Evaluation of properties of silver nanoparticles from terminalia chebula Retz extract for film coating strawberry

Abstract

This research investigates active packaging films made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nanocellulose fibers (NFC), incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from Terminalia chebula extract, which possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties. The developed films were tested for their mechanical properties, microbial inhibition, and biodegradability. The results showed that the addition of AgNPs from Terminalia chebula enhanced product protection and effectively extended the shelf life of strawberries while being environmentally friendly.

Objective

บรรจุภัณฑ์แอคทีฟถูกพัฒนาเพื่อปกป้องผลิตภัณฑ์และยืดอายุการเก็บรักษา โดยสามารถแลกเปลี่ยนแก๊สได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ ฟิล์มที่ผลิตจากพอลิไวนิลแอลกอฮอล์ (PVA) มีความยืดหยุ่น แข็งแรง และสามารถละลายน้ำได้ อีกทั้งยังสามารถเติมอนุภาคซิลเวอร์นาโน (AgNPs) เพื่อเพิ่มคุณสมบัติในการยับยั้งจุลินทรีย์ สมอไทย (Terminalia chebula) ซึ่งอุดมไปด้วยสารต้านเชื้อแบคทีเรียและเชื้อรา ถูกนำมาใช้ในการสังเคราะห์ AgNPs เพื่อนำไปประยุกต์ใช้กับฟิล์มบรรจุภัณฑ์แอคทีฟ งานวิจัยนี้จึงศึกษาคุณสมบัติของฟิล์มที่พัฒนาขึ้นสำหรับการเคลือบสตรอเบอร์รีเพื่อยืดอายุการเก็บรักษาอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ

The study of the chemical and physical properties of chickpea burgers and hybrid burgers with chickpea and pork using the sous-vide cooking method.

The consumption of plant-based products has been gaining popularity as consumers become more health-conscious and aware of environmental impacts. The food industry has been developing meat analogs with properties similar to conventional meat. This study investigates the chemical and physical properties of chickpea-based meat analog burgers and hybrid burgers containing both chickpeas and pork, using the sous-vide cooking method. This technique helps maintain food quality in terms of texture, moisture retention, and nutritional value. The experiment examined various properties of both types of burgers, including cooking loss, water holding capacity, shear force, pH value, and color analysis. Additionally, sensory evaluation was conducted to assess taste, texture, and overall consumer preference. The findings will provide insights into the optimal sous-vide conditions for producing plant-based and hybrid burgers with desirable quality characteristics that meet the needs of health-conscious consumers. This study serves as a valuable guideline for the food industry in developing high-nutritional-value alternative protein products while reducing meat consumption. By incorporating plant-based ingredients, it helps minimize environmental impact and promotes sustainability in food production. The research is significant in both food science and the development of healthier, competitive food products for the future market.
