AbstractThis study aimed to obtain possible materials for future antimicrobial food packaging applications based on biodegradable bacterial cellulose (BC). BC is a fermentation product obtained by Gluconacetobacter xylinum using food or agricultural wastes as substrate. In this work we investigated the synergistic effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and propolis extracts deposited on BC. ZnO NPs were generated in the presence of ultrasounds directly on the surface of BC films. The BC-ZnO composites were further impregnated with ethanolic propolis extracts (EEP) with different concentrations.The composition of raw propolis and EEP were previously determined by gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS), while the antioxidant activity was evaluated by TEAC (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity). The analysis methods performed on BC-ZnO composites such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermo-gravimetrically analysis (TGA), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) proved that ZnO NPs were formed and embedded in the whole structure of BC films. The BC-ZnO-propolis films were characterized by SEM and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) in order to investigate the surface modifications. The antimicrobial synergistic effect of the BC-ZnO-propolis films were evaluated against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans. The experimental results revealed that BC-ZnO had no influence on Gram-negative and eukaryotic cells.

Abstract Antibacterial coatings based on bacterial cellulose (BC) have been widely used in many fields including food packaging and wound dressing. In this study, we aimed to synthesis of colloidal AgNPs and BC/ AgNP composite by using BC as a reducing and capping agent in one step reaction induced by gamma-ray. Bacterial strain Komagataeibacter rhaeticus N1 MW322708 was used for biosynthesis BC by inoculation on Hestrin and Schramm medium and incubated statically at 35 °C for 10 days. BC sheet was formed, harvested, purified, and dried, then used for the synthesis of AgNPs and BC/AgNP by soaked 0.05 g of dried BC in 10ml of 1mM aqueous AgNO3 solution for 2h and then irradiated by gamma-ray under different doses. Color change from yellow to deep brown indicated the synthesis of AgNPs and BC/AgNP. The optical spectra of synthesized AgNPs revealed that the surface plasmon resonance was localized around 420 nm. DLS analysis showed that the mean diameter of AgNPs was 49.5 nm with a -19.36-mV value of zeta potential. TEM images revealed the spherical shape of synthesized AgNPs. The results of FESEM, FTIR, and XRD confirmed the formation of BC/AgNO3 composite. The highly crystalline nature of the BC membrane and BC/AgNP composite was observed in XRD measurements with a crystal size of 5.416 and 5.409 nm, respectively. The antibacterial activity of BC and BC/AgNP against pathogenic bacterial isolated from Pastirma food samples revealed that BC does not show antibacterial activity, while BC/AgNP composite showed antibacterial potency against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Proteus mirabilis, and Escherichia coli, with an inhibition zone of (mm) 9±1, 9±0.57, 10±1.15, 8±0.5 and 7±0.28, respectively. We concluded that this novel method presented in this paper offers a promising route for both AgNPs and BC/AgNP composites synthesis using a green, renewable biopolymer as a multifunctional agent and potential to be applied in the future development of food packing, biomedical instruments, and therapeutics.

In some respects the safest food packaging material is paper that is completely free of chemical additives, made only from primary cellulosic fibers. There is no information in the literature on giving paper barrier properties using nanocellulose without any additives, especially bacterial cellulose, by applying a coating to a fibrous semi-product. In order to prepare paper-layered composites, paper sheets made of beaten or non-beaten softwood or hardwood cellulose pulp, or their 50/50 (wt./wt.) mix, were used in the experiment. After the application of bacterial cellulose onto the sheets, the paper became completely impermeable to air, which means that fine microbial fibers had filled the voids (pores) between plant cellulose fibers. The results of the experiment could be regarded as a perfect, biodegradable packaging material.

Bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNCs) obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis have been loaded in pullulan biopolymer for use as nanoparticles in the generation of high-oxygen barrier coatings intended for food packaging applications. Bacterial cellulose (BC) produced by Komagataeibacter sucrofermentans was hydrolyzed by two different enzymatic treatments, i.e., using endo-1,4-β-glucanases (EGs) from Thermobifida halotolerans and cellulase from Trichoderma reesei. The hydrolytic activity was compared by means of turbidity experiments over a period of 145 h, whereas BCNCs in their final state were compared, in terms of size and morphology, by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Though both treatments led to particles of similar size, a greater amount of nano-sized particles (≈250 nm) were observed in the system that also included cellulase enzymes. Unexpectedly, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that cellulose nanoparticles were round-shaped and made of 4–5 short (150–180 nm) piled whiskers. Pullulan/BCNCs nanocomposite coatings allowed an increase in the overall oxygen barrier performance, of more than two and one orders of magnitude (≈0.7 mL·m−2·24 h−1), of pure polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (≈120 mL·m−2·24 h−1) as well as pullulan/coated PET (≈6 mL·m−2·24 h−1), with no significant difference between treatments (hydrolysis mediated by EGs or with the addition of cellulase). BCNCs obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis have the potential to generate high oxygen barrier coatings for the food packaging industry.
