    Abstract Curcuma longa L. essential oil and anthocyanin extracts contain bioactive compounds such as antioxidant properties and their pigments are able to change color when exposed to different pH or ammonium gas. In this context, the objective of the present work was to develop pH-sensitive intelligent films by adding curcuma oil (composed of essential oils and pigments) and anthocyanin extracts to a chitosan matrix reinforced with alpha-chitin nanocrystals. The incorporation of curcuma oil, anthocyanins and nanocrystals enhanced the mechanical properties and hydrophobicity; and, decreased water solubility and moisture content. In addition, the films also showed almost total blocking against UV/Vis light at wavelengths below 550 nm. Interestingly, the films were at the same time antioxidant, and sensitive to color change when exposed to ammonia gas and different pH solutions, with greater variations observed when higher concentrations of curcuma oil were added. Hence, these results revealed the potential of these films as intelligent food packaging applications.

    Abstract Chitosan films lack various important physicochemical properties and need to be supplemented with reinforcing agents to bridge the gap. Herein, we have produced chitosan composite films supplemented with copolymerized (with polyacrylonitrile monomers) cellulose nanofibers and diatomite nanocomposite at different concentrations. The incorporation of CNFs and diatomite enhanced the physicochemical properties of the films. The mechanical characteristics and hydrophobicity of the films were observed to be improved after incorporating the copolymerized CNFs/diatomite composite at different concentrations (CNFs: 1%, 2% and 5%; diatomite: 10% and 30%). The antioxidant activity gradually increased with an increasing concentration (1-5% and 10-30%) of copolymerized CNFs/diatomite composite in the chitosan matrix. Moreover, the water solubility decreased from 30% for chitosan control film (CH-0) to 21.06% for films containing 30% diatomite and 5% CNFs (CNFs-D30-5). The scanning electron micrographs showed an overall uniform distribution of copolymerized CNFs/diatomite composite in the chitosan matrix with punctual agglomerations.

    Abstract -In the present work, nanocomposite films based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) containing different amounts of Origanum vulgare essential oil (OEO, 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% v/v) were reinforced with 0.5% (w/v) of alphachitin nanocrystals (α-CHNC, from shrimp and from lobster) and prepared by solvent casting. Another set of films was prepared without α –CHNC to assess the effect of the nanocrystals on the final properties of the films. The obtained nanocomposite films were homogeneous and showed better thermal stability and mechanical properties. After exposure the nanocomposite films to ultraviolet radiation, the obtained data revealed that the presence of α-CHNC into the materials has a retarding effect on their loss of mechanical properties. It was also shown that the antioxidant activity and the total phenolic content of the materials increased with the augmentation of OEO and with the antioxidant release time. Interestingly, the nanocomposite films made of chitin nanocrystals from shrimp showed better total phenolic content than the unfilled films and the nanocomposite films made of chitin nanocrystals from lobster over the first 48 h. Henceforward, this study demonstrated the potential of the nanocomposite films based on PVA, OEO and reinforced with α-CHNC for active food-packaging applications.

    Abstract The extraction of nanochitin from marine waste has attracted great industrial interest due to its unique properties, namely biodegradability, biocompatibility and as a functional reinforcing agent. Conventional acid hydrolysis isolation of nanochitin requires high temperatures and acid concentration, time and energy. Herein, for the first time, microwave irradiation method was used as an eco-friendly approach to isolate nanochitin from different sources. The isolation conditions were optimized through an experimental Box-Behnken design using surface response methodology. The data showed optimal conditions of 1 M HCl, 10.00 min and 124.75 W to obtain lobster nanocrystals; 1 M HCl, 14.34 min and 50.21 W to obtain shrimp nanocrystals; and 1 M HCl, 29.08 min and 54.08 W to obtain squid pen nanofibres, reducing time and HCl concentration. The obtained isolation yields where of 85.30, 79.92 and 80.59 % for lobster, shrimp and squid, respectively. The morphology of the nanochitins was dependent of the chitin origin, and the lengths of the nanochitins were of 314.74, 386.12 and > 900 nm for lobster, shrimp and squid pen, respectively. The thermal stability of the ensuing nanochitins was maintained after treatment. The results showed that nanochitin could be obtained by using an eco-friendly approach like microwave irradiation.

    Abstract Nowadays, biopolymers are playing a fundamental role in our society because of the environmental issues and concerns associated with synthetic polymers. The aim of this Special Issue entitled 'Women in Polymer Science and Technology: Biopolymers' is highlighting the work designed and developed by women on biopolymer science and technology. In this context, this short review aims to provide an introduction to this Special Issue by highlighting some recent contributions of women around the world on the particular topic of biopolymer science and technology during the last 20 years. In the first place, it highlights a selection of important works performed on a number of well-studied natural polymers, namely, agar, chitin, chitosan, cellulose, and collagen. Secondly, it gives an insight into the discovery of new polysaccharides and enzymes that have a role in their synthesis and in their degradation. These contributions will be paving the way for the next generation of female and male scientists on this topic.
