    Abstract In the food sector, one of the most important economic activities is the dairy industry, which has been facing many challenges in order to meet the increasing demand by consumers for natural and minimally processed products with high quality. In this sense, the application of innovative and emerging technologies can be an interesting alternative, for example, the use of nanotechnology in packaging and as delivery systems. This technology has the potential to improve the quality and safety of dairy products, representing an interesting approach for delivering food preservatives and improving the mechanical, barrier and functional properties of packaging. Several applications and promising results of nanostructures for dairy product preservation can be found throughout this review, including the use of metallic and polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based nanostructures, nanofibers, nanofilms and nanocoatings. In addition, some relevant examples of the direct application of nanostructured natural antimicrobials in milk and cheese are presented and discussed, as well as the use of milk agar as a model for a preliminary test. Despite their high cost and the difficulties for scale-up, interesting results of these technologies in dairy foods and packaging materials have promoted a growing interest of the dairy industry.

    Abstract Encapsulation can be a suitable strategy to protect natural antimicrobial substances against some harsh conditions of processing and storage and to provide efficient formulations for antimicrobial delivery. Lipid-based nanostructures, including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and nanostructured lipid nanocarriers (NLCs), are valuable systems for the delivery and controlled release of natural antimicrobial substances. These nanostructures have been used as carriers for bacteriocins and other antimicrobial peptides, antimicrobial enzymes, essential oils, and antimicrobial phytochemicals. Most studies are conducted with liposomes, although the potential of SLNs and NLCs as antimicrobial nanocarriers is not yet fully established. Some studies reveal that lipid-based formulations can be used for co-encapsulation of natural antimicrobials, improving their potential to control microbial pathogens.

    Abstract Natural antimicrobial compounds are a topic of utmost interest in food science due to the increased demand for safe and high-quality foods with minimal processing. The use of nanostructures is an interesting alternative to protect and delivery antimicrobials in food, also providing controlled release of natural compounds such as bacteriocins and antimicrobial proteins, and also for delivery of plant derived antimicrobials. A diversity of nanostructures are capable of trapping natural antimicrobials maintaining the stability of substances that are frequently sensitive to food processing and storage conditions. This article provides an overview on natural antimicrobials incorporated in nanostructures, showing an effective antimicrobial activity on a diversity of food spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms.

    Abstract Liposomes modified with biomolecules can present better stability and specific structural characteristics, representing a profitable alternative to conventional liposomes. In this study, liposomes formulations containing pectin (PT) or polygalacturonic acid (PA) were prepared by the thin-film hydration method and reverse phase evaporation method for nisin (Nis) encapsulation. Liposomes free from nisin were studied as reference. Structural characteristics of the formulations were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) in the temperature range from 20 to 60 °C. The presence of nisin promoted the transition of lamellar to cubic phase, leading to the formation of partial cubosomes dispersions, which presented stability over temperature increase. The association to the polysaccharides did not prevent the cubic phase formation, although different symmetries were produced according to composition, preparation method and temperature variation. The complex network structure of the cubic phases can represent potentially efficient nanocarriers for sustained release of ingredients.

    Abstract Natural antimicrobials are an innovative alternative for food safety and encapsulation can improve their controlled release and stability. In the present work, lysozyme and its combination with nisin were encapsulated into phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes coated with pectin or polygalacturonic acid. The mean particle sizes of liposomes encapsulating lysozyme were 92, 116, and 97 nm for PC, PC-pectin and PC-polygalacutronic acid, respectively. Co-encapsulation of lysozyme and nisin resulted in particle sizes of 86, 77, and 80 nm, respectively. The formulations showed high encapsulation efficiency (77–87%), zeta potential around −30 mV, and spherical structures were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Liposomes encapsulating lysozyme inhibited Listeria monocytogens, but not Salmonella Enteritidis, while liposomes co-encapsulating the mixture nisin/lysozyme inhibited both bacteria. The PC-pectin liposomes were more efficient in inhibiting Listeria spp. when compared to the other liposomes tested. The antimicrobial activity was assessed at 37 °C using milk as model, showing that PC-pectin liposomes reduced the population of L. monocytogenes by 2 log CFU/mL in whole milk and 5 log CFU/mL in skim milk. Under refrigeration temperature, PC-pectin liposomes reduced the population of L. monocytogenes to below detection limit for up to 25 days in skim milk, indicating that liposomes containing polysaccharides can be a promising technology for the controlled release of lysozyme and nisin in foods.
