Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Antimicrobial Activity and Food Packaging Applications
Paula J.P. Espitia,Nilda de Fátima Ferreira Soares,Jane Sélia dos Reis Coimbra,Nélio José de Andrade,Renato Souza Cruz,Eber Antonio Alves Medeiros +5 more
TL;DR: The main synthesis methods of ZnO nanoparticles, principal characteristics and mechanisms of antimicrobial action as well as the effect of their incorporation in polymeric matrices are discussed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Edible Films from Methylcellulose and Nanoemulsions of Clove Bud (Syzygium aromaticum) and Oregano (Origanum vulgare) Essential Oils as Shelf Life Extenders for Sliced Bread
Caio G. Otoni,Silvania F. O. Pontes,Eber Antonio Alves Medeiros,Nilda de Fátima Ferreira Soares +3 more
TL;DR: Both essential oils lessened the counts of yeasts and molds in sliced bread during 15 days, and droplet size reduction provided a further improvement in antimicrobial properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical-mechanical and antimicrobial properties of nanocomposite films with pediocin and ZnO nanoparticles.
Paula J.P. Espitia,Nilda de Fátima Ferreira Soares,Reinaldo F. Teófilo,Jane Sélia dos Reis Coimbra,Débora Monique Vitor,Rejane Andrade Batista,Sukarno Olavo Ferreira,Nélio José de Andrade,Eber Antonio Alves Medeiros +8 more
TL;DR: This study evaluated film physical-mechanical properties, including crystallography by X-ray diffraction, mechanical resistance, swelling and color properties, microscopy characterization, thermal stability, as well as antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nisin and other antimicrobial peptides: Production, mechanisms of action, and application in active food packaging
Johnson Clay Santos,Rita de Cássia Superbi de Sousa,Caio G. Otoni,Allan Robledo Fialho e Moraes,Victor Gomes Lauriano Souza,Eber Antonio Alves Medeiros,Paula J.P. Espitia,Ana Clarissa dos Santos Pires,Jane Sélia dos Reis Coimbra,Nilda de Fátima Ferreira Soares +9 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of antimicrobial peptides, from synthesis procedures to mechanisms of action, with an emphasis on nisin is presented, and a historical outlook and the current perspectives of their potential applications in food packaging systems are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose acetate active films incorporated with oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil and organophilic montmorillonite clay control the growth of phytopathogenic fungi
Cícero C. Pola,Eber Antonio Alves Medeiros,Olinto Liparini Pereira,Victor Gomes Lauriano Souza,Caio G. Otoni,Geany Peruch Camilloto,Nilda de Fátima Ferreira Soares +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cellulose acetate (CAc) incorporated with different concentrations of oregano essential oil (OEO) and organophilic montmorillonite clay (MMT30B) was used to control the growth of phytopathogenic fungi.
