Monitoring freshness of chicken breast by using natural halochromic curcumin loaded chitosan/PEO nanofibers as an intelligent package

2021-02-15
© 2020 Elsevier B.V.Intelligent packaging is important to get information about real time quality of foods. The objective of this study was to develop an electrospun nanofiber halochromic pH sensor film using curcumin, chitosan (CS) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) to monitor chicken freshness. Conductivity and rheological behavior of CS/PEO/curcumin solutions were measured to understand the effect of solution properties on the morphology of the fibers. The morphological characteristics of nanofiber films were investigated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Average diameter of the fibers was found to be between 283 ± 27 nm and 338 ± 35 nm. It was concluded that increasing CS amount in nanofibers decreased the diameter of the fibers. Thermal analysis and water vapor permeability features of the pH sensor were also examined. Color changes of curcumin loaded CS/PEO nanofiber film was evaluated on chicken breast package at 4 °C. The color of nanofiber film changed from bright yellow to reddish color which provided an opportunity to detect color changes by even the naked eyes of the untrained consumer. As a quality indicator, surface pH changes of the chicken breast and TVB-N (total volatile basic nitrogen) were measured. At the end of the day 5, pH value of 6.53 ±0.08 and TVB-N concentration of 23.45 ±3.35 mg/100 g indicated that food was at the edge of the acceptance level. As a result, curcumin loaded nanofiber satisfied the expectation and gave an opportunity to visualize real time monitoring of chicken spoilage.

Evaluation of the effects of legume flour incorporation into wafer sheets
Tufan, Büşra; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2018)
Changing consumer demands have directed food industry into development of alternative food products in terms of nutrition, authenticity, innovation and functionality. The main objective of this study was to develop wafer sheets by partial replacement of wheat flour by bean, carob, chickpea and lentil flours. In this regard, firstly nutritional components of the flours were analyzed. Wheat flour was replaced by 10%, 20% and 30% legume flour and its effects on specific gravity and rheology of the batters were...
EFFECT OF PSYLLIUM AND CELLULOSE FIBER ADDITION ON STARCH DIGESTIBILITY FOR BREAD AND CRACKER
Bilgiç, Hilal; Şensoy, İlkay; Department of Food Engineering (2022-2-9)
Understanding the interactions between fibers and other food components gain importance every day due to the increasing number of informed consumers about the health benefits of high fiber-containing foods. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of fiber addition on the starch digestion behavior of bread and cracker samples. Fiber-added samples (bread or cracker) were prepared by replacing 10 % of the wheat flour with the fibers (psyllium or cellulose). Physical and quality parameters of...
The effect of extrusion on the functional components and in vitro lycopene bioaccessibility of tomato pulp added corn extrudates
Tonyalı, Bade; Şensoy, İlkay; Karakaya, Sibel (2016-01-01)
The effect of processing on functional ingredients and their in vitro bioaccessibility should be investigated to develop better food products. Tomato pulp was added as a functional ingredient to extrudates. The effects of extrusion on the functional properties of the extrudates and the in vitro bioaccessibility of lycopene were investigated. Two different temperature sets were applied during extrusion: 80 degrees C, 90 degrees C, 100 degrees C and 130 degrees C and 80 degrees C, 100 degrees C, 130 degrees C...
Detection of gamma irradiated spices with OSL method and its reliability
AYGÜN, ŞÜKRAN GİZEM; BOZOĞLU, TAHSİN FARUK; Bulur, Enver (2016-01-01)
Irradiation has been accepted as an effective food safety method for various foods over 50 years. Gamma rays from radioactive isotopes of Cobalt 60 or Cesium 137 are used for food irradiation applications. The main concern about food irradiation is the detection of these irradiated foods and also loss of detection of irradiation through the storage period. Photo Stimulated Luminescence (PSL) is one of the physical techniques that can be used for irradiation detection. The aim of this study is to analyze the...
PREPARATION OF POLYMER MULTILAYER FILMS FOR FOOD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
Tidim, Gökçe; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Soyer, Yeşim; Department of Chemistry (2023-1-20)
In recent years, there has been intense research going on to develop new packaging technologies to improve the safety and quality of the food. Natural polymers not only reduce the consumer health risks but also provide less processed and more environment friendly food packages. Alginate and chitosan are suitable polymers for food technology due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity. In addition to the antibacterial properties of chitosan, pH responsive behaviour of alginate and chit...
