AB  - In this study, pectin-based films blended with alginate and crosslinked with copper ions for potential application in agriculture were investigated. Copper was selected as crosslinking agent, due to its key role as a plant micronutrient, antifungal ability, and focal activity in the pectin crosslinking process. FTIR analysis confirmed the interactions between pectin, alginate and copper salt. The inclusion of alginate in film improved the binding activity of copper ions, providing denser 3d network with enhanced physical-chemical properties. The crosslinked film containing 60 wt% of pectin and 40 wt% of alginate had the highest tensile strength (59.8 MPa), highest UV barrier (transmission of light=0%), and the lowest swelling degree (121%) and water vapor permeability (0.320 ng/ m s Pa). Moreover, the release of copper ions from this formulation after 28 days of immersion in water and soil was 9 and 13 ppm, respectively. The biodegradation rate after 28 days of exposure in the soil was 54%. Nevertheless, all crosslinked pectin-alginate films inhibited the growth of the Fusarium and Aspergillus phytopathogens and demonstrated non-phytotoxicity on germination and growth of wheat. Hence, the system developed in this work can potentially be used as novel, bio-active, tunable plant protective biodegradable foliar spray in agriculture sector.

AB  - In the complex ecosystem of gut microbiota, lactic acid bacteria (LAB)+B represent prevalent, abundant, and highly important subpopulation. LAB+B are well-known for their health-promoting effects: they are found to positively influence gut microbiota diversity, modulate immune response and intestinal permeability, and produce bioactive or regulatory metabolites. Bifidobacteriaceae represent critical early colonizers of the human gut, and the depletion of this microbial group in infants is correlated with allergy development. LAB+B are considered as one of the first human gut colonizers and recent studies have shown that humans might be exposed to them even in the womb. The primary role of the human gut microbiota, as in other animals, is its contribution to digestion. Several types of health-promoting dietary polyphenols are able to boost the abundance of LAB+B in human trials, but also in in vitro tests and animal models. A molecular methods-based insight into gut microbiota diversity showed presence of its disturbed composition-dysbiosis-in various diseases.

AB  - Current trends in food biotechnology are focused on replacing synthetic polymers used for food packages by the natural ones. Biopolymers are made by sustainable processes in a cheap way. Moreover, they are nontoxic and can serve as a good alternative to traditional (petroleum) food packaging, due to great film-formation properties in a form of edible films and coatings for food products. Various polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids have been intensively investigated as edible materials that could improve the food quality, freshness, and provide food safety. However, natural polymers usually lack of antioxidative and/or antimicrobial properties. Therefore, many synthetic and natural additives can be incorporated into edible films. Among them, extracts of medicinal plants are giving more attention due to their safeness and proved health benefits.
The aim of this study was to obtain edible films based on dextran, with antioxidative and antimicrobial properties. Dextran obtained in our lab was used for preparing edible film with sorbitol as a plasticizer, while pulverized waste biomass obtained from the processing of medicinal herb yarrow (Achillea millefolium) was used as a source of polyphenols. It has previously been shown1 that dextran based films had excellent mechanical and water vapor barrier properties. In this work, spray dried ethanol extract of Achillea millefolium dust (AME) was incorporated into dextran films in concentrations 2, 3, and 4% (w/v). The composite films were analyzed regarding antioxidative, antimicrobial, and mechanical properties. All films showed high antioxidative activity (90% reduction of DPPH radical). However, to obtain high antimicrobial activity (higher than 50%), 4% of AME was required. Composite films showed antimicrobial activity against three Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Enterococcus faecalis and one Gram-negative bacterium (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Incorporation of AME into dextran film showed positive effect on tensile strength and negative effect on elongation. Composite film with the best mechanical properties (tensile strength 3.5 MPa and elongation at break 37%) was the film containing 4% AME.

AB  - Dextransucrase (DS), the extracellular enzyme is of immense industrial importance, due to ability to produce dextran and oligosaccharides (OS). Worldwide interest in OS has been increasing, since they have been accorded the prebiotic status. However, the industrial application of DS for OS synthesis is limited, due to low yield of enzyme production and its low catalytic activity. Hence, there is a great interest for development of new technologies that can provide improved performance of biocatalyst. Enzyme immobilization technology is considered to be a crucial step for cheaper and more efficient usage of DS. Entrapment is one of the widely investigated immobilization methods, where enzymes are enclosed or confined within the polymer matrix without altering their native structure, developing bioreactors for commercial applications. Different matrices such as polyacryl-amide gel, alginate beads and agar–agar have been used for the entrapment of different enzymes and among them agar–agar is a biocompatible, non-toxic and strong solidifying agent for immobilization of various enzymes.
In this work, the entrapment of DS was initiated by different quantity (1:9, 1:4 and 1:1) of dialyzed enzyme into agar- agar solution. Agar solution was prepared in distilled water by vigorous shaking at 100°C, autoclaved and was allowed to cool to 40–45°C. Afterwards, enzyme was incorporated and mixed thoroughly. This mixture was immediately poured into a clean Petri plate and left to solidify at room temperature. Polymer films with and without immobilized DS were analyzed in terms of enzyme activity and reusability and mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation at break and elastic modulus). In order to remove un-entrapped enzyme the films were washed with double deionized water and sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.4) three times prior to enzymatic assay. For quantitative analysis of samples for OS production a Dionex Ultimate 3000 HPLC system was used. 
Results showed that maximum immobilization yield (74.11%) was achieved by use of 2 % agar and (1:9) enzyme: agar ratio. HPLC analysis confirmed the similar trend of OS formation in immobilized samples compared to free enzyme. The lowest tested fraction of enzyme immobilized into polymer matrix (1:9) improved tensile strength of films in comparison with control film, whereas higher concentration of enzyme led to decrease in mechanical resistance of films. Scanning electron microscopy of agar films before and after DS entrapment revealed significant morphological change on the matrix surface. Considering the economic feasibility, the entrapped DS indicated imperative recycling efficiency up to six reaction cycles. The results of this study revealed that an easily available and inexpensive matrix could be successfully employed for DS immobilization and OS production.

AB  - In this work, antimicrobial agar based nanocomposite films containing silver nanoparticles were prepared. For the synthesis, a masterbatch of in situ stabilized silver nanoparticles produced in agar solution was used. The incorporation of silver nanoparticles improved the mechanical and water vapor barrier resistance of films, in comparison to the neat agar film without silver. Agar/Ag films showed high antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. The migration of silver nanoparticles from the agar films, assessed by food contact tests, was less than 0.05 mg/g which is under the legal limits. These results indicated that the agar films incorporated with silver nanoparticles have potential to be used as packaging material.

AB  - Dextransucrase (DS) is extracellular enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of dextran using
sucrose as a substrate, mainly produced by microorganisms belonging to the genera
Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc and Streptococcus. The aim of this study was usage of byproducts
from sugar refineries, molasses and sugar beet pulp (SBP) as a cheap substrate for
DS production. Fermentation process was performed by a natural isolate from water kefir
grain Leuconostoc mesenteroides T3. Molasses (ethanol Factory Alpis, Kovin, Serbia) with
addition of SBP (Fibrex 620, Nordic Sugar, Denmark) was used as fermentation media.
Molasses was diluted in distilledwater to a concentration of 2.5%. SBP was grounded in a
mortarand pestle to a particle size of 500–800μm. Four different treatments were
performed on the SBP before it was added into molasses: NaOH extraction, enzymatic
pretreatment (Viskozym), biological pretreatment (Paenibacillus chitinolyticus CKS1) and
combination of microwave and ultrasound treatment. The enzyme activity was determined
by measuring the concentration of released reducing sugars by DNS method at 540nm,
using fructose as a standard.Combination of microwave and ultrasound treatment as well
as biological pretreatment resulted in low DS activity. The best results of 1.45U/ml were
obtained with alkali and enzymatic pretreatments. Considering that enzymatic treatment
is environmental friendly it provides suitable method for SBP pretreatment for enhanced
DS production on molasses.

AB  - Antimicrobial potential of a film made from dextran incorporated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus was investigated. First, the colloidal Ag NPs solutions of three different concentrations: 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mmol L-1 were made. The next step was preparation of dextran/nanosilver films. Disc diffusion method on agar and quantitative test in liquid medium were performed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of prepared composites. The results obtained in this work demonstrated that dextran-based film incorporated with Ag NPs could be used as a coating to prevent contaminations of working surfaces.

AB  - The aim of this work is the utilization of sugar industry waste: sugar beet pulp and
molasses, as a new approach for manufacture of raw chemicals that can be further
converted into valuable products for food packaging industry. Dextransucrase is one of the
main enzymes which catalyze the transfer of D-glucopyranosyl residues from sucrose to
biopolymer dextran. New approach proposed the use of sugar beet pulp as a supporter for
cells immobilization and molasses as the source of nutrient for production of
dextransucrase by natural isolate from water kefir grain. Afterwards, the dextransucrase
was purified and incubated in 5% sucrose/sodium acetate buffer solution (pH 5.4) at 30◦C
for 48 h, in order to produce dextran. Dextran obtained by this procedure was used for
preparation of edible biobased coating to prolong shelf-life of tomato. In order to improve
mechanical properties of these coatings, poly(glycerol) was added. The dextran coatings
were characterized by mechanical and thermal properties. Moreover, the tomato was
coated with dextran film and evaluated periodically for various quality parameters. The
tensile strength and elongation at break of dextran coatings was 1.62 MPa and 230%,
respectively. Dextran coatings showed adequate thermal stability and could be safely used
for applications up to 200oC. The coated-tomato reduced texture softening, weight loss
and acid production compared with the uncoated tomato, which implied the prolongation
of tomato shelf-life.

AB  - In this paper, physico-chemical and antimicrobial properties of films based on pectin/sodium
alginate blends crosslinked by zinc ions were investigated. The polyglycerol was used as
plasticizer. The blending of pectin with alginate improved properties such as tensile strength,
elasticity and water vapour barrier properties, when compared to the neat pectin film. The
introduction of the cross-linking points caused an appreciable change in the physical
properties due to increased free volume during the cross-linking process with zinc ions. In
addition, zinc-crosslinked films evidenced antimicrobial activity against pathogens:
Staphylococcus aureus, Candida Albicans and Escherichia coli. Overall, the characteristics of
the pectin/sodium alginate films crosslinked with zinc showed their potential interest as
materials for wound dressing.

AB  - The aim of this study was to compare the effects of corona discharge at atmospheric pressure and air RF plasma at low pressure activation of cotton fabrics prior to deposition of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles in order to enhance antibacterial, UV protective and photocatalytic properties. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis proved the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of cotton fibres. Atomic absorption spectroscopy measurements demonstrated that content of TiO2 in the cotton fabrics pre-treated by corona and RF plasma was 31 % higher than in the fabric that did not undergo any treatment prior to loading of TiO2 nanoparticles. In order to obtain maximum reduction of Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, untreated cotton fabric had to be loaded with colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles twice, but only once following the corona or air RF plasma pre-treatment. Loading of cotton fabrics with TiO2 nanoparticles ensured maximum UV protective rating of 50+. Excellent photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles deposited onto cotton fabrics was confirmed by photodegradation of dye methylene blue in aqueous solution under UV illumination.

AB  - This study discusses the effect of silver nanoparticles on antibacterial activity of dyed cotton fabrics. Additionally, the influence of silver nanoparticles presence on the color change of cotton fabrics was studied. Cotton fabrics were dyed with direct dyes: C.I. Direct Yellow 86, C.I. Direct Red 79 and C. I. Direct Blue 78. Dyed fabrics were modified with colloidal silver nanoparticles that were synthesized without using any stabilizer. The antibacterial activity of fabrics was tested against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Color change of cotton fabrics was evaluated via determination of CIE L*, a*and b* coordinates by reflection spectrophotometer. SEM analysis revealed that nearly spherical agglomerates of silver nanoparticles with dimensions between 40-80 nm were evenly deposited onto the surface of cotton fibers independently of applied dye. All cotton fabrics exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against both investigated bacteria. However, the presence of silver nanoparticles negatively affects the color of dyed cotton fabrics. This was particularly pronounced in the case of fabric that was dyed with yellow dye C.I. Direct Yellow 86. These results indicate that more attention should be paid on the order of dyeing and loading of colloidal silver nanoparticles.

AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial properties of hemp fabrics loaded with colloidal Ag nanoparticles. The influence of initial concentration of Ag colloids on the antimicrobial efficiency of hemp fabrics against Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus and fungus Candida albicans was examined. Despite the small amount of Ag in the fabrics after loading from colloids, hemp fabrics exhibited excellent antimicrobial efficiency.

AB  - In this study, antimicrobial efficiency and its laundering durability on cotton and polyester fabrics loaded with colloidal Ag nanoparticles was evaluated. The influence of the presence of Ag nanoparticles on the color change of dyed fabrics and the influence of dyeing on antimicrobial efficiency of Ag loaded fabrics was determined. Despite the low content of Ag nanoparticles detected in the cotton and polyester fabrics, the extraordinary antibacterial and antifungal efficiency was obtained. Ag loaded cotton fabrics exhibited significantly better laundering durability compared to polyester fabrics. In both cases, the color of dyed fabrics was affected by the Ag loading.
