ABSTRACT

11

Cellulose acetate films (CAF) with Cymbopogon citratus were tested on coalho cheese

12

to investigate the migration of α, β-Citral and the quality cheese. The film was evaluated

13

for mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, thickness and solubility and the

14

cheese packed was evaluated every 25 days to texture, color, and presence of the citral

15

by volatile analyzes, using gas chromatography with FID detector. The film thickness

16

varied, mechanical analysis of the film showed good condition, demonstrating a film

17

with rigidity and flexibility. The cheese’s texture had no changes and the yellow color

18

was enhanced during the 25 days. In the first two hours, cheese packed control

19

percentage areas of the neral and geranial on the surface of the cheese were around 1.2

20

x105, indicating that the volatiles passed to the cheese surface quickly and reached their

21

maximum levels in ten days. From day 15, citral levels in the cheese decreased with this

22

tendency until the 25th day. Dispersion of the citral on the surface to the inner part of the

23

coalho cheese was observed, reaching great migration from the 20th day. These results

24

suggest that the film used with the essential oil was active and could guarantee a safer

25

food.

Keywords: essential oil, migration, active packaging 1. Introduction Active packaging is an important strategy that can be decisive as a competitive

29

advantage in the food industry in many ways, and one of which is the growing concern

30

over the microbiological quality of food. The use of packages with antimicrobial agents

31

has the advantage of diffusing these compounds to the surface of the food in a

32

controlled way. Thus, they are present in smaller quantities in response to current

33

consumer demand for preservative-free food, and mainly only on the product surface

34

where most of the deteriorations occur, and where their presence is required. When

35

antimicrobials are released from the packaging over time, the kinetics of microbial

36

growth and the antimicrobial activity on the product surface can be balanced. Thus, the

37

antimicrobial activity of the package can be extended, ensuring security during food

38

distribution (Otoni et al., 2014; Rizzolo et al., 2016). Patents have already been

39

described regarding the use of antimicrobial packaging (Manso, Pezo, Gómez-Lus, &

40

Nerín, 2014; Manso, Becerril, Nerín, & Gómez-Lus, 2015). In 2011, Miltz et al. (2011)

41

observed several patents had been filed in the US by proposing active packaging with

42

linalool extracts, methyl chavicol, citral, geraniol, methyl cinnamate, methyl eugenol,

43

1,8-cineole, trans - α - bergamotene, carvacrol and thymol. It has been reported that

44

citral is effective at inhibiting the growth of a wide range of micro-organisms (Seow,

Studies suggest that citral is the major constituent of the essential oil responsible

47

for antimicrobial activity (Naik, Fomda, Jaykumar, & Bhat, 2010; Mohamed Hanaa,

48

Sallam, El-Leithy, & Aly, 2012; Tak, Jovel, & Isman, 2016). Citral is the name given to

49

natural mixture of two acyclic aldehyde monoterpene isomers: Geranial (trans-citral, α -

50

citral) and neral (cis-citral, β-citral) (Boukhatem, Ferhat, Kameli, Saidi, & Kebir, 2014; 2

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Ekpenyong, Akpan, & Nyoh, 2015; Sethiya, Raja, & Mishra, 2015). It may be found

52

naturally in the leaves and fruit of various plant species, including lemon (Miron et al.,

53

2014; Tyagi, Gottardi, Malik, & Guerzoni, 2014), orange (Sawamura, Tu, Yu, & Xu,

54

2005), tomato (Amini, Farhang, Javadi, & Nazemi, 2016) and lemon grass (Santos

55

Neto, Schwan-Estrada, Alves De Sena, Jardinetti, & Rodrigues Alencar, 2016). The

56

efficiency antimicrobial of C. citratus was evaluated, in vitro, for Escherichia coli,

57

Listeria innocua, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella

58

choleraesuis and Staphylococcus aureus. In this study C. Citratus EO was more

59

efficient for Gram positive bacteria than Gram negative (Machado, Pereira, Sousa, &

60

Batista, 2015). The antimicrobial activity of O. seloi, O. gratissimun and C. citratus, at

61

concentrations of 0.78%; 1.56%; 3.12%; 6.25%; 12.50%; 25%; 50% and 100%, was

62

evaluated on Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus,

63

Salmonella Enteritidis, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium spp. Almost all EO presented

64

antimicrobial activity from the concentration of 6.25%. C. citratus inhibited L.

65

monocytogenes at all concentrations evaluated. In the same way, cellulose acetate films

66

incorporated with 10% and 20% of the oils C. citratus, L. origanoides and O.

68

3.1. Film characterization Table 1 presents water vapor permeability, solubility, and thickness of the

178

cellulose acetate film with Cymbopogon citratus essential oil and control film. Since the

179

essential oils are insoluble in water, the data show that there is no change in water vapor

180

permeability, even when there is the presence of Cymbopogon citratus essential oil

181

permeating the previously empty spaces of the acetate film. It is also observed that the

182

increase in thickness does not seem to have contributed to the performance of WVP,

183

and this can be affirmed by the fact that there is no significant difference in statistical

184

treatment.

M AN U

SC

RI PT

177

According to Fadini et al. (2013), WVP coefficients may change with film

186

thickness due to structural changes caused by the hydrophilic matrix swelling or

187

contraction of the hydrophobic matrix, affecting the film structure and may cause

188

internal stress which influences its permeation. The study film performed better than

189

other biopolymer films, such as fruit and vegetable film residues (WVP 2.45

190

g.mm/KPa.h.m2 - thickness: 0.262 mm - solubility about 90%) (Andrade, Ferreira, &

The mechanical properties of the film with and without essential oil (EO) are

198

shown in table 2. In general, the mechanical parameters presented little change from

199

incorporating the oil, except for tension at rupture; in other words, the film became

8

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT more fragile after the addition of EO. The addition of 10% EO into the cellulose acetate

201

film allowed for incorporating the oil without there being significant mechanical

202

damage to the matrix. An important factor why a higher EO concentration was not

203

added is that there was a large discontinuity in the film at higher levels, making it more

204

heterogeneous and fragile.

RI PT

200

Previous studies have described different effects of EO incorporation on

206

polymer matrices, as Sánchez-González, Chiralt, González-Martínez, & Cháfer (2011)

207

found similar tendencies to this study in chitosan-based films. Kechichian, Ditchfield,

208

Veiga-Santos, & Tadini (2010) also concluded that there was a decrease in rupture

209

stress of the starch film after the addition of clove and cinnamon powder. Ahmed &

210

Ikram (2016) also reported that EO in PLA films showed lower tensile strength with a

211

higher percentage of elongation at break in their control. Limpisophon, Tanaka, &

212

Osako (2010) have observed that the addition of EO may cause a decrease in the chain-

213

chain interaction of the polymer, significantly reducing the film’s tensile strength. All

214

the results show that the effect of EO on the mechanical properties of the film depends

215

on the type and concentration of the kind of polymer matrix and its specific interactions

216

which determine the adhesion forces at the polymer-oil interface (Ahmad, Benjakul,

217

and from this it is possible to generate a force x time curve, from which the textural

hardness parameter it was observed that the samples of coalho cheese showed

227

significant differences (p<0.05), justified by the lack of uniformity commonly found in

228

the characteristics of this type of cheese even though it of the same lot. This sensorial

229

property is defined as the force necessary to compress the food between the molar teeth,

230

and instrumentally as the force required to cause a particular deformation. In the results

231

obtained for the texture parameters, it was verified that the cheeses packed with acetate

232

film presented reduced hardness in the times 10 and 15 days and these values presented

233

a slight increase in the times 20 and 25 days in relation to the control. Some hardness

234

can be attributed to the colloidal calcium content that may have occurred in milk

235

coagulation. Cohesiveness showed a slight decreased during the 25 days of storage

236

when comparing with control sample. The values of elasticity of the cheese did not

237

show changes in most of the times studied. These attributes are directly related to the

238

amount of salt and pH of the cheeses and in reactions during cheese storage, where part

239

of the maturation takes place. These indicators were not studied in this study. However,

240

it is observed that the texture parameters did not present significant oscillations with the

10

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT and external parts of cheeses presented higher L* values (P<0. 05) from 5 days of

251

storage on ward. In color evaluation, the L* parameter indicates lightness and the

252

capacity of an object to reflect or transmit light based on a scale ranging from 0 to 100.

253

Higher lightness values result in clearer objects. The average L* values in this study

254

were higher than those found by Queiroga et al. (2013) for Coalho cheese made from

255

cow’s milk. The increase in b* values during the period studied indicate the most

256

intense yellow coloration which can be attributed to the occurrence of proteolysis and

257

the Maillard reaction, which decrease luminosity due to the production of browning

258

compounds (Lucas, Rock, Agabriel, Chilliard, & Coulon, 2008). The assessed samples

259

presented high luminosity (L*) values, with apredominance of the yellow component

It is also noted that the cheese citral levels decrease considerably from the 15th

272

its molecular mass is 152 g/mol; this is much larger than that of the water molecule,

interior analysis of the cheese at15 days does not observe significant values of the citral

for the citral were 2.5x103 ± 127 % for the neral and 2.2x103 ± 121 % for the geranial.

275

On the other hand, it is observed in Figure 3 (film data) that the values do not

285

suffer a drastic decrease over time. A plausible explanation may be that the

286

immobilization process of the antimicrobial in the polymer (cellulose acetate) occurs in

287

a heterogeneous way. In fact, it is understood that a part may have been using

288

intermolecular forces or covalent bonds, thereby trapping the volatile components in the

289

structure of the film; and another part has detached from the film to the surface of the

290

cheese. Antimicrobial action occurs through direct contact and migration of the active

291

ingredient to the cheese. Complete migration of the volatiles from the film to the cheese

292

was not observed in 25 days in this study, leading us to believe that citral migration and

293

diffusion in the cheese occur in a slow and controlled way, playing its protective role.

4. Conclusion

295

M AN U

284

The results indicated that the application of Cymbopogon citratus incorporated

296

into the cellulose acetate film provided excellent resistance to the film as the film did

297

not break during the experiment. The film did not promote major changes in the overall

298

texture of the cheese and the yellow color was enhanced during the 25 days. The

299

presence of EO compounds was only observed on the surface of the cheese during the

12

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT first ten days. In addition, it can be noted that a decrease of citral values on the surface

301

began to occur only from the 15th day, and that this was observed in greater intensity on

302

the 20th day, concluding that there was greater diffusion of neral and geranial to the

303

center of the cheese from this time. In this way, the cellulose acetate film was able to

304

trap the EO’s compounds, and its migration to the cheese occurred over time. Therefore,

305

using citral incorporated into cellulose acetate film could be an alternative for

306

improving the quality of artisanal products such as physical properties.
