Introduction

The evolution of reliable process for the installation of silver nanoparticles is a remarkable side of influx nanotechnology as the most active area of research. Nanomaterial’s such as sliver particles has been synthesized by different methods, including hard template through using bacteria fungi and plants, which play a significant role in the field of medicinal and biological applications due to its physiochemical properties, for instance the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles toward gram negative bacteria like Escherichia coli.1 Antimicrobial edible films are a fast develops technology that can be used to control the microbiological degradation of perishable food products. Different organic and inorganic active antimicrobial agents can be inserted into the film templates to prevent unfavourable microbial spoilage revolving during storage of packaged fresh food. Although, most films used to preserve food stuff have been produced from synthetic polymers; nevertheless, for environmental reasons, there is an attention focused lately on natural biopolymers such as polysaccharides, proteins and lipids or the combination of these components for the preparation of food packaging films. These films are usually loaded with antimicrobial agents, who come in contact with food stuff, act upon food born microorganisms and inhibit their growth.2 Packaging material having antimicrobial activity limits or prevents microbial growth by reducing growth rate or extending lag phase of microorganisms. Hence, it leads to an extension of the shelf life and the improved safety of the product. Because of the increase in consumer demand for minimally processed, preservative-free products, the preservative agents must be applied to packaging in such a way that only low levels of preservatives come into contact with the food or natural preservative materials should be used. In order to meet this demand, the film or coating technique is considered to be more effective for applications.3 The natural antimicrobial agent incorporation into a polymeric material for the development of antimicrobial food packaging materials is a new subject. Natural antimicrobial agents such as spice volatile oils (thyme and garlic), organic acids (acetic, citric, lactic acids) nissan are used to produce antimicrobial packaging materials. Nowadays, nanoparticles using plant extracts have gained attention due to it is a simple and economical method. Previous studies reported that the formation of gold and silver nanoparticles by living plants attained the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles by plant leaf extracts and explored their potential applications.4 The extract yields and resulting antioxidant activities of the plant materials are strongly based on the nature of extracting solvent, due to the presence of different antioxidant compounds of varied chemical characteristics and polarities that may or may not be soluble in a particular solvent. Polar solvents are frequently employed for the recovery of polyphenols from a plant matrix.5 Gelatin has been attracted the attention for the developments of edible films due to its abundance and biodegradability to improve the water vapour barrier properties of the gelatin films. Gelatin films with strong water vapour barrier properties could be an alternative ecofriendly edible film could be used to preserve the shelf life of foods, especially those sensitive to the quality changes induced by moisture absorption.6 The postharvest life of strawberries can be extending by several techniques combined with refrigeration. Edible films have long been known to protect perishable food products from deterioration. The purpose is to extend the shelf life of produce and to provide a barrier against hazards. It may retard moisture migration and the loss of volatile compounds, reduce the respiration rate, and delay changes in textural properties. Also, it displays an excellent barrier to fats and oils, and has a high selective gas permeability ratio CO2/O2 as compared to conventional synthetic films.7 Strawberries are one of the most popular summer fruits worldwide that are characterized with unique and highly desirable taste and flavour. They are rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, vitamins and amino acids. The main characteristics related to the quality of the ripe strawberries are their texture, flavour (organic acids and soluble sugars content) and colour.8,9 The objective of this work is extraction silver AgNo3 and extract luria leaves/acetic acid glacial synthetic nanoparticles loaded on gelatin films, and physical & mechanical, viscosity, vapour, zeta particle size emulsion and SEM to select the best edible coating previous check to improve strawberry fruit storability under cold storage. Also, it is aimed to minimizing decay and microbial growth during the storage period.

Rheology concerns with the flow and deformation of substances and, in particular, to their behaviour in the transient area between solids and fluids. Moreover, rheology attempts to define a relationship between the stress acting on a given material and the resulting deformation and/or flow that takes place22 Knowledge of the rheological properties of food products is important for design and process evaluation, process control. In addition, the characterization of time-dependent rheological properties of food systems is important to establish relationships between structure and flow(Table 2).23,24

Particle size: The results recorded in the Table 3 and Figure 3, indicate that the effect of added nanomaterial's treatments (a, b, c, d and e) of edible solution supplement with nano materials on the properties of the definitions of solution evaluated on the change in size and the z-potential of the nanoparticles relative to the films nanomaterials, polydispersity index (pdI) in the peak was 0.429,0440,0.198,0.224 and 0.256 for (a, b, c , d and e) respectively as well as diameter of particle size in the peak 3 was 332.3,407.0,411.0,577.8 and 660.2 for (a, b, c, d and e) respectively. While it was found that the Figure 4 & 5 (PdI) in the peak was 1.000,0.655,0.983,0.981 and 0.604 for (f, g, h, I and j) respectively as well as diameter of particle size in the peak 5was 17.7, 14.50, 12.64, 5.70 and 71.26 for (f, g, h, I and j) respectively.

The decrease in particle size also reduced the Zeta potential value. It is known that the magnitude of such Zeta potential is an indication of the potential stability of colloidal systems. All particles in suspension with a Zeta potential higher than +30 or lower than -30 mV, tend to repel each other, being considered stable. But if its Zeta potential lies between +30 to -30mV, they tend to attract each other and to flocculate.24,25

Zeta potential: It is clear from the results of the study that zeta potential and zeta deviation was measured to determine the stability of nanoparticle, it depends on the of nanoparticle size of samples (a , b , c , d and e) of edible films nanomaterial’s, solution as shown in Table 3 and Figure 4. The results of zeta potential (mv) and zeta deviation were as follows: (13.4,14.5,17.7,15.7and 20.2) respectively and zeta deviation: (2.97,3.30,4.06,2.68,and 4.02 ) respectively, whereas found that the Figure 6 characterization of the one peak of zeta potential and zeta deviation the area below the curve was 100% found that the contents of zeta potential in transactions on peak ( f , g , h , i and j) had zeta potential (mV) ( 5.58,5.13,6.03,5.65 and 5.48 ) respectively , as well as the contents of zeta deviation in transactions on peak ( 2.68,2.67,3.46,3.35 and 3.11 ) respectively. Zeta potential standard the electric charge at the limit of a colloidal particle, and it is an important index for its surface charge. Zeta potential determines the electrostatic repulsion among them and is accountable for their stability against precipitation and it is usually obtained by measuring and converting from the electerophoretic mobility of the particles. As recommended by Zi Teng et al .,(2013) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM,2003),26 zeta potentials with an absolute value of higher than 30 mv are indicative for “moderate to good “ stability of colloidal systems (ASTM). The higher the zeta potential the better the stability of dispersion. A desirable zeta potential Teng et al.,(2015) choosing highly charged polymers (e.g., protein or chitosan) as an encapsulant . Whereas, when poorly charged materials are employed for encapsulation, a second layer of highly charged polymers may be introduced to improve the dispersion stability (Zi Teng, et al.(2015).

Nanotechnology on gelatin films using (SEM) scanning electron microscopy: The microscopic images of ten edible nanoparticle films are presented in figure (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i and j). The edible films give films characterized with flat emerge and clumsy bottom average size from 40 to 50 um polygonal crystals spherical and ellipsoidal morphology. Also contains films has homogeneous structure with some micro granules embedded in a continuous matrix. However, the edible films nano particles produced films the characterized with a smooth surface Figure 7. It was found that by characterizing the image with nano values it was found to increase with (a332.3nm), (b407.0nm), (c411.0nm), (d577.0nm) except for the control much higher (e 660.2nm )) and decreases with (f 17.7nm), (g 14.50 nm), (h 12.64nm), (i5.70nm) except for the control increased (j71.26nm). The preparation of spherical particles of uniform size (200nm) has been found to be rather narrow, with several other kinds of poly disperse aggregates and anisotropic structures being formed above or below the optimum pH 6 the particle size have a wide of shapes and size according to patricia et al (2010).27 Similar to our study, the SEM image the size of the control silver nitrate obtained was greater than 1000nm size, whereas synthesized silver nanoparticles measured 20–30nm in size according to Krishnaraj et al (2010).1

Applications of chosen proper nanomaterial’s of edible films to strawberries fruit

Physico-chemical and microbiological of coated strawberries fruit during storage period

Weight loss percentage: The results indicated in Table 4 found that the treatments (a , b ,c ,d and e) increase the values of weight loss with increasing the storage period at cooled temperatures and also found that the increase in the percentage of loss was in the control . It was also found that the treatments (f, g, h, I and j) were low in the percentage of weight loss compared to other treatments. As noted that the values of the losses are increasing gradually treatments (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, I and j) respectively. The basic mechanism of weight loss from fresh fruit and vegetables is by vapour pressure at different locations,28 although respiration also causes a weight reduction.29 This reduction in weight loss was probably due to the effects of the coating as a semi-permeable barrier against O2, CO2, moisture and solute movement, thereby reducing respiration, water loss and oxidation reaction rates.30,31 In both samples kept in packaged plastic trays and with carton boxes and packaged in plastic trays.

Total soluble solids (TSS): In general, there was a gradual increase in total soluble solids (TSS) during the complete storage period at cooled temperatures (Table 5) the TSS was reduction in control as compared to other treatments. As noted the values of the increasing gradually treatments (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, I and j ) respectively. Decreased respiration rates also slow down the synthesis and use of metabolites resulting in lower (TSS).28 Coating film on the surface of strawberry reduced respiration rate and vital process, thus reducing the loss of TSS during storage.32 The interaction between treatments and storage period was not significant in both seasons.

Total acidity: The changes in total acidity of strawberries were determined during storage period at cooled temperatures. The obtained results are recorded in Table 6. The results indicated that the total acidity gradually decreased with increasing of storage period at cooled temperature. It is also considered that coatings reduce the rate of respiration and may therefore delay the utilization of organic acids.28 Retention of acidity has been reported previously for various strawberries fruit treated with edible coatings and films Gomaa et al., (2016).33 Acidity retention was reported by Tanada-Palmu and Grosso, (2005),32 using strawberry fruits coated with gluten film. Slowing down the strawberry respiration rate by means of an edible coating could explain the delay in the use of organic acid in the enzymatic reactions of respiration Debeaufort., et al (1998).34

Colour changes: The colour changes was measured recording lightness (L*value), Chroma (intensity of colour) and hue angle (hº). Lightness of the strawberries was affected by storage time Table 7. The results indicated that the strawberries gradually decreased with increasing of storage period at cooled temperatures. The lightness (L*) gradually decreased during storage in both uncoated and coated strawberries. The highest decrease in lightness was observed in uncoated (control, e) and (control, j) strawberries. Changes in the hue-angle (ho) value of coated fruit with storage time were slight and only became significant at the end of the storage period .Chroma was reduced by around 30% for control and 10% for coated fruit. The coating solution gave rise to significant differences in fruit colour by the end of the storage period, surface colour of fruits.35 It is possible that Arabic gum provided a thick barrier against ethylene production and gas exchange between inner and outer environments and therefore delayed the ripening of the fruit during, storage Gomaa et al., (2016).33 These results were agreements with those obtained by Colla et al (2006),36 they found that strawberry fruits treated with edible coating delayed fruits senescence in which the external and internal colour was lighter than that of uncoated fruits. Thus, the senescence delay, evidenced by the decrease in colour changes, demonstrates the effectiveness of this coating.

Firmness: From the results of the study in a Table 8 show the effect of using edible coating with nanomaterials on firmness of strawberry during refrigerated storage. The results in Table 8 indicate that the strawberry fruit decreased with increased period of storage days for both treated and control. At the end of storage, control fruit clearly showed the lowest firmness. These results are in agreement with Tanada-Palmu and Grosso (2005),32 they stated that edible coating showed a good result with respect to the retention of fruit firmness probably because this coating slowed down metabolism and prolonged the storage life. Strawberries treated with CaCl2 carried by soy protein or gluten film significantly delayed the loss of fruit firmness compared to control. The favourable effect of CaCl2 treatment in reduction of firmness loss of strawberries during storage may be due to the stabilization of membrane systems and formation of Ca-pectats, which increase the rigidity of the middle lamella and cell wall to increase resistance for polygalacturonase activity Poovaiah.,(1986).37 The interaction between treatments and storage period was significant in the two seasons. In this concern, strawberry fruits treated by soy plus Ca maintained the fruit firmness for 12 days at 0°C, however untreated control maintained the firmness for 6 days from storage, then firmness decrease was more rapidly until the storage end McGuire., (1992).38 It could be responsible for delaying ripening which resulted in the reduction of firmness loss during storage.27 found that increasing respiration activates increased water loss and most likely decreased potential texture depression.

Total count: The use of edible coating with nanomaterials on which have antimicrobial activity extend the shelf-life of strawberry. The results are shown in Table 9 shows the changes in total bacterial counts of strawberry coated with nanomaterials during storage periods at 0.5ºC.The data indicates that total counts gradually increased with increasing the cold storage period of strawberry in both (a ,b ,c ,d and e) and (f ,g ,h ,i and j) of edible films nanomaterials. The results in Table 9 showed that the microbial load increases with the increase of storage in all storage treatments and the increase in the control is higher than other treatments. Storage lasted only 6 days compared to treatments 12 days of storage. It was also found that the treatments (f, g, h, I and j) are lower in microbial load than treatments (a, b, c, d and e) . The counts reached to 10.89–12×101 CFU/g after 12 days of storage for in both coated and uncoated samples , as compared with the initial counts 0.35×101 CFU/g.

The reduction of microorganisms in strawberries treated with antimicrobial activity Shelef (1994),39 which provides a protective antimicrobial barrier against food borne pathogens in product Weaver and Shelef (1993).40 Also, micro flora is usually restricted to fungal and lactic acid bacteria when pH was low.41

Moulds and yeast

The changes in moulds and yeast counts of fresh strawberry were determined during cold storage. The obtained results are shown in Table 10, The results indicated that the moulds and yeast counts gradually increased with increasing the storage period at cold temperature in both samples packaged in coated and uncoated forms. The samples uncoated indicates higher mould and yeast counts than coated ones. The moulds and yeast counts reached to 8.45–9.85×101CFU/g after 12 days of storage for in both coated and uncoated samples, as compared with the initial counts 0.12 × 101 CFU/g. These materials offer the possibility of obtaining thin films and coatings to cover fresh or processed foods to extend their shelf life. Edible films and coatings offer extra advantages such as edibility, biocompatibility, esthetic appearance, barrier to gasses properties, non-toxicity, non-polluting and its low cost. In addition, bio-films and coatings, by themselves are acting as carriers of foods additives (i.e.: antioxidants, antimicrobials), and have been particularly considered in food preservation due to their ability to extend the shelf life.42

Conclusion

It could be concluded that gelatin films the best samples treatment were AgNo3 nanoparticles action of extract Luria leaves / glacial acetic acid loaded on gelatin films treatments (f, g, h and i ) 17.7, 14.50, 12.64 and 5.70 respectively followed by samples extract of luria leaves /glacial acetic acid synthetic nanoparticles loaded on gelatin films treatments ( a, b, c and d ) 332.3, 407.0, 411.0 and 577.0 respectively as compared with control (e 660.2 and j 71.26) were chosen to the rheological and mechanical properties , permeability, particle and zeta potential emulsion and scanning electron microscopy. He found that the control (e and j) was spoiled reject samples after 6 days while the remaining of the treatments lasted up to 12 days in strawberries. Samples coated with (f, g, h, i) reduced the weight loss and microbial count. The effect of adding AgNo3 with extract Luria leaves/glacial acetic acid nano materials on gelatin films to prolong extend product shelf life and reduce the risk of microorganism’s growth and improved quality on strawberries.43–47
