description | In the last decades, berries have been identified as important vehicles for the transmission of foodborne viruses and different strategies are being explored to eliminate or reduce viral contamination in these fruits. The aim of this work was to develop novel edible coatings with antiviral properties for inactivating and reducing murine norovirus (MNV). Firstly, the effect of gelatin (G) addition on Persian gum (PG) films was studied in terms of microstructural, mechanical, optical, and water barrier properties. The following PG:G ratios were considered: 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100. Microstructure analysis revealed the compatibility of both hydrocolloids since no phase separation was observed. The addition of G to PG films provided stiffer and more deformable films than pure PG, with lower water vapor permeability values. Specifically, films prepared with 50:50 PG:G ratio presented better mechanical and barrier performance. Interestingly, pure PG showed antiviral activity on murine norovirus, probably due to the presence of some impurities (mainly tannins). Adding allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) enhanced the PG antiviral activity at refrigerated temperatures in blueberries, not being affected by the AITC concentration. This effect was not observed at ambient temperature, probably due to the volatilization of AITC. |
