dc.description.abstractActive food packaging’ primary goal is to extend foodstuffs’ shelf life, through a dynamic and continuous interaction between the package and the packaged food. In an emission active packaging, the objective is the gradual release of antioxidant and/or antimicrobial compounds into the food surface, to delay the natural foods’ degradation. The active compounds can be extracted from several sources, such as aromatic plants, seaweeds, fruits by-products, among others. Since 50% of pomegranate is composed by peels, and since it is mainly consumed in juice and jam form, pomegranate peels may represent a considerable asset for the extraction of such compounds. The principal objective of this work was to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of polylactic-based active packaging incorporated with 3% (w/w) of pomegranate peels (PLA/3PP) and 3% (w/w) of pomegranate peels extract (PLA/3PPE). For the in vitro antioxidant activity evaluation, 9.08 cm2 of films were immersed in the food simulator, ethanol 95% (v/v), at 40 °C for 10 days. Then, the DPPH radical scavenging assay was performed, as well as the total content of phenolic compounds, total content in flavonoids, content in punicalagin (A+B) and ellagic acid were determined. Also, to fully determine the total content in punicalagin (A+B) and ellagic acid, the films were kept in methanol at 25 and 40 °C for 24 h. The antimicrobial activity of the films was evaluated with Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Escherichia coli, in accordance with ISO 22196:2011. Results showed that PLA/3PPE presented a higher antioxidant potential and higher content in phenolic compounds and flavonoids. Only ellagic acid was detected in the active PLA-based films. Regarding the antimicrobial activity, both films presented antimicrobial activity against S. aureus.pt_PT
