Öğe Antimicrobial topical polymeric films loaded with Acetyl-11-keto- β-boswellic acid (AKBA), boswellic acid and silver nanoparticles: Optimization, characterization, and biological activity (vol 10, e31671, 2024)(Cell Press, 2024) Jawad, Muhammad; Bhatia, Saurabh; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Ullah, Sana; Halim, Sobia Ahsan; Khan, Ajmal; Koca, Esra[No abstract available]Öğe Antimicrobial topical polymeric films loaded with Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), boswellic acid and silver nanoparticles: Optimization, characterization, and biological activity(Cell Press, 2024) Jawad, Muhammad; Bhatia, Saurabh; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Ullah, Sana; Halim, Sobia Ahsan; Khan, Ajmal; Koca, EsraThe study examined the antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of pure Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), boswellic acid (70%) and AKBA loaded nanoparticles as topical polymeric films. The optimized concentration (0.05 % w/v) of pure AKBA, boswellic acid (BA), and AKBA loaded silver nanoparticles were used to study its impact on film characteristics. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), sodium alginate (SA), and gelatin (Ge) composite films were prepared in this study. The polymeric films were evaluated for their biological (antioxidant and antimicrobial activities) and mechanical characteristics such as tensile strength (TS) and elongation (%). Moreover, other parameters including water barrier properties and color attributes of the film were also evaluated. Furthermore, assessments were conducted using analytical techniques like FTIR, XRD, and SEM. Surface analysis revealed that AgNP precipitation led to a few particles in the film structure. Overall, the results indicate a relatively consistent microstructure. Moreover, due to the addition of AKBA, BA, and AgNPs, a significant decrease in TS, moisture content, water solubility, and water vapor permeation was observed. The films transparency also showed a decreasing trend, and the color analysis revealed decreasing yellowness (b*) of the films. Importantly, a significant increase in antioxidant activity against DPPH free radicals and ABTS cations was observed in the CSG films. Additionally, the AgNP-AKBA loaded films displayed significant antifungal activity against C. albicans. Moreover, the molecular docking analysis revealed the inter-molecular interactions between the AKBA, AgNPs, and composite films. The docking results indicate good binding of AKBA and silver nanoparticles with gelatin and carboxymethyl cellulosemolecules. In conclusion, these polymeric films have potential as novel materials with significant antioxidant and antifungal activities.Öğe Gelatin/calcium-caseinate films loaded with petitgrain essential oil for sustainable food packaging(Wiley, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Jawad, Muhammad; Diblan, Sevgin; Khan, Talha Shireen; Koca, EsraThis research focuses on the development and assessment of films composed of gelatin (GE) and calcium caseinate (CC), loaded with varying concentrations of petitgrain essential oil (PEO). A comprehensive assessment of the resulting films was conducted with a focus on the antioxidant, antibacterial, and physicochemical attributes. GCMS analysis identified the primary constituents of PEO, including linalyl acetate, linalool, alpha-pinene, alpha-terpineol, limonene, beta-myrcene, geranyl acetate, and neryl acetate. The antioxidant capacity of GE-CC films increased significantly with increasing PEO concentration, as evidenced by DPPH and ABTS assays. Simultaneously, increased PEO concentration led to increased thickness, water vapour permeability (WVP), elongation at break (EAB), and water solubility (WS) in the active films while reducing moisture content (MC) and tensile strength (TS). In terms of optical characteristics, the transparency of the films decreased, while the b* (yellowness) and Delta E (total colour variation) values increased upon oil incorporation. The presence of intermolecular interactions between the polymers and the oil was confirmed through FTIR and morphological characteristics studied by SEM. The addition of PEO to the films resulted in improved thermal resistance against degradation, as observed in the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, these active films showed potent antimicrobial activity against C. albicans and P. aeruginosa. In summary, this study underscores the suitability of GE-CC films containing PEO for food packaging purposes, highlighting their functional characteristics and environmentally friendly nature. Visual analysis of gelatin and calcium caseinate blank and composite films loaded with and without varying concentrations of petitgrain essential oil. Film samples loaded with and without oil exhibited homogeneous and even structures without any irregularities, demonstrating the good film-forming properties of the biopolymers as well as their compatibility with other components. imageÖğe Impregnation of Pectin-Sodium Caseinate Films with Lemongrass Essential Oil: Physical-Chemical, Antimicrobial, and Antioxidant Assessment(Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Khan, Talha Shireen; Alhadhrami, Aysha Salim; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Philip, Anil K.; Diblan, Sevgin; Koca, EsraBiopolymers derived from natural resources have gained much interest in the past few decades to replace conventional nonbiodegradable petroleum-based packaging. Essential oils and plant extracts are frequently utilized for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties in the development of edible films and coatings serving as bioactive compounds. The current study investigated the impact of various concentrations of lemongrass essential oil (LEO) on the physical and chemical characteristics as well as the antioxidant capabilities of films made from sodium caseinate and pectin. The addition of LEO led to a decrease in mechanical parameters of film samples like elongation at break (EAB) decreased from 19.73 +/- 0.81 to 4.06 +/- 0.20 and tensile strength (TS) decreased from 11.16 +/- 0.81 to 2.43 +/- 0.08 but a rise in opacity (4.39 +/- 0.14 to 5.60 +/- 0.13), thickness (0.044 +/- 0.005 to 0.078 +/- 0.005), and water vapor permeability (WVP) (0.391 +/- 0.013 to 0.760 +/- 0.035) was observed. The gloss value of the film samples increased from 11.9 +/- 0.1 to 13.1 +/- 0.1, and haziness increased from 45.85 +/- 1.05 to 71.69 +/- 0.25 as the concentration of LEO increased, reducing their transparency (89.22 +/- 0.27-88.24 +/- 0.19). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed additional microstructural alterations in the films as a result of the addition of LEO. Furthermore, antimicrobial activity was detected in the PSC4 film sample against E. coli. The oil-loaded films showed significantly higher antioxidant activity of 40.41% compared to the control film sample, having 16.57% antioxidant activity. Contact angle measurements demonstrated that the film samples became more hydrophobic with the addition of LEO (55.52 degrees in the maximum LEO concentrated film). This study introduces a promising method for creating active food packaging materials for packaging applications.Öğe The Reflections of Grandmothers' Care on Mothers' Child- Rearing Practices(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Akcay, Sinan; Bayyar, Aliye Beyza; Koca, Esra; Sarioglu, SenemThis research employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore the reflections of grandmothers' caregiving on mothers' child care practices. Within the research framework, in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 mothers, whose children received or are receiving care from their own mothers or mothers-in-law. Following a thematic analysis of the acquired data, three prominent themes emerged: views on child rearing styles, challenges associated with grandmother care, and opportunities related to grandmother care. The results indicate variations in child-rearing styles between mothers and grandmothers, with instances of both alignment and divergence. While grandmother care poses multifaceted challenges to the mother, child or mother-child relationship, it concurrently affords opportunities for increased maternal-child bonding and enhanced comfort in the child care process for the mother. The research findings demonstrate the multidimensional nature of grandmother care process, underscoring the necessity for support mechanisms such as institutional trainings and social services to mitigate potential adverse reflections of this process. Future research could explore different dimensions and long-term reflections of grandmother care.
