The packaging industry responding to growing consumer demands for product safety, seeks active packaging that allows controlled antioxidant release through incorporating anthocyanin, curcumin, cinnamaldehyde, and other polyphenolic compounds to enhance functional properties of the film antimicrobial interfacial interaction. The research focuses on exploring the impact of adding curcumin and anthocyanin to sugar palm starch/chitosan bionanocomposite films, specifically examining the release kinetics of these bioactive compounds. The biocomposite film with added curcumin exhibits a smoother surface compared to the anthocyanin-based film. Although the thermal stability of the CH/SPS matrix remains unaffected by the addition of anthocyanin and curcumin, the inclusion of these compounds significantly reduces the melting enthalpy of the CH/SPS matrix. Specifically, the addition of curcumin decreases it from 142.96 J/g to 23.43 J/g, and the addition of anthocyanin reduces it to 33.22 J/g. Anthocyanin release from the CH/SPS matrix into water conforms to the Kosmeye-Peppas model (R2 = 0.9808, n = 0.1177), while the release kinetics of curcumin compounds adhere to the Higuchi model (R2 = 0.9968). These findings provide advantageous insights that potentially have implications for a variety of applications, particularly in areas such as sustainable food packaging.

In the work, the antioxidant activity of astaxanthin (AST) and the influence of the base formulation on the kinetics of AST release were studied. Three stable O/W AST-loaded emulsions, differing in droplet size (12.7 m(E1), 3.8 m(E2), 3.2 m(E3)) and a nanoemulsion (0.13 m, NE) were prepared. The results confirmed very strong antioxidant activity of AST. The emulsion internal phase droplet size did not significantly affect the AST release. The amount of released AST was respectively: 13.60% (E1), 11.42% (E2), 9.45% (E3), 9.71% (NE). The best fit to experimental data was obtained using the Higuchi model for emulsions and the Korsmeyer-Peppas model for NE. The results show that the AST release process is limited by the diffusion through carriers and the prepared O/W emulsions can be applied as vehicles for delivery of astaxanthin to the skin, ensuring effective anti-aging action of the cosmetics.

l-menthol has been widely used in flavour, food and pharmaceuticals. Because of its high volatility and whisker growth, l-menthol-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was produced to improve shelf-life, provide protection, and enhance the stability of l-menthol. The inclusion complex was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. The results show that l-menthol was successfully encapsulated in hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. l-menthol loading capacity is about 8.44%. Geometries and binding energies of l-menthol-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes were investigated using molecular mechanics calculations. The shape and orientation of the most stable complex, and the minimum binding energy were determined. L-menthol release from complex was determined by thermogravimetric analysis. Two l-menthol release rate peaks were observed at 69.3 and 279.1°C. The l-menthol release reaction order, release activation energy and the preexponential factor were obtained.
