Ultrasound-assisted development and characterization of novel polyphenol-loaded pullulan/trehalose composite films for fruit preservation

Researchers developed a new type of edible food wrap made from natural plant materials (tea polyphenols, pullulan, and trehalose) treated with ultrasound. This wrap is stronger, more protective against oxygen and moisture, and kills harmful bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. When used to wrap fresh apples and pears, it significantly extended their shelf life by reducing browning and decay.

Effects of dietary Fibrafid as phytogenic supplementation in standard and nutrient-reduced diets on breast meat quality, carcass traits, histopathology, and feed efficiency in heat-stressed broilers

This research tested a plant-based feed additive called Fibrafid in broiler chickens raised in hot conditions. When included at 0.25% in their diet, Fibrafid improved meat quality by increasing its ability to retain moisture and enhancing tenderness, while also supporting growth even when using lower-nutrition diets. The additive maintained healthy intestines and improved feed efficiency, offering a practical and sustainable solution for poultry farmers in hot climates.
