Gelatin-sodium alginate-based active packaging films were formulated by including date pits extracts (DPE), as bioactive compound, in raw minced beef meat packaging. The DPE effects at 0.37, 0.75 and 1.5% (w/w, DPE/ gelatin-sodium alginate) on physical, optical, antioxidant and antibacterial properties of established films were assessed. Findings showed that film lightness decreased with the incorporation of DPE. Physical, antioxidant and anti-food-borne pathogens capacities were enhanced by increasing DPE concentration in the films. For 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), the films with 1.5% DPE had the greatest levels (94 and 88%, respectively). DPE films (1.5%) also exhibited the highest anti-Listeria moncytogenes activity, with an inhibition zone of 25 mm. Moreover, during 14 days at 4 °C, the bio-preservative impact of gelatin-sodium alginate film impregnated with DPE at three levels on microbial, chemical, and sensory characteristics of meat beef samples was evaluated. By the end of the storage, DPE at 1.5% enhanced the instrumental color, delayed chemical oxidation and improved sensory traits. By chemometric techniques (principal component analysis (PCA) and heat maps), all data allowed to obtain helpful information by segregating all the samples at each storage time. PCA and heat maps could connect oxidative chemical changes, instrumental color parameters, and microbiological properties to sensory attributes. These data offer an approach to well interpreting the sensory quality and how they are affected by chemical and microbiological changes in the studied meat samples. Our findings indicated the potential of the gelatin-sodium alginate film incorporated with DPE for enhancing meat safety and quality.
