Abstract

The main factors that lead to fruit spoilage are ethylene and microbial contamination. The majority of existing studies focus on single regulation tools for extending fruit shelf life, such as controlling ethylene concentration or inhibiting microbial contamination. The objective of this study was to fabricate zein–natamycin (Z-Nt) films that utilize the synergistic effect of zein and natamycin to extend the shelf life of fruits in terms of ethylene adsorption and microbial inhibition. The mechanical properties, contact angle, water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen permeability (OP), ethylene adsorption efficiency, antimicrobial properties, and fruit preservation tests were used to characterize the performances of the Z-Nt films. As the natamycin content increased, the films presented an increase in contact angle and a decrease in WVP, indicating an increase in the hydrophobicity of the films. Furthermore, the natamycin content of the films is inversely proportional to OP and positively proportional to ethylene adsorption efficiency. The antimicrobial properties of the films were evaluated against Geotrichum candidum strain and Wickerhamomyces anomalus isolate. Inhibition of mold growth was observed for all natamycin-containing films. Thus, in the case of bananas, the film has a significant mitigating effect on the browning rate, weight loss rate, and hardness of bananas within a certain storage period. It can therefore be concluded that the film, as a bio-based material, has good application value for extending the shelf life of fruits and improving their storage quality.

用于活性食品包装的具有乙烯吸附和真菌滞留功能的玉米素-纳他霉素功能薄膜
导致水果变质的主要因素是乙烯和微生物污染。现有研究大多集中于延长水果货架期的单一调节手段,如控制乙烯浓度或抑制微生物污染。本研究的目的是制作玉米蛋白-纳他霉素(Z-Nt)薄膜,利用玉米蛋白和纳他霉素的协同效应,在吸附乙烯和抑制微生物方面延长水果的货架期。Z-Nt薄膜的机械性能、接触角、水蒸气透过率(WVP)、氧气透过率(OP)、乙烯吸附效率、抗菌性能和水果保鲜试验均用于表征Z-Nt薄膜的性能。随着纳他霉素含量的增加,薄膜的接触角增大,WVP 下降,表明薄膜的疏水性增强。此外,薄膜中纳他霉素的含量与 OP 成反比,与乙烯吸附效率成正比。对薄膜的抗菌性能进行了评估,结果表明,薄膜对念珠菌菌株和无柄威克霉菌分离株具有抑制作用。所有含纳他霉素的薄膜都抑制了霉菌的生长。因此,对于香蕉来说,在一定的储存期内,薄膜对香蕉的褐变率、重量损失率和硬度都有显著的缓解作用。因此可以得出结论,该薄膜作为一种生物基材料,在延长水果保质期和改善其贮藏质量方面具有良好的应用价值。
