Abstract
This study aimed to prepare a degradable bacteriostatic aerogel pad using nanocellulose (CNC) as a matrix material, chitosan (CTS) as cross-linking agent, and graphene oxide (GO) as a reinforcement phase using a freeze-drying technique to absorb pork exudate and extend pork’s shelf life. With an increase in GO concentration, the network structure in CNC/CTS/GO aerogel was more uniform, and the mechanical properties, water adsorption capacity, and bacterial inhibition were gradually enhanced. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that adding of GO affected the chemical structure and thermal stability of the aerogels. Based upon effects of GO concentration on the structure and properties of the CNC/CTS/GO aerogel, 0.4 wt% of GO was selected to prepare aerogels for use as packaging pads for fresh pork. At 4 °C, the aerogel pads in of the GO-0.4 group could absorb the juices released throughout the pork storage process, delay pork color deterioration, and inhibit microorganism growth as well as decrease in pH and the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content, thus prolonging the fresh pork’s shelf life.
期刊介绍:
Food and Bioprocess Technology provides an effective and timely platform for cutting-edge high quality original papers in the engineering and science of all types of food processing technologies, from the original food supply source to the consumer’s dinner table. It aims to be a leading international journal for the multidisciplinary agri-food research community.
The journal focuses especially on experimental or theoretical research findings that have the potential for helping the agri-food industry to improve process efficiency, enhance product quality and, extend shelf-life of fresh and processed agri-food products. The editors present critical reviews on new perspectives to established processes, innovative and emerging technologies, and trends and future research in food and bioproducts processing. The journal also publishes short communications for rapidly disseminating preliminary results, letters to the Editor on recent developments and controversy, and book reviews.
