Abstract
Enhancing biodegradable packaging with antioxidative functions effectively improved shelf-life extension capability to reduce food loss and waste. Gallic acid (GA) as antioxidant was compounded with biodegradable polymer blends namely poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) and poly(butylene succinate) (PBAT/PBS) (70/30 and 30/70) at up to 15 % to enhance antioxidant activity. GA addition formed aggregated clumps giving an irregular rough surface, preventing recrystallization and affecting the degree of crystallinity (up to 2-fold) and changes in morphology of each crystalline polymorph, while also modifying mechanical relaxation of the amorphous matrices. Increasing GA content reduced mechanical strength (up to 85 %, and 68 % for 70PBAT/30PBS and 30PBAT/70PBS) and increased permeability (up to 2.4 and 11.8 folds for water vapor and oxygen permeation, respectively) because of a less homogeneous structure. Release of antioxidant capacity was monitored by DPPH radical scavenging activity in aqueous simulants (water, 10 % ethanol, 50 % ethanol and acetic acid) and was mainly dependent on simulant types and GA loading. Radical scavenging activity corresponded with the release of phenolic compounds from the sheets. The 30PBAT/70PBS blend containing GA at 15 % showed the highest antioxidant capacity. Results showed that active biodegradable packaging could be used to prolong the oxidative degradation of foods.
期刊介绍:
Food packaging is crucial for preserving food integrity throughout the distribution chain. It safeguards against contamination by physical, chemical, and biological agents, ensuring the safety and quality of processed foods. The evolution of novel food packaging, including modified atmosphere and active packaging, has extended shelf life, enhancing convenience for consumers. Shelf life, the duration a perishable item remains suitable for sale, use, or consumption, is intricately linked with food packaging, emphasizing its role in maintaining product quality and safety.
