Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) were mixed with purple tomato anthocyanins (PTA), and then nano zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) or calcium chloride (CaCl2) were added to prepare PVA/CS/PTA/ nano-ZnO (PCP-ZnO) or PVA/CS/PTA/CaCl2 (PCP-CaCl2) films. The effects of nano-ZnO and CaCl2 on the morphology, pH response, color stability, color reversibility, antibacterial activity, antioxidant activity, mechanical properties, water vapor permeability and UV absorption characteristics of films were studied. In addition, its application in intelligent packaging to monitor the freshness of pork was also studied. It was found that both nano-ZnO and CaCl2 can reduce the transmittance of the film in the visible light region, and the film with addition of nano-ZnO was more sensitive to pH. During the 14 day storage period, the film modified with CaCl2 exhibited better color stability. SEM images indicate that the addition of nano-ZnO or CaCl2 alters the microstructure of the film. The mechanical, antibacterial and antioxidant properties and also the application as freshness indicator of PCP-CaCl2 film were superior to those of PCP-ZnO film. Those indicated that the prepared PCP-CaCl2 film is a potential candidate for active and intelligent packaging applications.
