Abstract

Real-time quality information on chicken freshness can be obtained using pH-sensing packaging. Real-time quality information on chicken freshness is crucial for ensuring food safety, as chicken is a highly perishable animal product prone to rapid spoilage. This study aimed to develop an pH-sensing film using red pitaya (red dragon) peel (RPP) to monitor chicken freshness. RPP containing 22% pectin, showed promise in forming a film and contains betacyanin, which is commonly used in pH-sensing films. The addition of konjac glucomannan (KGM) as a co-biopolymer to RPP films enhanced their physical and mechanical properties. We utilised Central Composite Design (CCD) within the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) framework, with varying concentrations of KGM from 0.80% to 2.20% and RPP from 0.40% to 1.10%. The optimal treatment involved using 1.74 g of KGM and 0.85 g of RPP powder. The variation in KGM and RPP powder concentrations resulted in the following outcomes: film thickness ranged from 0.11 to 0.15 mm, tensile strength from 2.4 to 7.03 MPa, elongation ranged from 22.50% to 49.17%, opacity from 3.68 to 6.50 mm⁻¹, water solubility from 82.70% to 97.82%, lightness from 61.20 to 74.70, redness from 12.90 to 30.80, and yellowness from 0.20 to 2.80. The incorporation of KGM as a co-biopolymer demonstrably enhanced the physical and mechanical properties of RPP powder-based pH-sensing films. The results highlight RPP/KGM-based films as a novel, sustainable option for intelligent packaging, while promoting red pitaya peel waste as a renewable source of pectin and natural colorants. The freshness of chicken breast is indicated by the color change in RPP/KGM coatings, caused by betacyanin degradation from purple-red to yellow (betalamic acid).

红火果果皮粉和魔芋葡甘露聚糖对ph敏感膜性能的优化

使用ph传感包装可以获得鸡肉新鲜度的实时质量信息。鸡肉新鲜度的实时质量信息对于确保食品安全至关重要，因为鸡肉是一种极易腐烂的动物产品，容易迅速变质。本研究旨在利用红火龙果（红龙）皮（RPP）开发一种ph传感膜，用于监测鸡肉的新鲜度。含有22%果胶的RPP显示出形成薄膜的希望，并含有常用于ph感应薄膜的β花青素。魔芋葡甘露聚糖（KGM）作为共聚物加入到RPP薄膜中，提高了RPP薄膜的物理力学性能。我们采用响应面法（RSM）框架下的中心复合设计（CCD）， KGM的浓度从0.80%到2.20%不等，RPP从0.40%到1.10%不等。最佳处理为添加1.74 g KGM和0.85 g RPP粉。KGM和RPP粉末浓度的变化导致以下结果：膜厚为0.11 ~ 0.15 mm，抗拉强度为2.4 ~ 7.03 MPa，伸长率为22.50% ~ 49.17%，不透明度为3.68 ~ 6.50 mm−1，水溶性为82.70% ~ 97.82%，亮度为61.20 ~ 74.70，红度为12.90 ~ 30.80，黄度为0.20 ~ 2.80。KGM作为共生物聚合物的掺入明显提高了RPP粉末基ph传感膜的物理和机械性能。研究结果突出了RPP/ kgm薄膜作为智能包装的一种新颖、可持续的选择，同时促进了红火龙果皮废料作为果胶和天然着色剂的可再生来源。鸡胸肉的新鲜度是通过RPP/KGM涂层的颜色变化来表示的，这是由甜菜花青素从紫红色降解到黄色（甜菜花青素酸）引起的。图解：魔芋和火龙果红皮ph传感膜的生产示意图

期刊介绍： Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell. A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.
