Abstract
This study proposed a new film-forming system on wood vinegar (WV)/chitosan (CS) by replacing the traditional chitosan solvent with wood vinegar based on its richness in organic acids and phenolic organic compounds. A film material with excellent antioxidant, UV-shielding and bacteriostatic properties was successfully prepared. Notably, the optimized film has specific mechanical properties (tensile strength 12.97 MPa, elongation at break 38.15 %), superior antioxidant properties (scavenging of DPPH and ABTS radicals of 95.2 % and 99 %, respectively), UV shielding (up to 100 %) in the region of 200 nm–400 nm and excellent bacteriostatic properties (inhibitory circle diameter of up to 8.5 mm and 23 mm for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively). The prepared film could effectively reduce browning and water evaporation from apples (about 56.5 % reduction within 24 h), and decrease the peroxide value of food oil (about 45.2 % reduction within one month comparing with the commercial plastic wrap) during storage. This study provides ideas for the innovative preparation of CS films and the feasibility of sustainable development and utilization of WV.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
