Abstract
Foodborne pathogens threaten food safety and human health, prompting the need for innovative preservation solutions. Polydopamine endowed with photothermal properties represents a novel material for the inhibition of foodborne pathogens. This study develops a bilayer antibacterial film using polydopamine-berberine nanoparticles (PDA-BBR), leveraging dual-mode synergistic antibacterial effects through chemical and photothermal mechanisms. The film, incorporating starch and polylactic acid layers, was prepared via solvent casting and characterized for mechanical properties, water vapor permeability (WVP), and antibacterial efficacy. The results revealed that the 2.0 % PDA-BBR film achieved a tensile strength of 4.00 MPa, a WVP of 2.30 × 10−11 g/m·s·Pa, and over 95 % inhibition against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, the film preserved salmon quality by maintaining texture, lowering total volatile basic nitrogen to 16.19 mg/100 g, and inhibiting spoilage during 9 days of storage at 4 °C. These findings highlight PDA-BBR film as a promising food preservation approach with enhanced antibacterial and preservation performance.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Food Microbiology publishes papers dealing with all aspects of food microbiology. Articles must present information that is novel, has high impact and interest, and is of high scientific quality. They should provide scientific or technological advancement in the specific field of interest of the journal and enhance its strong international reputation. Preliminary or confirmatory results as well as contributions not strictly related to food microbiology will not be considered for publication.
