Abstract
Functional coatings offer an effective solution to fruit decay, yet reports on lipopeptide-based coatings are highly limited. Moreover, the study of integrating lipopeptides (LPs) with nanomaterials into functional coatings remains unreported. In this study, the crude LP was isolated from the fermentation broth of Bacillus velezensis Q-84, and mono-dispersed silver nanoparticles (Ag@CS NPs) were synthesized using chitosan (CS) as stabilizer. Compared to their individual applications, the combination of LP and Ag@CS NPs demonstrated excellent synergistic antibacterial effects, reducing their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) by 75.0 % and 87.5 %, respectively. Moreover, incorporating LP and Ag@CS NPs into the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix produced composite PVA/LP/Ag@CS NPs coating with great physical stability and barrier properties, good antibacterial and antioxidant capacity. When applied to sweet cherries, the composite coatings reduced the rotting rate by 88.5 % during room temperature storage. In addition, the coatings demonstrated low silver migration and good biocompatibility. The proposed coating presents a promising approach for postharvest fruit preservation by combining antimicrobial metabolites with nanomaterials.
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.
