Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs), as multifunctional nanofillers for intelligent packaging, are receiving increasing attention. Curcumin based CDs (Cur-CDs) derived from curcumin and zinc oxide retained the functional properties of curcumin and improved its dispersibility in water. Adding Cur-CDs to gelatin/modified hydroxyethyl cellulose matrix (GH) could improve surface morphology, structure, and functional properties. GH/Cur-CDs films exhibited good hydrophobic properties, outstanding UV-blocking ability (100 % in the range of 200 nm–400 nm), excellently antioxidant properties (84.73 % of DPPH and 68.78 % of ABTS scavenging activities), and good antimicrobial properties. All the films with Cur-CDs displayed a color response to ammonia. GH/Cur-CDs film was used for pork preservation to delay the spoilage. Furthermore, the change in color of GH/Cur-CDs films from yellow to reddish brown achieved visual freshness monitoring of pork. The CDs-based film packaging has the potential as an environmentally friendly intelligent food packaging material.
