Abstract
Carbon dots perform a variety of functions when they are incorporated into active films synthesized from soy protein isolate/polyvinyl alcohol. The study examined the impact of varying concentrations of carbon dots on the structural, bioactive, and physicochemical properties of composite films. The addition of carbon dots improved the UV-blocking rate (up to 99.64%) with a higher water-barrier property of the films. The films with carbon dot-enhanced antioxidant activities (ABTS was 99.71%, and DPPH was 51.44%) exhibited strong antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In a hydrophilic environment, the high release rate of carbon dots was found to enhance the biological activity of films. The application of 0.8% composite film resulted in significant shelf-life extension for fresh jujubes, meatballs, and soybean oil. These results demonstrated the feasibility of composite films as an active packaging material.

期刊介绍：
Antioxidants (ISSN 2076-3921), provides an advanced forum for studies related to the science and technology of antioxidants. It publishes research papers, reviews and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation or experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary electronic material.
