Abstract
This study utilized fish gelatin (FG) and Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch gum (ASKG) as the film-forming matrices and bamboo leaf flavonoids (BLF) as the active substance to prepare an edible packaging film with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties using the casting method. The physicochemical features of fish gelatin/Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch gum-bamboo leaf flavonoids (FA-BLF) composite films and their ability to preserve chilled pork in a 4 °C refrigerator were studied. The addition of BLF significantly enhanced the mechanical properties, barrier properties, thermal stability, antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial activity of the FA composite films. BLF also cross-linked with FG and ASKG molecules, thereby improving the compactness and smoothness of the FA films. During the storage of chilled pork, the pH value, TVB-N value and TBARS value of the FA-BLF composite films treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group. Moreover, it was more effective in delaying the growth and multiplication of microorganisms in chilled pork. In conclusion, the use of FA-BLF composite films prolonged the shelf life of chilled pork from 6 days to 12 days. Therefore, FA-BLF composite films are expected to be applied as active packaging films for meat preservation.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
