Abstract
The incorporation of plant extract into biopolymers is an environment-friendly method of fabricating bioactive films (BFs) with multifunctional properties for food packaging. The current work explores the development of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based BFs by combining Ficus religiosa (Peepal) extract (PLE) and Psidium guajava (Guava) extract (GLE) in varying ratios. The impact of extract concentration on the films' physiochemical and functional properties was examined. The structural analysis of the films showed good compatibility between the polymer and extracts. The findings indicate that BFs with PLE and GLE in a 50:50 ratio exhibited better mechanical properties than other films. All the BFs enhanced oxidative stability and UV-blocking properties. Among all combinations, the CMC/GLE100 film (having only GLE and CMC) exhibited the highest antioxidant and UV-blocking properties although transparency is slightly reduced. On employing the CMC/GLE100 film as UV protective packaging, it was able to preserve the color and shape of grapes even after 48 h of direct UV exposure. CMC/GLE100 film, when applied to pack fried items, exhibited enhanced oxidative stability. Overall, CMC/GLE100 film can find potential applications for packaging fruits and fried items.
Highlights
CMC/GLE100 film exhibited enhanced oxidative stability for packing fried items.
CMC/GLE100 film showed potential as UV-blocking film for fruits' packing.
CMC/GLE100 film exhibited very good antioxidant potential.
CMC/GLE100 film has very good UV-blocking properties but decreased transparency.
BFs with PLE/GLE in a 50:50 ratio exhibits very good mechanical properties.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology is a peer-reviewed technical publication for new work in the fields of polymer modifiers and additives, vinyl polymers and selected review papers. Over half of all papers in JVAT are based on technology of additives and modifiers for all classes of polymers: thermoset polymers and both condensation and addition thermoplastics. Papers on vinyl technology include PVC additives.
