The impact of incorporating MPN@Cur NPs upon the morphology, microstructure, physicochemical characteristics, and functional activities of CS-based films were investigated through scanning electron microscope, infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer, ultraviolet spectrometer, antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity analysis. The outcomes indicated that MPN@Cur NPs exhibited good mechanical compatibility with chitosan, effectively filling voids within the film matrix and significantly enhancing its mechanical characteristics (e.g., elongation at break improved from 22.6% to 37.3%; tensile strength improved from 31.1 MPa to 43.6 MPa). Additionally, films incorporating MPN@Cur NPs displayed superior barrier properties (e.g., water vapor and oxygen transmission), enhanced thermal stability, and improved UV-blocking capabilities compared to pure CS films (transmittance for UV decreased from 93.6% to 35.3%). Moreover, these films exhibited a marked increase in antibacterial efficacy against the foodborne pathogens <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> and <em>Escherichia coli</em>, as well as elevated antioxidant activity (e.g., scavenging capability for DPPH increased from 9.22% to 85.19%, ABTS increased from 8.62% to 80.02%). Ultimately, the CS-based film significantly prolonged the shelf life of milk stored at 25 °C. Therefore, nanocomposite films provide an attractive and promising pathway for the high value-added commercial use of chitosan in food conservation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":320,"journal":{"name":"Food Hydrocolloids","volume":"160 ","pages":"Article 110722"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142528155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to fill in this knowledge gap, three typical carboxylated cellulosic materials, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TCN), carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibrils (CM-CN) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), have been investigated to stabilize Pickering emulsions. There is a common feature among the three carboxylated cellulosic materials that they were all adsorbed at oil-water interface to form an elastic cellulose particle shell around oil droplets. However, the networks formed in the aqueous phase were quite different. For both TCN and CM-CN, the physical entanglement of the fibers and the interactions between fibers, mainly intramolecular hydrogen bonds, led to strong networks in the aqueous phase, thus contributing to good stability of Pickering emulsions. In contrary, the interaction between the suspended CMC particles was limited, which could not drive them to form a continuous network in the aqueous phase, so that CMC was least effective to stabilize oil droplets as indicated by the clearly observed phase separation even in the freshly prepared Pickering emulsions. Specifically, CM-CN with a larger aspect ratio (length of 499 ± 306 nm and diameter of 7 ± 2 nm), excellent thermal stability and comparatively high three phase contact angle (78.4°) was an effective stabilizer to prepare a super-stable Pickering emulsion, which had best emulsifying index (100%) even after 30-day of storage.
