Chitosan/PVA-based films with mushroom nanofibers for improved water barrier properties and shelf life of strawberries
This study reports the development of biodegradable and functional packaging films composed of chitosan (CHI) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), reinforced with mushroom nanofibers (MNFs) extracted from oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus spp.) via alkaline and UV-assisted treatment. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the nanofibrillar morphology of MNFs with diameters ranging from 9.6 to 32.4 nm and lengths exceeding 1 μm. FTIR and TGA analyses revealed successful removal of non-cellulosic components and improved thermal stability upon MNF incorporation. Mechanical properties of the films significantly improved with MNF addition, with tensile strength increasing from 29.1 MPa (control) to 45.1 MPa at 1 wt% MNF. Young’s modulus also increased, while elongation at break decreased from 270 to 63 at 5 wt% MNF, indicating increased rigidity. Water vapor permeability (WVP) and moisture absorption (MA) were notably reduced, with the lowest WVP recorded at 6.02 × 10–10g m–1 s–1 Pa–1 in the 5 wt% MNF film. Biodegradability was enhanced in MNF-containing films, as evidenced by increased weight loss during soil burial. Most notably, films with 1 wt% MNFs effectively preserved strawberries for up to 7 days, significantly delaying spoilage compared to unsealed and neat film controls. The use of mushroom-derived MNFs not only reinforces the physical performance of CHI/PVA films but also contributes to their biodegradability and active food preservation functionality. These films offer a sustainable and effective solution for extending the shelf life of fresh produce in food packaging applications.
期刊介绍:
Food packaging is crucial for preserving food integrity throughout the distribution chain. It safeguards against contamination by physical, chemical, and biological agents, ensuring the safety and quality of processed foods. The evolution of novel food packaging, including modified atmosphere and active packaging, has extended shelf life, enhancing convenience for consumers. Shelf life, the duration a perishable item remains suitable for sale, use, or consumption, is intricately linked with food packaging, emphasizing its role in maintaining product quality and safety.
