This invention relates to the field of biodegradable packaging film technology, and in particular to a biodegradable packaging film containing
mulberry leaf extract and its preparation method. The film is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 40-60 parts
chitosan, 20-30 parts
sodium alginate, 10-20 parts
gelatin, 1-3 parts
nano zinc oxide, 3-8 parts
mulberry leaf extract, 0.5-1.5 parts crosslinking agent, 3-6 parts
plasticizer, 0.1-0.5 parts nano
titanium dioxide, and 0.5-1 parts
cellulose nanocrystals. This invention uses
chitosan,
sodium alginate, and
gelatin as biodegradable matrices, and combines them with
mulberry leaf extract,
nano zinc oxide, nano
titanium dioxide, and
cellulose nanocrystals. These are crosslinked with a food-grade crosslinking agent to form a dense three-dimensional network. The resulting packaging film possesses biodegradability, high strength and high barrier properties,
water resistance, broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, strong
antioxidant properties, and highly efficient photocatalytic
ethylene removal capabilities. The entire preparation process is green, leaves no
organic solvent residue, and is simple to operate.
