Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomass nanocellulose functional materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a ternary composite preservative film of lignocellulose nanocellulose. Background Art

[0002] Consumers always hope to improve the safety, maximize the edible quality, and extend the shelf life of food during production, transportation, and storage. Therefore, postharvest preservation is generally considered the main means to maintain the freshness of fruits and vegetables and extend their circulation cycle. Using natural polymers to make coating preservation materials for fresh-keeping packaging of fruits and vegetables can reduce the contact between fruits and vegetables and the outside world, prevent the loss of moisture in fruits and vegetables, delay the oxidation of fruits and vegetables, and inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms, which can effectively extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Natural polymer coating materials have the advantages of edibility, degradability, biocompatibility, low cost, non-toxicity, and environmental friendliness. Therefore, natural polymer coating materials have broad development prospects.

[0003] Chitosan is the second most abundant natural polymer linear polysaccharide in nature. It is obtained by deacetylating chitin with (1,4)-linked 2-amino-deoxy-β-d-glucan and is one of the most promising edible active films. Chitosan has advantages such as good biocompatibility, antibacterial property, film-forming property, safety, and non-toxicity, and has advantages over other biomolecule-based films in the preservation packaging of various foods. However, the mechanical strength of a single chitosan film is low and its water resistance is poor, and its practical application is restricted to a certain extent. Therefore, modifying the chitosan film by certain methods to improve its solubility, mechanical properties, barrier properties, etc. is the current development direction for expanding the application of chitosan preservative films in fruit and vegetable packaging.

[0004] As a new type of environmentally friendly nanomaterial, nanocellulose is prepared from natural cellulose by physical or chemical means. Peanut shells are rich in cellulose, and nanoscale cellulose can be obtained by physical or chemical means. Compared with cellulose, nanocellulose has a larger specific surface area, better dispersibility, and better control ability of physical and chemical properties. In the food field, nanocellulose can be used in food additives, food packaging, and functional foods. Lignin is a sustainable natural polymer compound and together with cellulose and hemicellulose constitutes the skeletal structure of the plant cell wall. In nature, lignin is the second most abundant biomass polymer after cellulose in terms of source. Due to its complex structure, lignin has many unique properties, such as resistance to decay and aging and microorganisms, ultraviolet absorption, high stiffness, and the ability to delay and inhibit oxidation reactions. Applying lignin nanoparticles to composite films and endowing the composite films with new functions is a research hotspot.

[0005] In addition, China is a major peanut-producing country in the world, with an annual output of tens of millions of tons, accounting for 42% of the world's total output. Every year, nearly 5 million tons of peanut shells are produced. As the residue of peanut processing, except for a small amount of peanut shells being processed into feed, adsorption materials, and extracting the contained functional substances, most of them are discarded or burned, resulting in a great waste of resources. The abundant cellulose in peanut shells is a biological resource to be developed and utilized. Developing a preparation method for peanut shell nano-lignocellulose composite membranes can not only realize the high-value utilization of crop waste resources and broaden the utilization fields of peanut shells, but also has great theoretical and practical significance for reducing the production cost of biological composite membranes and synthesizing new composite membranes in the future.

[0096] S1. Test the mechanical properties of the composite film:

[0097] Table 1 Mechanical property tests of lignin nanofiber composite films in Comparative Examples 1-3 and Examples 1-5

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] As shown in Table 1 and Figure 1As shown; compared with the chitosan / lignin-3% composite film (Comparative Example 3), the elastic modulus, elongation at break, tensile fracture stress, and tensile strength of the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-1% composite film (Example 1) increased by 2.4%, 23.1%, 145%, and 33.6% respectively. This shows that the addition of nanocellulose to the composite film can significantly improve the mechanical properties. The elastic modulus, tensile strength, and maximum force of the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-2% composite film (Example 2) were significantly improved. Compared with the chitosan film (Comparative Example 1), the elastic modulus, tensile strength, and maximum force increased by 24.67%, 20.27%, and 17.55% respectively. Compared with the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% composite film (Comparative Example 2), the tensile strength and maximum force increased by 5.33% and 35.25% respectively. This shows that the addition of lignin to the composite film can significantly improve the mechanical properties. Compared with the chitosan film (Comparative Example 1), the elastic modulus and tensile strength of the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-3% composite film (Example 3) increased by 50.7% and 44.2% respectively. This shows that the addition of nanocellulose and lignin can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the chitosan film. In addition, by comparing the ternary chitosan / nanocellulose / lignin composite films, it was found that as the lignin content increased, the elastic modulus, elongation at break, and tensile strength of the composite films all showed an upward trend. When the lignin addition amount was 3%, the mechanical properties of the composite film reached the highest. When the lignin content reached 4% (Example 4) and 5% (Example 5), the mechanical properties of the composite film gradually decreased. In the ternary composite film, nanocellulose has a certain strengthening and toughening ability, while the presence of lignin can reduce the hydrogen bonds of cellulose, enhance its dispersibility, and play a synergistic role. Lignin acts as an adhesive in the composite film to make the nanocellulose links closer, which helps stress transfer; however, lignin is not the more the better, and its dosage needs to be strictly controlled. For example, the properties of chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-4% (Example 4) and chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-5% (Example 5) decreased instead; therefore, the selection of the lignin dosage in the present invention is also creative.

[0101] S2. Test the hydrophobic properties of the composite film:

[0102] Figure 2 In Figure A, it is the test result of the water contact angle of the lignin nanocellulose composite film in Comparative Example 1 and Example 3. Among them, the water contact angle of the chitosan film (Comparative Example 1) is 108°, and the water contact angle of the composite film (Example 3) after adding 3% lignin and 3% nanocellulose is 110°, indicating that the surface hydrophobicity of the composite film after adding nanocellulose and lignin is enhanced.

[0103] Figure 2Figure B in the present invention shows the contact results of the wood-based nanocellulose composite film in Example 3 with edible oil, coffee, tea, soy sauce, vinegar, milk, Sudan red solution and methylene blue solution. The results show that the composite film of chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-3% also has certain barrier properties to solutions such as edible oil, coffee, tea, soy sauce, vinegar, milk, etc., which is beneficial to the preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables by the composite film.

[0104] S3. Ultraviolet light transmittance performance test:

[0105] The ultraviolet light transmittance performance of the composite film was tested. High transmittance is very important for the film used in fruit and vegetable packaging.

[0106] Figure 3 It is the light transmittance performance test diagram of the wood-based nanocellulose composite film in Comparative Examples 1-3 and Examples 1-5; Figure 4 It is the ultraviolet-visible transmission curve of the wood-based nanocellulose composite film in Comparative Examples 1-3 and Examples 1-5.

[0107] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, it can be seen from Figure 3 that each group of films has good light transmittance in the visible light range. By comparing the colored icons, it can be seen that the icon behind the chitosan film is clear and has the highest light transmittance. When 3% of lignin or nanocellulose is added to chitosan, the light transmittance gradually decreases and the film color deepens. The light transmittance of the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-1% composite film is lower than that of the chitosan film, chitosan / lignin-3% and chitosan / nanocellulose-3% composite films. In the ternary composite film, with the increase of the lignin addition amount, a small amount of granular substances appear in the composite film, the film thickness increases, and the light transmittance performance also shows a downward trend. When the film is placed on the icon, the icon gradually begins to blur.

[0108] From Figure 4It can be seen that the chitosan film has the highest light transmittance. After adding nanocellulose, the light transmittance of the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% composite film (Comparative Example 2) decreases, but a relatively high transmittance can still be achieved. This is because nanocellulose will agglomerate itself after being fully swollen in water, and there is a strong hydrogen bond or chemical interaction between nanocellulose and chitosan, which can crosslink to form a dense network structure. The light transmittance of the chitosan / lignin-3% composite film (Comparative Example 3) decreases compared with the chitosan film. When lignin is added to the chitosan / nanocellulose composite film, the light transmittance of the film further decreases. However, through comparison, it is found that the light transmittance of the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-4% composite film and the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-5% composite film in the wavelength range of 400-800 nm is higher than that of the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% composite film, and the chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-3% composite film is not much different from it. Lignin has conjugated carbonyl groups that can absorb ultraviolet and visible light. Therefore, the content of lignin can affect the light absorption ability of the composite film, thereby affecting the light transmittance. The chitosan / nanocellulose / lignin composite films prepared in Examples 3-5 all exhibit excellent ultraviolet protection ability. This remarkable ultraviolet barrier performance is attributed to the ultraviolet-absorbing functional groups in lignin in the composite film, including phenolic units, ketones and other chromophores, making it a natural broad-spectrum blocker.

[0109] S4. Test the degradation performance of the composite film:

[0110] Figure 6 It is the degradation result diagram of the lignin nanocellulose composite films in Comparative Examples 1-3 and Examples 1-5 after being buried in soil for 10 days. The results show that after burying chitosan and its composite films in soil for 10 days, it can be found that the chitosan film has some wrinkles and is intact overall, while chitosan / lignin-3%, chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-2%, chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-3%, chitosan / nanocellulose-3% / lignin-5% are almost completely degraded; after being buried in soil for 18 days, the chitosan / nanocellulose / lignin ternary composite films prepared in Examples 1-5 are completely degraded. This shows that the addition of nanocellulose and lignin makes the composite film more environmentally friendly. The use of the composite film can not only effectively achieve the preservation of fruits and vegetables, but also has a fast degradation rate, and is green and safe.

[0111] Application 1 (blueberries):

[0112] Taking the product prepared in Example 3 as an example, a preservation experiment was carried out; chitosan / nanocellulose-3% and uncoated blueberries were used as controls; each group had about 90 fruits, and the blueberries in each group were stored at 4°C, and 3 fruits were taken out every 48 h for index determination.

[0113] Experimental group (chitosan / nanocellulose - 3% / lignin - 3%): Select fresh blueberries with uniform size, similar maturity, no pests, diseases and mechanical damage, wash them with deionized water, and place them in a fume hood to dry at room temperature. Immerse the blueberries in the film-forming solution in Example 3 (where the mass percentage of the lignin solution is 3%, the mass percentage of the nanocellulose solution is 3%, and the mass percentage of the chitosan solution is 94%) for 30 s for film coating, and then place them in a fume hood to dry at room temperature after film coating.

[0114] Control group 1 (uncoated): Select fresh blueberries with uniform size, similar maturity, no pests, diseases and mechanical damage, wash them with deionized water, and place them in a fume hood to dry at room temperature.

[0115] Control group 2 (chitosan / nanocellulose - 3%): The operation is the same as that of the experimental group, the difference is that the film-forming solution is replaced with the film-forming solution in Comparative Example 2 (the mass percentage of the nanocellulose solution is 3%, and the mass percentage of the chitosan solution is 97%).

[0116] Changes in the appearance of blueberries during the preservation process with the composite film coating are as Figure 5 shown. It can be seen from Figure 5 that at the initial stage of storage (1 - 8 d), both the coated and uncoated blueberries showed good gloss. As the storage time prolonged, the color of the blueberries gradually darkened. After 16 days of storage, wrinkles appeared on the surface of the uncoated blueberries, and the hardness gradually decreased, while no wrinkles appeared on the surface of the coated blueberries, and the hardness was higher than that of the uncoated group. After 24 days of storage, the blueberries coated with the chitosan / nanocellulose - 3% composite film showed shriveling, while the blueberries coated with the chitosan / nanocellulose - 3% / lignin - 3% composite film still maintained a good appearance. This indicates that the chitosan / nanocellulose - 3% / lignin - 3% composite coating can better delay the ripening, senescence and water loss of fruits, and maintain the gloss and freshness of fruits. Compared with the chitosan / nanocellulose - 3% coating, the chitosan / nanocellulose - 3% / lignin - 3% coating has higher stability.

[0117] Application 2 (red globe grapes):

[0118] Taking the product prepared in Example 3 as an example, a preservation experiment was carried out; red globe grapes with chitosan / nanocellulose - 3% and uncoated ones were used as controls; there were about 90 fruits in each group, and the blueberries in each group were stored at 4 °C, and 3 fruits were taken out every 48 h for index determination.

[0119] Experimental group (chitosan / nanocellulose - 3% / lignin - 3%): Select fresh red grapes with uniform size, similar maturity, no pests, diseases and mechanical damage, wash them with deionized water, and air-dry them at room temperature in a fume hood. Immerse the red grapes in the film-forming solution in Example 3 (where the mass percentage of the lignin solution is 3%, the mass percentage of the nanocellulose solution is 3%, and the mass percentage of the chitosan solution is 94%) for 30 s for film coating, and then air-dry them at room temperature in a fume hood after film coating.

[0120] Control group 1 (uncoated): Select fresh red grapes with uniform size, similar maturity, no pests, diseases and mechanical damage, wash them with deionized water, and air-dry them at room temperature in a fume hood.

[0121] Control group 2 (chitosan / nanocellulose - 3%): The operation is the same as that of the experimental group, the difference is that the film-forming solution is replaced with the film-forming solution in Comparative Example 2 (the mass percentage of the nanocellulose solution is 3%, and the mass percentage of the chitosan solution is 97%).

[0122] The changes in the appearance of red grapes during the preservation process with the composite film coating are as Figure 7 shown. Appearance is the most intuitive and convenient way to judge the freshness of fruits and whether they are spoiled. During the process of fruit ripening and senescence, the color of the appearance will also change. As Figure 7 shown, at the initial stage of storage (1 - 8 d), both the coated and uncoated red grapes showed good gloss and bright and vivid colors. As the storage time extended to 15 days, wrinkles and black spots began to appear on the surface of the uncoated red grapes, while the red grapes in the nanocellulose / chitosan / lignin coating group did not show the above situation until the end of storage. It is speculated that chitosan and lignin have certain antibacterial effects, and the coating made of them has the ability to resist the invasion of external pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, the nanocellulose / chitosan / lignin coating can significantly reduce the respiration rate of red grapes, reduce water evaporation, and extend the storage period of red grapes.

[0123] Combined with the application cases, at the initial stage of storage (1 - 12 d), compared with the uncoated group, the blueberries and red grapes in the chitosan / nanocellulose coating group were smoother and plumper on the outside. In the later stage of storage (13 - 24 d), wrinkles began to appear on the surface of blueberries and red grapes, but the overall hardness was higher than that of the uncoated group. The above research phenomena indicate that the good modified atmosphere ability of the chitosan / nanocellulose coating can better delay the ripening and senescence of fruits and water loss, thereby maintaining the gloss and freshness of fruits and improving the storage capacity of fresh fruits and vegetables.
