Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of composite films, and in particular to a method for preparing an antibacterial, edible and degradable composite film. Background Art
[0002] my country produces a large amount of straw waste every year. Straw contains a large amount of cellulose, which can be made into cellulose ether derivatives, namely carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), by replacing hydroxyl groups with carboxymethyl. This substance has the characteristics of strong film-forming ability and easy degradation, but does not have antibacterial properties. Polymalic acid (PMA) is an ester compound formed by the polymerization of malic acid, which has antibacterial, safe, non-toxic and degradable properties. In order to give CMC antibacterial properties, the present invention prepares a wheat straw-based carboxymethyl cellulose-glycerol-polymalic acid antibacterial, edible and degradable composite film.
[0003] As a major consumer of fruits and vegetables, my country suffers huge economic losses every year due to the problem of fruit and vegetable rot. Mechanical damage and microbial infection during transportation are the main reasons for the shortened shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Grapes, as a nutritious fruit containing bioactive compounds, are very susceptible to pathogen infection and mechanical damage and deterioration. At present, the methods used for grape preservation mainly include refrigeration preservation, atmosphere conditioning preservation, and preservation using plastic films. The above preservation methods have the disadvantages of high cost, high facility requirements, poor environmental protection and low safety, which not only bring potential harm to humans, but also cause great environmental pollution. Using composite films to coat grapes can not only reduce the consumption of grape fruit nutrients, effectively extend the shelf life of grapes, but also realize the high-value utilization of wheat straw and reduce environmental pollution. That is, the composite film prepared by the present invention has the characteristics of antibacterial, edible, and degradable, and has a good preservation effect on fruits and vegetables.
