Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fruit and vegetable preservation, and relates to a slow-release antibacterial fruit and vegetable preservation film, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for fresh fruits and vegetables is growing, requiring not only a rich variety but also strict requirements for their quality and freshness. After being picked, fruits and vegetables are still living organisms, and they will continue to carry out physiological activities such as respiration and transpiration. At the same time, they are also exposed to the invasion of microorganisms. These factors will lead to the decline of the quality of fruits and vegetables, the loss of nutrients, and even rot and deterioration, causing huge economic losses.
[0003] Traditional methods of preserving fruits and vegetables include low-temperature refrigeration, controlled atmosphere preservation, and chemical preservative treatment. Low-temperature refrigeration can reduce the respiration intensity and enzyme activity of fruits and vegetables and slow down their metabolic rate, but it consumes a lot of energy, and for some fruits and vegetables that are sensitive to low temperatures, chilling damage is prone to occur, affecting quality. Controlled atmosphere preservation inhibits the respiration and microbial growth of fruits and vegetables by adjusting the gas composition in the storage environment (such as reducing the oxygen content and increasing the carbon dioxide content), but the equipment cost is high and the operation is complicated, making it difficult to popularize in ordinary households and small commercial places. Although chemical preservative treatment has the advantages of good preservation effect and low cost, some chemical preservatives may have residue problems, causing potential harm to human health and the environment. With the increasing awareness of food safety and environmental protection, the use of chemical preservatives has been increasingly restricted.
[0004] In this context, fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film has emerged as a new type of fresh-keeping technology. Fresh-keeping film can form a physical barrier on the surface of fruits and vegetables, reduce water evaporation, and reduce the exchange rate of oxygen and carbon dioxide, thereby delaying the aging and deterioration of fruits and vegetables. At present, common fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping films mainly include plastic films such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Although these films have certain barrier properties, most of them are non-degradable polymer materials. Large-scale use will cause serious "white pollution" and does not meet the requirements of sustainable development.
[0005] In order to solve the environmental problems of traditional cling film, degradable bio-based cling film has gradually become a research hotspot. Bio-based cling film is usually made of natural biomaterials such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, etc., with good biocompatibility and degradability, and is environmentally friendly. However, cling film made of a single bio-based material often has disadvantages such as poor mechanical properties and unsatisfactory barrier properties, which limits its practical application. In order to improve the performance of bio-based cling film, a composite modification method is usually adopted to compound different biomaterials, or add additives such as nanoparticles and plasticizers.
[0006] In addition, in order to give the fresh-keeping film an antibacterial function and inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms on the surface of fruits and vegetables, antibacterial agents are usually added to the film. Commonly used antibacterial agents include natural antibacterial agents (such as plant essential oils, chitosan, etc.) and chemical antibacterial agents (such as benzoic acid, potassium sorbate, etc.). However, the traditional method of adding antibacterial agents has problems such as too fast release speed and short duration of antibacterial agents, making it difficult to achieve long-term antibacterial effect. Therefore, the development of fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping films with slow-release antibacterial functions, so that antibacterial agents can be released slowly and continuously to extend the shelf life, is one of the current research focuses in the field of fruit and vegetable preservation. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a sustained-release antibacterial fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film, a preparation method and use thereof. The fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film prepared by the present invention has excellent antibacterial properties and mechanical properties. Using it for fruit and vegetable packaging can significantly extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables and reduce food waste and loss.
[0008] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a sustained-release antibacterial fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film, the preparation method comprising:
[0010] (I) adding gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to deionized water, mixing, stirring and heating to obtain a wall material solution, adding curcumin to the wall material solution to obtain a prepolymer solution; subjecting the prepolymer solution to high-speed stirring and emulsification, then dropping an acetic acid solution into the prepolymer solution under stirring and water bath heating conditions to adjust the pH value thereof, and cooling in an ice water bath to obtain a prepolymer suspension;
[0011] (II) dispersing carboxymethyl chitosan in an acetic acid solution to obtain a chitosan solution, adding the chitosan solution to the prepolymer suspension, mixing uniformly to obtain a microcapsule solution, adding an alkali solution to the microcapsule solution to adjust the pH value thereof, then adding tannic acid to the microcapsule solution, mixing uniformly to obtain a microcapsule suspension, and spray drying the microcapsule suspension to obtain a double-layer microcapsule powder;
[0012] (III) Polylactic acid, the double-layer microcapsule powder obtained in step (II), a plasticizer, a lubricant and an antioxidant are uniformly mixed to obtain a mixed material, and the mixed material is sequentially melt-extruded, cooled, pelletized and film-blown to obtain the sustained-release antibacterial fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film.
[0013] The present invention firstly uses curcumin as a core material, gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as wall materials to prepare a single-layer microcapsule with a core-shell structure, then uses carboxymethyl chitosan to perform secondary coating reinforcement on the single-layer microcapsule, and uses electrostatic action and intermolecular force to form a carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer on the surface of the single-layer microcapsule, which can increase the film thickness of the curcumin surface to better resist external adverse factors, reduce the environmental sensitivity of the double-layer microcapsule, and improve its thermal stability. The present invention adds double-layer microcapsule powder to a polylactic acid matrix, obtains a fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film after melt extrusion, cooling, pelletizing and film blowing, and significantly improves the antibacterial and mechanical properties of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film.
[0014] Gelatin is a protein obtained by hydrolyzing collagen in connective tissues such as animal skin and bones. It has good film-forming properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility. The isoelectric point of gelatin is around pH = 5, which means that when the pH value is lower than 5, gelatin is positively charged; when the pH value is higher than 5, gelatin is negatively charged. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is a water-soluble anionic polysaccharide obtained by chemical modification of cellulose. It contains negatively charged carboxyl functional groups, so it always carries a negative charge in aqueous solution. The present invention adjusts the pH value of the reaction system to below 5 so that gelatin is positively charged, and utilizes the positively charged gelatin and the negatively charged sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to neutralize charges under a specific pH value environment, so that the solubility is reduced and phase separation is formed, which promotes them to aggregate and deposit around curcumin to form a complex coacervate coated around the curcumin, and finally obtains a single-layer microcapsule with a stable core-shell structure, wherein curcumin as a core material is wrapped inside the complex coacervate formed by gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and the complex coacervate as an outer shell has a certain thickness and mechanical strength, and can protect the curcumin from the influence of the external environment.
[0015] In order to further improve the environmental stability, thermal stability and sustained release effect of the microcapsules, the present invention further coats the surface of the single-layer microcapsules with a carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer, which has the following functions:
[0016] On the one hand, the carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer significantly improves the environmental stability of the double-layer microcapsules and reduces the volatilization and degradation of curcumin during storage and transportation. This is because, as a chitosan derivative, the charge properties of carboxymethyl chitosan depend on its chemical structure and environmental pH. The carboxymethyl chitosan molecule contains negatively charged carboxyl groups (-COOH) and positively charged amine groups (-NH 2). Under acidic conditions, the amine groups of carboxymethyl chitosan will be protonated and positively charged; under alkaline conditions, the carboxyl groups will be ionized and negatively charged. Therefore, carboxymethyl chitosan can present different charge states in the solution, depending on the pH value of the solution. The present invention adjusts the pH value of the reaction system to weak acidity (pH value is 5-6) so that the carboxymethyl chitosan is positively charged, and the positively charged carboxymethyl chitosan and the negatively charged complex coacervate are tightly combined through electrostatic interaction to form a stable double-layer shell structure. This electrostatic combination not only enhances the density of the wall material, but also effectively isolates the adverse effects of the external environment on curcumin, such as pH changes, ionic strength fluctuations and temperature changes, thereby significantly improving the environmental stability of the double-layer microcapsules.
[0017] On the other hand, the carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer significantly improves the thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsules. This is because the carboxymethyl chitosan has a high melting point and is not easy to decompose at high temperatures. In the double-layer microcapsules, the introduction of the carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer effectively improves the overall thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsules. When the double-layer microcapsules are in a high-temperature environment, the carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer can be tightly wrapped on the surface of the complex coacervate layer to prevent the rapid release of curcumin due to heat during the subsequent melt extrusion process. At the same time, the thermal shrinkage of the carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer enables it to form a denser barrier in the high-temperature environment of melt extrusion, further enhancing the thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsules.
[0018] On the other hand, the presence of the carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer significantly slows down the release rate of curcumin, achieving stable delivery and sustained release of curcumin. This is because the carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer has a certain permeability and can control the speed at which curcumin molecules pass through, thereby achieving a sustained release effect. By adjusting the thickness and molecular structure of the carboxymethyl chitosan protective layer, precise control of the release rate of curcumin can be achieved.
[0019] The invention adds double-layer microcapsule powder to the polymer matrix, which can not only give the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film excellent sustained-release antibacterial ability, but also improve the mechanical properties of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film. Its functions are:
[0020] On the one hand, the double-layer microcapsule powder is evenly dispersed in the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film system, building a solid support network at the microscopic level. In terms of size, the particle size of the double-layer microcapsule powder matches the microstructural scale of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film, and can effectively fill the molecular gaps of the polylactic acid matrix. When the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film is subjected to tensile external force, these double-layer microcapsule powders are like tiny "rivets", limiting the relative sliding of the molecular chains of the polylactic acid matrix, thereby dispersing the external force to the entire system. In pure polylactic acid film without the addition of double-layer microcapsule powder, the interaction between the molecular chains is relatively weak, and the molecular chains are prone to slip when stretched, resulting in rapid breakage of the film. After adding the double-layer microcapsule powder, the double-layer microcapsule powder forms a close bond with the polylactic acid matrix, and the rigid shell of the carboxymethyl chitosan of the double-layer microcapsule powder can withstand part of the tensile stress, avoiding stress concentration on a few molecular chains, thereby improving the tensile strength of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film. At the same time, the presence of the double-layer microcapsule powder also provides a certain space for the slip of the molecular chain, so that the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film can undergo a certain degree of deformation during the stretching process, thereby increasing the elongation at break of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film.
[0021] On the other hand, there are abundant interfacial interactions between the wall material components of the double-layer microcapsule powder, such as gelatin and carboxymethyl chitosan, and the polylactic acid matrix. The polar functional groups such as hydroxyl and amino groups in the gelatin molecules can form hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl groups on the polylactic acid molecular chain. This hydrogen bonding not only enhances the binding force between the double-layer microcapsule powder and the polylactic acid matrix, but also enables the double-layer microcapsule powder to better transfer stress. When the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film is stretched, the stress can be transferred from the polylactic acid matrix to the double-layer microcapsule powder through hydrogen bonds, so that the entire system can synergistically resist external forces. At the same time, the van der Waals force at the interface also plays an important role, further enhancing the adhesion between the double-layer microcapsule powder and the polylactic acid matrix, and preventing the double-layer microcapsule powder from debonding from the polylactic acid matrix. This strong interfacial interaction enables the double-layer microcapsule powder and the polylactic acid matrix to deform together during the stretching process of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film, avoiding damage at the interface, thereby effectively improving the tensile strength and elongation at break of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film.
[0022] On the other hand, the addition of double-layer microcapsule powder has a positive regulatory effect on the movement of polylactic acid molecular chains. The presence of double-layer microcapsule powder limits the free movement range of polylactic acid molecular chains, making the polylactic acid molecular chains more orderly arranged during the stretching process. This orderly arrangement increases the interaction between polylactic acid molecular chains and improves the tensile strength of fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film. At the same time, the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the double-layer microcapsule powder can reduce the glass transition temperature between polylactic acid molecular chains to a certain extent, so that the polylactic acid molecular chains can move under a lower external force. When the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film is stretched, the polylactic acid molecular chains can stretch and orient more freely, thereby increasing the elongation at break of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film. This dual regulatory effect on the movement of polylactic acid molecular chains has significantly improved the tensile strength and elongation at break of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film.
[0023] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step (I), the concentration of gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the wall material solution is 15-20 g / L, for example, it can be 15 g / L, 15.5 g / L, 16 g / L, 16.5 g / L, 17 g / L, 17.5 g / L, 18 g / L, 18.5 g / L, 19 g / L, 19.5 g / L or 20 g / L, but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0024] In some optional examples, the mass ratio of gelatin to sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is (6-7):1, for example, it can be 6.0:1, 6.1:1, 6.2:1, 6.3:1, 6.4:1, 6.5:1, 6.6:1, 6.7:1, 6.8:1, 6.9:1 or 7.0:1, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0025] In the process of preparing single-layer microcapsules, the mass ratio of gelatin to sodium carboxymethyl cellulose has a crucial influence on the thermal stability of single-layer microcapsules, the sustained release effect of curcumin, and the embedding rate. The collagen chains in gelatin hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl and carboxymethyl groups in sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, which enhances the cohesion of the capsule wall material and forms a tight and uniform capsule wall structure. This tight capsule wall structure can effectively prevent the rapid transfer of heat, so that the microcapsules can maintain structural integrity when heated, thereby delaying the decomposition or leakage of internal curcumin.
[0026] The present invention further defines the mass ratio of gelatin to sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as (6-7):1. When the mass ratio of gelatin to sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is controlled within this mass range, the two can work synergistically to form a capsule wall structure with ideal sustained-release performance. The water-swelling property of gelatin enables the capsule wall to gradually soften and swell in water, forming a dense gel layer, thereby slowing down the release rate of curcumin. The viscosity of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can increase the viscosity inside the capsule wall, further extending the release time. This synergistic effect enables the microcapsule to maintain a stable release rate for a long time, meeting the sustained-release requirement for curcumin.
[0027] When the amount of gelatin used exceeds the upper limit of the range defined in the present invention, the proportion of gelatin in the capsule wall increases, which will cause the capsule wall material to become too soft and easy to deform, reducing the thermal stability of the microcapsule. Under heating conditions, the capsule wall is more likely to change shape or even rupture, causing the curcumin wrapped inside to leak. In addition, when the amount of gelatin used is too high, the swelling property of the capsule wall is too strong, causing a large amount of curcumin to be released in a short period of time, thereby losing the sustained-release effect; at the same time, too much gelatin will also increase the permeability of the capsule wall, making it easier for water to enter the capsule, accelerating the dissolution and release of curcumin. In addition, when the amount of gelatin used is too high, the capsule wall material will become too viscous and difficult to disperse, making it difficult for curcumin to be evenly wrapped inside the capsule wall, thereby reducing the embedding rate of curcumin.
[0028] On the contrary, when the amount of gelatin is lower than the lower limit of the range defined in the present invention, the proportion of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the capsule wall is relatively too high. Although the rigidity and stability of the capsule wall can be improved, the capsule wall material will become too hard and brittle, and it is easy to be mechanically damaged during processing or storage, which not only affects the thermal stability of the microcapsules, but also causes curcumin to leak from the capsule wall, thereby reducing the embedding rate of curcumin. In addition, when the amount of gelatin is too low, the swelling performance of the capsule wall is insufficient, and an effective gel layer cannot be formed to control the release rate of curcumin, resulting in curcumin being released into the external environment at a faster rate, and the ideal sustained release effect cannot be achieved.
[0029] In some optional examples, the mixing and stirring time is 1 to 2 hours, for example, it can be 1.0h, 1.1h, 1.2h, 1.3h, 1.4h, 1.5h, 1.6h, 1.7h, 1.8h, 1.9h or 2.0h, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0030] In some optional embodiments, the heating temperature during mixing and stirring is 40-50°C, for example, it can be 40°C, 41°C, 42°C, 43°C, 44°C, 45°C, 46°C, 47°C, 48°C, 49°C or 50°C, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0031] In some optional examples, the ratio of the total mass of gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the wall material solution to the mass of the curcumin is (4-5):1, for example, 4.0:1, 4.1:1, 4.2:1, 4.3:1, 4.4:1, 4.5:1, 4.6:1, 4.7:1, 4.8:1, 4.9:1 or 5.0:1, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0032] In some optional examples, the stirring speed of the high-speed stirring emulsification of the prepolymer solution is 8000~10000rpm, for example, it can be 8000rpm, 8200rpm, 8400rpm, 8600rpm, 8800rpm, 9000rpm, 9200rpm, 9400rpm, 9600rpm, 9800rpm or 10000rpm, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0033] In some optional examples, the high-speed stirring emulsification time of the prepolymer solution is 3 to 5 minutes, for example, it can be 3.0 minutes, 3.2 minutes, 3.4 minutes, 3.6 minutes, 3.8 minutes, 4.0 minutes, 4.2 minutes, 4.4 minutes, 4.6 minutes, 4.8 minutes or 5.0 minutes, but it is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0034] In some optional embodiments, the stirring speed during the process of dripping the acetic acid solution is 300~400rpm, for example, it can be 300rpm, 310rpm, 320rpm, 330rpm, 340rpm, 350rpm, 360rpm, 370rpm, 380rpm, 390rpm or 400rpm, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0035] In some optional embodiments, the temperature of the water bath heating during the process of dripping the acetic acid solution is 40-50°C, for example, it can be 40°C, 41°C, 42°C, 43°C, 44°C, 45°C, 46°C, 47°C, 48°C, 49°C or 50°C, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0036] In some optional examples, the acetic acid solution is added dropwise to the prepolymer solution to adjust its pH value to 4-5, for example, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 or 5.0, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0037] The present invention specifically limits the addition of acetic acid solution to the prepolymer solution to adjust its pH value to 4-5. As the pH value of the prepolymer solution decreases, the electrostatic repulsion between gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose decreases, and the particle size of the formed single-layer microcapsules gradually increases. When the pH value of the prepolymer solution drops below 4, the particle size of the microcapsules is too large and can no longer maintain a good spherical dispersion state, and they begin to adhere to each other. However, when the pH value of the prepolymer solution exceeds 5, although microcapsules with a good spherical dispersion state can be obtained, the particle size of the obtained microcapsules is too small, resulting in too low an embedding amount of curcumin, which affects the sustained-release antibacterial effect of curcumin. Therefore, in order to take into account both the spherical dispersion state and the large particle size of the microcapsules, the present invention specifically limits the pH value of the prepolymer solution to 4-5.
[0038] In some optional embodiments, the temperature of the ice water bath is 5-15°C, for example, it can be 5°C, 6°C, 7°C, 8°C, 9°C, 10°C, 11°C, 12°C, 13°C, 14°C or 15°C, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0039] In some optional examples, the cooling in the ice water bath is 1 to 2 hours, for example, 1.0 h, 1.1 h, 1.2 h, 1.3 h, 1.4 h, 1.5 h, 1.6 h, 1.7 h, 1.8 h, 1.9 h or 2.0 h, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0040] In some optional examples, the mixing and stirring is continued for 20 to 30 minutes after cooling to obtain the prepolymer suspension, for example, it can be 20 minutes, 21 minutes, 22 minutes, 23 minutes, 24 minutes, 25 minutes, 26 minutes, 27 minutes, 28 minutes, 29 minutes or 30 minutes, but it is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0041] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step (II), the carboxymethyl chitosan is prepared by the following method:
[0042] Chitosan powder is mixed with sodium hydroxide and then ball-milled once to obtain a mixture, sodium chloroacetate and sodium iodide are added to the mixture, and then ball-milled twice to obtain a solid product, the solid product is uniformly mixed with deionized water to obtain a product solution, and a hydrochloric acid solution is added to the product solution to adjust the pH value of the product solution to 7; then, the product solution is filtered, washed and dried to obtain the carboxymethyl chitosan.
[0043] Chitosan is mainly composed of random copolymerization of N-acetylglucosamine and glucosamine units. The particularity of this structure gives chitosan a series of significant functional properties, such as excellent biocompatibility, non-toxicity, good biodegradability and antibacterial activity, but unmodified chitosan is only water-soluble and antibacterial under acidic conditions, which limits its scope of application. The present invention uses sodium chloroacetate to carboxymethylate chitosan, aiming to introduce hydrophilic carboxymethyl functional groups, thereby improving the water solubility and reactivity of chitosan. Compared with chitosan, carboxymethyl chitosan not only retains the original biocompatibility and degradability of chitosan, but also gives it certain antibacterial and reactivity.
[0044] The present invention uses sodium chloroacetate as a carboxymethyl modification agent and sodium iodide as a catalyst, and adopts a mechanochemical method to induce a chemical reaction, thereby introducing a carboxymethyl functional group on the chitosan molecular chain, and the introduction of the carboxymethyl functional group greatly improves the solubility of chitosan. The present invention adopts mechanical ball milling to promote the alkalization reaction and the carboxymethylation reaction. During the ball milling process, the ball milling medium and the reaction material are subjected to the combined force of rotation and revolution in the ball mill, so that the centrifugal acceleration of the ball milling medium can reach 10-20g; at the same time, the pressure between the ball milling medium and the ball mill can reach 5-6 times of the weight of the ball milling medium itself. When the chitosan molecule is subjected to a strong mechanical force of the ball milling medium, the impact force and shear force of the chitosan particles will destroy the crystal structure in the molecule. During the ball milling alkalization process, sodium hydroxide can better enter the interior of the chitosan molecule, thereby achieving the effect of alkalization expansion. At the same time, during the carboxymethylation reaction, as the hydrogen bonds within and between chitosan molecules are broken by external mechanical force, the hydroxyl and amino groups within the chitosan molecules are exposed to the outside, thereby providing an attack target for the carboxymethyl groups in the system and promoting the occurrence of the carboxymethylation reaction.
[0045] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the mass ratio of the chitosan powder to sodium hydroxide is 1:(3.5-4.5), for example, it can be 1:3.5, 1:3.6, 1:3.7, 1:3.8, 1:3.9, 1:4.0, 1:4.1, 1:4.2, 1:4.3, 1:4.4 or 1:4.5, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0046] In some optional examples, the rotation speed of the primary ball milling is 500~600rpm, for example, it can be 500rpm, 510rpm, 520rpm, 530rpm, 540rpm, 550rpm, 560rpm, 570rpm, 580rpm, 590rpm or 600rpm, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0047] In some optional examples, the time for the first ball milling is 4 to 5 hours, for example, it can be 4.0 hours, 4.1 hours, 4.2 hours, 4.3 hours, 4.4 hours, 4.5 hours, 4.6 hours, 4.7 hours, 4.8 hours, 4.9 hours or 5.0 hours, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0048] In some optional examples, the mass ratio of the chitosan powder to sodium chloroacetate is 1:(3~4), for example, it can be 1:3.0, 1:3.1, 1:3.2, 1:3.3, 1:3.4, 1:3.5, 1:3.6, 1:3.7, 1:3.8, 1:3.9 or 1:4.0, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0049] The reaction of sodium chloroacetate and chitosan mainly occurs on the amino group on the chitosan molecular chain. Under alkaline conditions, sodium chloroacetate ionizes chloroacetate ions, which have nucleophilicity and can attack the amino group on the chitosan molecular chain to form the carbon anion of the intermediate. Subsequently, the intermediate undergoes intramolecular or intermolecular rearrangement to generate carboxymethyl chitosan and release chloride ions. Chitosan itself is a polymer material with poor hydrophilicity. Through carboxymethylation modification, hydrophilic carboxymethyl functional groups can be introduced to improve its hydrophilicity. The amount of sodium chloroacetate has a significant effect on the hydrophilicity of carboxymethyl chitosan. The present invention particularly limits the mass ratio of chitosan powder and sodium chloroacetate to 1: (3-4). When the amount of sodium chloroacetate is within the numerical range defined by the present invention, the carboxymethylation reaction of chitosan is carried out more completely, and the number of carboxymethyl functional groups introduced into the chitosan molecule is moderate, so that the carboxymethyl chitosan not only maintains the original excellent properties of chitosan, but also has good hydrophilicity. When the amount of sodium chloroacetate is lower than the lower limit of the range defined in the present invention, the carboxymethylation reaction is not completely carried out, and the number of carboxymethyl functional groups introduced into the chitosan molecules is insufficient, so that the hydrophilicity of the carboxymethyl chitosan is limited, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of the hydrophilicity of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film. When the amount of sodium chloroacetate exceeds the upper limit of the range defined in the present invention, it will cause excessive carboxymethylation reaction, and too many carboxymethyl functional groups will be introduced into the chitosan molecules, which will not only destroy the original molecular structure of chitosan and reduce its mechanical strength, but also make the hydrophilicity of the carboxymethyl chitosan too strong, causing the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film to easily absorb water and deform during use, affecting the fresh-keeping effect.
[0050] In some optional examples, the mass ratio of sodium chloroacetate to sodium iodide is 1:(0.5~0.7), for example, it can be 1:0.5, 1:0.52, 1:0.54, 1:0.56, 1:0.58, 1:0.6, 1:0.62, 1:0.64, 1:0.66, 1:0.68 or 1:0.7, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0051] In some optional examples, the rotation speed of the secondary ball milling is 500~600rpm, for example, it can be 500rpm, 510rpm, 520rpm, 530rpm, 540rpm, 550rpm, 560rpm, 570rpm, 580rpm, 590rpm or 600rpm, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0052] The invention particularly limits the rotation speed of the secondary ball milling to 500-600 rpm, and as the rotation speed of the ball milling increases, the substitution degree of the carboxymethyl functional group of the product shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. When the rotation speed of the ball mill is within the range of 500-600 rpm, accelerating the rotation speed of the ball milling can increase the collision probability and the number of collisions of the chitosan powder, sodium hydroxide, sodium chloroacetate and sodium iodide, and when the mechanical force is large enough, the stress generated instantly by the chitosan powder far exceeds its mechanical strength, and then the powder particles are broken, the specific surface area is increased, the contact of the chitosan powder with the sodium hydroxide, sodium chloroacetate and sodium iodide is promoted, and the reaction rate of the carboxymethyl reaction is increased, so the substitution degree of the carboxymethyl functional group of the product is gradually increased. When the ball mill speed exceeds 600rpm, the excessively fast speed causes the contact time between the reaction materials and the ball milling medium to be too short. At the same time, the particle size of the chitosan powder cannot be further reduced after reaching the limit, and the tiny particles will agglomerate into secondary particles under the action of surface energy, van der Waals force and electrostatic force. When the ball mill speed exceeds 600rpm, the agglomeration rate of the tiny particles will exceed the generation rate of the tiny particles. At this time, a large number of secondary particles will be generated in the reaction system, resulting in a sharp decrease in the specific surface area of the material and a rapid decrease in the reaction rate, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the degree of substitution of the carboxymethyl functional group of the product.
[0053] In some optional embodiments, the secondary ball milling time is 5 to 6 hours, for example, it can be 5.0h, 5.1h, 5.2h, 5.3h, 5.4h, 5.5h, 5.6h, 5.7h, 5.8h, 5.9h or 6.0h, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0054] In some optional instances, the mass fraction of the hydrochloric acid solution is 8~10wt%, for example, it can be 8.0wt%, 8.2wt%, 8.4wt%, 8.6wt%, 8.8wt%, 9.0wt%, 9.2wt%, 9.4wt%, 9.6wt%, 9.8wt% or 10.0wt%, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0055] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step (II), the mass fraction of the carboxymethyl chitosan in the chitosan solution is 1-2wt%, for example, it can be 1.0wt%, 1.1wt%, 1.2wt%, 1.3wt%, 1.4wt%, 1.5wt%, 1.6wt%, 1.7wt%, 1.8wt%, 1.9wt% or 2.0wt%, but it is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0056] In some optional instances, the mass of the carboxymethyl chitosan is 25-30wt% of the total mass of the gelatin and the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, for example, it can be 25wt%, 25.5wt%, 26wt%, 26.5wt%, 27wt%, 27.5wt%, 28wt%, 28.5wt%, 29wt%, 29.5wt% or 30wt%, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0057] In the process of preparing double-layer microcapsule powder, carboxymethyl chitosan is introduced to strengthen the single-layer microcapsules in the prepolymer suspension, which not only optimizes the structural stability of the double-layer microcapsules, but also significantly improves its protection and sustained-release ability for curcumin. Among them, the amount of carboxymethyl chitosan has an important influence on the thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsule powder and the sustained-release effect of curcumin. The present invention can optimize the structural stability and sustained-release performance of the double-layer microcapsules by accurately controlling the amount of carboxymethyl chitosan, providing strong support for the protection and utilization of curcumin.
[0058] The present invention specifically limits the mass of carboxymethyl chitosan to 25-30wt% of the total mass of gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. When the amount of carboxymethyl chitosan is controlled within this numerical range, the functional groups such as hydroxyl, amino and carboxymethyl on its molecular chain can form a good hydrogen bond network with gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose molecules, thereby enhancing the intermolecular force of the capsule wall material. This enhancement effect not only improves the mechanical strength of the capsule wall, but also significantly improves the thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsule powder. During the melt extrusion process, the dense capsule wall structure can effectively block the rapid transfer of heat, slow down the thermal decomposition rate of the curcumin wrapped in the capsule, thereby extending the thermal stability time of the double-layer microcapsule. In addition, an appropriate amount of carboxymethyl chitosan can not only strengthen the capsule wall structure, but also adjust the release rate of curcumin through its unique gel properties. There is an interaction force between the functional groups on the carboxymethyl chitosan molecular chain and the curcumin molecules, and this interaction can slow down the speed of curcumin diffusion from the capsule to the outside, thereby achieving a sustained release effect.
[0059] When the dosage of carboxymethyl chitosan is lower than 25wt%, the cross-linking density of the capsule wall material is insufficient, and the capsule wall structure is relatively loose. This loose structure is prone to deformation and rupture during melt extrusion, causing the curcumin wrapped in the capsule to be exposed to the high temperature environment in advance, accelerating the thermal decomposition process. Therefore, too low a dosage of carboxymethyl chitosan will significantly reduce the thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsules. In addition, when the dosage of carboxymethyl chitosan is too low, the gel structure inside the capsule wall is not dense enough to effectively block the rapid diffusion of curcumin molecules. Curcumin will be released in large quantities in a short period of time, resulting in poor sustained release effect; at the same time, the loose capsule wall structure will also make it easier for harmful substances such as moisture and oxygen in the external environment to penetrate into the capsule, accelerating the degradation of curcumin.
[0060] On the contrary, when the amount of carboxymethyl chitosan exceeds 30wt%, although the cross-linking density of the capsule wall material is further increased, the excessive cross-linking degree will cause the capsule wall to become too rigid and brittle. This change not only reduces the flexibility of the capsule wall, but also increases the risk of cracking of the capsule wall when heated. In addition, excessive carboxymethyl chitosan may block the microporous structure inside the capsule wall, affecting the uniform distribution and loss of heat, and reducing the overall thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsules. In addition, when the amount of carboxymethyl chitosan is too high, the capsule wall structure becomes too dense, making it difficult for curcumin molecules to diffuse outward through the capsule wall. This slow release rate cannot meet the demand for rapid release of curcumin in practical applications. At the same time, excessive carboxymethyl chitosan may also cause an imbalance in the osmotic pressure inside and outside the capsule wall, causing the capsule wall to swell or even rupture, affecting the stable release of curcumin.
[0061] In some optional examples, the mixing time of the prepolymer suspension and the chitosan solution is 30 to 40 min, for example, 30 min, 31 min, 32 min, 33 min, 34 min, 35 min, 36 min, 37 min, 38 min, 39 min or 40 min, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0062] In some optional examples, the mass fraction of the alkali solution is 10~20wt%, for example, it can be 10wt%, 11wt%, 12wt%, 13wt%, 14wt%, 15wt%, 16wt%, 17wt%, 18wt%, 19wt% or 20wt%, but it is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0063] In some optional embodiments, alkaline solution is added to the microcapsule solution to adjust its pH value to 5-6, for example, it can be 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 or 6.0, but it is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0064] In some optional instances, the mass of the tannic acid is 35-40wt% of the total mass of gelatin, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl chitosan, for example, it can be 35wt%, 35.5wt%, 36wt%, 36.5wt%, 37wt%, 37.5wt%, 38wt%, 38.5wt%, 39wt%, 39.5wt% or 40wt%, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0065] Tannic acid is a polyphenolic compound with multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups in its molecular structure. These phenolic hydroxyl groups can form hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds with amino and carboxyl functional groups in carboxymethyl chitosan molecules, thereby achieving cross-linking and curing. Through the cross-linking and curing of tannic acid, a tighter network structure is formed between carboxymethyl chitosan molecules, which not only enhances the mechanical strength of the capsule wall, but also improves its thermal stability.
[0066] The present invention specifically limits the mass of tannic acid to 35-40wt% of the total mass of gelatin, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl chitosan. When the amount of tannic acid is controlled within this numerical range, its cross-linking and curing effect is most significant. An appropriate amount of tannic acid can ensure that a uniform and dense cross-linking network is formed between carboxymethyl chitosan molecules. This network structure can effectively resist the transfer of heat and the thermal motion of molecules when heated, thereby slowing down the thermal decomposition rate of curcumin wrapped in the capsule. Therefore, an appropriate amount of tannic acid can significantly improve the thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsule powder. In addition, an appropriate amount of tannic acid can not only enhance the capsule wall structure, but also adjust the release rate of curcumin through its cross-linking and curing effect. The cross-linking network between the tannic acid molecules and the carboxymethyl chitosan molecules can form a dense barrier to effectively block the rapid diffusion of curcumin molecules. At the same time, the phenolic hydroxyl groups on the tannic acid molecules can also interact with the curcumin molecules to further slow down their release rate. Therefore, an appropriate amount of tannic acid can optimize the sustained release effect of the double-layer microcapsules on curcumin.
[0067] When the amount of tannic acid is less than 35wt%, its cross-linking and curing effect is insufficient, and a sufficiently dense capsule wall structure cannot be formed. The loose capsule wall is prone to deformation and collapse when heated, resulting in leakage of curcumin wrapped in the capsule, which accelerates the thermal decomposition process of curcumin. In addition, the loose capsule wall cannot effectively prevent the rapid diffusion of curcumin molecules, resulting in a too fast release rate of curcumin, which not only shortens the release time of curcumin, but also makes the local concentration too high, leading to adverse reactions or side effects. On the contrary, when the amount of tannic acid exceeds 40wt%, its cross-linking and curing effect is too strong, making the capsule wall structure too rigid and brittle, and more prone to cracking and breaking when heated, thereby reducing the overall thermal stability of the double-layer microcapsules; at the same time, excessive tannic acid may also block the microporous structure of the capsule wall, affecting the uniform distribution and loss of heat, further exacerbating the reduction of thermal stability. In addition, when the dosage of tannic acid is too high, the cross-linked network it forms is too dense, making it difficult for curcumin molecules to diffuse outward through the capsule wall, which in turn causes a significant decrease in the release rate of curcumin, and may even lead to a situation where the curcumin cannot be released.
[0068] In some optional examples, the mixing time of the microcapsule solution and tannic acid is 3 to 4 hours, for example, 3.0 hours, 3.1 hours, 3.2 hours, 3.3 hours, 3.4 hours, 3.5 hours, 3.6 hours, 3.7 hours, 3.8 hours, 3.9 hours or 4.0 hours, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.

The fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping films provided in Example 1 and the comparative example were first cut into discs with a diameter of 6 mm and uniform size. Then 100 μL of a 10 6 CFU / mL of Escherichia coli suspension (model D1125B, purchased from Shanghai Roadway Technology Co., Ltd., China) and Staphylococcus aureus suspension (model E2528B, purchased from Shanghai Roadway Technology Co., Ltd., China) were evenly spread on the surface of the nutrient agar medium plate. The cut film samples were placed on the surface of the nutrient agar medium plate coated with the bacterial solution, and then placed in a 37℃ constant temperature box for 24 hours. The size of the antibacterial zone around the film sample was observed and photographed and recorded, and the following was obtained: Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 Colony images are shown.

By comparison, it can be seen that there is almost no antibacterial zone around the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film prepared in the comparative example, and there is an obvious antibacterial zone around the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film prepared in Example 1, which indicates that the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film prepared by the present invention has excellent antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli.
[0200] Fig.12 and Fig.13 The colony images are obtained in the antibacterial performance test of Staphylococcus aureus of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping films prepared in the comparative example and in Example 1, respectively. By comparison, it can be seen that there is almost no antibacterial zone around the periphery of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film prepared in the comparative example, and there is an obvious antibacterial zone around the periphery of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film prepared in Example 1, which indicates that the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film prepared by the present invention has excellent antibacterial ability against Staphylococcus aureus.
[0201] (4) Antibacterial properties:
[0202] The antibacterial activity of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping films provided in Examples 1-13 was analyzed by colony counting method.

[0209] It can be seen from the test data of Example 1, Example 6 and Example 7 that too high or too low a dosage of gelatin will directly affect the structural stability of the double-layer microcapsule powder, thereby affecting the sustained-release effect of the double-layer microcapsule powder on curcumin, and ultimately leading to a decrease in the antibacterial and mechanical properties of the fruit and vegetable preservation film.
[0210] It can be seen from the test data of Example 1, Example 8 and Example 9 that too high or too low an amount of sodium chloroacetate will directly affect the carboxymethylation modification effect of the chitosan powder, thereby affecting the various properties of the double-layer microcapsule powder, and ultimately leading to a decrease in the antibacterial and mechanical properties of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film.
[0211] It can be seen from the test data of Example 1, Example 10 and Example 11 that too high or too low an amount of carboxymethyl chitosan will directly affect the structural stability of the double-layer microcapsule powder, thereby affecting the sustained-release effect of the double-layer microcapsule powder on curcumin, and ultimately leading to a decrease in the antibacterial and mechanical properties of the fruit and vegetable preservation film.
[0212] It can be seen from the test data of Example 1, Example 12 and Example 13 that too high or too low an amount of tannic acid will directly affect the structural stability of the double-layer microcapsule powder, thereby affecting the sustained-release effect of the double-layer microcapsule powder on curcumin, and ultimately leading to a decrease in the antibacterial and mechanical properties of the fruit and vegetable preservation film.
[0213] It can be seen from the test data of Example 1 and the comparative example that the present invention can significantly improve the antibacterial properties and mechanical properties of the fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping film by adding double-layer microcapsule powder into the polymer matrix.
