Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food packaging materials, and in particular to a food packaging film and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Smart packaging is a new type of food packaging material that has sensing, communication and monitoring functions, and can record and provide instant feedback on the quality changes and safety status of packaged food during storage, transportation and sales. pH indicator is a widely used method in smart packaging. It can provide consumers with reliable information about food quality through simple, fast and accurate color changes, and assist consumers and regulators in judging the quality of food during storage and transportation. Meat and protein-rich foods are excellent places for the development of spoilage bacteria. Meat and other foods spoil very quickly. Macromolecular proteins undergo oxidative degradation during the spoilage process, producing a large amount of volatile biogenic amines such as inorganic ammonia, trimethylamine, and cadaverine. These volatile amines will gradually accumulate inside the package as the food spoils. As the degree of food spoilage increases, the volatile gases inside the package will gradually be adsorbed by the smart membrane, hydrolyzed in the membrane to generate H+ or OH-, thereby changing the pH of the response membrane.

[0003] Most of the existing smart packaging materials are petroleum-based. The development and application of petroleum-based packaging materials bring convenience to consumers while causing serious damage to the environment. The emission of harmful gases in the production process and the lack of necessary recycling measures will cause serious environmental pollution. Summary of the invention

[0050] The food packaging films prepared in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were subjected to relevant performance tests. The raw materials and instruments used in the tests are as follows:

[0051] Guar gum was sourced from Beijing Guarrun Technology Co., Ltd. Chitosan (BR), glycerol, and glacial acetic acid were sourced from Shanghai Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. Polyvinylpyrrolidone, calcium chloride, methanol, and sodium hydroxide were sourced from Shanghai MacLean Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazide (DPPH), hydrochloric acid, magnesium oxide, boric acid, methyl red, and bromocresol green were sourced from Shanghai Aladdin Reagent Co., Ltd. All of the above reagents were AR grade.

[0052] Fresh purple sweet potatoes, sourced from the local market.

[0053] Rotary evaporator: XD-3000A, Shanghai Xiande Experimental Instrument Co., Ltd. Freeze dryer: Lab-1A-50E, Beijing Boyikang Experimental Instrument Co., Ltd. UV spectrophotometer: UV-5500PC, Shanghai Yuanxi Instrument Co., Ltd. Universal testing machine: CMT2103, Shenzhen Sansi Experimental Equipment Co., Ltd. Colorimeter: LS173B, Shenzhen Linshang Technology Co., Ltd. Centrifuge: AURORA550D, Biens (Shanghai) Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd.

[0054] Related tests and characterizations are as follows: (1) Mechanical property test: The film thickness was measured using a micrometer (211-101, Dongguan Sanliang Measuring Tools Co., Ltd.) with an accuracy of 0.001 mm. The measurement results of ten random positions were recorded and the average value was taken as the final result. The tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (EB) of the food packaging film were tested using a universal testing machine (CMT2103, Shenzhen Sansi Experimental Equipment Co., Ltd.). First, the film was cut into rectangular strips (70 mm × 20 mm). The film was tested in a dry state. The initial clamping separation was set to 50 mm, and the sample was clamped and stretched at room temperature. The test parameters were as follows: displacement control, inlet force of 0.01 N, test speed of 50 mm / min, fixed force attenuation rate of 40%, and return speed of 500 mm / min. Each sample was measured at least three times. The tensile strength TS and elongation at break EB of the prepared film were calculated according to formulas (1) and (2).

[0055] (1); (2); Where F represents the force; S represents the cross-sectional area of ​​the membrane; L represents the length of the membrane after stretching; L 0 represents the initial length of the membrane.

[0056] (2) Appearance: The appearance of the film is obtained by photography.

[0057] (3) Opacity: Cut the sample film into a rectangle (10 mm × 40 mm) and use a UV-5500PC spectrophotometer (Shanghai Yuanxi Instrument Co., Ltd.) to perform a full wavelength scan at 200 to 800 nm to measure the light blocking performance of the film to determine its light blocking ability. Use a cuvette without film as a blank reference. The opacity value of the film is calculated using formula (3):

[0058] (3); Where A600 represents the absorbance at 600nm; d represents the thickness of the film in millimeters.

[0059] (4) Antioxidant activity assay: To measure the antioxidant activity, 200 mg of food packaging film was reacted with 4 mL of 187.5 μM 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) methanol solution for 6 hours, and the UV absorbance of the solution after the reaction was measured at 517 nm. The percentage of DPPH scavenging activity was calculated using formula (4).

[0060] (4); Among them A DPPH and A sampleThe absorbance values ​​of DPPH methanol solution and sample extract at 517nm are respectively. Pure methanol solution without DPPH is used as blank. Each sample is tested three times.

[0061] (5) Ammonia sensitivity test: Place the food packaging film (2 cm × 2 cm) 1 cm above a bottle containing ammonia solution (1 M, 5 mL) and record the film ammonia sensitivity (color change) at 25°C. Use a camera to record the color of the film at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 h and calculate the response sensitivity S.

[0062] (6) Reusability: The food packaging film samples were exposed to an ammonia solution (20 mL, 2 M) for 10 minutes and then exposed to acetic acid (20 mL, 2 M) for 10 minutes. The actual images and UV-visible spectral characteristics of the food packaging film samples before and after exposure to ammonia were recorded.

[0063] (7) Monitoring of freshness by food packaging film: Food packaging film samples (1 cm × 2 cm) were pasted on the inner top of a polypropylene container (7 cm in diameter, 4 cm in height). Fresh shrimp were then placed at the bottom of the container and kept at 25°C for 32 hours. The color of the film samples was recorded every day.

[0064] (8) Biodegradation experiment: Cut the food packaging film into 30mm×50mm rectangular pieces and store them vertically in 50g of 30-mesh compost soil in a 250mL beaker. Water the soil with 5mL of water every day to keep it moist, then take out the buried film from the compost and take photos. Place 50g of 30-mesh compost soil in a petri dish, take a part of the cut food packaging film and place it on the soil surface, and take photos every day.

[0065] The results of relevant tests and characterizations are as follows: The mechanical properties of food packaging films reflect their ability to maintain good integrity and sustainability in the food supply chain. TS reflects the toughness of the film and the maximum external stress it can withstand, and EB reflects the ductility of the film.

[0066] See also Figure 1 , the tensile strength of the food packaging film is higher than 35Mpa, indicating that it has good mechanical properties and can withstand large forces. The addition of purple sweet potato extract has little effect on the tensile strength of the food packaging film. A small amount of purple sweet potato extract can increase the tensile strength of the film, which is related to the formation of a more stable and dense film network through hydrogen bond interactions. With the continuous increase of the content of purple sweet potato extract, the tensile strength of the film decreases slightly, but the properties remain good.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the food packaging film has good transparency. Figure 2The appearance and opacity of the film are shown. It can be seen that as the content of purple sweet potato extract increases, the color of the film gradually deepens and becomes dark yellow. However, the pattern below can still be clearly seen through the film.

[0068] Ultraviolet and visible light can cause oxidation and degradation of food, leading to quality problems for packaged food. Figure 3 It can be seen that after ultraviolet light irradiation, the anti-counterfeiting marks covered by GC, GP, and GCP films are clearly presented. After the food packaging film is covered, the anti-counterfeiting mark gradually dims with the increase of the content of purple sweet potato extract in the film. When the content of purple sweet potato extract reaches 0.6wt%, the food packaging film has completely blocked ultraviolet light, and the anti-counterfeiting mark is no longer visible, indicating that the food packaging film has a good ultraviolet blocking rate. The addition of purple sweet potato extract significantly enhances the barrier ability of food packaging film to ultraviolet light (200nm~400nm), because the polyphenol compounds in purple sweet potato extract can absorb ultraviolet-visible light radiation. At 280nm, the ultraviolet light transmittance of the food packaging film can be reduced to a minimum of 0.01% (GCPP 1.0 ). The addition of purple sweet potato extract can effectively improve the UV barrier performance of food packaging film.

[0069] Packaging films with strong antioxidant capacity can protect food from oxidation and extend the shelf life of food. The antioxidant activity (free radical scavenging activity) of the film was tested using DPPH ethanol solution. Figure 5 The DPPH antioxidant activity of food packaging film was shown. Purple sweet potato extract contains a large number of polyphenol compounds, and a large number of hydroxyl groups in polyphenol compounds can eliminate free radicals. The antioxidant activity of food packaging film after adding purple sweet potato extract was significantly improved, and it increased with the increase of purple sweet potato extract addition, from 37.11% (GCPP 0.2 ) increased to 78.55% (GCPP 1.0 ).

[0070] Using GCPP 0.8 The shrimps were packaged with a film to demonstrate the monitoring of freshness. The results are as follows Figure 6As shown. When the TVB-N value exceeds 15 mg / 100g, the shrimp meat becomes stale and unfit for consumption; when the TVB-N value exceeds 35 mg / 100g, the shrimp meat begins to deteriorate; when the TVB-N value exceeds 50 mg / 100g, the shrimp meat completely deteriorates. When the TVB-N value of shrimp meat increases from 6.02 mg / 100g to 22.34 mg / 100g, the color of the food packaging film changes from flesh pink to brown, and the ΔE is 12.89, which is greater than 5 and can be easily identified by the naked eye. When TVB-N reaches 37.34 mg / 100g, which is higher than 35 mg / 100g, the shrimp meat deteriorates and cannot be eaten anymore. At this time, the color of the food packaging film also changes from brown to yellow-green. This shows that the film can be used to visually monitor the freshness changes of protein-rich foods.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, GCPP 0.8 The film appears light pink in an acidic environment and yellow-green in an alkaline environment, with a very obvious color difference. It can be seen that the film can still have good color response ability after five acid-base cycles and has good reusability.

[0072] GCPP 0.8 The film was buried in moist compost soil and its degradation by soil microorganisms was observed. Figure 8 As shown in (a), GCPP 0.8 The film showed cracks on the third day and was completely degraded on the fifth day, indicating that GCPP 0.8 The membrane is degradable. Guar gum, acidified chitosan, purple sweet potato extract and polyvinyl pyrrolidone are all hydrophilic, which makes them swell and dissolve in water medium to promote degradation.

[0073] GCPP 0.8 The film was placed on the surface of moist compost soil to observe the degradation of soil microorganisms. Figure 8 As shown in (b). GCPP 0.8 White spots appeared on the membrane on the 3rd day and a large number of hyphae appeared on the 15th day, indicating that the microorganisms were involved in GCPP 0.8 Membrane decomposition. On the 25th day GCPP 0.8 Cracks appeared on the membrane, GCPP on the 45th day 0.8 The film becomes thinner and the cracks become larger, indicating that GCPP 0.8 The above results show that the prepared GCPP can be used in soil or on the soil surface. 0.8 The film has good biodegradability, which indicates that the food packaging film provided by the present invention has good biodegradability.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the above specific embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention. Various deformations and modifications may occur within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, and any modification, modification or equivalent replacement made by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the above description shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
