Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biodegradable polymer materials technology, and particularly relates to an oil-resistant, high-temperature, fast-dissolving, edible packaging film and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing environmental awareness and the promotion of "plastic restriction" policies, edible packaging films have become a research hotspot in the food packaging field due to their biodegradability and food safety. Currently, edible films based on polysaccharide materials such as starch and sodium alginate have made some progress. They exhibit good stability at room temperature and are readily soluble in water at high temperatures, making them suitable for packaging solid foods such as instant noodle seasonings.

[0003] However, existing edible films exhibit significant oil resistance defects when applied to packaging liquid oils such as the oily seasoning packets of instant noodles. Oils easily permeate the film material, leading to leakage or even spoilage of the packaged contents, as well as appearance contamination. This limits the application of such packaging in liquid oil food systems.

[0004] Therefore, how to develop an edible packaging film that combines high-temperature rapid dissolution and oil resistance to expand its application in the field of liquid oil packaging is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, an oil-resistant, high-temperature, quick-dissolving, edible packaging film and its preparation method are provided. This oil-resistant, high-temperature, quick-dissolving, edible packaging film uses natural polymers as gel components, which have the advantages of being edible and biodegradable. Furthermore, by rationally combining three gel components with different properties, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and sorbitol, it achieves good mechanical properties and oxygen barrier properties, as well as high-temperature quick-dissolving and oil resistance.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oil-resistant, high-temperature, quick-dissolving, edible packaging film, the raw materials of which, by weight percentage, include 0.5-5.0% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 0.1-1.5% sorbitol, 1.0-9.0% gelling agent, 0.05-1.0% coagulant, and the balance being water;

[0007] The gelling agent comprises carrageenan, low-acyl gellan gum, and xanthan gum in a mass ratio of 1:0.1~0.3:0.01~0.05, and the mass ratio of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose to xanthan gum is 1:0.01~0.1.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, the carrageenan is selected from at least one of κ-carrageenan, λ-carrageenan, or ι-carrageenan.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, the coagulant is selected from potassium salts, preferably potassium citrate.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of the gelling agent to the coagulant is 1:0.05~0.2.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of the gelling agent to the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is 1:0.25~1.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of the gelling agent to the sorbitol is 1:0.05~0.2.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose to the xanthan gum is 1:0.05~0.07.

[0014] A second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned oil-resistant, high-temperature, quick-dissolving, edible packaging film, comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1. Add the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and the coagulant to water and stir to obtain the first adhesive solution;

[0016] S2. Add the gelling agent to the first adhesive solution, heat to 60~80℃, stir, and obtain the second adhesive solution;

[0017] S3. Add the sorbitol to the second adhesive solution, cool to 60℃±5℃, stir, and obtain the third adhesive solution;

[0018] S4. The third adhesive liquid is kept at a constant temperature of 60±5℃, defoamed, coated onto the back plate, and dried to obtain the oil-resistant, high-temperature soluble, edible packaging film.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present invention, the stirring temperature in S1 is 40~60°C.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present invention, the defoaming in S4 is performed by static defoaming or vacuum defoaming.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drying temperature in S4 is 60±5°C.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, the humidity of the drying process in S4 is 40-60%.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The oil-resistant, high-temperature, quick-dissolving, edible packaging film of the present invention uses natural polymers as gel components, which have the advantages of being edible and biodegradable. Furthermore, by rationally combining three gel components with different properties, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and sorbitol, it achieves good mechanical properties and oxygen barrier properties, as well as high-temperature quick-dissolving and oil resistance. This oil-resistant, high-temperature, quick-dissolving, edible packaging film is not only suitable for packaging solid foods such as instant noodle seasonings, but also for packaging liquid oils such as oily seasoning packets for instant noodles.
