This invention discloses a CMC zein@MOF
aloe vera self-regulating antibacterial preservation film, its method, and its application, belonging to the technical field of
food packaging, self-regulating, and antibacterial preservation films. This composite preservation film uses CMC and zein as the core matrix (
mass ratio 4:1), and HKUST-1 nanoparticles (0.2% of the total
mass of the core matrix) and
aloe vera gel (6% of the total
mass of the core matrix) as functional components. Through the synergistic effect of multiple components, it achieves triple preservation effects of
physical barrier, active
antibacterial activity, and
ultraviolet shielding. Its preparation method includes HKUST-1
nanoparticle preparation,
aloe vera gel extraction, core
matrix solution preparation, film-forming solution preparation, and film
drying. The process is simple, cost-controllable, and suitable for large-scale production. The
composite film prepared by this invention has a tensile strength of 68.59 MPa, an antibacterial rate of nearly 100% against
Escherichia coli and
Staphylococcus aureus, a
carbon dioxide /
oxygen selective permeability of 8.04 g·kg·mmol / (m²·h), excellent
biocompatibility, and a soil degradation rate of 54.38% after 60 days. It is mainly used for the preservation of high-
moisture fruits such as strawberries, and can extend the
shelf life of strawberries to more than 6 days at
room temperature of 20-25℃. It effectively solves the problems of existing bio-based films having single function, poor preservation effect, and environmental non-environmental
impact, and provides a green and efficient alternative to
food preservation packaging, with broad prospects for industrial application.
