Sustainable Active Packaging from On-Demand Degradable PLA/PBAT and Zn-Doped TiO₂ Composites.

ABSTRACT: Shelf life extendable packaging and ethylene scavenger technologies for climacteric fruits and vegetables have garnered much attention in recent years. These products effectively enable food quality to be maintained, ensure food safety, and prolong food storage life, which are key to helping reduce food waste. Current technologies - both in terms of academic research and broader commercial application - imply the use of chemicals that are of low activity, of high toxicity, or difficult to handle. Therefore, in this work, we prepared Zn-doped TiO₂ photocatalysts, containing 0.1 and 2.0 mol % of Zn dopant (Zn _0.1% -TiO ₂ and Zn _2% -TiO ₂ ), through a simple sol-gel method, which wer
