Preparation and Characterization of Degradable Cellulose-Based Paper with Superhydrophobic, Antibacterial, and Barrier Properties for Food Packaging.

ABSTRACT: A great paradigm for foremost food packaging is to use renewable and biodegradable lignocellulose-based materials instead of plastic. Novel packages were successfully prepared from the cellulose paper by coating a mixture of polylactic acid (PLA) with cinnamaldehyde (CIN) as a barrier screen and nano silica-modified stearic acid (SA/SiO₂) as a superhydrophobic layer. As comprehensively investigated by various tests, results showed that the as-prepared packages possessed excellent thermal stability attributed to inorganic SiO₂ incorporation. The excellent film-forming characteristics of PLA improved the tensile strength of the manufactured papers (104.3 MPa) as compared to the original cellulose papers (70.50 MPa), enhanced by 47.94%. Benefiting from the rough nanostructure which was surface-modified by low surface energy SA, the contact angle of the composite papers attained 156.3°, owning superhydrophobic performance for various liquids. Moreover, the composite papers showed excellent gas, moisture, and oil bacteria barrier property as a result of the reinforcement by the functional coatings. The Cobb_300s and WVP of the composite papers were reduced by 100% and 88.56%, respectively, and their antibacterial efficiency was about 100%. As the novel composite papers have remarkable thermal stability, tensile strength, and barrier property, they can be exploited as a potential candidate for eco-friendly, renewable, and biodegradable cellulose paper-based composites for the substitute of petroleum-derived packages.

Project description:Microbial contamination and the need for sustainable food production are driving the shift toward biodegradable food packaging materials. There is an urgent need to develop smart food packaging materials that can prevent contamination and prolong the shelf life of meat. To achieve this, the physical-chemical characteristics of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based packaging films were enhanced through incorporation of lactic acid and anthocyanins to act as a pH indicator. The mechanical, hydrophilic, barrier, and antibacterial properties of the composite films were then evaluated to test the ability of the film to act as a packaging material. In addition, the surface morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the functional groups by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, optical transparency using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer, crystallinity by powder diffraction, and their thermal properties by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The films had a swelling degree (SD) of 222.60 ± 21.19%, dry content (DC) of 70.56 ± 2.54%, moisture content (MC) of 29.44 ± 2%, ALRO moisture (AM) content of 41.85 ± 5.06, and total soluble matter (TSM) of 8.05 ± 1.05%. Moreover, incorporation of lactic acid enhanced the mechanical and the thermal properties of the films but it reduced their optical transparency. The water vapor permeability (WVP) was found to be 14.32 × 10-3 g-1 s-1 Pa-1 and it inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli (EC) (10.67 ± 0.58 cm), Staphylococcus aureus (SA) (10.50 ± 0.40 cm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) (10.33 ± 0.58 cm), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (11 ± 1 cm) but not Bacillus subtilis (BS). The film's hue changed from red to green over time when used as a packaging material for meat under ambient condition indicating a deterioration in freshness. In conclusion, the developed packaging film exhibited enhanced mechanical, antimicrobial, and hydrophilic properties and it can be used to store and relay information when stored meat begins to decompose through a visible color change of the films.
