ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial packing showed great potential in extending the shelf life of food. However, developing a new biocomposite film with an intelligent and efficient antimicrobial performance is still desirable. Herein, a Fe-MoOx encapsulated with curcumin (Cur) filled chitosan-based composite film (CCF films) was prepared by solvent casting method. The total color differences of the CCF films were less than 30%, and satisfactory surface color, transparency, hydrophobicity, and thermal stability were also obtained. Besides, the UV-light/water/oxygen barrier capability and mechanical properties were enhanced with the incorporation of Cur@Fe-MoOx. Moreover, CCF films showed photothermal performance and thermal-controlled curcumin release ability, which endowed the CCF0.15 film with excellent antibacterial capability toward E. coli (≥99.95%) and S. aureus (≥99.96%) due to the synergistic antibacterial effect. Fe-MoOx exhibited high cell viability and less than 5% hemolysis even under the concentration of 500 μg mL-1. Based on those unique characteristics, the CCF0.15 film was chosen for tangerine preservation. The CCF0.15 film could prolong the shelf life of tangerine by at least 9 days compared with the unpacking group, and the tangerines could maintain the freshness characteristics over a 24 day storage period. Such thermal-mediated antibacterial film proposed by our work showed promising potential in food packaging.
