氧化淀粉的氧化度对其交联海藻酸钠/明胶互穿网络膜性能的影响

以氧化淀粉为交联剂交联明胶、以氯化钙为交联剂交联海藻酸钠,采用分步交联的方法制备了海藻酸钠/明胶互穿网络膜.通过红外光谱仪表征了氧化淀粉、海藻酸钠/明胶互穿网络膜的结构;研究了氧化淀粉的氧化度对互穿网络膜力学性能、热稳定性能、微观形貌、交联度、吸水保水性能等各种性能的影响.结果表明,随着氧化淀粉氧化度的增加,互穿网络膜的拉伸强度、断裂伸长率、交联度呈现先增加后降低的趋势,氧化度为60%的氧化淀粉交联制备的互穿网络膜的以上性能达到最大值;吸水保水性能呈现先降低后增加的趋势,这主要是因为随着互穿网络膜交联度的增加,使两相间形成了均匀、致密的网络结构,两者分子链上大量的羟基和羧基受到束缚,导致互穿网络膜吸水率、保水率的下降.同时也说明了该体系的交联度并不是随着氧化淀粉氧化度的提高而逐渐提高,对于该体系氧化淀粉存在最佳氧化度.

Water resistance, mechanical properties and biodegradability of methylated-cornstarch/poly(vinyl alcohol) blend film

The main shortcomings of biodegradable starch/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) film are hydrophilicity and poor mechanical properties. With an aim to overcome these disadvantages, cornstarch was methylated and blend films were prepared by mixing methylated-cornstarch (MCS) with PVA. The mechanical properties, water resistance and biodegradability of the MCS/PVA film were investigated. It was found that MCS/PVA film had higher water resistance than the native starch/PVA film. However, the water resistance of MCS/PVA films did not have significant difference with the increase in the degree of substitution (DS) of the methylated starch from 0.096 to 0.864. Enzymatic, microbiological and soil burial biodegradation results indicated that the biodegradability of the MCS/PVA film strongly depended on the starch proportion in the film matrix. The degradation rate of starch in the starch/PVA film was hindered by blending starch with PVA. Both tensile strength and percent elongation at break of the MCS/PVA film were improved as DS of the methylated starch increased. Conversely, increasing the methylated starch proportion in film matrix deteriorated both tensile strength and percent elongation at break of the film.     

Preparation and characterization of edible films composed of Dioscorea opposita Thunb. mucilage and starch

With the goals of reducing negative environmental impacts and improving the novel food packaging industry, edible films composed of Chinese yam mucilage (DOM) and starch were prepared via a casting method. The films were characterized by analysing the physical, morphological, mechanical and barrier properties, performing a thermal analysis, and finally performing an acute toxicity analysis in rats that ingested the film-forming solutions. Four film samples (F1, F2, F3 and F4) were prepared to evaluate the effects of ultrasound and the addition of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on DOM. DOM films presented a compact and uniform structure without toxicological responses, and the optimal DOM film-forming solution contained 20.0% mucilage, 10.0% starch, 1.0% glycerol, and 2.0% CMC after a 1 h ultrasound treatment. The solubility, swelling degree and water vapour permeability (WVP) of DOM film were 41.11%, 95.03% and 55.30 g mm/m²·d·kPa, respectively. The functional groups analysed by FT-IR and thermal degradation were not affected by the different formulations. Therefore, the non-toxic and bio-degradable films prepared using DOM have the great potential to be used in applications in food packaging.     

Sorption and diffusion of water vapour on edible films

Two types of films consisting of sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) as film forming materials and glycerin as plasticizer were prepared, characterized and their water vapour sorption properties were determined. The water sorption isotherms of the films were measured using a magnetic suspension balance. Results show that diffusion of water vapour in NaCMC based film is faster than that in HPC based films, due to the heterogeneous structure and larger pore dimensions of the NaCMC films.     

PREPARATION AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF BLEND FILMS FROM SODIUM ALGINATE AND POLYACRYLAMIDE SOLUTIONS

Blend films of sodium alginate and polyacrylamide (PAAm) were prepared by mixing the aqueous solution of both samples at a different ratio. All blend films obtained are optically clear to the naked eye. The structure and physical properties of the films were studied by FT-infrared (FT-IR), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetic analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and tensile strength test. The results showed that the occurrence of interactions between -COO^?, -OH groups of sodium alginate and -CONH₂ groups of PAAm in the blends through hydrogen formation. The blend films exhibited the higher thermal stability and improved mechanical properties in dry states. These properties had the maximum value around 20 wt% PAAm content in the blend film. The morphological transition of the blend films from sodium alginate-like to PAAm-like was observed by scanning electron microscopy.     

Preparation of LDPE-acetylated/butyrylated starch blend blow films and characterization

Development of modified plastics has been studied through the LDPE-acylated starch blend films to examine the effect of different acyl groups and degrees of substitution(DS) on properties of films.Corn starch was modified with acetyl and butyryl groups and films were prepared by blending acylated starch with low density polyethylene(LDPE).Systematic studies were done to observe the effect of acyl groups,DS and starch concentration on the properties and biodegradability of the blend films.It was observed that blend films containing 5% acetylated and butyrylated starches of high DS(2.5,1.7) maintained 75% and 83% of tensile strength of LDPE films.Thermal analysis results indicated that acetylated and butyrylated starch blend films decomposed at 370 °C and 389 °C which were higher than the decomposition temperature of native starch film(349 °C).Scanning electron micrographs of blend films containing high DS acylated starch showed well dispersed starch particles due to improvement in dispersion between starch and LDPE.Water absorption capacity of high DS acetylated and butyrylated starch blend films(4.18% and 3.76%,respectively) was lower than that of native starch films(5%).This study has an advantage because of blown films prepared can be integrated with the present manufacturing systems without any other requirement.     

Modification of mechanical and thermal property of chitosan–starch blend films

Chitosan–starch blend films (thickness 0.2 mm) of different composition were prepared by casting and their mechanical properties were studied. To improve the properties of chitosan–starch films, glycerol and mustard oil of different composition were used. Chitosan–starch films, incorporated with glycerol and mustard oil, were further modified with monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) using gamma radiation. The modified films showed improvement in both tensile strength and elongation at break than the pure chitosan–starch films. Water uptake of the films reduced significantly than the pure chitosan–starch film. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that the modified films experience less thermal degradation than the pure films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR were used to investigate the morphology and molecular interaction of the blend film, respectively.     

Development and Characterization of Functional Starch-Based Films Incorporating Free or Microencapsulated Spent Black Tea Extract

Antioxidant polyphenols in black tea residue are an underused source of bioactive compounds. Microencapsulation can turn them into a valuable functional ingredient for different food applications. This study investigated the potential of using spent black tea extract (SBT) as an active ingredient in food packaging. Free or microencapsulated forms of SBT, using a pectin–sodium caseinate mixture as a wall material, were incorporated in a cassava starch matrix and films developed by casting. The effect of incorporating SBT at different polyphenol contents (0.17% and 0.34%) on the structural, physical, and antioxidant properties of the films, the migration of active compounds into different food simulants and their performance at preventing lipid oxidation were evaluated. The results showed that adding free SBT modified the film structure by forming hydrogen bonds with starch, creating a less elastic film with antioxidant activity (173 and 587 µg(GAE)/g film). Incorporating microencapsulated SBT improved the mechanical properties of active films and preserved their antioxidant activity (276 and 627 µg(GAE)/g film). Encapsulates significantly enhanced the release of antioxidant polyphenols into both aqueous and fatty food simulants. Both types of active film exhibited better barrier properties against UV light and water vapour than the control starch film and delayed lipid oxidation up to 35 d. This study revealed that starch film incorporating microencapsulated SBT can be used as a functional food packaging to protect fatty foods from oxidation.
