2024年1月,英国正版365官方网站汤晓智、汪振炯在期刊INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES(Q1,IF: 8.2)发表题为“Preparation and characterization of starch/PBAT film containing hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin/ethyl lauroyl arginate/cinnamon essential oil microcapsules and its application in the preservation of strawberry”的研究性论文。
本研究主要目的是通过添加HPCD/LAE/CEO/MD微胶囊制备抗菌淀粉/PBAT薄膜,并评价其对草莓的保鲜效果。用羟丙基-β-环糊精/月桂酰精氨酸乙酯盐酸盐(HPCD/LAE)包合物稳定肉桂精油(CEO)纳米乳液,然后与麦芽糊精(MD)溶液混合。将混合物喷雾干燥成HPCD/LAE/CEO/MD微胶囊,通过挤压吹膜法制备了含有HPCD/LAE/CEO/MD微胶囊的淀粉/PBAT膜。对微胶囊和膜的结构、性能和抗菌活性进行了表征,并探究了含有HPCD/LAE/CEO/MD微胶囊的淀粉/PBAT膜对草莓保鲜的效果。该研究可为可降解淀粉抗菌膜的相关研究提供技术参考。
研究亮点
1.采用HPCD/LAE包合物稳定肉桂精油纳米乳液。
2.将纳米乳液喷雾干燥成微胶囊,并加入淀粉/PBAT膜中。
3.微胶囊的添加显著提高了膜的力学性能和抗菌性能。
4.含有微胶囊的膜有效地延长了草莓的保质期。
研究结论
当配方为4% HPCD/LAE-3%CEO-9%MD (HL-3C-MD)时,微胶囊粒径最小(3.3 μm),CEO包封率最高(84.51%),抗菌效果最佳。微胶囊(HL-3C-MD)可以填充在淀粉/PBAT膜基质的界面空隙中,增加了膜结构的致密性,提升了薄膜的机械性能,在保持较好断裂伸长率(243.92%)的同时,还提升了膜的阻水、阻氧性能,同时表现出优良的抗菌活性。HL-3C-MD-SP的包装有效降低了草莓在储存期间的失重率(49.03%)、腐烂率(40.59%),保持较好的硬度和可溶性固形物含量,对霉菌(2.936 log CFU/g)和细菌(2.474 log CFU/g)都有很好的抑制效果,提升了草莓品质,延长了草莓的货架期。
