Abstract:
Objective: The pollution of plastic food packaging is a worldwide environmental problem. In this study, photocatalytic technology was used to prepare for food packaging film which soy protein isolate was as a raw material, expect the effective inactivation of harmful microorganisms by photocatalysis, in the purpose of improve food quality, extend shelf life as well as saving packaging materials. Method: Through single factor experiments and orthogonal test to optimize the casting process. Water vapor permeability, air permeability and transmittance were used as indicators of the physical properties of films. On the basis, effects of TiO2, irradiation time and wavelength on antibacterial properties of composite film were investigated. Result: The optimum condition for making composite film include 4.50 g of SPI, 2.00 g of titanium dioxide, 3.75 g of glycerol in 150 mL solution which water vapor permeability was 5.19 gmm/(m2·d) kpa, transmittance was 71.60%, oxygen permeability was 0.12 mg/(cm2d), carbon dioxide permeability was 11.82 mg/(cm2·d), intensity of tension was 0.49 MPa, elongation at break was 98.96%. When exposed to two hours irradiation of UV light at 365 nm, the bactericidal activity of SPI films containing TiO2 nanoparticles (2.00 g/150 mL) against gram negative Es-cherichia coli (E. coli) and gram positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) can reach 71.01% and 88.49%, respectively. Conclusion: With better physical properties and strong antibacterial activity, the film incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles has the potential to replace synthetic plastics.
