TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose immobilized AgNPs modified chitosan composite film with durable antibacterial and preservative properties for fruits and vegetables package
Film preservative packaging is one of common techniques to solve rot problem of fruits and vegetables in transit, storage and sale process. But traditional petroleum-based films have no long-lasting antibacterial properties and they are difficult to biodegrade. Herein, TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose (TCNF) was used as green reducer and stabilizer to synthesize and immobilize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in one-pot method. Next the TCNF immobilized AgNPs was combined with chitosan to form antibacterial preservative composite film (CS/TCNF@AgNPs). The results show that CS/TCNF@AgNPs exhibited satisfied preservative effects for cherry tomatoes and strawberries . Notably, the composite film showed excellent antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus and the accumulated release amount of AgNPs was only about 2.05% after 264 h. Furthermore, the composite film degraded almost completely in soil within 25 days. The cytotoxicity assay also exhibited favorable biocompatibility. Therefore, the composite film has potential application as a packaging material for fruit and vegetable antibacterial preservation.
