Multifunctional degradable composite film constructed based on sulfur quantum dots and its application in food preservation

  • 摘要: 开发兼具优异保鲜功能与环境友好特性的可持续包装材料仍是当前食品包装领域的重要方向。本论文以表面含有丰富氨基基团的硫量子点(SQDs)作为多功能纳米填料,进而将其与聚丙烯酸(PAA)及聚乙烯醇(PVA)进行复合,成功构筑了兼具多重功能的复合薄膜材料。得益于SQDs与PAA之间的共价交联作用及其与PVA形成的强氢键相互作用,该材料构建了致密的三维网络结构,力学性能与水蒸气阻隔能力显著提升。同时,SQDs固有的多功能特性赋予复合薄膜多重优势,使其兼具高效紫外屏蔽能力、优异抗菌活性及卓越自由基清除性能,有效克服了传统包装材料功能单一的局限。荔枝保鲜实验结果表明,该复合薄膜能够显著延缓果实腐败变质,抑制水分流失,维持果实硬度并稳定pH值,从而延长货架期。此外,该复合薄膜展现出优异的环境可持续性,可在28天内接近完全生物降解,并具有良好的循环再利用性能。本研究为发展新型绿色高性能食品包装材料提供了一条有效途径。

     

    Abstract: Developing sustainable packaging materials that combine excellent preservation performance with environmental friendliness remains an important direction in the field of food packaging. In this study, sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) with abundant amino groups on their surface were employed as multifunctional nanofillers and subsequently compounded with polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to successfully construct a composite film material with multiple functions. Benefiting from the covalent crosslinking between SQDs and PAA as well as the strong hydrogen bonding interactions with PVA, the material formed a dense three-dimensional network structure, leading to significantly enhanced mechanical properties and water vapor barrier performance. Meanwhile, the inherent multifunctional characteristics of SQDs endowed the composite film with multiple advantages, including efficient UV shielding capacity, excellent antibacterial activity, and superior free radical scavenging performance, effectively overcoming the limitation of single-functionality commonly observed in traditional packaging materials. The results of preservation experiments on litchi demonstrated that the composite film significantly delayed fruit spoilage, inhibited water loss, maintained fruit firmness, and stabilizes pH, thereby extending the shelf life. Moreover, the composite film exhibited outstanding environmental sustainability, achieving near-complete biodegradation within 28 days and demonstrating good recyclability. This study provides an effective approach for the development of novel green high-performance food packaging materials.
