Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the potential of using natural polymers like semi-refined iota carrageenan (SRIC) and fish gelatin (FG) to create eco-friendly food packaging films that replace conventional plastics.
- - Different ratios of SRIC and FG were tested, with the inclusion of SiO-ZnO nanoparticles, which enhanced the films' key properties like UV protection, antimicrobial activity, and mechanical strength.
- - The best-performing formulation was a 1.5:0.5% SRIC-FG film, indicating strong potential for these biocomposite films to reduce plastic waste and keep food fresh longer.
In the current study, film based on semi-refined ι-carrageenan/cassava starch (SRiC/CS) incorporated with SiO-ZnO nanoparticles was fabricated and characterized to deal with serious environmental problems resulting from plastic packaging materials. This study aimed to evaluate film properties with the variation of SRiC/CS proportions of bionanocomposite films for application to minced chicken meat packaging. Increasing CS portion contributed to increased transparency, reduced surface roughness, and decreased mechanical properties of films.
