RESUMEN
A smart film was developed to detect the freshness of pork by incorporating blueberry anthocyanins (BAs) and hinokitiol (HIN) loaded zeolite-imidazolium framework (HIN@ZIF-8) with into a sodium alginate matrix, and its microstructure and physicochemical properties were studied. The SA matrix was doped with BAs and HIN@ZIF-8 nanoparticles (SA-BAs/HIN@ZIF-8) to increase its tensile strength and reduce its water vapor permeability. HIN@ZIF-8 has low cytotoxicity, and SA-BAs/HIN@ZIF-8 membranes have long-lasting antimicrobial and highly sensitive color development properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of pork preservation experiments showed that SA-BA/HIN@ZIF-8 could extend the shelf life of pork to 6 days at 4 â. E-nose evaluation experiments showed that SA-BAs/HIN@ZIF-8 could inhibit compounds that cause unpleasant and irritating odours. Therefore, SA-BAs/HIN@ZIF-8 was considered to be an effective method to improve the freshness of pork, and the results showed that it has a promising application in food preservation.
