ABSTRACT
The migration of metal ions to the food matrix has been always a challenge in the production of active food packaging films. In this study, it was tried to evaluate the idea of using hairy cellulose nanocrystals (HCNs) in controlling the migration of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) from polycaprolactone (PCL)-based films to the Tilapia fish. HCNs and the final films (integrated with various amounts of HCNs and AgNPs) were evaluated physicochemically and mechanically. Tilapia fish were packed using the films and after specific periods, the fish samples were assessed microbiologically and physiochemically. According to the results, incorporating NPs into PCL films enhanced tensile strength, elasticity, and toughness making the films more resistant to breakage and deformation under stress. The introduction of HCNs reduced the surface roughness level, decreasing AgNPs migration, but also accelerated the degradation rate. Films with [1% AgNPs +2% HCNs] and [1% AgNPs] had the lowest and highest water vapor transmission rate. The use of AgNPs (1%) + HCNs (2%) incorporated into PCL films resulted in a lower pH value, TVB-N, TBARs, and PV. It also decreased microbial activities in samples in comparison to the control. Therefore, the idea of using HCNs along with antibacterial metal-based nanoparticles can control the rate of ion migration.
