ABSTRACT
Utilizing renewable natural resources to construct multifunctional packaging materials is critical to achieving sustainable development in the food packaging industry. In this study, we crafted transparent films with comprehensive UV-shielding and antioxidant properties by blending a multicomponent chitosan complex with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), subsequently applied to preserve peanut butter. The multicomponent chitosan complex, synthesized from chitosan, ferulic acid (FA), and 5-oxo-3,5-dihydro-2H-thiazolo [3,2-a] pyridine-7-carboxylic acid (TPCA) through direct heating in water, served as the foundation. This chitosan complex was seamlessly blended with PVA, resulting in the creation of a transparent film through the solvent casting method. A meticulous investigation into the chemical structure and physicochemical properties of the blended films was conducted. The FA and TPCA components exhibited robust ultraviolet absorption properties, conferring virtually complete full-band ultraviolet shielding ability to the blend film. Additionally, FA endowed the blended film with significant antioxidant activity. The effectiveness of the chitosan complex/PVA blended film in preserving peanut butter from oxidative spoilage was demonstrated, showcasing its robustness in food preservation. Our research underscores the significance of creating advanced packaging materials from sustainable sources.
