ABSTRACT
This study presents a novel packaging film based on whey protein isolate/κ-carrageenan (WC) with red grape pomace anthocyanins (RGA) to investigate its impact on some qualitative attributes of emergency food bars (EFBs) for 6 months at 38°C. Increasing the RGA dose in WC films from 5% (WCA5) to 10% (WCA10) reduced hydrogen bonding between polymers and polymer homogeneity in the matrix according to FTIR and SEM. Tensile strength slightly declined in WCA5 from 7.47 ± 0.26 to 6.97 ± 0.12, while elongation increased from 27.74 ± 1.36 to 32.36 ± 1.25% compared to WC film. The maximum weight loss temperature (TM) increased by incorporating 5 wt% RGA from 182.95°C to 244.36°C, whereas TM declined to 187.19°C in WCA10 film. WVP and OTR slightly changed in WCA5 (from 7.83 ± 0.07 and 2.57 ± 0.18 to 8.41 ± 0.03 g H2O.m/m2.Pa.s × 10-9 and 1.79 ± 0.32 cm3 O2/m2.d.bar, respectively), but significantly impaired in WCA10 compared to WC film. WCA5 and WCA10 films had high AA%, 68.77%, and 79.21%, respectively. WCA10 film presented great antimetrical properties against Staphylococcus aureus with an inhibition zone of 6.00 mm. The light transmission of RGA-contained films in the UV spectrum was below 10%. The WCA5 film effectively restrained moisture loss and hardness increment until the end of the storage period, which were 14.33% and 28.76%, respectively, compared to day 0. Antioxidant films provided acceptable resistance against oxidation to EBF treatment. Sensory panels scored WCA5 and WCA10 higher in overall acceptance with 5.64 and 5.40 values, respectively, while complaining about the hardness of OPP treatment. The results of this investigation demonstrated that incorporating RGA, preferably 5 wt%, into WC-based film effectively improved the qualitative properties of EFB during the 6-month shelf life. This film might be a promising alternative for packaging light and oxygen-sensitive food products.
