ABSTRACT
In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as a film-forming substrate, added to extracted tea polyphenols (TPs) in various ratios and processed with ultrasonication to form films using the tape-casting method. The effects of ultrasonic processing duration on the properties of PVA/TP antibacterial active materials were explored via material property testing. The results showed that, overall, ultrasonic processing degraded the tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite films. When PVA/TP composite films with a PVA-to-TP mass ratio of 82 were processed with ultrasonication for 30â¯min, the swelling capacity was (740.19⯱â¯64.67)% and solubility was (5.26⯱â¯1.31)%. Ultrasonication also improved the degradability and barrier properties of composite films. Moreover, 8/2 composite films with the PVA/TP ratio of 82 exhibited excellent bacteriostatic properties; after ultrasonication processing, the films had a bacteriostatic rate of (95.5⯱â¯4.2)% and (91.8⯱â¯3.7)% against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively, making them suitable for use as antibacterial active materials in food packaging.
