Polyvinyl Alcohol/ Cinnamon Essential Oils-Loaded Porous Rice Starch Composite Film for Active Food Packaging with Slow Release

Abstract:

Porous starch (PS) was used as a carrier agent for cinnamon essential oil (CEO) for the development of an active food packaging film. This study aimed to investigate polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA incorporated with CEO (PVA-CEO), and a composite PVA film enriched with PS loaded with CEO (PVA-PSCEO). The results showed that the PVA-PSCEO film exhibited a tensile strength (TS) of 24.48 ± 0.70 MPa, an elongation at break (EAB) of 365.94 ± 6.76%, and a water vapor permeability (WVP) of 4.3523×10⁻⁸± 3.1008×10⁻⁸ gH2O.m/m²·h·Pa. The PVA-PSCEO significantly increased thickness and UV-protection ability compared with PVA and PVA-CEO. The CEO release profile of the PVA-PSCEO film also demonstrated a slow-release behavior. Films containing either CEO or PS-CEO both exhibited antioxidant activity and antimicrobial properties. SEM analysis revealed that the loading of CEO into PS improved the dispersion of CEO within the film. FTIR spectra indicated the presence of interactions among PVA, PS, and CEO. Therefore, this slow-release active film shows strong potential for food packaging applications.
