Starch-PVA composite films with zinc-oxide nanoparticles and phytochemicals as intelligent pH sensing wraps for food packaging application
Abstract
The increasing acceptance of ready to eat food generates demand on development of active and intelligent food packaging material. Even though many polymers have been used for the packaging, they have limitations for broad applications. Among the various polymers, Poly Vinyl Alcohol is a promising film forming polymer with highly flexible, emulsifying and adhesive properties. A variety of nano-fabrication techniques have already been reported to improve the mechanical and antimicrobial properties of PVA to exploit its wider applications. In the present study, starch-PVA based composite films incorporated with zinc oxide nanoparticles and phytochemicals were prepared by solvent casting technique. The films were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectrometry and SEM. The developed nanocomposite films were demonstrated to have enhanced water barrier, mechanical and antimicrobial properties. The unique features of the nanocomposite with its pH indication property demonstrated in the study indicate its potential usage in food packaging applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
