  Development and Characterization of Starch/Microcrystalline Cellulose/Bentonite Intelligent Packaging Films Incorporated With Red Beet Peel Extract for Monitoring Chicken Freshness

  Gürler, Nedim

  This study presents the physical, mechanical, antioxidant, and application properties of films prepared by adding red beet peel extract to the starch/microcrystalline cellulose/bentonite clay polymer composites by casting method to monitor chicken breast freshness. The effects of bentonite in different proportions (0%, 1%, 5%, and 10%) were investigated. The structure of the films was elucidated by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, and SEM for surface morphology of films. Regarding mechanical testing, the highest tensile strength starch/microcrystalline cellulose-1% bentonite film was 0.88 MPa. It was noticed that water vapor permeability (WVP) improved with the addition of bentonite. Films containing 10% bentonite clay showed a 27% decrease in water vapor permeability compared to films without clay. However, the swelling power of composites increased as the bentonite content increased. Additionally, with the addition of clay the films exhibited more opaque properties. Red beet peel extract was also incorporated to the polymer composite to monitor chicken breast freshness. The antioxidant properties of the films were accomplished using DPPH method. When red beet peel extract was incorporated into the polymer film, the highest DPPH scavenging activity increased by 50%. In summary, starch/microcrystalline cellulose/bentonite films can be used as pH-sensitive intelligent packaging for controlling the freshness of chicken breast.

  Physicochemical Properties for Food Packaging and Toxicity Behaviors Against Healthy Cells of Environmentally Friendly Biocompatible Starch/Citric Acid/Polyvinyl Alcohol Biocomposite Films

  Gürler, Nedim; Paşa, Salih; Erdoğan, Ömer; Cevik, Ozge

  The current study focuses on the fabrication, characterization, and cytotoxic effects of polymeric biocomposite films composed of starch, various concentrations of citric acid (3%, 6%, and 9%), and polyvinyl alcohol. The cross-linked corn starch (S)-polyvinyl alcohol (P) biocomposite films are prepared by casting technique using glucose (G) and fructose (F) as plasticizers. The chemical structure of obtained films is characterized by Fourier transform infrared and x-ray diffraction. Physicochemical parameters of the films such as solubility, swelling capacity, and water vapor permeability, optical and mechanical properties are investigated. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity is evaluated to determine the biocompatibility of samples. The physicochemical properties of S-P(Starch-Polyvinyl alcohol) films improve with the addition of citric acid during the esterification reaction. The tensile strength for Starch-Polyvinyl alcohol-Glucose blend composition with 3% citric acid (SPG3) and Starch-Polyvinyl alcohol-Fructose blend composition with 3% citric acid (SFG3) biocomposite films is determined as 10.17 and 8.24 MPa, respectively, compared to 8.16 and 7.94 MPa for without citric acid, respectively. The cell viability values of biocomposite films towards NIH-3T3 and L929 cells are calculated 90% compared to the control group. Thus, it demonstrates that they are also quite biocompatible materials.
