摘要
Active packaging systems that are sustainable and capable of delivering antimicrobial agents intelligently are in demand in food industry. In this work, an extremely simple strategy inspired by leaf stomata was introduced to smartly trigger thymol release at different relative humidity using EVOH as the "stomata". Thymol was encapsulated into ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) to form core-shell nanofibers (thymol/EVOH) via coaxial electrospinning. The core-shell structure of the nanofiber was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Thymol release could be triggered by the relative humidity (RH), and nanofibers released more thymol at 90% RH than at 30% RH. In addition, this functionalized nanofibers showed excellent antibacterial activity in vitro against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and performed good biocompatibility. The nanofiber film was also applied to fruit preservation, and was found to extend the strawberries shelf-life. Sensory analysis also showed that the strawberries flavor treated by thymol/EVOH nanofibers presented high acceptability. The work will provide an innovative approach to design packaging film.
