Influence of Gelatin-Based Coatings Crosslinked with Phenolic Acids on PLA Film Barrier Properties
Source abstract
Abstract
Single-use plastics are a major source of pollution and biodegradable polymers could be the best substitute, as they possess similar barrier and functional properties. Aiming at improving barrier properties and providing antioxidant bioactivity, PLA (PolyLactic Acid) films were coated with a crosslinked suspension of plasticized gelatin incorporating phenolic compounds. The coating process induced weak modifications of PLA properties due to plasticization by moisture and glycerol from the coating suspension. Indeed, a double glass transition was displayed. The water vapor barrier properties of the PLA-coated films were not significantly affected. Phenolic compounds induced a crosslinking of the gelatin network, slightly decreasing the moisture sensitivity and surface hydrophilicity. Therefore, the mechanical properties of PLA were maintained after coating and their barrier properties were highly improved, with up to a 600-fold reduction of the oxygen transfer rate. These results make possible new applications for oxidation-sensitive foods, and even for semi-moist foods.
