Preparation and Characterization of Poly(butylene succinate) Films Modified with Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) Extract for Packaging Applications
Source abstract
Abstract
Food packaging has to preserve food products, not only providing protection against mechanical factors, but also providing antioxidant and antimicrobial protection. This article describes the effects of PBS film modification with two sea buckthorn extracts (chloroform extract and supercritical CO2 extract) at two different concentrations (1 or 5 g per 100 g of polymer). The films were tested to determine the effect of the active additive on optical properties, mechanical properties, moisture sorption, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties (against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans). The extracts improved free radical scavenging significantly (up to 41.13 ± 1.31% for PBS-CO2 0.05) and reduced the number of microorganisms studied (more than a 6000-fold reduction for E. coli, a 1400-fold reduction in S. aureus and a 1200-fold reduction in C. albicans). The ability to block UV radiation was dependent on the concentration of extracts in the polymer matrix. No significant changes were noticed for mechanical properties or FTIR spectra. The films obtained appear to be potential packaging materials for food products with special protective properties.
