明胶/普鲁兰酶改性淀粉膜的制备与性能研究

研究了普鲁兰酶对淀粉膜性能的影响及明胶对普鲁兰酶改性淀粉膜性能的影响。结果表明:与原淀粉膜相比,普鲁兰酶改性淀粉膜的表面更平滑;膜的热稳定性增大,热封性能增强;抗拉强度、水蒸气透过率和透光率分别增加了75%、18%和35%,断裂伸长率降低了53%。与未添加明胶的酶改性淀粉膜相比,添加明胶后,膜的表面变粗糙;膜的阻水性能与阻光性能增强,热封性能变差。当明胶添加量为10%时,膜的抗拉强度增加了17.6%;当明胶添加量为25%时,膜的断裂伸长率增加了54.3%;在明胶添加量为15%时,膜的热稳定性最大。     

淀粉成膜性和疏水性对表面施胶包装纸的影响

本文研究了添加甘油对疏水改性木薯淀粉膜力学性能及阻隔性能的影响,甘油的添加降低了疏水改性淀粉膜的玻璃转化温度、储能模量及水蒸气透过量.当温度低于临界温度上限时,疏水改性淀粉将会出现固态及液态两种形式.热的淀粉溶液中加入适量的甘油可以抑制淀粉微粒的沉淀.与羟丙基淀粉相比,疏水改性淀粉中添加不同量的甘油并涂覆干基材表面,对基材的阻隔性、水蒸气透过量、接触角及可勃吸水值均有一定影响.从表面施胶基材的可勃吸水值和水蒸气透过量的变化上可以看出,淀粉的成膜性对基材的性能有非常重要的影响.良好的成膜性可以改善基材的阻气、阻湿性,而对基材表面润湿性的影响不大.随着甘油含量的逐渐增加,基材的水蒸气透过量不断减少;但仍无法得到较好的阻湿性能.本文中所用的疏水改性淀粉具有较好的氧气阻隔性能和接触角,因此,表面施胶后的基材具有较好的疏水特性.同时在实验条件下研究了淀粉沉淀对基材性能的影响,利用淀粉沉淀对基材表面进行施胶后即使淀粉成膜性较差,也可以得到较低的水蒸气透过量和较高的接触角.通过增加疏水改性淀粉中甘油的含量,表面施胶基材的可勃吸水值可以得到显著改善.

微晶纤维素的醚化改性及其在淀粉膜中的应用

为改善微晶纤维素（microcrystalline cellulose,MCC）在淀粉膜中的分散性,通过对MCC进行阳离子醚化改性,制得改性微晶纤维素（modified-microcrystalline cellulose,MD-MCC）,并对其化学结构、结晶性、热稳定性和微观形貌进行表征。采用溶液流延法制得淀粉-微晶纤维素复合膜（淀粉-MCC,淀粉-MD-MCC）,分别研究MCC和MD-MCC添加量对淀粉膜结构和性能的影响。结果表明,与MCC相比,MD-MCC的基本化学结构未改变,仍然保持纤维素的基本结构,但其结晶度和热稳定性略有降低,表面呈多孔结构。随着MCC和MD-MCC添加量的增加,淀粉膜的表面粗糙度增大,透光率和断裂伸长率降低,水接触角、水分含量和厚度增大,抗拉强度和水蒸气渗透系数先增加后减小。MD-MCC在淀粉膜中的分散性优于MCC,淀粉-MD-MCC复合膜的力学性能和阻水性能优于淀粉-MCC复合膜,其中MD-MCC添加量为5%时,复合膜具有最大的抗拉强度和阻水性能。

为了提高淀粉基复合膜的阻水性,拓宽淀粉膜的应用范围,以羟丙基二淀粉磷酸酯与聚乙烯醇(PVA)为成膜原料,硼酸为交联剂,采用挤出吹塑工艺制备了淀粉/PVA复合膜。分析了粒料的流变性能,研究了淀粉膜的交联密度、力学性能、阻隔性能、疏水性能以及微观形貌等性质。结果表明,随着硼酸添加量的增加,淀粉/PVA复合材料的熔体流动性下降,淀粉/PVA复合膜的阻氧、阻水性能增强,而淀粉膜的抗拉强度和拉伸模量呈降低趋势,断裂伸长率先升高后降低。添加1%的硼酸,淀粉/PVA复合膜的表面更加均匀平整,疏水性最强,具有最小的溶胀度、最大的凝胶质量和最高的交联密度。     

甘氨酸和淀粉膜对面包中丙烯酰胺的协同控制作用

研究面包配料中添加甘氨酸和在面团表面涂刷淀粉膜对面包表皮中丙烯酰胺的协同控制作用。甘氨酸对丙烯酰胺的抑制效果非常显著,当甘氨酸的添加量为面粉的0.1%时,对丙烯酰胺的抑制率达到80.5%;当甘氨酸添加量为面粉的3%时,能将丙烯酰胺含量减少到检测限（＜1?μg/kg）以下。在对面团进行焙烤前,将面团表面涂刷不同的淀粉膜,能够抑制面包中的丙烯酰胺20%以上;抑制效果由高到低分别为：混合淀粉膜＞马铃薯淀粉膜＞玉米淀粉膜。将两种方法结合,甘氨酸在低添加量（0.1%）时结合玉米淀粉膜,对丙烯酰胺的抑制率增加到85.1%,同时还能较好地保持面包的外观颜色。甘氨酸与天冬酰胺竞争底物和淀粉膜中限制性前体物质天冬酰胺的大量减少,是面包中丙烯酰胺的生成量显著降低的主要原因。

Physicochemical,Microstructural, and Antibacterial Properties of β‐Chitosan and Kudzu Starch Composite Films

Abstract: This study investigated physicochemical, microstructural, and antibacterial properties of β‐chitosan–kudzu starch composite films with addition of 0%, 20%, 60%, or 100% kudzu starch (w starch/w chitosan) in 1% chitosan solution. Molecular interactions between chitosan and kudzu starch and the crystal structure of the films were also determined. Adding 60% kudzu starch reduced water vapor permeability and solubility of pure β‐chitosan film by about 15% and 20%, respectively, whereas mechanical strength and flexibility of the film were increased about 50% and 25%, respectively. Micrograph showed that β‐chitosan film was totally amorphous, and the composite films generally became rougher with more starch added. Fourier transform infrared and X‐ray diffraction spectra showed that the 2 film‐forming components were compatible with each other. Pure β‐chitosan film resulted in 9.5 and 11.5 log CFU/mL reduction in Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua based on plate count method, respectively. Addition of kudzu starch reduced the antibacterial activity of film, but still achieved 8.3 and 10.3 log CFU/mL reduction in E. coli and L. innocua, respectively when kudzu starch to chitosan weight ratio was 1:1. Reduced antibacterial activity might attribute to the interaction of amino groups in β‐chitosan with the hydroxyl groups in kudzu starch. This study demonstrated that kudzu starch effectively improved water barrier of β‐chitosan film, and the composite films retained strong antibacterial ability. Practical Application: One percent of β‐chitosan containing 60% kudzu starch (w/w chitosan) composite films possessed better mechanical and water barrier properties than pure β‐chitosan films, and showed strong antibacterial activity against both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. The films may be used as wraps or coatings to prolong the shelf life of different foods or other similar applications.     

Effect of sodium caseinate on properties and ageing behaviour of corn starch based films

The effect of sodium caseinate addition on corn starch films was studied in terms of microstructural, mechanical, optical and water and oxygen barrier properties and the changes they underwent during their 5 weeks' storage under controlled conditions. The influence of the polymer mixture on the degree of crystallization of the films was also analysed. The following starch: protein ratios were considered. 100:0, 75:50, 50:50 and 0:100. SEM Microstructure analysis revealed the compatibility of both hydrocolloids since no phase separation was observed. The addition of sodium caseinate to the starch films provided films that were less stiff and resistant to fracture but more flexible and deformable than pure starch films, with similar water vapour permeability values. The films became more permeable to oxygen as their sodium caseinate content increased in line with the higher permeability values of the protein film. Incorporating sodium caseinate to starch films provoked a slight increase in transparency, but a loss of gloss, which also decreased in composite films during storage. The re-arrangement of polymer chains during storage caused a loss of mechanical resistance, stretchability and gloss in composite films.     

预糊化对挤压吹塑制备淀粉/PVA纳米复合膜性能的影响

为了获得高性能的淀粉基复合膜,选取羟丙基交联淀粉(HP)和2种预糊化羟丙基交联淀粉(PC、PE)为成膜基材,分别与2种聚合度的PVA(1 700、2 400)复合,添加有机改性蒙脱土为增强剂,采用挤压吹塑法制备了淀粉/PVA纳米复合膜。结果表明:PC/PVA、PE/PVA复合膜表面不存在淀粉颗粒碎片,HP/PVA复合膜表面分布着未糊化的淀粉颗粒;同种淀粉和高聚合度的PVA之间,界面亲合力更强,相容性更好,形成的复合膜力学性能较好,疏水性能更强;预糊化淀粉有利于良好、有序插层结构的形成,与PVA分子之间联结更紧密,阻碍了水分子的吸附和透过。     

Effects of virgin coconut oil on the physicochemical,morphological and antibacterial properties of potato starch-based biodegradable films

This study investigated the effects of adding different concentrations of virgin coconut oil (VCO) on the optical, mechanical, thermodynamic and antimicrobial properties, as well as water vapour permeability and morphology of potato starch-based biodegradable films. Increasing VCO concentrations caused a rise in the light transmittance of the films from 2.13 to 4.79 mm⁻¹ and a decrease in water vapour transmittance from 6.77 to 2.12 (10⁻⁵ GPa⁻¹ h⁻¹ m⁻¹). At a VCO concentration of 14 wt% (based on potato starch), the tensile strength reached its highest value (19.98 MPa). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface of the film became smoother as VCO concentration increased. The addition of VCO inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In conclusion, VCO supplementation improved the mechanical, antibacterial and water barrier properties of starch-based films. These results could expand the scope of the application of starch-based films in food packaging.     

Edible and Biodegradable Starch Films: A Review

Mainly due to environmental aims, petroleum-based plastics are being replaced by natural polymers. In the last decades, starch has been evaluated in its film-forming ability for applications in the food packaging area. Characteristics of the starch film matrices, the film formation methods, and physicochemical properties of the starch films are reviewed in this paper. The influences of different components added in casting methods and thermoplastic processes have been also analyzed. Comparison of mechanical properties of newly prepared starch films and stored films reveals that the recrystallization phenomenon made the films more rigid and less stretchable. These effects can be inhibited by adding other polymers to the starch matrix. Other approaches to improve the starch films’ properties are the reinforcement by adding organic or inorganic fillers to the starch matrix as well as the addition of functional compounds. In this way starch films have improved mechanical and barrier properties and can act as a bioactive packaging. Physicochemical properties of the starch films showed a great variability depending on the compounds added to the matrix and the processing method. Nevertheless, dry methods are more recommendable for film manufacturing because of the greater feasibility of the industrial process. In this sense, a better understanding of the nano and microstructural changes occurring in the matrices and their impact on the film properties is required.     

Properties of wheat starch film-forming dispersions and films as affected by chitosan addition

In order to evaluate the impact of chitosan on the physical properties of wheat starch–glycerol films, part of the wheat starch was replaced by chitosan, and the effect of composition on the properties of both the films and the film-forming dispersions was studied. The latter became more stable and viscous as the chitosan proportion was increased in the mixture. Both polymers appeared to integrate homogeneously in the film matrix. The combined effect of the glycerol and chitosan proportions affected the mechanical and barrier properties of the films. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of the films were improved as chitosan ratio increased. The oxygen and water vapor permeability slightly increased in line with the amount of chitosan in the blend although the induced differences were very small. Chitosan ratio directly affected the antimicrobial properties of the films, which showed a significant bactericide activity when the chitosan–starch ratio in the film was 50%. Nevertheless, at a starch:chitosan ratio of 80:20, counts of coliforms did not exceed the initial value in the meat after 7 storage days.     

复合增塑剂聚乙二醇200与甘油对淀粉/PHA复合膜性能的影响

本文以羟丙基交联木薯淀粉、聚羟基脂肪酸酯(PHA)为成膜基材,甘油(GLY)为主增塑剂,聚乙二醇200(PEG200)为辅增塑剂,有机改性蒙脱土(OMMT)为增强剂,采用挤压吹塑法制备淀粉/PHA复合膜。研究了PEG200与GLY质量比对淀粉/PHA复合膜性能的影响。采用X-射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)和红外光谱(FT-IR)分别对膜的结构、微观形貌和分子间相互作用进行了表征,并测试了膜的水蒸气阻隔性、机械性能、透光率和色度。结果表明,主增塑剂甘油对淀粉/PHA共混体系具有较好的增塑效果,且随着辅增塑剂PEG200的加入,促进了淀粉、PHA分子与OMMT间纳米插层结构的形成,所成复合膜表面较为平整光滑,且透光率、白度值增加;当PEG200与GLY质量比为8/92时,所成复合膜阻水性较好,具有较高的断裂伸长率;当PEG200与GLY质量比为12/88时,所成复合膜具有较高的抗拉强度和透光率;辅增塑剂PEG200的添加能够增强各分子间的相互作用。在制备淀粉/PHA复合膜中,PEG200是一种较好的增塑剂和增容剂,PEG200与GLY的质量比不宜超过12/88。     

Thermal,mechanical and water adsorption properties of corn starch–carboxymethylcellulose/methylcellulose biodegradable films

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of methylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose on the thermal, mechanical and water adsorption properties of starch-based films plasticized with glycerol or polyethylene glycol (PEG). Mechanical tests showed that as the methylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose proportion increased, starch films became more resistant to break, resulting in higher TS values. Besides there has been a positive effect on the elasticity of starch films realized by a considerable increase in E% values. Depending on the plasticizer type, either single or dual glass transitions were seen in DSC thermograms. One glass transition temperature was observed for films plasticized with glycerol, on the contrary, dual glass transitions were detected for PEG plasticized films. This behavior was attributed to the phase separation of the PEG. In addition, the presence of an endothermic peak in the thermograms of PEG plasticized films was taken as another indicator of the phase separation. As a result, it was suggested that PEG was not as compatible as glycerol with the composite polysaccharide matrix and plasticizer type was the main factor that shaped the thermal profiles of the film samples. Water adsorption isotherm data showed that samples displayed nonlinear sorption profile which is typical for hydrophilic films. In all films tested, equilibrium moisture contents, increased almost linearly up to a a_w of 0.65–0.85, beyond where a sharp increase was noted. Adsorption data was adequately fitted by BET and GAB models. Eventually, it can be concluded that film forming properties of starch can be improved by incorporation of methylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose to the polymer matrix.
