Abstract
Active packaging materials are generally prepared by incorporating antimicrobial agents. The main objective of the present research is the development and characterization of active packaging with Nano chitosan and pectin. Active packaging film was prepared by incorporating essential oil of Fennel (EOF) along with potato peel extract (PPE) to improve the antioxidant and antimicrobial property of the film. Incorporation of EOF into Nano chitosan and pectin-based films increased antimicrobial activity, whereas; PPE increased the antioxidant property of the films. In the present study, thickness, optical property, mechanical property, antioxidant and antimicrobial property, total soluble matter, morphological study, FTIR analysis, and microbial degradation study of the prepared active packaging material was done. The addition of the PPE and EOF together improved the surface, optical, mechanical, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of the packaging film. Enhanced antimicrobial and antioxidant property of the Nano chitosan-PPE-PVA-EOF and pectin-PPE-PVA-EOF-based packaging films can extend the shelf life of the packed food; hence it is suggested for the active packaging for perishable food commodity. In short, the prepared active packaging film with biodegradable property is suggested as an effective packaging material to replace synthetic plastic packages for food and hence reduce plastic pollution.
