Preparation and characterization of ethyl cellulose film modified with capsaicin

Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

Pure ethyl cellulose film cannot extend the shelf life of food, and adding capsaicin as an antibacterial agent can inhibit the activity of microorganisms on the surface of the film. The main purpose of this work is to study the properties and specific performance of the film formed by adding capsaicin to ethyl cellulose system. Importantly, the transparent, soft, and stretchable ethyl cellulose-capsaicin composite membrane (EC-Cap) is generally easy to produce and is environmentally friendly. It is the first successful preparation by a casting method. It is worth noting that the FTIR analysis of the film shows that there may be an interaction between the phenolic hydroxyl group in Cap and the hydroxyl group in EC, which means that Cap has successfully participated in the film formation system. Therefore, the cap-containing film not only exhibits a low water absorption, when the cap is appropriate, the elongation at break of the film reaches a maximum of 61.34 % ± 1.37 %. Compared with pure EC membrane, EC-Cap membrane has greater antibacterial activity than pure EC membrane. The practical application of EC-Cap films in the protection of bell peppers has shown positive results, which makes it possible to apply these films to food packaging.
