Enhancing Antimicrobial Properties of Food Packaging Sheets by Incorporating ZnO- Nanoparticles (NPs)
Abstract
Ali R Mulakhudair and Zahraa Reasan Kareem Shati.
Packaging sheets characteristics play very important role in food packaging industries. To enhance their antimicrobial properties, ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are added to polyvinyl chloride sheet synthesized via phase precipitation This enhancement would provide antibacterial properties and extend shelf life of the wrapped food products. The effect of increasing ZnO-NPs concentrations (i.e. 0.1- 0.4 g) on sheet properties was explored. The characteristics of the bespoke packaging sheets were investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and biomass measurements. The results show that ZnO-NPs clearly changed the sheet structural morphology and its addition gives a positive effect on the general morphology of the packaging sheet. In addition, more than 95% of biomass reduction and 5±0.7 mm inhibition zone was recorded. The results of the study have great ramifications in packaging technology through enhancing the antimicrobial properties of the wrapping sheets as well as extending shelf life of the food products.
