Résumé
Gelatin (Gel) based water-insoluble films with antimicrobial properties were developed by the green method using trans-cinnamaldehyde (TCA) and low-energy X-ray irradiation as dual crosslinkers. The Gel/TCA composite films (GTCF) were prepared at different pH (4, 6, 8, and 10) and crosslinked by incorporating 5 % (w/w, based on Gel) TCA and X-ray irradiation (350 kV and 11.4 mA) with doses of 0, 5, 10 and 15 kGy. The presence of TCA in GTCF forms dense, flexible, and strong films when exposed to X-ray irradiation. The GTCF at pH 6, incorporated with 5 wt% TCA and irradiated with 10 kGy X-ray, displayed the highest degree of crosslinking (DOC) (93.4 ± 3.4 %), tensile strength, excellent UV-barrier (> 99.9 %), antimicrobial (inhibitory capacity of >50 %), and water vapor permeability (4.1 ± 0.6 g.mm/m2.day. kPa), and low solubility in water (0.5 ± 0.3 %), and oxygen permeability. The GTCF, crosslinked with X-ray irradiation, has multifunctional properties and strong potential in the sustainable packaging industry to augment the shelf life of food and reduce food waste. To the best of our information, this is the first and novel report investigating the effects of pH on the properties of GTCF crosslinked with X-ray.
