Preparation and characterization of polypropylene/sodium propionate (PP/SP) composite films for bread packaging application

Abstract: To prolong the shelf life of bread, polypropylene/sodium propionate (PP/SP) composite films were prepared via a melt‐extrusion process. To investigate the feasibility of using PP/SP composite films as a bread packaging material, their chemical structure, morphology, mechanical properties, barrier properties against water, surface properties, and antimicrobial properties were investigated. A storage test for bread was also conducted. The mechanical and thermal stability of the PP/SP composite films enhanced wit… Show more

“…These findings are in agreement with previous studies [ 56 , 57 ], which reported that water barrier properties and water vapor sorption by the package had an effect on moisture accumulation and microbial growth, playing an important role in extending bread shelf life.…”

“…The unique combination of high flexibility and low water permeability brought a substantial advantage for the PIB blend films to be used as a stretchable packaging material for flexible NGs. To demonstrate this advantage, a scatter plot was constructed to compare the modulus and water permeability of our PIB blend film to other state-of-the-art commercial or literature-reported packaging materials (Figure c). It can be clearly seen that the PIB blend film from this work resides uniquely at the lower left corner. Ecoflex, a commercial elastomer with a similar modulus, had substantially higher water permeability.…”

“…Hydrophilicity of polymeric film can be investigated by the water contact angle. As shown in Figure 7 and Table 1, a dynamic water contact angle of all films decreased with time (0-50 s) due to the chemical affinity between water and polymeric films [48]. The dynamic water contact angles of the native rice starch were slightly changed in the range of 93.9-90.9 with time.…”
