Abstract

The aim of this research was to produce modified starch film modified with Chromium (II) oxide (CrO) nanoparticles, gum Arabic (GA) and lycopene pigment (MS/CrO/GA/Lyc). The central composite design was used to study the physical, mechanical, morphological, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the films. The results showed that with the increase of GA, lycopene and CrO, the thickness of the film increased. The moisture content and solubility of the film decreased with the increase of lycopene and increased with the increase of GA and CrO. By increasing GA and lycopene, the antioxidant activity of the film increased and water vapor permeability decreased significantly. The results of the mechanical test showed that with the increase of CrO and lycopene, the tensile strength decreased and the elongation at the breaking point increased significantly. The addition of GA to the starch layer increased the tensile strength and decreased the elongation at break. The results of antimicrobial activity showed that the addition of CrO and lycopene nanoparticles caused the antimicrobial activity of the film against Staphylococcus aureus. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that GA and lycopene were physically combined with starch polymer, and crystalline CrO nanoparticle peaks were visible in the composite film. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results confirmed the physical presence of CrO nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the surface morphology of nanocomposite films was more heterogeneous than pure modified starch. Lycopene and nanoparticles were able to delay the thermal decomposition of starch and increase the thermal stability of the starch film. The modified starch film containing lycopene changed its color from red to yellow and colorless in the presence of nitrite salts, so this film was able to measure nitrite as a kit. In general, it can be concluded that MS/CrO/GA/Lyc films can be used in active food packaging and as nitrite indicator kit.
