Abstract
The active pectin-polyvinylpyrrolidone nanocomposite film incorporated with titania nanoparticles and bael shell extract was fabricated via the casting solution method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was utilized to analyze the nanocomposite films. The titanium nanoparticles were found to be uniformly dispersed throughout the matrix of the pectin-polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer, as shown by the SEM analysis. This resulted in forming a flexible nanocomposite film with a smooth surface. Films developed with a 5 or 20% addition of bael shell extract had less transparency than neat films. Bael shell extract (up to 20 w/w %) significantly improved the film’s tensile strength from 5.57 MPa of neat to 30.02 MPa for PPT/BSE20. Additionally, the pectin-polyvinylpyrrolidone/titania/bael shell extract nanocomposite films revealed excellent antioxidant activity comparable to gallic acid and significant antibacterial action against foodborne pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes. The antibacterial and antioxidant properties of the pectin-polyvinylpyrrolidone nanocomposite film, along with its better ultraviolet protection and improved mechanical properties, show much promise for active food packaging.
