Abstract

Active plasticized banana flour nanocomposite film (APBNF) incorporated with a different garlic essential oil (GO) content was formed using a solution casting to determine the film properties prior to the investigation of its effectiveness to preserve the roasted peanut quality. The GO concentration was positively correlated with the ultraviolet (UV) light barrier property and antioxidant activity indicating the ability to protect the packed food product from lipid oxidation. Additionally, incorporation of 1 mg/mL GO into APBNF showed the highest antioxidant activity and completely inhibited the growth of Aspergillus flavus. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the functional group interactions between the film matrix and GO which act as an antioxidant and antimicrobial agent. Thus, APBNF incorporated with 1 mg/mL GO as an active packaging to preserve the quality of roasted peanuts was investigated comparing with a commercial plastic packaging of polyethylene terephthalate/low-density polyethylene (PET/LDPE; PET). The shelf life estimation of roasted peanuts packed in both packaging materials (APBNF and PET) based on the peroxide value (PV) was similar at high storage temperature (45 °C). Therefore, APBNF shows a multifunctional primary food packaging to maintain the quality of roasted peanuts or oily food products.
