Abstract

The aim of this research was to develop a novel combination of antioxidant blended film for use as biodegradable packaging in the food industry. The antioxidant film was prepared based on gelatin (G) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) incorporated with Tecoma stans (L.) Juss. ex Kunth petals extract (TKE) at various concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg∙L^‒1) via solution casting method. The structural and surface morphology of G/CMC-TKE film were characterized using FTIR spectrometry technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), including determining antioxidant activity, water solubility, water vapor permeability, and biodegradability. According to FTIR analysis, the significant interaction between the gelatin and CMC chain is associated with hydrogen bonding. Adding TKE into the blended films significantly increased their roughness, thickness and antioxidant activity while decreasing their water solubility and water vapor transmission. Likewise, the biodegradability of the films containing antioxidants exhibited greater degradation values than the pure G/CMC film, and all of the biofilms was entirely degraded (>80%) in 14 days. The G/CMC-TKE 2.0 demonstrated the best antioxidant (74.47%), biodegradable activity (95.85% in 14 days), and the lowest water solubility (61.80%) and water vapor transmission rate (3.2483 g∙m^‒2∙day^‒1), which could be a feasible candidate for the food active packaging.
