pH-sensitive indicator membranes, which are useful for pharmaceutical, food, and packaging applications, can be formed by encapsulating halochromic compounds within various solid supports. Accordingly, electrospinning is a versatile technique for the development of these indicators, by entrapping pH dyes within ultrafine polymer fibers.
The ultrafine zein fibers, containing 5% (w/v) anthocyanins, had an average diameter of 510 nm. The pH-sensitive membrane exhibited color changes from pink to green when exposed to acidic and alkaline buffers, respectively. The contact angle was negligible after 10 and 2 s for neat and 5% anthocyanin-loaded zein membranes, respectively.
The pH membranes exhibited color changes in a board pH range, which can potentially be used in various active packaging applications. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
pH敏感指示膜可通过将卤色化合物封装在各种固体载体中形成,在制药、食品和包装应用中很有用。因此,静电纺丝是开发这些指示剂的一种通用技术,可将pH染料截留在超细聚合物纤维中。
含有5%(w/v)花青素的玉米醇溶蛋白超细纤维平均直径为510nm。该pH敏感膜在分别暴露于酸性和碱性缓冲液时,颜色从粉红色变为绿色。纯玉米醇溶蛋白膜和负载5%花青素的玉米醇溶蛋白膜的接触角分别在10秒和2秒后可忽略不计。
该pH膜在很宽的pH范围内呈现颜色变化,有可能用于各种活性包装应用。©2017化学工业协会。
