Traditional active packaging materials are easily affected by the environment, resulting in their inability to release active substances in specified quantities at specified times and locations. In this study, MCM-41 was used as a thymol (THY) carrier and added to the potato starch (PS) matrix to design an intelligent release active packaging film based on storage microenvironment. MCM-41 encapsulation improved thermal stability of THY. THY-MCM-41 addition significantly improved the tensile strength (TS, 7.18 MPa) of the film (P < 0.05) and endowed the film excellent gas and water barrier protection. THY release was responsive to temperature and relative humidity (RH), and the First-order model better explained the THY release pattern (R > 0.980). The THY-MCM-41/PS film exhibited long-term antibacterial effect during 10-day storage due to the sustained release of THY. Additionally, strawberries packaged in the THY-MCM-41/PS film exhibited the best sensory characteristics during 5-day storage (25 °C and 50 % RH). Overall, the present THY-MCM-41/PS film provides a novel alternative for the sustained release of active substances in order to achieve the excellent preservation of goods such as fruits and vegetables.
传统的活性包装材料容易受到环境的影响，导致它们无法在特定的时间和地点以特定的量释放活性物质。在这项研究中，MCM-41 被用作百里香酚（THY）的载体，并添加到马铃薯淀粉（PS）基质中，设计了一种基于储存微环境的智能释放活性包装膜。MCM-41 的包封提高了 THY 的热稳定性。THY-MCM-41 的添加显著提高了薄膜的拉伸强度（TS，7.18 MPa）（P < 0.05），并赋予薄膜优异的气体和水阻隔保护。THY 的释放对温度和相对湿度（RH）有响应，一阶模型更好地解释了 THY 的释放模式（R > 0.980）。由于 THY 的持续释放，THY-MCM-41/PS 薄膜在 10 天的储存期内表现出长期的抗菌效果。此外，在 5 天的储存期内（25°C 和 50% RH），用 THY-MCM-41/PS 薄膜包装的草莓表现出最佳的感官特性。总的来说，本研究中的 THY-MCM-41/PS 薄膜为活性物质的持续释放提供了一种新的选择，以实现对水果和蔬菜等商品的优异保存。
