Effect of Chitin Nanowhisker/Polylactic Acid Nanofiber Film on the Preservation of Strawberries

Abstract:

In this manuscript,the effect of chitin nanowhisker(CNW)/polylactic acid(PLA) nanofiber film on the preservation of strawberries was investigated.The decay index,weight loss,titratable acidity content and VC content of strawberries packaged with CNW/PLA nanofiber films were determined and compared,and the results indicated that CNW/PLA nanofiber film could decrease the decay index and weight loss,and delay the decline of titratable acidity and vitamin C contents.Furthermore,CNW/PLA nanofiber film exhibited strong antisepsis preservation on the strawberries.
