Abstract A novel biodegradable protein-based material (UMSPIE) that consists of natural polymer soy protein isolate (SPI), ultrasonic-modified montmorillonite (UMMT), and ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) was produced by solution casting. Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the chemical structure and micro-morphologies of as-synthesized protein-based composite films. The results showed that the interlayer structure of MMT was destroyed by ultrasonic treatment, and the hydrogen bonding between SPI chains and the ultrasound-treated MMT plates was enhanced. The synergistic effect of UMMT and EGDE on SPI molecules made the network structure of the UMSPIE film denser. In addition, the mechanical and barrier properties of the as-synthesized films were explored. Compared with pure soy protein film, the tensile strength of the UMSPIE film has an increase of 266.82% (increasing from 4.4 to 16.14 MPa). From the above, the modified strategy of layered silicates filling combining crosslinking agents is considered as an effective method to improve the functional properties of bio-based polymer composites.

Mechanical, physical, and barrier properties of films obtained from soy protein isolate solutions at different pH were studied and correlated with the structural properties and the microstructure of films. Films obtained at pH 2 and 11, which had denser microstructures and a higher amount of disulfide bonds, showed a higher tensile strength — of about 1.05 MPa — and a higher Young's modulus — of at least 0.15MPa — than the one at pH 8. However, films formed at alkaline pH (8 and 11) exhibited a higher deformation than films at pH 2 — by about 70%. The presence of at least a protein fraction in native state allowed macromolecules to unfold during the mechanical test, reaching greater deformation before breaking. Acidic films exhibited higher water vapor permeability — of about 7 × 10-11 g/m s Pa — and water content — of about 1.5% — and a lower glass transition temperature — of at least 15 °C — than basic ones, due to their higher hydrophilic nature.

AbstractAntimicrobial films were prepared by incorporating nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2) modified by silane into soy protein isolate (SPI) films. The effects of different concentrations of modified nano-TiO2 (TiO2-NM) on the physical properties, antimicrobial properties, and microstructure of the SPI-based films were investigated. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicated that the interaction between the SPI and TiO2-NM was via hydrogen bonds. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy both showed that the microstructure of SPI-based films with TiO2-NM was compact. Moreover, as the content of TiO2-NM increased from 0 to 1.5 g/100 mL, the water vapor permeability and oxygen permeability were decreased from 5.43 to 4.62 g· mm/m2d· kPa and 0.470 to 0.110 g· cm−2· d−1, respectively. An increase from 6.67 MPa to 14.56 MPa in tensile strength and a decrease from 36.53% to 27.62% in elongation at break indicate the optimal mechanical properties of all groups. TiO2-NM films had excellent UV barrier properties, with a whiter surface with increasing TiO2-NM content. In addition, the SPI-based films with TiO2-NM showed antimicrobial activity, as evidenced by an inhibitory zone increasing from 0 to 27.34 mm. Therefore, TiO2-NM can be used as an antimicrobial agent in packaging films.

Gas-selective permeability of films obtained from soy protein isolate (SPI) solutions at pH 12 was discussed. The modification treatments (ultrasonic, microwave and ultrasonic/microwave assisted treatment) was carried out to regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide barrier properties of SPI films, further control gas-selective permeability of SPI films in this work. In addition, all films obtained were flexible and transparent. Gas-selective permeability coefficients of SPI film was from 0.39 to 1.25, as indicated that gas-selective permeability of SPI film could be regulated according to the actual needs of food systems.

The influence of temperature on oxygen and water vapour permeation in cast soy protein isolate (SPI) films was investigated at the range of 10–40° C at 50% relative humidity. At tested temperatures, the SPI films exhibited transmission rate values of 22.48–150.90 g m−2day−1and 5.67–67.48 cm3m−2day−1for water vapour and O2, respectively. The results indicated that the relationship between temperature and the oxygen/water vapour transmission rate of the SPI films followed an exponential grow curve [y=A*exp(x/B) + C]. Furthermore, the activation energy (Ea) value of the O2permeation process was calculated by fitting the Arrhenius model to the experimental data.
