Therefore, environmentally friendly and biodegradable functional materials have attracted more and more attention from researchers [2]. As one of the components of biomass energy, starch has the advantages of being green, safe, cheap, and easy to obtain. Starch‐based materials are considered to be the most promising alternatives to traditional plastics due to their easy biodegradability. However, native starch has strong hydrophilicity, poor visibility and antibacterial properties, and poor fluidity after film formation, it is necessary to add some matrix to optimize the properties of native starch after film formation. Liu et al. [3] introduced carbon dots (CDs) extracted and synthesized from pitaya and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) into corn starch (CS)‐based composite films, effectively optimizing the performance of starch‐based materials and significantly improving the food preservation ability of the films.During transportation, food spoilage is a major cause of waste as freshness is difficult to determine. Traditional packaging films can isolate water vapor, but TI - Preparation of Corn Starch‐Based Antibacterial Indicator Film Containing Red Amaranth Anthocyanins and Cellulose Nanofibril‐Emulsified Clove Essential Oil and Its Application in Monitoring the Freshness of Chicken JF - Starch DO - 10.1002/star.70058 DA - 2025-06-17 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/preparation-of-corn-starch-based-antibacterial-indicator-film-l0Vlr1H2R6 VL - Early View IS - DP - DeepDyve ER -
