Abstract

In this study, carbon nanodot (CD)-corn starch (CS) nanocomposite films are fabricated for active food packaging applications. First, ginkgo biloba leaves (GBL) were used as a biomass-derived carbon precursor, and a facile hydrothermal method was employed to synthesise environmentally sustainable CDs. The GBL-derived carbon nanodots (gCDs) were then characterised and incorporated into a CS matrix via an extrusion process to fabricate the CS/gCD nanocomposite film. The effects of various gCD concentrations on the physicochemical and functional properties of CS/gCD composite films were systematically investigated. The gCD exhibited non-cytotoxic effect against human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco-2) cells when exposed up to 1000 μg/mL. The incorporation of gCDs into the CS film improved its mechanical properties, with the toughness of the CS/gCD^2% nanocomposite film exhibiting 198 % superiority compared to the CS film. In addition, the oxygen barrier and UV-blocking properties were significantly improved. Furthermore, the CS/gCD nanocomposite film significantly extended the shelf life of ω-3 oils owing to the superior antioxidant activity of the gCDs, exhibiting only 9 meq/kg during the 15-day storage period. Our results suggest that the developed CS/gCD active composite film is a promising candidate for environmentally sustainable solutions to enhance food shelf life and reduce food waste.
