摘要

This study develops novel antimicrobial camellia oil composite films based on konjac glucomannan (KGM) and κ-carrageenan (KC) incorporated with a curcumin (CUR)-loaded camellia oil nanoemulsion to address food packaging safety and sustainability. The composite solutions and films were systematically characterized. The results demonstrate that the integration of KGM significantly enhanced the rheological characteristics of the composite solution, while also improving the hydrophilicity of the resulting composite film. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that 0.4% KGM elevated the maximum thermal degradation temperature to 250.23 °C, significantly enhancing thermal stability. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses further demonstrated that KGM and KC established a stabilizing network structure through hydrogen bonding interactions. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that KGM concentrations between 0.1% and 0.3% promoted uniform emulsion droplet dispersion and a smooth film surface. It is noteworthy that when the concentration of KGM was 0.1%, the composite film showed a zone of inhibition of 4.64 mm against Escherichia coli and 4.67 mm for Staphylococcus aureus, which were significantly larger than those of other formulations. In summary, this research presents a theoretical framework designed to enhance the development of high-performance, multifunctional antimicrobial packaging materials, with the objective of fostering sustainable food practices.
