Abstract:
The food packaging films with tunable multiple functionalities like sustained antibacterial activity, good light blocking and suitable water vapor permeability present significant practical implications for food preservation. Herein, metal-organic framework (MOF) based nanozyme with oxidase-like activity was constructed simply by chelating platinum ions, named as MOF-Pt. MOF-Pt was then incorporated into the chitosan (CS) film to form the CS-MOF-Pt composite film. Compared to the pure CS film, CS-MOF-Pt film possessed extra excellent antibacterial effect and light blocking abilities in addition to enhanced hydrophobicity with water contact angle from 52.19° to 80.38°. When the CS-MOF-Pt film was used to pack blueberries and cherries, the shelf life of these fruits was obviously prolonged by 4-6 days, with good appearance and minimum weight and polyphenol loss, demonstrating the suitability of the CS-MOF-Pt film for fruit preservation. This study provides a new way for constructing antibacterial food packaging film with multiple functionalities.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
