Smart food polymer layers
Valíková, Michaela ; Kovalčík, Adriána (referee) ; Veselá, Mária (advisor)
Smart packaging represents a group of packaging with great potential when used in the food industry. Active packaging can have a positive effect on the condition of stored food and smart packaging can inform consumers about the condition of stored food. In the theoretical part, a search was made on the topic of packaging in the food industry, with emphasis on active and intelligent packaging, including the legislative framework. The substances from which smart packaging is made have been described. In the experimental part, partially water¬insoluble polymer layers were prepared from gelatin, glycerol, crosslinking agent and anthocyanin extract. Glutaraldehyde or tannic acid was used as a crosslinking agent. Anthocyanins were obtained by extraction from red cabbage. The total concentration of anthocyanins in the extract was determined by the difference method. For prepared layers, their water solubility was measured and the colour response to the pH environment was evaluated spectrophotometrically. The stability of the layers over time was also monitored. It was found that the prepared layers are able respond to changes in pH.
