Abstract

To address the insufficient antibacterial properties and structural instability of polysaccharide-based aerogels in meat preservation, a ZIF-8-functionalized composite aerogel was developed.Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) encapsulated quercetin to construct pH-responsive nanoparticles Qu@ZIF-8.Methyltrimethoxysilane crosslinked cellulose nanofibers and sodium alginate, forming water-stable aerogel with excellent water absorption capacity.Qu@ZIF-8 was incorporated into the aerogel at varying mass fractions (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%).Results showed that the composite aerogel with 1% Qu@ZIF-8 addition exhibited the best overall performance.The composite aerogel achieved 78.92% free radical scavenging rate and exhibited pH-responsive antibacterial activity, showing over 65% higher inhibition rates against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at pH 5.0 than at neutral conditions.The aerogel pad could absorb the juice exuded from pork and trigger the release of zinc ions and quercetin, effectively inhibiting microbial growth, fat oxidation, and protein degradation.Consequently, the aerogel delayed the increase in pH, total bacterial count, and total volatile basic nitrogen, extending the shelf life of pork from 4 days to 10 days at 4 ℃.The integration of controlled-release capability of ZIF-8 and structural advantages of aerogels provides new insights for the development of intelligent responsive active packaging materials.
