ABSTRACT
This work aimed to develop and characterize a colorimetric indicator films based on chitosan (CS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and shikonin (SKN) from radix Lithospermi by casting method. The prepared films can serve as smart packaging for monitoring shrimp freshness which having excellent antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. The shikonin containing films have better hydrophobicity, barrier properties, and tensile strength. The release kinetics analysis shows that the loading amount causes a prolonged release of SKN from the prepared films. Increasing SKN in the CS/PVA film from 1 wt% to 2 wt% improved antibacterial effect for 24 h. Additionally, pH-sensitive color shifts from reddish (pH 2) to purple-bluish (pH 13) were visually seen in shikonin based solutions as well as films. The CS/PVA/SKN film detected shrimp deterioration at three temperatures (25, -20, and 4 °C) through color change. This study introduces a favorable approach for smart packaging in the food industry using multifunctional films.
