Effects of Carbon Dots/PVA Film Combined with Radio Frequency Treatment on Storage Quality of Fried Meatballs

The combination of carbon dots/polyvinyl alcohol (CDs/PVA) active film and radio frequency (RF) was performed to improve the storage quality of fried meatball samples. The microbicidal effect of RF, and the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of CDs/PVA film were investigated. The CDs/PVA film...

description The combination of carbon dots/polyvinyl alcohol (CDs/PVA) active film and radio frequency (RF) was performed to improve the storage quality of fried meatball samples. The microbicidal effect of RF, and the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of CDs/PVA film were investigated. The CDs/PVA film can effectively restrain the growth of <i>B. subtilis</i>, <i>S. aureus</i>, and <i>E. coli</i>, and eliminate DPPH and ABTS free radicals. RF exerts inhibitory effects on <i>C. albicans</i>, <i>B. subtilis</i>, and <i>E. coli</i>. For meatball samples, CDs/PVA+RF20 can extend the refrigerated shelf life from 2 w to 6 w. At the sixth week, the total bacterial count (TBC) in CDs/PVA+RF20 group (3.72 log CFU/g) was remarkably lower than those in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) group (7.78 log CFU/g) and CDs/PVA (6.41 log CFU/g) group. CDs/PVA+RF20 can also inhibit the increase in TBARS and POV values. The results manifest the feasibility of CDs/PVA+RF as a novel mild pasteurization or preservation technology.
