AMAna Rita MendesOGOtmar GeissIBIvana Bianchi

Key Points

  • To investigate the migration of ionic and nanoparticulate zinc from nanocellulose/ZnO nanoparticle films and its implications for food packaging safety.
  • Analyzing the morphology-dependent behavior of zinc in nanocellulose films
  • Using kinetic modeling to assess migration dynamics
  • Employing multi-analytic approaches for safety evaluation
  • Confirmed diffusion-controlled release of zinc from films
  • Demonstrated significant migration of zinc in certain conditions
  • Highlighted the importance of modeling for safety assessment in food packaging applications

Abstract

, while Weibull β < 1, confirmed diffusion-controlled release. These findings confirm the potential of NC/ZnO nanocomposites for food packaging applications and highlight the importance of combining multi analytics with kinetic modelling to support safety assessment.
