    Abstract:
    Exploring food packaging films simultaneously possess freshness monitoring and maintaining can effectively tackle food safety issues. Here, we constructed a chitosan/N-doped carbon dots (CS/N-CDs) film which can monitor the freshness of pork based on pH-mediated fluorescent sensing and extend the shelf life based on the antioxidant, antibacterial and UV shielding properties. The fluorescent intensity of CS/N-CDs films increased with the increase of pork pH from 5.77 to 6.84 which positively related to the change of TVB-N from 6.68 to 17.53 mg/100 g. CS/N-CDs films had a maintaining effect on pork freshness corroborated by the scavenging activity on DPPH and ABTS radicals and antibacterial efficiency and inhibition zones of S. aureus and E.coli, and the total viable count, a value, weight loss, hardness and springiness of pork. Cell viability and hemolytic activity assay proved that CS/N-CDs films was safe. A novel chitosan-based intelligent and active food packaging film was provided.
