Abstract

Novel carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) films with liquid products of pyrolysis (LPP) from wood pine were produced. The obtained CMC-LPP films were plasticized with 5% glycerol. CMC-LPP films were a light brown colour with a characteristic smoky scent, and showed a higher oxygen permeability when compared to control film without the addition of the LPP. CMC-LPP exhibited high antioxidant activity (5 and 18 times higher than CMC films). Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of the CMC-LPP films was tested, showing a strong inhibiting growth effect on the seven tested human pathogenic bacteria. The new material had the most substantial bacteriostatic effect on Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Introduction of LPP to plasticised CMC produces an eco-friendly material with biocidal effect and favourable mechanical and structural properties, which shows its potential for possible use in many industries.
