Abstract
Foodborne pathogens continue to pose a significant threat to human health. This study aims to enhance the antimicrobial activity of low-dose silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against foodborne pathogens and use the enhanced AgNPs to preserve green grapes. A chemical delivery carrier for covalent organic frameworks (COFs) impregnated with AgNPs was developed. We investigated the bacteriostatic properties (minimum bacteriostatic concentration, bacteriostatic growth curve), the mechanism of action of the bacteriostatic agent, and the performance of the bacteriostatic film. The bacteriostatic preservation rate of the AgNPs@COFs composite on green grapes was evaluated. The minimum bacteriostatic concentration of the AgNPs@COFs composite was 10μg/mL, and the bacteriostatic rate varied between 94.01% and 98.77%. The developed antibacterial AgNPs@COFs composite has potential applications in food packaging and preservation.
