Background
The food package plays an important role in protecting food, and the shelf life of the food can be prolonged and the waste and loss of the food can be reduced through reasonable package. The breathability of food packaging materials has a great influence on the quality of the food during storage. In the fresh-keeping of fresh fruits and vegetables, the packaging material can play an important role in adjusting the atmosphere composition inside the package. Fruits and vegetables are used as special food, and after being harvested, the fruits and vegetables still carry out life activities, carry out physiological metabolism depending on gas supply of a storage environment, absorb oxygen from the external environment, and carry out oxidative decomposition on organic substrates under the action of enzymes through respiration to maintain life activities, so that the quality of the fruits and vegetables is reduced, and the storage life is shortened. The spontaneous modified atmosphere packaging means that in the storage process, the gas components in the packaging are completely regulated through the selective permeability of the film to gas and the respiration of fruits and vegetables without any manual operation, finally the dynamic balance is achieved, the stable and proper atmosphere in the packaging is maintained, the physiological metabolism of the fruits and vegetables can be effectively inhibited, the senescence is delayed, the operation is convenient and fast, the preservation effect is obvious, and the flavor and the nutrient substances are greatly reserved while the shelf life is prolonged.
The current common packaging materials on the market are polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and the like, the selective permeability of the packaging materials to carbon dioxide and oxygen is not high, and the permeability ratio of the carbon dioxide to the oxygen is about (3-6): 1, the packaging material can be used for packaging fresh fruits and vegetables but cannot meet the requirements of ideal modified atmosphere packaging materials, the atmosphere in the packaging cannot reach the ideal modified atmosphere level of the fruits and vegetables, alcoholism and other phenomena caused by anaerobic respiration are easily caused, and the quality reduction of the fruits and vegetables is accelerated. The research shows that the permeation ratio of the fresh fruit and vegetable packaging film material to carbon dioxide and oxygen is (8-10): preferably 1. For some fruit and vegetable products with higher respiratory strength, the packaging material is required to have higher carbon dioxide and oxygen permeability ratio. In addition, due to exhaustion of petroleum resources and increasing environmental pollution, biodegradable packaging film materials become the focus of research and development at home and abroad and the development trend in the future. The biodegradable material with superior performance is selected and used for packaging fresh food, thereby meeting the dietary pursuit of safety, nutrition and health of people and simultaneously conforming to the green environmental protection concept.

In conclusion, the PBAT film has the function of gas selective permeation, and the permeability of the PBAT film to oxygen and carbon dioxide can be regulated and controlled. By utilizing the selective permeability of the film to gas molecules such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and the like, the ideal microenvironment of low oxygen and high carbon dioxide atmosphere can be maintained or quickly established in the fruit and vegetable package, the respiration of the fruit and vegetable can be effectively inhibited, and the better fresh-keeping effect can be achieved.
Specifically, when the permeability and the selective permeability of the fruit and vegetable packaging material are proper and oxygen in the package cannot meet the breathing requirement, a certain amount of oxygen enters the package through the film to supplement the breathing consumption under the promotion of concentration difference and the control of the permeability of the film. Meanwhile, carbon dioxide generated by respiratory metabolism can be discharged through the film in time, and a microenvironment combining proper humidity with low oxygen and high carbon dioxide in the package is maintained, so that the effect of modified atmosphere preservation is achieved.
