摘要： Starch-based films are promising biodegradable materials for food packaging but are limited by hydrophilicity and poor functional properties. Herein, this study proposed a citral nanoemulsion (NEs)-mediated interfacial engineering strategy to construct a self-assembled Janus starch film (NE-S/M) with dual hydrophobic-active functionality for fresh-cut fruits and vegetables preservation. Specifically, starch extracted from waste rice was composited with citral NEs to form bioactive films (NE-S), which were further rapidly self-assembled with myristic acid (MA) to create a Janus hydrophobic structure. Structural characterization and molecular dynamics simulation revealed that citral NEs acted as molecular bridges to enhance the MA adsorption energy barrier, enabling MA to self-assemble into a dense hydrophobic layer via free deposition. Especially, the 10 %NE-S/M Janus film exhibited exceptional hydrophobicity (water contact angle: 118.22 degrees), UV-blocking (0 % transmittance at 200-400 nm), mechanical robustness (tensile strength enhanced by 180.75 %), and barrier properties (water vapor permeability reduced by 62.39 %). Furthermore, the Janus film synergized the outstanding antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of citral. Compared to starch film, the 10 %NE-S/M Janus film exhibited a three-fold increase in free radical scavenging capacity and notable inhibition on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Botrytis cinerea with relative inhibition rates of 98.63 %, 91.56 %, and 42.53 %, respectively. Preservation tests demonstrated that 10 %NE-S/M film significantly reduced weight loss, suppressed microbial proliferation, and delayed quality deterioration in fresh-cut kiwifruit and chili peppers throughout storage. Crucially, this rapid self-assembly strategy successfully achieved hydrophobicity and bioactive properties in starch-based film and offered a sustainable solution for active food packaging with multifunctional performance.
