Abstract

Sodium carbonate is an abundant, low-cost, and low-hazard raw material widely used as a food additive and CO(2) absorbent in the food industry. However, its application in food packaging is limited because it is used in solid form, either in sachets or as a compounding ingredient in plastics. Solid sodium carbonate requires an external moisture supply for CO(2) absorption, with its performance dependent on moisture availability. This limitation hinders its commercialization in food packaging applications. We developed a sodium carbonate-based, self-reactive CO(2) absorbent hydrogel incorporating polyacrylic acid sodium salt (PAAS). This sodium carbonate hydrogel (SCH-PAAS) exhibits self-reactivity, eliminating the need for external moisture, and demonstrates a high CO(2) absorption capacity. PAAS incorporation facilitates the formation of a porous structure during gel solidification through reactions with CO(2). Increased PAAS content accelerates CO(2) absorption rates, particularly under low-temperature conditions (10 °C and 25 °C). Notably, absorption was faster at 10 °C than at 25 °C. The proposed SCH-PAAS exhibits a significantly enhanced absorption performance at low temperatures compared to conventional sodium carbonate-based materials, which exhibit reduced efficiency under such conditions. The increased gas-liquid contact area in SCH-PAAS makes it highly suitable for fresh food packaging applications, particularly under low temperatures.
