The aim of this study was to develop the composite films with antioxidant and biodegradable activity based on egg white protein (EWP) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Water susceptibility, light transmittance, microstructure and antioxidant properties of the composite films without and with EGCG were fully characterized. It was noted that the addition of EGCG might decrease the moisture content, water solubility and swelling capacity. SEM micrographs revealed that discontinuous blocks and rough surfaces were caused by increasing concentration of EGCG, whereas compact and homogeneous particles appeared when the concentration of EGCG reached to 80 μmol/L. Moreover, the biodegradability of the composite films was demonstrated by the soil degradation properties that they can be almost completely degraded within ten days. Experimental results on the application in chilled fresh pork showed that the EWP-based films could play an antioxidant role when incorporated with EGCG, indicating their great potential for food packaging.
