Developing biomass-based food packaging materials could alleviate resource scarcity and environmental pollution. Here, this study successfully fabricated cellulose nanofibrils-based packaging films synergistically reinforced by lignin and tea polyphenols for fruit preservation. Thanks to the abundant carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in modified lignin and tea polyphenol, the composite film delivered the highest tensile strength and Young’s modulus of 230.7 MPa and 11.9 GPa, respectively. The water vapor permeability (WVP) and oxygen permeability (OP) of composite film were as low as 2.53 × 10^–11 gm^–1 s^–1 Pa^–1 and 1.69 × 10^–16 cm m^–2 s–1 Pa^–1, respectively, demonstrating excellent barrier performance. Furthermore, the composite film possessed remarkable antibacterial (100 % antibacterial activity against two types of bacteria), antioxidant (DPPH free radical scavenging activity of 90 %), and UV shielding properties (impressive UV shielding rate of 99.0 %). Strawberry preservation experiments showed that these composite films could significantly extend shelf life, owing to the excellent barrier and antimicrobial properties. Our research indicated that these composite films could be promising food packaging material compared with traditional plastic and showed great application potential in fruit preservation.
