The packaging of foods occupies a wide area of foodstuffs manufacturers’ interest. Despite the subject is branched, this paper focuses on utilizing eco-friendly food container enhanced by bio-additive of beet juice contains a natural pigment (anthocyanin) to offer radiation shielding protection. The matrix used is a bio-polymeric blend of 70% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and 30% polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) with the adding of different volumetric percentages of anthocyanin (5, 10, 15, and 20 V/V%). As all the components are naturally degradable,increasing the anthocyanin volume percentages shows improvement in the physical properties of the blend. FTIR analysis shows an interaction between the additive and the matrix due to the exchangeable proton of anthocyanin and the possibility of the interaction with the hydroxyl root of the PVA. The produced improvement and enhancement are studied through the measurement and calculation of optical properties variation. The product provides extra protection for the food from UV and visible radiation. These results were supported by the simulation of the optimized molecular structure and the representation of the electron distribution for the blend molecules, in the separated and compiled states. Additionally, the energy calculation of the neutral molecules indicates the high quality of the component compatibility.
