To develop molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for new food packaging material, a new active antibacterial packaging material was prepared with allyl isothiocyanate MIPs (AITC‐MIPs) and chitosan (CS) for beef preservation. AITC‐MIPs were prepared with AITC as template, β ‐CD as the functional monomer, and TDI as the cross‐linker by the non‐covalent method, and the release characteristics were evaluated under different relative humidities and temperatures. The AITC‐MIPs active packaging film was obtained by uniform coating with CS coating solution and AITC‐MIPs based on the surface of the original low‐density polyethylene packaging film, and its role in delaying muscle metamorphism was thoroughly explored. According to the N‐hexane extraction method, the AITC content in AITC‐MIPs was determined to be 73.9 μL/g. The release behaviors of AITC‐MIPs under different humidities could be obtained by fitting with Avrami's Equation. The release of AITC‐MIPs under the relative humidities of 98% and 75% is a restricted dynamic diffusion process, while the release behaviors of AITC‐MIPs under the relative humidity of 50% are between those of a diffusion process and those of a first‐order mode dynamic process. The AITC‐MIPs could endure the heat stress, and the lower temperature was conducive to the stability of the AITC‐MIPs. A series of physicochemical and microbiological indicators fully illustrated that muscle deterioration could be significantly ( P < 0.05) postponed by AITC‐MIPs active packaging film compared with the original low‐density polyethylene packaging film.
