The levan/pullulan/chitosan edible films, enriched with ε-polylysine, as an antimicrobial agent, were successfully fabricated by the casting method, and their applicability for food packaging was systematically evaluated by several analytical techniques. An increase in the levan/pullulan ratios (ranged from 0:6 to 3:3) in the films showed a decreas...

Biopolymer-based films are natural, renewable, nontoxic and biodegradable alternatives to plastic packaging. Despite years of ongoing research, biopolymer films still lag much behind plastic films in mechanical and barrier properties. In this study, guar gum (GG) based films were prepared to evaluate the potential of some novel applications in enha...

Antimicrobial films based on polylactic acid (PLA) were developed by incorporating Thymus vulgaris essential oil (TV-EOs) with different concentrations of ethanolic extract of Mediterranean propolis (EEP) (5 wt% and 10 wt% based on PLA). The antimicrobial activities of EEP were performed by the agar disc diffusion method. The EEP exhibited high ant...

Salvia Mirzaiani essential oil (SMEO) was extracted using hydrodistillation and its GC-MS analysis identified 54 compounds. SMEO nanoemulsion (SMEO-NE) was produced using ultrasound. Then, gum-based films extracted from Cordia dichotoma containing SMEO-NE were prepared at concentrations of 0 (control), 1, 1.5 and 2% (v/v). Addition of SMEO-NE incre...

Antifungal bioplastic films were developed based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blends as PLA60/PBAT40 (PLA/PBAT) and PBAT60/PLA40 (PBAT/PLA) with incorporated trans-cinnamaldehyde using cast-extrusion. Trans-cinnamaldehyde was more compatible in PLA which exhibited plasticization that increased molecu...

Chitin nanocrystals (ChNC) were isolated from shrimp shells powder using acid hydrolysis and ammonium persulfate methods. Multifunctional carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) composite films were prepared by adding ChNC and grapefruit seed extract (GSE), and their effects on the optical, mechanical, water vapor barrier, and antibacterial properties of CMC...

Edible films are manufactured from natural, renewable, nontoxic, and biodegradable polymers and are safe alternatives to plastic food packaging. Despite ongoing research, biopolymer-based edible films still are not at a quality to ensure total commercial replacement of synthetic packaging materials. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of so...

Miswak (Salvadora persica L.) root extract (SPE) is known for its high antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. In this study, antimicrobial nanocomposites were prepared based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), cellulose nano-fiber (CNF) and SPE. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used distribution of CNF in CMC matrix and energy-dispersive X-r...
