Lockdown has been installed due to the fast spread of COVID-19, and several challenges have occurred. Active packaging was considered a sustainable option for mitigating risks food systems during COVID-19. Biopolymeric-based active incorporating release compounds with antimicrobial antioxidant activity represents an innovative solution increasing shelf life maintaining quality transportation fr...

Active packaging films based on chitosan/gelatin were prepared using a solution casting method by adding various essential oils (lime, tea tree, rosemary, and thyme oils), their effects compared. The fabricated characterized physical properties as well the antioxidant performance of studied. Adding to polysaccharide/protein biopolymer mixtures resulted in compatible with high transparency (>...

Gelatin-based multifunctional composite films were prepared by reinforcing various amounts of copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuSNP, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt %), the effect CuSNP on film was evaluated analyzing its physical antibacterial properties. makes a compatible with gelatin. The inclusion significantly enhanced UV blocking, mechanical strength, water vapor barrier properties gelatin film....
