Edible coatings and films provide an environmentally-conscious alternative to plastic food
packaging options. This study investigated physico-chemical, morphological and thermal …

Demand for antimicrobial packaging films is growing due to public attention to food safety.
The structures and properties of gellan gum–guar gum blend films incorporated with nisin …

Biodegradable films have been developed to tackle the problem of environmental pollution
caused by food packaging waste. However, microbial growth in these films can lead to food …

Food packaging films were prepared by using guar gum/polyvinyl alcohol (GP) as the film
matrix, 2% Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) as reinforcing filler and antimicrobial agent, and 1 …

BACKGROUND Among the natural polymers able to form edible films, starch and gelatin
(Gel) are potential sources. Corn starch is a polysaccharide widely produced around the …

As a pharmaceutical component, gum Cordia has been applied to improve crop resistance
against many diseases. A large amount of gum appears around the fruit after soaking in an …

The commercial marketability of various food packaging biofilms is limited by their poor
breathability and biodegradability. For that reason, designing materials with desirable …

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) seed juice by-product (PSP) was added as reinforcing
and antimicrobial agent to fish gelatin (FG) films as a promising eco-friendly active material …

Nowadays, instead of synthetic polymers, ecofriendly biopolymers are being widely used as
packaging materials; this minimizes packaging waste and environmental pollution. In this …

Edible films based on the addition of Aloe Vera gel (AV) into fish gelatin (FG) with
antimicrobial and functional properties for food packaging applications were proposed in …
