Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) films with high transparency, UV-barrier, antioxidant, and
antimicrobial properties were prepared using oregano essential oil (OEO) and cinnamon …

The applications of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films are still hampered due to great affinity to
water, poor mechanical strength and lack of biological properties. To overcome these …

Pickering emulsions were prepared by stabilizing thymus vulgaris essential oil (TEVO) with
cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which formed composite films by loading the emulsions into …

The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of increasing the antimicrobial and
antioxidant properties of biodegradable active films stabilized via Pickering emulsions. The …

The effects of nano-ZnO and nano-SiO 2 on the properties of PVA/xylan composite films
were investigated in this work. Results showed that nano-ZnO and nano-SiO 2 could …

There is a tremendous increase in the development of alternative food packaging materials
which are functional, environment-friendly, and can improve the shelf-life of food products …

The growth and reproduction of microorganisms can cause food spoilage in the process of
food transportation and storage. Active packaging is a good way to inhibit food spoilage and …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been widely applied in industries for its low cost, nontoxicity,
biodegradability, and renewable advantages. However, its unstable structure may not meet …

In this study, sustainable water-based films were produced via the solvent-casting method.
Petroleum-free-based polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carbohydrate-based inulin (INL) were …

Highly flexible composite films based on bacterial cellulose, glycerol and polyvinyl alcohol
(PVOH) with UV barrier properties were developed. The open nanoscale network of …
