This manuscript evaluates the potential application of active nanocomposite films based on soy protein isolate (SPI)-montmorillonite (MMT)-clove essential oil (CEO) to the preservation of muscle fillets of bluefin tuna ...

The use of nanomaterials, including metallic as active fillers in polymeric nanocomposites for food packaging has been extensively investigated. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), in particular, have been exploited for technological ...

Nowadays, the use of polymer films for flexible packaging has gained a widespread importance because of their easy processing, good final properties, light weight and low relative cost. In order to fulfill the needs of ...

Background: Curcumin is an important phenolic compound extracted from turmeric rhizomes (Curcuma longa Linn.) and is widely used as a natural food dye. This natural pigment has several beneficial health effects, such as ...

In this work, the scCO(2)-assisted incorporation of thymol in LDPE nanocomposites with different concentrations of an organo-modified montmorillonite (OM-MMT) nanoclay is proposed as the preparation method of an antimicrobial ...

Polymers are one of the main materials of choice in food packaging applications because of their performance, cost effectiveness, and durability. Recently, changes in consumer concerns about sustainability and environmental ...

The use of plastic packaging in the food market is usually effective in terms of protective barrier exchanges with the environment, microbial challenge and possible blows during transportation. However, their non-biodegradability ...
