Pomegranate peel-derived nanocellulose and polyphenol extract for active packaging: Combined effects with γ- and low-energy X-ray irradiation in ready-to-eat ham preservation.
Pomegranate peel, an industrial by-product, was valorized as a source of polyphenols and cellulose derivatives, including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), to develop bioactive nanocomposite films. Extracts from three varieties, Bni Khaled (PPBK), Gabsi (PPG), and Ghardimaa (PPGD) were scr...
