Physico-chemical properties of edible starch-based films with herbal extracts: cistus and white mulberry and their application as active sachets for oily products.
The aim of the work was to prepare films based on potato thermoplastic starch (TPS) with herbal leaf extracts: from cistus (Cistus incanus L.- C) and white mulberry (Morus alba L.- M). The influence of the extracts on physico-chemical and bioactive properties of the films obtained via casting method was tested and compared. Starch gelatinization in the presence of the herbal infusion (5, 10 and 20% in the gelatinizing media) led to better mechanical and barrier (towards moisture, oxygen and UV) properties of the final TPS films. The modified films exhibited high antioxidative (DPPH scavenging up to 90%) and antifungal (against C. albicans) properties. Peroxide value determination based on UV-Vis spectrophotometric method for linseed oil and butter revealed that extract-enriched TPS sachets effectively inhibited lipid oxidation during storage. Such materials can be used as a biodegradable, edible vegan alternative to conventional petrochemical materials, serving as functional packaging materials for food.
The growing accumulation of plastic packaging waste and the underutilization of agricultural residues have encouraged the development of biopolymer-based edible films. This study aimed to produce an edible film from avocado seed starch and dragon fruit peel pectin with the addition of red ginger essential oil as a pote...

In the context of sustainable development, biodegradable edible films have emerged as potential alternatives to conventional petroleum-based packaging materials. From this perspective, zein which is a class of prolamin protein found exclusively in corn, is generally recognized as safe and displays considerable potent...

This study focuses on the development of starch-based edible films enriched with mulberry (Morus alba) bioactive compounds and their evaluation in terms of physicochemical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Potato starch was selected as the primary film-forming polymer because of its biodegradability and stron...

In this study, a novel intelligent colorimetric pH-indicating film was developed using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/cassava starch (CS) as the matrix incorporated with black wolfberry anthocyanins (BWA) and tea polyphenols (TP), and its potential for cherry preservation and visual freshness indication was evaluated. T...

To develop active packaging materials for postharvest preservation of fresh fruits, a novel zein-pullulan (Pul)-sodium alginate (SA) composite film loaded with Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil (tea tree oil, TTO) was prepared using a tape-casting technique. At a zein solution-to-Pul/SA solution mass ratio of 1:2.5,...

Traditional plastic fats are rich in saturated and trans fatty acids, which can lead to chronic diseases. In contrast, camellia oil and litchi seed polyphenols are valuable natural functional ingredients. This work aimed to construct stable camellia oil oleogels using citrus pectin as the gel-forming component, lecithi...
