Essential Oil-Containing Polysaccharide-Based Edible Films and Coatings for Food Security Applications

This research explores using natural materials like polysaccharides (complex sugars) and essential oils to create edible food packaging that helps keep food fresh longer and safer to eat. The packaging works by slowly releasing natural antimicrobial compounds that prevent bacterial growth while providing a protective barrier. Impacts on everyday life: – Longer lasting fresh foods with less spoilage and waste – Safer food with natural preservatives instead of artificial chemicals – More environmentally friendly packaging that can be eaten or biodegrades – Potential cost savings from reduced food waste – Better protection of food during storage and transport
