Abstract

Chitosan-gum arabic-based polyelectrolyte complexed films with cinnamon essential oil (CEO) and clove essential oil (CLO) were developed. The effect of EO concentrations, types and their combinations on the physical, thermal and antimicrobial properties of films were investigated. The results showed that the incorporation of EOs decreased the ζ-potential and viscosity, but increased the particle size of film-forming dispersions. Films incorporated with CEO and combined EOs exhibited better water barrier properties compared to those with CLO and single EO. Films containing CEO showed lower EO loss and higher thermal stability compared to those containing CLO, and the reason was attributed to the stronger interactions between chitosan, gum arabic and CEO. The combination of EOs resulted in higher retention and delayed release rate in food stimulant, resulting in stronger antimicrobial activities. The performance of films with the CEO and the combined EOs brought new formulation ideas in antimicrobial films.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
