β-Cyclodextrin/Nerolidol Inclusion Complex as a Potential Ecofriendly Antifungal System against Botrytis cinerea in Postharvest Strawberries

Abstract β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) encapsulation may offer a strategic approach to overcome the high volatility of nerolidol (NE) for controlling Botrytis cinerea decay in postharvest strawberries. In this study, a β-cyclodextrin/nerolidol inclusion complex (β-CD/NE) was prepared by...

From Agro‐Industrial Waste to Functional Packaging Using Antimicrobial and Mechanically Reinforced Starch Foams With Melon Seed and Rosemary

ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based packaging has promoted starch‐based materials; however, low mechanical strength and limited functionality restrict their application. Expanded starch foams were developed from agro‐industrial by‐products by combi...
