Development of a PLA/PBAT/pomelo peel-based antibacterial and antioxidant multilayer film for fresh raspberry preservation

Globally, large amounts of fruit peel waste from food processing remain underutilized. Therefore, in this study, an active packaging layer was manufactured from discarded pomelo peels using a simple, one-step thermocompression process. This active packaging layer (PPF) was then f...

Flexible Edible Materials from Extrusion-Plasticized Modified Cassava Starches with Maltol and Ethyl Maltol: Molecular Interactions, Mechanical Properties, and Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities

This study systematically investigated how cassava starch modification chemistry and hydroxypropyl substitution level influence the structure and functional performance of extrusion-plasticized edible materials containing maltol or ethyl maltol. Native starch, acetylated starch,...
