Fabrication, physico-chemical characterization, and bioactivity evaluation of chitosan-linalool composite nano-matrix as innovative controlled release delivery system for food preservation

Somenath Das et al.

Summary: This study encapsulated linalool into chitosan nanocomposite to develop a controlled release delivery system with protective effects against fungal infestation, AFB1 contamination, and lipid peroxidation in stored rice. The nanocomposite displayed controlled release of linalool with antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic activities, improved antioxidant potential, and reduced lipid peroxidation. The findings suggest the potential application of chitosan-linalool nanocomposite as an environmentally friendly preservative in food and agricultural industries.
