Gelatin films were prepared from gelatin solutions (10% w/v) containing Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZMO, 2, 4, 6 and 8% w/w of gelatin). Scanning electron microscopy observations indicate that ZMO droplets were well dispersed in the film matrix. Water solubility, water swelling, water uptake, water vapor permeability, tensile strength, elongation at break and Young's modulus for gelatin films were 27 +/- 0.8%, 391 +/- 11%, 135 +/- 5%, 0.22 +/- 0.014 g mm/m(2) kPa h, 4.4 +/- 0.4 MPa, 125 +/- 7% and 8.8 +/- 0.4 MPa, respectively. Incorporation of ZMO into gelatin films caused a significant decrease in swelling and water uptake and increase in solubility and water vapor permeability, a significant decrease in tensile strength, increase in elongation at break, decrease in Young's modulus of the films, dose-dependently. Gelatin/ZMO showed UV-visible light absorbance/transmission ranging from 280 to 480 nm with maximum absorbance at 420 nm. Gelatin films exhibited very low antioxidant activity while, gelatin/ZMO films exhibited excellent antioxidant properties. The gelatin/ZMO films also exhibited excellent antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Our results suggested that the gelatin/ZMO films could be used as an active film due to its excellent antioxidant and antimicrobial properties for food packaging applications. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
