Consumers worldwide are increasingly demanding safe foods that are minimally processed and retain their quality and health properties. However, traditional plastic polymers and synthetic preservatives have harmful health effects and negative environmental impact. Therefore, the development of active food packaging materials, such as chitosan films with added essential oils, has gained attention. These films offer antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and are environmentally friendly, making them ideal for preserving perishable foods.
Worldwide, consumers are demanding safe foods that are minimally processed and retain quality and health properties. Achieving these requirements calls for the development of effective food packaging materials. The challenge is that plastic polymers and synthetic preservatives are not suitable for developing active food packaging due to their harmful health effects and negative environmental impact. In this regard, innovations in active films through adding essential oils (EOs) onto degradable and bio-based polymers such as chitosan films are gaining more attention. Novel properties such as antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and the eco-friendly nature of chitosan and EOs-based films are of great interest in preserving perishable foods. Incorporating EOs into chitosan films improves the films' physical and mechanical properties, retards the growth of foodborne pathogens, and controls the production of harmful lipid oxidation products. This active packaging technology can be commercially optimized in the global market to preserve highly perishable food products.
