Summary: The study developed a biodegradable packaging film containing cellulose nanofibers from olive tree pruning, which showed improved UV barrier, antioxidant capacity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability compared to pure PVA film. The nanocellulose films also displayed reduced water vapor permeability and oxygen barrier comparable to aluminum layer and plastic films, supporting their use as a green alternative material for food packaging.
