Abstract The issue of plastic pollution has attracted widespread social attention. Gelatin is valued as a degradable bio-based
material, especially as an edible active packaging material. However, the commonly used solution-casting filmforming technology limits the mass production of gelatin films. In order to improve the production efficiency
and enhance the commercial value of gelatin films, in this study, fish gelatin (FG) particles were successfully
blended with essential oils (EOs) to prepare active films by melt extrusion technique, a common method for commercial plastics, and applied to bread preservation. FG and EOs showed good compatibility with each… More >
