Biopolymer Film Embedded ZnO Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Application and Fresh Fruit Preservation
View through CrossRef
In this study, we reported on the synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose biopolymer film containing ZnO nanoparticles (CMC – ZnO), oriented for antibacterial, and fruit preservation applications. The SEM and TEM image results show that the ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on the CMC biopolymer film have a spherical structure that is irregularly agglomerated with each other. The CMC - ZnO biopolymer film has been proven to effectively inhibit the growth of E. coli. At the same time, it is considered a promising application in packaging and preserving fruits and foods. As a proof of concept, we used this CMC biopolymer film containing zinc oxide for avocado preservation. The results show that its freshness could be maintained for up to 35 days.
