Bioactive compounds found in essential oils (EOs), which are obtained by distilling certain plants, have been shown to inhibit pathogenic microorganisms and also support the growth of probiotic bacteria. In this context, EO nutraceuticals have properties that can improve the shelf life and sensory properties of products.

ABSTRACT Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) and polylactic acid (PLA)‐based nanocomposite films were developed as active packaging materials for stored rice. The composition and synergistic effect of the active formulations (AF‐1 and AF‐2), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and glycerol (Gly) as independent variables were tested to reach the ...

Abstract The atmosphere may constitute the Earth's largest microbial ecosystem, yet it remains the least understood. While microorganisms can persist and may even thrive in the polyextremes of the Earth's atmosphere, it is still unknown whether the atmosphere sustains an active microbial community.
