Enhanced Active Packaging Properties Through the Incorporation of Pomegranate Seed Oil Micro‐ and Nanoparticles

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 335-350, April 2026.
Biodegradable cassava starch films were developed incorporating micro‐ and nanoencapsulated pomegranate seed oil (PSO). The films exhibited enhanced mechanical flexibility, antioxidant activity and UV‐barrier properties. Particle size influenced the functional behaviour, highlighting lipid encapsulation as a key strategy to stabilize bioactive ...

Potential for Natural Antimicrobials, Including Mushroom Chitosan, to Control Shiga‐Toxigenic Escherichia coli in Ground Beef

open access: yesJournal of Food Safety, Volume 46, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of 11 natural agents against eight STEC serotypes by determining their MIC and MBC at different pH and temperature conditions. Five agents demonstrating the strongest inhibitory activity in vitro were then tested at various concentrations in beef burgers inoculated with Escherichia coli O157 and stored ...
