Selenium nanoparticles–enhanced potato starch film for active food packaging application
Summary This work developed an active selenium nanoparticles‐based potato starch film. The incorporation of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) improved the microstructure, physical and biological properties of the nanocomposite film. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed a slight increase in surface roughness and heterogeneity of nanocomposite film ...
