Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.The engineered g‐C3N4/TiO2@PVA active packaging film efficiently degrades exogenous ethylene under LED irradiation, effectively suppressing the endogenous ripening pathway of “Wushan” plums. Combined with enhanced barrier properties, this multifunctional film significantly delays the climacteric respiration peak and extends fruit shelf life.
