This research investigates active packaging films made from PVA and nanocellulose fibers, incorporating silver nanoparticles synthesized from Terminalia chebula extract to inhibit microbes and extend strawberry shelf life.
This research investigates active packaging films made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nanocellulose fibers (NFC), incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from Terminalia chebula extract, which possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties. The developed films were tested for their mechanical properties, microbial inhibition, and biodegradability. The results showed that the addition of AgNPs from Terminalia chebula enhanced product protection and effectively extended the shelf life of strawberries while being environmentally friendly.
Objective
To study the effects of extraction methods for silver nanoparticles from Terminalia chebula for the development of active packaging.
