Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan Films Containing Lychee (<i>Litchi chinensis</i> Sonn.) Pericarp Powder and Their Application as Active Food Packaging
In this study, lychee (<i>Litchi chinensis</i> Sonn.) pericarp powder was added to chitosan (CHS) matrix to develop active packaging films, and their structure, physicochemical, antibacterial, antioxidant, and functional properties were investigated. FT-IR results showed that intermolecu...
