Encapsulation of Natural Bioactive Compounds by Electrospinning—Applications in Food Storage and Safety
Packaging is used to protect foods from environmental influences and microbial contamination to maintain the quality and safety of commercial food products, to avoid their spoilage and to extend their shelf life. In this respect, bioactive packaging is developing to additionally provides antibacteri...
