Improving the Properties of Gelatin-Based Films by Incorporation of “Pitanga” Leaf Extract and Crystalline Nanocellulose

Improving the Properties of Gelatin-Based Films by Incorporation of “Pitanga” Leaf Extract and Crystalline Nanocellulose

Biopolymer-based films can be activated by the incorporation of active compounds into their matrix. Plant extracts are rich in phenolic compounds, which have antimicrobial and/or antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to produce gelatin-based active films and nanocomposite films incorpora...
