Enhancing the UV-Light Barrier, Thermal Stability, Tensile Strength, and Antimicrobial Properties of Rice Starch–Gelatin Composite Films through the Incorporation of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

The effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on the properties of rice starch–gelatin (RS–G) films were investigated. ZnONPs were synthesized by a green method utilizing Asiatic pennywort (<i>Centella asiatica</i> L.) extract. The ZnONPs were rod-shaped, with sizes ranging from 100–3...
