Application of in-situ casted ZnO-starch nanocomposite for packaging of strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa)

Nanomaterials have recently been used in packaging as antibacterial coatings because of their desirable antibacterial and antifungal properties. In this study, we describe the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and evaluate potato peel starch based ZnO NPs nanocomposite paper (ZnO-starc...
