Development of a Chitosan/Cellulose Nanocrystal-Stabilized Pickering Emulsion Film Containing Pomelo Peel Essential Oil and Cinnamaldehyde for Strawberry Preservation
To develop eco-friendly active packaging for food spoilage control, a Pickering emulsion (PPOEs) was prepared by co-encapsulating pomelo peel essential oil (PPO) and cinnamaldehyde (CIN) (1:1, v/v) using chitosan (CS) and carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (C-CNCs) as composite stabilizers. Among the oil-to-water rati...
