Physicochemical and Antimicrobial Properties of Citral and Quercetin Incorporated Kafirn-Based Bioactive Films

Physicochemical and Antimicrobial Properties of Citral and Quercetin Incorporated Kafirn-Based Bioactive Films

The aim of this study was to determine the physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of kafirin-based bioactive films incorporating the plant essential oil citral and the polyphenol quercetin. The addition of quercetin and citral both imparted a yellowish colour to the films. The tensile strength...
