Application of green pomelo peel essential oil-based carboxymethylcellulose coatings reinforced with nano chitosan and nano cellulose fibers during the drying process on dried silkworms.

ABSTRACT: The application of edible coatings to dried products such as silkworms (Bombyx mori) is an innovative method for preserving nutrients during drying process. These coatings are made from safe, natural ingredients such as carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), nano cellulose fibre (NCF), nano chitosan (N-Ch), and varying concentrations of green pomelo peel essential oil (GPO). The results revealed that the addition of GPO into coating/film significantly changed the pH, viscosity, and TSS values of the coating solutions while reducing film weight loss, particularly in the CCG3 film (61.93%). CCG3 also showed the strongest antibacterial effect against "Staphylococcus aureus" and maintained lower silkworm moisture content compared to other samples. Metabolic analysis revealed that certain compounds, suc
