Nanophytosome-functionalized active packaging films for preservation of refrigerated rainbow trout.

ABSTRACT: The application of nanophytosomes in active packaging is an exciting area of research and innovation within food packaging and preservation technologies. Nanophytosomes, which are nanoscale carriers derived from plant extracts, offer several unique properties that enhance the performance of active packaging systems. In this study, nanophytosomes of Perovskia abrotanoides Kar. essential oil (PEO-NP; 10, 20, and 30 mg) and catechin (C-NP; 2.5, 5, and 10 mg) were prepared using the thin layer hydration method. As the nanophytosome concentration increased, the particle size decreased, while the encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity increased. At sufficiently high concentrations, bioactive-loaded nanophytosomes with small mean particle diameters (< 200 nm), low polydispersity ind
