The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the release of the enzymatically initiated production of hexanal from double emulsion electrospun bio-active membranes at a temperature of fruit storage. Among different formulations of water-in-oil (W1/O) primary emulsions, the emulsion composed of 12% w/v Tween20 and 0.1 M NaCl in water (W1) and 6% of poly(glycerol) poly(ricinoleate) dissolved in sunflower oil (O) using W1/O ratio of 80/20 (w/w) (Tween20-NaCl/6% PGPR) was selected, for further incorporation of enzymes, based on the lowest average droplet size (391.

In this paper, we focus on the preparation of electrospun composite nanofibrous materials based on (poly)-phenol-polysaccharide formulation. The prepared composite nanofibres are ideally suited as a controlled drug delivery system, especially for local treatment of different wounds, owing to their high surface and volume porosity and small fibre diameter. To evaluate the formulations, catechin and resveratrol were used as antioxidants.
