Development of ultrasonic-assisted gelatin-based biodegradable packaging film incorporated with turmeric extract for the shelf-life extension of chicken minced meat.

This study aims to develop the gelatin-based packaging film incorporated with turmeric extract to enhance the shelf life of a minced chicken. The films were subjected to functional, morphological and physicochemical characterization. The results showed that ethanolic extract of turmeric has a higher amount of turmerone and ar-turmerone along with some other bioactive compounds.
