Cannabidiol (CBD) has been shown to have antioxidant and antibacterial effects. The investigation into CBD's potential as an antioxidant and antibacterial agent, meanwhile, is still in its initial stages. The study goals were to prepare encapsulated cannabidiol isolate (eCBDi), evaluate the effect of eCBDi edible active coatings on the physicochemical properties of strawberries, and determine whether CBD and sodium alginate coatings could be used as a postharvest treatment to promote antioxidation and antimicrobial activity and prolong the strawberry shelf life.

Films were prepared using thermal spray coating that sprayed hybrid nanocomposite suspension based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-loaded BCNCs's surface and alginate-molybdenum trioxide (MoONPs) onto PET substratum. In this study, a novel food package label characterized as HS gas sensor for meat spoilage is based on an optically transparent coated film with thickness ranging from 0.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) was produced from Gluconacetobacter xylinus in pellicle form with a large bundle of fibers were acid hydrolyzed to obtain bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNCs). The HSO acid-hydrolyzed BCNCs were evaluated for their smallest crystallite size and hydrodynamic size, highly negative ζ-potential value, and the highest specific surface area to interact with metallic nanoparticles.
