In this present study, the thermodynamic and thermal properties of glycerol and nisin-incorporated gum ghatti (GG, )-based films were determined. The films exhibited type III isotherm behaviors. Moisture content (MC) of films was increased with increasing water activity () and decreased with higher temperature. The incorporation of glycerol and nisin increased the sorption ability of GG films. The net isosteric heat of adsorption () and differential entropy () were decreased with increasing MC, showing an exponential negative correlation between them. Spreading pressure () was increased with increasing , but decreased with higher temperature. This incorporation of glycerol and nisin increased the , and of the GG films. The sorption behaviors were enthalpy-driven and non-spontaneous processes. The glass transition temperature (), critical MC and of the films were decreased, and increased respectively with the incorporation of glycerol and nisin. This work provides a theoretical basis for the application of edible films in fresh food preservation.

Aquatic products are highly susceptible to spoilage, and preparing composite edible film with essential oil is an effective solution. In this study, composite edible films were prepared using perilla essential oil (PEO)-glycerol monolaurate emulsions incorporated with chitosan and nisin, and the film formulation was optimized by response surface methodology. These films were applied to ready-to-eat fish balls and evaluated over a period of 12 days.

Biodegradable films based on polymers from renewable resources have become a feasible technology to preserve the quality (texture, color, flavor) and safety of food. The addition of antimicrobial agents to films can prevent the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that affect meat and poultry products. In this study, a biodegradable film with sodium alginate (SA), taro starch (MS), and nisin (Nis) was optimized to have high tensile strength (TS), breaking force (BF), and a low water vapor permeability (WVP) using a Box-Behnken response surface design, and its antimicrobial effect was evaluated in relation to its use as a packaging material for chicken meat.
