Development of active PHB/PEG antimicrobial films incorporating clove essential oil

Abstract: In this work were developed and evaluated new antimicrobial films of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) additivated with polyethyleneglycol (PEG) and clove essential oil (CEO). The PHB/PEG/CEO films were prepared using the solution casting technique. The CEO concentrations varied between 0.0 and 15% (w/w), related to the total mass (1.4 g), without considering the solvent used. The CG-MS analysis showed that the major component of the CEO was eugenol (72.96%). The antimicrobial activity from the CEO was evaluated again… Show more

“…Silva et al (2020), while studying antimicrobial films made from PHB/PEG incorporated with clove essential oil, obtained, by GC–MS, an eugenol composition of 73%, which is the same as found in this study. The authors confirmed, by the elevated eugenol concentrations, the oil’s potentiality for being used as an antimicrobial agent against a number of pathogens.…”

“…In research, PHA-based film incorporated with clove essential oil was prepared for active food packaging purposes. No microbial growth was reported on the film surface [139]. Migration is a key issue in food packaging since monomers or additives employed in PHA preparation might conceivably migrate into the food matrix.…”
