“…Among the biopolymeric film‐forming materials, soy protein isolate (SPI) has received much attention as one of the most attractive alternatives to synthetic polymers due to its high mechanical strength, good transparency, biocompatibility, and biodegradability (Tang et al., 2019 ; Xiao et al., 2021 ). The SPI has been used for the fabrication of active films by incorporation of various biologically active substances such as oils (Binsi et al., 2013 ; Bohórquez‐Ayala et al., 2021 ; Chen et al., 2020 ; Giannakas et al., 2021 ; Ma et al., 2015 ; Sultan et al., 2022 ), plant extracts (Almasi et al., 2016 ; Aziz & Almasi, 2018 ; Haghju et al., 2016 ; Hiremani et al., 2022 ; Homayounpour et al., 2021 ), and EOs (Alinaqi et al., 2021 ; Gasti et al., 2022 ; Sadadekar et al., 2022 ; Sharma et al., 2022 ; Zhang, He, et al., 2022 ; Zhang, Jiang, et al., 2022 ).…”
