“…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.…”

Packaging is a physical barrier that separates the product from the outside. It is also possible to add active agents to the packaging so that it becomes active, extending the shelf life of products. Antimicrobial active packaging uses antimicrobial agents, such as essential oils, to inhibit or delay microbial growth in food. The objective of this work is to produce active packaging made of poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate), a biodegradable polymer, that uses essential oil as an antimicrobial agent. To achieve this goal, active films were produced with concentrations of 2, 4, and 8% (w/w) of clove and cinnamon essential oils, by solution casting. In results that both oils have antimicrobial activity, The presence of the oils did not alter the degradation temperature of the studied films, and the tensile properties varied significantly. Practical applications Clove and cinnamon essential oils present proven antimicrobial activity. Thus, the use of those essential oils as PBAT additives makes it possible for the development of an active packaging that has antimicrobial properties. In turn, they can be used to package food products. Moreover, the confirmation on the ability of those oils to migrate from the packaging to the medium shows the potential to preserve fresh food, since those additives are safe for human consumption. Furthermore, the slow migration of those additives contributes to a longer food shelf life and to reduce the amount of synthetic food preservatives used in food processing, that is, reducing the amount of synthetic preservative intake by consumers.

“…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.…”

Over the past decade, there has been an increasing demand for “ready-to-cook” and “ready-to-eat” foods, encouraging food producers, food suppliers, and food scientists to package foods with minimal processing and loss of nutrients during food processing. Following the increasing trend in the customer’s demands for minimally processed foodstuffs, this underscores the importance of promising interests toward industrial applications of novel and practical approaches in food. Along with substantial progress in the emergence of “nanoscience”, which has turned into the call of the century, the efficacy of conventional packaging has faded away. Accordingly, there is a wide range of new types of packaging, including electronic packaging machines, flexible packaging, sterile packaging, metal containers, aluminum foil, and flexographic printing. Hence, it has been demonstrated that these novel approaches can economically improve food safety and quality, decrease the microbial load of foodborne pathogens, and reduce food spoilage. This review study provides a comprehensive overview of the most common chemical or natural nanocomposites used in food packaging that can extend food shelf life, safety and quality. Finally, we discuss applying materials in the production of active and intelligent food packaging nanocomposite, synthesis of nanomaterial, and their effects on human health.

“…Clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) EO has the volatile aromatic oil eugenol as its main component, which has antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, insecticidal, and antiviral properties (Silva, I. D. L. et al 2020. The presence of eugenol also increases the anti-inflammatory and the antioxidant properties of films and coating for, e.g., apples, strawberries, and ground beef (Santana et al 2021).…”

“…Clove EO was incorporated with polyethylene glycol to polyhydroxybutyrate films, and the addition of 15% w/w changed the chemical structure of the material, resulting in less energy during film processing and more flexible films (Silva, I. D. L. et al 2020). Clove EO was utilized in the formulation of cassava starch-based films in combination with montmorillonite clay and glycerol.…”

Natural additives, particularly essential oils, have gained widespread recognition for their role in enhancing the attributes of natural edible polymers. Comprising a wealth of hydrophobic and volatile compounds, essential oils exhibit notable antioxidant and antimicrobial properties owing to their rich composition of terpenes and aromatic constituents. This review underscores the multifaceted biological properties of essential oils, encompassing their incorporation into films, edible coatings, and nanoencapsulated materials. The effect of utilizing several essential oils as natural additives in combination with different raw materials and plasticizers was compared to the evaluation of their impact on the material properties of films and edible coatings, offering an in-depth analysis of the specific essential oil variants featured in the recent literature. Among the essential oils reviewed, those derived from clove, cinnamon, and oregano emerge as the predominant choices, representing some of the most promising natural additives for biodegradable packaging. Nanoencapsulation techniques have also expanded the role of essential oils in sustainable food packaging by increasing their stability.
