“…However, in terms of functionality, the cellulose-based film needs to be incorporated functional properties to improve the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, which effectively prevents lipid oxidation and inhibits bacterial growth for the meat shelf-life extension (Xie et al, 2020). A combination of cellulose-based coating with natural colorants, such as bromothymol blue fixed rice straw fiber, is also effective to monitor the timely freshness of pork (Liu, Chi, et al, 2022). Other functional compounds and natural colorants, such as anthocyanin and betacyanin (Liu et al, 2023), beetroot extract (Guo et al, 2023), red radish color extract (Jang et al, 2023), curcumin , castor oil, and purple potato anthocyanin (Wang, Zhai, et al, 2022), were added to improve functionality as active or intelligent packaging.…”
