“…The antimicrobial activity could be due to the presence of bioactive compounds in EOs such as rosemanol, epirosmanol, and rosmarinic acid in ginger oil (GO), limonene in clove essential oil, and sterols, active ester derivatives, and triterpenoids in neem essential oil (NEO), which act as antimicrobial agents [77,104,105]. However, the compound responsible for this activity in some essential oils is not clear.…”

“…For example, the antibacterial activity of pullulan-based film having rockrose (Cistus ladanifer) essential oil (REO) against Gram-positive bacteria was higher than that against Gram-negative bacteria [106]. Similarly, chitosan film with added Citrus limonia essential oil (CLEO) did not present any antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacterium) but its antibacterial activity was observed against S. aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) [105]. It was found that Gram-positive bacteria have a cell envelope that is functionally and structurally less complex than that of Gram-negative bacteria, which have molecules on their membranes that act as a barrier to decrease hydrophobic compound formation.…”

Essential oils, consisting of volatile compounds, are derived from various plant parts and possess antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Certain essential oils are utilized for medicinal purposes and can serve as natural preservatives in food products, replacing synthetic ones. This review describes how essential oils can promote the performance of bioactive films and preserve food through their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Further, this article emphasizes the antibacterial efficacy of essential oil composite films for food preservation and analyzes their manufacturing processes. These films could be an attractive delivery strategy for improving phenolic stability in foods and the shelf-life of consumable food items. Moreover, this article presents an overview of current knowledge of the extraction of essential oils, their effects on bioactive films and food preservation, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of using them to preserve food products.

Dry facial skin can be caused by several factors including age, sun exposure, weather, genetics, skin structure, diet, environmental factors, and skin diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using traditional Moringa leaf masks for dry facial skin care. This type of research is experimental research with quasi-experimental methods. The research sample consisted of 6 samples using the purposive sampling method. The type of data used is primary data. Data analysis used the normality test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing (ANOVA), followed by the Duncan test. Analysis of normality and homogeneity of the data is used to test prerequisite analysis before testing the hypothesis. The results showed that in the control group (X0) without the use of traditional moringa leaf masks, there was no change in the level of skin moisture and the level of smoothness of facial skin texture. In the experimental group X1 and X2 using a traditional leaf mask showed a significant change in the level of moisture and smoothness of facial skin texture. There are differences in the effect of treating dry faces on women aged 35-45 years using traditional masks from Moringa leaves in three different treatments for indicators of moisture and facial skin texture with a significance of 0.016 <0.050.

For many years, chitosan has been widely regarded as a promising eco-friendly polymer thanks to its renewability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and ease of modification, giving it enormous potential for future development. As a cationic polysaccharide, chitosan exhibits specific physicochemical, biological, and mechanical properties that depend on factors such as its molecular weight and degree of deacetylation. Recently, there has been renewed interest surrounding chitosan derivatives and chitosan-based nanocomposites. This heightened attention is driven by the pursuit of enhancing efficiency and expanding the spectrum of chitosan applications. Chitosan’s adaptability and unique properties make it a game-changer, promising significant contributions to industries ranging from healthcare to environmental remediation. This review presents an up-to-date overview of chitosan production sources and extraction methods, focusing on chitosan’s physicochemical properties, including molecular weight, degree of deacetylation and solubility, as well as its antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities. In addition, we highlight the advantages of chitosan derivatives and biopolymer modification methods, with recent advances in the preparation of chitosan-based nanocomposites. Finally, the versatile applications of chitosan, whether in its native state, derived or incorporated into nanocomposites in various fields, such as the food industry, agriculture, the cosmetics industry, the pharmaceutical industry, medicine, and wastewater treatment, were discussed.
