“…Furthermore, the spectrum obtained for the PVA/ZMEO fiber showed a band close to 840 cm −1 related to C-H bending of the ring in the ZMEO structure that related to the antimicrobial properties of ZMEO. Ansarifar et al, (2022), Ataei et al, (2020) and Mohammadi et al, (2016) considered encapsulation of essential oil in PVA fibers via electrospinning and reported that the characteristic peaks of PVA and essential oil had no remarkable change after the process, indicating the successful encapsulation via physical interactions [ 11 , 15 , 26 ]. Moreover, Bose et al, (2019) and Lin et al, (2018) examined encapsulation of thyme essential oil in chitosan–gelatin fiber and cinnamaldehyde in zein fiber.…”

“…Zataria multiflora Boiss (avishan-e shirazi or zaatar) belongs to the family Lamiaceae, and it is a native Iranian plant with a strong aroma [ 11 ]. Ardekani et al, (2018), Lin et al, (2018), Vafania et al, (2019) and Ansarifar et al, (2022) studied the application of the nanoencapsulation of Zataria multiflora essential oil in electrospun polyvinyl alcohol as a potential wound dressing [ 12 ], in gelatin fibers as active packaging against Campylobacter jejuni in chicken [ 13 ], in chitosan–gelatin fibers in order to reduce nitrite in sausages [ 14 ], and in electrospun polyvinyl alcohol as the active packaging and preservation of strawberry fruits, respectively [ 15 ].…”

In this study, an active packaging containing Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZMEO), a powerful natural antimicrobial agent, encapsulated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber via electrospinning is presented. ZMEO was effective on pathogenic bacteria, particularly Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monosytogene), fungi and yeasts (Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans). Results showed that the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of fibers had a bead-free and uniform structure. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) revealed that ZMEO was encapsulated into PVA through a physical process, without chemical interaction between the ingredients. Strawberries treated with PVA/ZMEO significantly (p < 0.05) preserved the anthocyanin (18.64%), total phenols (12.95%), antioxidant (22.72%), soluble solids (6.44%), titratable acidity (20.88%), firmness (27.2%), and color (15.55%) compared to the control sample during 15 days of cold storage. According to these findings, electrospinning was an efficient method for encapsulating bioactive compounds. ZMEO loaded into PVA fiber delayed the physiological and biochemical changes of fruits and extended the fruit’s shelf-life. This study revealed the benefits of incorporating ZMEO into PVA fiber mats, which could lead to new possibilities for active packaging.

“…The release of bioactive compounds can be triggered by behaviors of these materials [13][14][15][16][17][18]. There are some reports about the incorporating natural compounds into electrospun nanofibers like encapsulation of ginger EO [19] and gallic acid [20] into protein electrospun nanofibers, jujube extract in PVA electrospun nanofibrous film [21] and Zenian EO in blend electrospun zein/PLA/hydroxypropylmethylcellulose nanofibers [22]. According to all these reports, the EO/electrospun nanofibers could prolong the shelf-life of food, suggesting a potential application in food active packaging.…”

Nanofiber films were prepared using a polymer blend of kafirin and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) by electrospinning. The zataria multiflora boiss. essential oil (ZEO) was encapsulated in the electrospun nanofibers and the morphology, structural characteristics, thermal, antibacterial and release properties were investigated. The concentrations of ZEO selected for addition to the polymer solution were 7, 10 and 15% (v/v). It was found that the produced electrospun nanofibers, regardless of ZEO concentration, possessed a homogeneous morphology without beads and there was a positive correlation between ZEO addition and nanofiber diameter. Moreover, the electrospun nanofibers were found to be effective carriers of ZEO and were able to control the release of compounds. The nanofibers exhibited antibacterial activity against common foodborne bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Salmonella enterica, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The fiber prepared with 15% (v/v) ZEO was the most effective against all microorganisms tested. The Fick model, was used to describe the release profiles of ZEO at different temperatures (4, 25 and 37 °C) and with different food simulants (50 % and 98 % ethanol). The findings revealed that diffusion phenomenon plays an increasingly important role in the delivery of ZEO. It is believed that the developed nanofibers have potential applications in active food packaging to reduce microbial contamination.
