Abstract: This work aimed to incorporate thyme essential oil into films composed of pectin to provide antimicrobial action to them. The effect of adding essential oil on the films' mechanical, physical-chemical, and barrier properties and their degradability was evaluated. Essential oil addition was possible by using Tween ® 20 as an emulsifier, and it was possible to observe antimicrobial activity in the films containing 1.0 wt.% and 2.0 wt.% essential oil. The films containing thyme essential oil were more elastic and… Show more
