Preparation, characterization, and antimicrobial activity of chitosan/gum arabic/polyethylene glycol composite films incorporated with black pepper essential oil and ginger essential oil as potential packaging and wound dressing materials

Biogenic Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Potential Evaluation of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Against Escherichia coli

“…It contains gingerol, shogaol, curcumin and paradol as important phytochemicals [ 3 ]. Antimicrobial activity against a wide range of microbes has been manifested by aqueous extracts of ginger, owing to its phenolic contents of therapeutic nature [ 4 ]. Allium sativum commonly known as garlic contains phenolic compounds exhibiting a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity even against MDR bacteria [ 5 ].…”

“…Bactericidal activity 1 (3 mL:1), 2 (6 mL:1), 3 (12 mL:1),4 Ciprofloxacin,5 DIWConclusionsBactericidal potential of CuO NPs doped with Zingiber officinale and Allium sativum extracts against pathogenic E. coli was evaluated in this study, produced with the aim of alternate, economical and effective antimicrobials. The significant role of phytochemical ingredients of ZO and AS extracts was revealed in the biogenic synthesis of CuO NPs while synergistic effects of flavonoids with CuO were found to be concentration-dependent exploiting the bactericidal potential against pathogenic E. coli.…”

The effects of methylcellulose coating containing carvacrol or menthol on the physicochemical, mechanical, and antimicrobial activity of polyethylene films

“…These researchers said that the difference in the performance of different compounds was due to differences in the polarity of added compounds. Another study also reported that the addition of black pepper and ginger essential oils to composite films increased tensile strength and reduced flexibility of film (Amalraj et al, 2020). In general, the heat-sealing capability of a material is important for its use in the food packaging industry.…”

“…This interference causes changes in the permeability of H + and K + and causes the destruction of basic functions and cell death (Ultee et al, 2002). A gradual release of active molecules into food packaged in active packaging allows these active ingredients to always be available and exert their antimicrobial activity effect in the long run (Amalraj et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2018). Olasupo et al, (2003) sensitive to carvacrol than E. coli.…”

Silver Decorated Bacterial Cellulose Nanocomposites as Antimicrobial Food Packaging Materials

“…To date, the potential of different antimicrobials such as bacteriocins, enzymes, organic acids, and different vegetable oils has been explored for imparting antibacterial activity to the packaging materials for providing protection to the food against the invading microorganisms, thus preventing their spoilage and increasing the shelf-life. [25][26][27][28] However, the wide range of use of such materials in packaging applications has been limited by their high cost. To this end, the utilization of nanomaterials could be an alternative approach considering their low cost and high antimicrobial activities.…”
