Cover Story: The global production of synthetic plastics from petroleum-based raw ingredients exceeds 150 million metric tons. The environment is threatened by tons of plastic waste, thus endangering wildlife and the public’s health. These threats have increased the interest in biodegradable polymers as potential substitutes for traditional packaging materials. This study aimed to produce and characterize k-carrageenan films incorporating Cymbopogon winterianus essential oil. The results showed the reduction in biofilms of Listeria monocytogenes when they were formed directly on the k-carrageenan films. The produced k-carrageenan films were transparent and slightly hydrophobic. View this paper
