Cover Story: The overuse of nonrenewable resources has driven research on green, degradable feedstocks like cellulose derivatives, including nanoforms. Incorporating nanoparticles into bio-based polymers adds reinforcement, while active compounds create packaging that extends the shelf-life of perishable foods. Chitosan/sage essential oil (SEO) bionanocomposites with nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC) were tested for poultry meat preservation. Meat wrapped in these films showed slower microbial growth and reduced fat oxidation compared to unwrapped samples. Chitosan’s antimicrobial capacity and CNC’s oxygen barrier played a major role. SEO added little antimicrobial benefit, with CNC delaying SEO migration to meat. Overall, the tested bionanocomposites extended poultry shelf life. View this paper
