Electrospun eugenol-loaded gelatin nanofibers as bioactive packaging materials to preserve quality characteristics of beef

In this study, electrospinning technique was employed to fabricate eugenol loaded gelatin nanofibers (ELGNs) by using gelatin as an active material to encapsulate eugenol. The results indicated that eugenol could be successfully encapsulated within nanofibers, as verified by SEM, FTIR, and zeta pote...

Description
Summary:In this study, electrospinning technique was employed to fabricate eugenol loaded gelatin nanofibers (ELGNs) by using gelatin as an active material to encapsulate eugenol. The results indicated that eugenol could be successfully encapsulated within nanofibers, as verified by SEM, FTIR, and zeta potential analyses. The average zeta potential value of ELGNs was determined to be − 15.08 mV. The average diameter of gelatin nanofibers was enlarged with eugenol encapsulation, increasing to diameter of 125 nm. ELGNs had a smooth and uniform fiber morphology observed by SEM. The ELGNs demonstrated a potent antibacterial activity by significant (P
