Today’s cyclodextrin: is a packaging/food preservation application
Where Carvacrol β-Cyclodextrin Inclusions and 1-Methylcyclopropene-α-CD Coated Paper are for post-harvest preservation of peach.
Carvacrol essential oil has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, but it is volatile and unstable for long-term storage and use. In the present study, carvacrol was encapsulated with β-cyclodextrin to improve its relevant properties.
PEG was used to form the film in the anhydrous condition, and the compound and ethylene inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) were included to obtain the film-coated paper.
This study provides a solution for preparing controlled-release coated paper with essential oils and 1-MCP bioactives to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
