β-Cyclodextrin/tea saponin complex-stabilized eugenol emulsion functionalized composite films with antibacterial and sustained-release properties for fruit preservation.
Addressing the severe postharvest losses of perishable fruits and environmental concerns caused by plastic packaging, this study developed a multifunctional composite film. Specifically, a composite of β-cyclodextrin and tea saponin-a byproduct of camellia oil processing-was synthesized and served as a stabilizer for t...
