β-Cyclodextrin-incorporated dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystal-reinforced CMC/PVA films for active packaging of strawberries.
Strawberry deterioration is accelerated by moisture imbalance, microbial contamination, and rapid metabolic activity, emphasizing the need for active packaging materials beyond passive protection. Carboxymethyl cellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol) (CMC/PVA) films were engineered with dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystals (DCNC) a...
