TL;DR: In this article, active films from chitosan containing Eucalyptus globulus (EG) essential oil (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4% (v/v)) were developed by casting and solvent-evaporation method.
Abstract: In this work active films from chitosan containing Eucalyptus globulus (EG) essential oil (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4% (v/v)) were developed by casting and solvent-evaporation method. Then, the physical properties, the total phenolic content, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of different films were assessed, to define if the chitosan films incorporated with EG essential oil could be used as natural active films for food use. The antioxidant activity was determined with three different analytical assays (DPPH, NO and H2O2). The agar disc diffusion method was used to determine the antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis. In fact, incorporating EG essential oil into chitosan-based films significantly decreases moisture content and water-solubility. These results can be explained by the films microstructure, which was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The antioxidant properties proved to be significantly enhanced with increasing EG essential oil concentration. The microbiological assessment confirmed antimicrobial efficiency of chitosan films EG containing essential oil. The mentioned results proved the potential of this original material which could be used as active films due to its excellent antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
