Design and Evaluation of a Cinnamomum burmannii Essential Oil-Loaded Preservative Film for Enhancing the Quality and Shelf Life of Squaliobarbus curriculus Filets

In this study, an edible matrix consisting of sodium alginate, gelatin, zein, and gum arabic was combined with Cinnamomum burmannii essential oil (CBEO) to produce a natural, eco- friendly, and bioactive food packaging preservation film. After the CBEO was extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry, 55 chemicals were found, with the main ingredients being α-terpineol, borneol, and cinnamon aldehyde. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform...
