Facile in situ synthesis of ZnO-infused caseinate/carboxymethyl cellulose films with antibacterial properties for cheddar cheese packaging

This study presents a green, one-step approach for the in situ synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) particles within a sodium caseinate (NaCas) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) matrix, with functionality enhanced by thymol essential oil. Acting as a natural reducing agent, thymol facilitated ZnO synthesis...
