This study was conducted to develop antimicrobial coatings to decontaminate and prevent cross-contamination of shell eggs. Egg shells were inoculated with nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella enterica Enteritidis strains OB030832, OB040159, and C405 and treated with antimicrobial coatings. Polylactic acid served as a nonedible polymer, and chitosan served as an edible polymer carrier of natural ...

Abstract In order to promote the development and application of environment-friendly plastics, a glass fiber-modified starch/polylactic acid composite was prepared by melt extrusion method. The influence fiber content on mechanical thermal properties studied, multi-objective optimization injection molding process carried out with consideration material properties. results show that increase fro...

The current research determines the most recent developments in natural fibres reinforced polylactic acid composites. Polylactic (PLA) is derived from renewable resources and capable of degrading microorganisms, eliminating pollution caused by petrochemical-based plastic. PLA promising biodegradable material among polymers since it easily attacked bacteria decomposes easily, releasing H2O, CO2,...
