Active Carboxymethylcellulose-Based Edible Films: Influence of Free and Encapsulated Curcumin on Films’ Properties

Active Carboxymethylcellulose-Based Edible Films: Influence of Free and Encapsulated Curcumin on Films’ Properties

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-based films can act as a protective barrier in food surfaces and a carrier of bioactive compounds, such as curcumin. However, incorporating curcumin in hydrophilic matrixes can be a challenge, and new strategies need to be explored. In this work, CMC-based films containi...
