The aim of this study was to develop a crosslinked, polysaccharide-based
biodegradable active packaging material incorporating encapsulated essential
oils (EOs). The research was conducted in multiple phases to achieve this
objective. Initially, a systematic experimental design was established based on
mathematical modelling to formulate film compositions in which the
concentrations of individual components were optimally balanced.
Subsequently, films were prepared using EOs both individually and in
combination, and were subjected to comprehensive physical, chemical,
mechanical, optical, and microbiological analyses. The results revealed that
the films exhibited high antioxidant activity at both 4 °C and 25 °C, low water
vapour permeability, and a high degree of crosslinking (~99%), indicating
excellent resistance to moisture. Antibacterial activity was noted against
gram-negative bacteria, and moderate tensile and elastic properties were
achieved through controlled polymer–crosslinker ratios.
