ecting the formulation to create a novel composite film that not only prevents the growth of fungi and bacteria, but also maintains mechanical strength and flexibility comparable to synthetic polyethylene film commonly used for food packaging. The composite film also effectively blocks ultraviolet light, hence slowing down the degradation of food products.
Laboratory experiments showed that the shelf life of samples packaged with chitosan-based GFSE composite films were two times longer than th
