Electrospun core-shell nanofibers loaded with antimicrobial compounds.
| Antimicrobial | Nanofiber Material | Technique of Fabrication | Antimicrobial Release Performance | Antimicrobial Action | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange EO | Zein prolamine | Coaxial electrospinning | Higher retention of EO in the film as increasing the amount of zein prolamine | Antimicrobial activity in vitro against Escherichia coli | [163] |
| Curcumin | poly(vinyl alcohol) - chitosan | Coaxial electrospinning | Extended release of curcumin from the material | Inhibition of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis growth in vitro | [164] |
| Phytoncide | poly(vinyl alcohol) | Emulsion electrospinning | Sustained release of phytoncide from the film over 14 days | Reduction of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in vitro | [165] |
| Cinnamon | Polyvinylpyrrolidone | Emulsion electrospinning | ND | Antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans in vitro | [166] |
| Thymol | Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) | Coaxial electrospinning | ND | Reduction of microbial growth and increase the shelf life of strawberries packaged in the active material | [167] |
| Eugenol | Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (core) and shellac (shell) | Coaxial electrospinning | Slower release of thymol from the film | Extension of shelf life of strawberries packaged with the active fibrous film | [168] |
