Thermoplastic starch/clay nanocomposites loaded with essential oil constituents as packaging for strawberries − In vivo antimicrobial synergy over Botrytis cinerea

The synergistic antimicrobial effect of essential oils constituents carvacrol and thymol loaded in nanocomposites based on thermoplastic starch/clay was evaluated in vivo over Botryits cinerea-inoculated strawberries with the aim of obtaining a potential active food packaging material.
