Electrospraying and Nano-Enabled Edible Films for Food Preservation: Controlled Release, Antimicrobial Function, and...

Food preservation stands as the primary obstacle that needs resolution to achieve safe and quality food maintenance. The food preservation field is developing new methods through the combination of electrospraying technology and nano-enabled edible films which create advanced food preservation methods. The electrospraying process serves as a flexible method that enables manufacturers to create micro and nano-structured coatings which function as delivery systems for bioactive substances with controlled release capabilities. The mechanical strength and barrier resistance, antibacterial effectiveness, and overall performance of edible films get enhanced through the integration of nano materials and nano carriers in their production. This study analyzes the fundamental electrospraying principles and the development of nano-enabled edible films and their implementation in food preservation through controlled release and antimicrobial functions. The review examines the mechanisms of action together with biopolymer and nanomaterial components used in electrospraying and nano-enabled edible films during their implementation in different food applications. The safety and regulatory aspects of electrospraying and nano-enabled edible films are also discussed. The combination of electrospraying and nano-enabled edible films creates an innovative method that enables sustainable food preservation together with new functional packaging solutions.
