title: Development of nanochitosan‐based active packaging films containing free and nanoliposome caraway (<i>Carum carvi</i>. L) seed extract
abstract: The biocompatible active films were prepared based on nanochitosan (NCh) containing free and nanoliposome caraway seed extract (NLCE). The produced films were characterized by physico-mechanical, barrier, structural, color, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. The average particle size of NLCE was 78-122 nm, and the encapsulation efficiency (EE%) was obtained 49.87%-73.07%. Nanoliposomes with the lowest size and the highest encapsulation efficiency were merged with the film samples. NCh/CE
