Abstract
Centella asiatica is a medicinal herb, well known for its phytochemical activities because of the presence of terpenoids and polyphenols, which contribute to the bioactivity of herb extract that can be effectively utilized in the packaging industry. Biopolymers infused with C. asiatica extract could be a promising solution in the food sector. The antibacterial and antioxidant qualities of C. asiatica can help preserve the quality and lengthen the freshness of food products, thereby preventing food loss. Selection of a suitable extraction method is essential to retain the yield and properties of the bioactive compounds of C. asiatica extract. Many research has been conducted on the separation of C. asiatica by using conventional and novel extraction techniques and its execution in packaging as a functional component. This review provides an overview of the extraction of phytochemicals from C. asiatica and its utilization in biopolymer film as an active component to modify the packaging film characteristics.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Food Science is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that publishes research and review articles in all areas of food science. As a multidisciplinary journal, articles discussing all aspects of food science will be considered, including, but not limited to: enhancing shelf life, food deterioration, food engineering, food handling, food processing, food quality, food safety, microbiology, and nutritional research. The journal aims to provide a valuable resource for food scientists, food producers, food retailers, nutritionists, the public health sector, and relevant governmental and non-governmental agencies.
