Acting as a natural reducing agent, thymol facilitated ZnO synthesis within the NaCas-CMC matrix. The film prepared with 300 mg zinc nitrate and 100 mg thymol essential oil had a low swelling rate due to in situ ZnO formation, which regulated the microstructure and enhanced hydrophobicity. The ZnO-infused NaCas-CMC biocomposite films exhibited enhanced UV shielding and water resistance, attributed to the uniform dispersion of ZnO particles and their synergistic interaction with thymol. Antibacterial assays demonstrated strong inhibitory effects against key foodborne pathogens, including<em>Listeria monocytogenes</em> (<em>L. monocytogenes</em>) and <em>Escherichia coli</em> K-12 (<em>E. coli</em> K-12). When applied to cheddar cheese, the films significantly suppressed microbial growth and effectively prevented external contamination, maintaining product safety over 20 days of refrigerated storage. Overall, this research highlights the potential of a green synthesis approach to develop multifunctional packaging films that enhance food safety while supporting sustainable practices, offering a promising alternative to conventional food packaging materials.

As the major component of horse chestnut seeds, starch is considered as a cheap and sustainable carbohydrate source in comparison to other conventional sources.

Horse chestnut starch has high amylose content (33.1 %) renders it a promising source of resistant and low digestible starch. The structural characteristics of horse chestnut starch differs from other common starches, influencing its swelling power, solubility, transparency, freeze-thaw stability, pasting, gelatinization and retrogradation. However, Horse chestnut starch exhibits distinctive structural profile with high short chains, which correlates with its pasting viscosity. To increase its versatility and applicability, horse chestnut starch has been modified by physical, chemical and enzymatic treatments.

Due to the worldwide enforcement of antibiotic restriction policies, oligosaccharides (Olig) have garnered increased attention as novel green feed supplements.

The prevalent functional Olig comprise COS, MOS, fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), and xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), among others. Functional MOS and COS serve as a superior functional feed base, acting as nutritional fiber and prebiotics to enhance the diet, optimize gut microecology, and provide anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering effects.
