Key Findings
- Researchers at the University of Kashmir developed bionanocomposite films with rosemary essential oil (REO) for food packaging
- The films became more water-resistant, stronger, and more flexible with REO
- The films showed improved antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, protecting food from spoilage
