Summary
Researchers fabricated biodegradable films from mandarin peel waste — combining extracted cellulose and pectin with poly(vinyl alcohol) via a mild sodium carbonate pretreatment — and found the resulting material had strong mechanical properties and excellent UV-blocking performance suitable for sustainable food packaging.
We have developed multifunctional, biodegradable plastic films composed of mandarin peel byproducts and poly(vinyl alcohol) through a mild Na 2 CO 3 -mediated pretreatment process.
