T
he films based on methylcellulose with biodegradable and antioxidant activity incorporated with nano capsule suspension
containing F. angulata essential oil were developed. Oil extraction and identification of F. angulata essential oil compounds was
done. Nano capsule suspension containing F. angulata essential oil was prepared by ultrasonic bath. The films were prepared by a
casting method in three different ratios. The mechanical properties, colour, light transmission, antioxidant activity and release rate
characteristics of the films were studied. The addition of nano capsule suspension to methylcellulose films decreased the thickness,
tensile strength but increased the percentage elongation at break (%E) and lightness. High antioxidant activity and a prolonged
release of F. angulata essential oil were also reported. Five factors design of Response Surface Methodology were used to optimize the
thickness, holding time and anti-oxidant effect of edible film based on methylcellulose incorporated with nano capsule suspension
containing F. angulata essential oil. Design of experiments was carried out by the software: Minitab 17 (Sigma package). Optimization
of thickness, 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging and holding time would yield the best mixture proportions of
methylcellulose and nano capsule suspension 30%, 30% and 70%; oil.
