Nanoemulsion-based basil seed gum edible film containing resveratrol and clove essential oil: In vitro antioxidant properties and its effect on oxidative stability and sensory characteristic of camel meat during refrigeration storage

Abstract

The initial purpose of this study was to compare the in vitro antioxidant interactions between resveratrol (RES) and clove essential oil (CEO) in conventional and nanoemulsion-based basil seed gum (BSG) films. Then, the effects of the best nanoemulsion-based BSG film obtained from in vitro evaluations were determined on oxidative stability and sensory properties of minced camel meat during 20-day storage at 4 °C. The results showed higher in vitro antioxidant activities of nanoemulsion-based BSG films compared to conventional films as well as synergistic effects between RES and CEO. Furthermore, minced camel meat wrapped with nanoemulsion-based BSG film containing RES 4 μg/mL + CEO 10 mg/mL showed better results compared with the control group with the following scores: total carbonyls (0.84 nmol/mg protein), peroxide value (4.03 meq/kg lipid), thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (1.03 mg malondialdehyde/kg), and sensory analysis (overall acceptability: 5.4). The finding of the present study can be applied as a new method in meat and meat products packaging industry.
