Adding ZnONPs with active phenol compounds from extracted pomegranate peel(PPE) to chitosan films can provide safe edible films, decrease microbial growth and consequently prolong the shelf life of pomegranates, as well as improve the physiochemical stability of the pomegranate. The substances used in this experiment were film with a (A) extract of pomegranate peels (PPE), 5% (0.1%), (B)ZnONPs 1% (0.02%), (C) ZnONPs 2% (0.04%), (D) ZnONPs 3% (0.06%), (E) ZnONPs 1%\/PPE1% (0.02%), (F) ZnONPs 2%\/PPE2% (0.04%), (G) ZnONPs 3%\/PPE3% (0.06%) wt% of chitosan on quality attributes and prolonging the shelf life of pomegranates were stored in plastic containers at 2 \u00b0C and 90\u201395% relative humidity for 20 days. The treatments of (G) ZnONPs 3%\/PPE3% (0.06%) loaded on chitosan as well as chitosan and (D) ZnONPs 3% (0.06%) reduced the weight loss, had excellent microbial count until 20 days of storage, and recorded the lowest microbial count and mould &amp; yeast colonies. Other chemical properties, such as total soluble solids content, acidity, anthocyanin content, firmness, and ascorbic acid, were investigated. Results indicated that ZnONPs 3%\/PPE3% (0.06%) loaded on chitosan or ZnONPs 3% (0.06%) are the best treatments for preserving pomegranate arils. It was found that the best measurements were that the film-forming nan emulsion solutions decreased by E% 110 nm and B% 134 nm. Nano followed treatment, F% 188.7 nm, compared to nano edible films, which were A 0% 1312 nm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma16041569","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,14]],"date-time":"2023-02-14T01:41:06Z","timestamp":1676338866000},"page":"1569","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Nano Edible Coatings and Films Combined with Zinc Oxide and Pomegranate Peel Active Phenol Compounds Has Been to Extend the Shelf Life of Minimally Processed Pomegranates"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Hosam Aboul","family":"Anean","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Engineering and Packaging Department, Food Technology Research Institute (FTRI), Agriculture Research Center (ARC), Giza 12619, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.
