Characterization of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as antimicrobial biocomposite film: a review

Packaging is a critical process in the food industry because it is used to prevent spoilage, extend shelf-life, and provide an attractive presentation of the food product. Plastic packaging is used all over the world, and its production is increasing year after year. It comes in a variety of colours...
