Preparation, Characterization and Anti-Bacterial Activity of Zinc
Oxide-Gelatin Nanocomposite Film for Food Packaging Applications
Gelatin based composite films were prepared using various crosslinking agents for possible application in the
food packaging industry. In the presentstudy, gelatin films were formed by the incorporation of zinc oxide (ZnO)
nanoparticles. The ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a wet chemical method using zinc nitrate as precursor
and starch as stabilizing agent. It was characterized by FTIR. Surface morphology and thermal studies were
performed by SEM and TGA respectively. The average particle size was calculated from the X-ray diffraction
