Effects of Allspice, Cinnamon, and Clove Bud Essential Oils in Edible Apple Films on Physical Properties and Antimicrobial Activities. Journal of Food Science. 74(7):M372-M378.Interpretive Summary: The results of the present study show that allspice, cinnamon and clove bud essential oils can be used to prepare apple-based antimicrobial edible films with good water vapor penetration and stretch strength properties for food applications by both direct contact and indirectly by vapors diffusion from the films.  Application of the antimicrobial apple films to contaminated produce and other foods merits study.

Application of the antimicrobial apple films to contaminated produce and other foods merits study.
