    Bioactive composite films were developed utilizing a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and jackfruit waste powder (JK PW) matrix, functionalized with either ginger (JK PW–GEO) or clove essential oil (JK PW–CEO). Structural characterization indicated that the essential oils were chemically anchored to the polymer matrix via intermolecular hydrogen bonding, facilitating the formation of a cohesive micro-composite architecture. These chemical interactions significantly enhanced thermal stability; notably, JK PW–GEO films exhibited superior thermal resistance (limiting mass loss to 9 % within the 180–260 °C range) compared to JK PW–CEO films (∼14 % loss). This stability is attributed to the robust retention of non-volatile gingerols within the hydrogen-bonded network, as confirmed by HS-GC–MS/MS analysis. Regarding functional bioactivity, distinct performance profiles were observed: JK PW–CEO films demonstrated exceptional antioxidant capacity (334.75 mg GAE/g; 90.62 % DPPH radical scavenging), whereas JK PW–GEO films exhibited broader antimicrobial efficacy, particularly against resistant bacterial strains such as Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella enterica . In practical application trials, both film formulations effectively extended the shelf life of bread and fresh poultry by mitigating microbial proliferation and suppressing spoilage odors. Sensory evaluation confirmed that the films maintained desirable olfactory profiles, thereby enhancing the perceived quality of the packaged products. Collectively, this study establishes that JK PW-based composites offer a sustainable avenue for active packaging, wherein ginger oil provides superior thermal and antimicrobial stability, while clove oil delivers potent antioxidant protection.

    Leafy shoots of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum Linn.) were exposed to the vapor of either dilute acetic acid (AA) or of upland rice vinegar (URV) – both solutions were diluted to contain 4% of acetic acid – for 10 min and stored at 12°C. The sweet basil exposure to AA had a 16% increase in shelf life and those exposures to URV 35% increase compare to the control. There were no significant differences in fresh weight loss during storage between the AA and URV but both had significantly lower fresh weight losses than the control. The chlorophyll content of both AA and URV were significantly higher than the control. The radical scavenging was significantly higher in the URV than in the AA and the control. The electrolyte leakage was both significantly lower in the URV than in the AA and the control. The occurrence of lipid peroxidation was similar in both the AA and URV, and both were significantly lower than in the control. These results indicate URV has potential as an effective way of raising quality and extending postharvest storage of sweet basil shoots.

    Fresh leaves of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) were exposed to ambient upland rice vinegar (URV) vapor containing 4% acetic acid (AA) for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 min, before packing in polyethylene bags and storing at 12°C. This extended the postharvest storage life of sweet basil by retaining greenness, freshness, and antioxidants. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) results showed a number of other volatiles in URV vapor, including ethyl acetate, propane, pentanal, and acetic acid.
