Cannabidiol from L. Herbal Extract as an Bioactive Factor in Polysaccharide Coatings with Antioxidant Properties for Extended Food Quality.

In the present study, pectin films with antioxidant activity were obtained in response to the increasing demand for active packaging systems related to the need for safe finished products with a long shelf life. To obtain the films, L. herb extract was used as the active agent. The samples with the highest extract contents of 20:80 2.0F and 80:20 2.0F (PA:PC ratio + wt.% extract) were characterized by a polyphenols content of 0.9067 ± 0.0184 [%]. They also showed the highest antioxidant activity, at ABTS = 1.79 ± 0.04 [mg/mL] and DPPH = 4.44 ± 0.10 [mg/mL]. Mechanical tests conducted showed that samples without extract addition, regardless of the pectin apple to citrus ratio, were characterized by similar values of mechanical parameters ( > 0.05). Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were used to demonstrate the strength and direction of the relationship between pairs of variables. Statistical analysis showed strong correlations between antioxidant indices and polyphenol content.
