Fabrication of flexible chitosan film reinforced with pulping by-product lignosulfonates for cherry-tomato preservation

The massive production of food waste and plastic pollution necessitates innovative solutions. This study reports the first fabrication of a flexible chitosan (CH) film reinforced with lignosulfonate (LS) derived from pulping byproduct as a sustainable alternative to synthetic food packaging. The CH/...
