This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of clove oil-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CO@CNPs) and gelatin electrospun nanofibers against Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) biofilms on cucumbers. The optimal CO@CNPs were prepared when the initial concentration of clove oil (CO)...
