Preparation and characterization of cellulose acetate/corn silk extract films for potential antimicrobial application

Abstract
Corn silk, a significant by-product obtained after corn processing, is dumped as agricultural waste. Combining natural compounds with biodegradable materials has recently increased demand due to their multiple uses. In this study, cellulose acetate films incorporated with 1.25, 2.5, and 5% of the polar extracts, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol of corn silk were prepared. The extracts' total flavonoid...
