Polylactic acid (PLA) and jackfruit waste, particularly jackfruit skin powder (JSP), are promising alternatives to produce active bionanocomposite films. The films were characterized by mechanical, thermal, and antimicrobial properties. The presence of nanocellulose (NC) had more remarkable impacts...
