• Whey Protein Concentrate Edible Film Activated with Cinnamon Essential Oil (2014, background): “Such films have numerous advantages over plastic packaging films (Srinivasa and Tharanathan 2007; Broumand et al. 2011; Ahmad et al. 2012).”
• Green composites: A review of processing technologies and recent applications (2018, background): “The issues related to non-biodegradability of plastics were discussed by Srinivasa and Tharanathan.(52) They also classified biopolymers and proposed chitin/ chitosan-based materials to be used as biopolymers.”
• Postharvest Biology and Technology for Preserving Fruit Quality (2010, background): “Moreover, chitosan shows antifungal and antibacterial properties, which are believed to originate from its polycationic nature, although the precise mechanism of its antimicrobial activity is still unknown (Srinivasa and Tharanathan, 2007).”
