{Abstract}: Active bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) nanopapers containing Salvia officinalis essential oil (SEO) in free form and encapsulated with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) were prepared, and their effect on the shelf life extension of shrimp was investigated. The GC-MS analysis of the SEO indicated the presence of various active compounds such as Thujone (21.53 %), Ledol (12.51 %) and Eucalyptol (11.28 %) in the essential oil composition. The cytotoxicity of the SEO and SEO-βCD complexes in the L929 cell line was quite low. FTIR analysis revealed new interactions in the nanopapers containing SEO-βCD complexes. Microscopic images showed that SEO-βCD complexation improved the surface morphology of the BNC nanopapers, whereas free SEO had a negative effect. X-ray diffraction patterns of the nanopapers showed higher crystallinity of the SEO-βCD containing nanopapers than that of the SEO-incorporated nanopapers. Moreover, the addition of the SEO-βCD complex improved the thermal properties of the BNC nanopaper. Water contact angle analysis showed higher hydrophobicity of the samples containing free SEO than that of the other samples. Both SEO-βCD and free SEO increased the elongation at break and decreased the tensile strength of the nanopaper. The prepared active films showed a greater antimicrobial effect on L. monocytogenes than on E. coli. The results showed a higher antioxidant capacity of the free SEO-containing nanopapers (58-78 %). The desirable effects of the active nanopapers on shrimp preservation were demonstrated by the results obtained for the microbial load, pH, and volatile nitrogen content of the product. The results demonstrate the potential of the prepared BNC active nanopapers for use in active antioxidant/antimicrobial food packaging.
