The growing trend in biodegradable and renewable materials has generated a demand for new food packaging applications. This study aimed to produce active cellulose-based papers incorporated with two different essential oil isolated active compounds, eugenol, and linalool, to promote the inhibition of pathogenic bacteria's growth. Cellulose was extracted from eucalyptus sawdust by receiving chemical and mechanical treatment and incorporating the active compounds by microwave. FTIR, SEM, TGA, DSC, and antibacterial activity against E. coli, Salmonella, S. aureus, and L. monocytogenes characterized active papers prepared by casting. Cellulose–eugenol papers showed chemical interactions by hydrogen bonding, in concern to linalool paper bands, identified by FTIR results. Highlighting that after the active compound's addition, the hydrogen energy bond values decreased from 22.5 to 22.3 kJ mol⁻¹, confirming the cellulose fibers' swelling with the oils, which slightly amorphized the papers. The active compounds changed the paper's morphology, increasing porosity and roughness, as seen in the SEM images. Besides, TGA indicated that the active compounds increased the papers' thermal resistance. The active papers exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against all the microorganisms; the cellulose–eugenol papers demonstrated a more significant antibacterial effect (24 mm), with a larger inhibition zone than linalool paper (12 mm). These results revealed that cellulose-based papers containing eugenol or linalool have good potential to prepare antimicrobial edible papers or coatings for various types of food packaging applications.

可生物降解和可再生材料的增长趋势产生了对新食品包装应用的需求。本研究旨在生产含有两种不同精油分离活性化合物丁香酚和芳樟醇的活性纤维素纸，以促进抑制病原菌的生长。通过接受化学和机械处理并通过微波掺入活性化合物，从桉树锯末中提取纤维素。FTIR、SEM、TGA、DSC 以及对大肠杆菌、沙门氏菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和单核细胞增生李斯特氏菌的抗菌活性表征了通过浇铸制备的活性纸。纤维素-丁香酚纸通过氢键显示出化学相互作用，这与芳樟醇纸带有关，由 FTIR 结果确定。强调添加活性化合物后，氢能键值从 22.5 降至 22.3 kJ mol ^-1，证实纤维素纤维被油溶胀，这使纸略微非晶化。从 SEM 图像中可以看出，活性化合物改变了纸张的形态，增加了孔隙率和粗糙度。此外，TGA 表明活性化合物增加了纸的耐热性。活性纸对所有微生物都表现出优异的抗菌活性；纤维素-丁香酚纸表现出更显着的抗菌作用（24 毫米），其抑菌圈比芳樟醇纸（12 毫米）更大。这些结果表明，含有丁香酚或芳樟醇的纤维素纸具有制备用于各种食品包装应用的抗菌可食用纸或涂层的良好潜力。
