Thermal degradation was found as <15 % until 300 degrees C while the nanofiber diffraction pattern presented three main peaks among the 5(o) and 45(o) positions. ZEnF was not only evaluated as non-toxic to cells but also possessed anticancer characteristics revealing with the MCF-7 cell line at 800 mu g/mL (reduction: 18.08 %) and 1600 mu g/mL (reduction: 41.64 %). Allium tests revealed that ZEnF did not have any adverse impact on the health status (chromosomes-DNA) of exposed organisms. Following the nanofiber coating for chicken meat parts (thigh and breast), it was observed up to 1.25 log CFU/g limitation in total viable bacteria counts (p < 0.05). The sensory score (difference: 3.64 in 10 points scoring on the 6th day of the cold storage) and odor score of chicken meat samples were found to be as higher than control samples (p < 0.05).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNanofiberDnaCytotoxicityMeatCharacterizationQualityArticle462Q1Q139226646WOS:001316491300001
