Abstract

The environmental impacts of plastic waste have increased interest in biodegradable food packaging as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. Among recent innovations, essential oil–infused biopolymer packaging has attracted attention because it combines active food preservation with environmental sustainability. This systematic literature review aims to synthesize recent developments in essential oil–infused biopolymer packaging and explore its potential as a contextual learning resource in science education. The review followed the PRISMA 2020 framework and employed thematic synthesis to analyze scientific, sustainability, and educational dimensions reported in the literature. The review identified a growing trend toward multifunctional packaging systems through biopolymer blending, essential oil incorporation, encapsulation technologies, and nanomaterial reinforcement. The literature indicates that these systems integrate interdisciplinary scientific concepts, including polymer interactions, antimicrobial activity, diffusion processes, biodegradation, and sustainable material design. The synthesis further revealed that essential oil–infused biopolymer packaging provides an authentic context for inquiry-based, project-based, and sustainability-oriented learning by connecting chemistry, biology, physics, and environmental science with real-world challenges such as plastic pollution and food preservation. The literature also highlights opportunities to develop scientific literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, systems thinking, and sustainability competencies. This review contributes by linking sustainable packaging innovation with science education and highlighting its potential to support interdisciplinary STEM learning and sustainability-oriented education.

Abstract

Currently, perfumes have emerged as highly sought-after cosmetic products in the Indonesian consumer market, aligning with the demands of daily life for enhanced self-assurance. Various types of perfume are categorized based on the ratio of fragrant oil content to solvent. Presently, the prevailing perfumes available in the market predominantly belong to the category with low concentrations of fragrant oils. The principal objective of this research is to formulate a product recipe for Eau de Perfume (EDP) with sweet and floral characteristics. The methodology employed in this study is experimental and consists of two phases: perfume formulation, evaluation, and final product development. The evaluation conducted in this research encompasses organoleptic and physical assessment, aroma longevity testing, spot testing, hedonic evaluation, and sensory testing. Based on the data collected from the research results, it can be concluded that the perfumes with longer aroma longevity are formulas F1 and F2. The average area of EDP spray dispersion is 74,48 mm. The most preferred hedonic test result was obtained from formula F2. Organoleptic test data for all formulas showed a clear and particle-free, the colorless solution observed after one month of storage. The solution’s viscosity increased during the fourth week due to the partial evaporation of the solvent. Sensory analysis results revealed that the aroma of all three formulas was characterized as sweet with floral undertones.
