The present study was conducted to evaluate the shelf- life of paneer wrapped with oregano essential oil treated starch and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) based edible packaging film. The edible film was prepared by adding starch (5g), carboxymethyl cellulose (15 % W/W starch) in distilled water (100mL) and glycerol (40ml/100g starch). Physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory properties at (4±1°C) till spoilage was evaluated for paneer samples. Control sample was unacceptable after 5th day of storage for sensory evaluation and found microbiologically unfit on 9th day of storage. The paneer packed in edible film treated with 0.5% oregano essential oil was found bland on 10th day of sensory evaluation but found microbiologically fine at 12th day of storage. The results revealed that paneer packed in edible film treated with oregano essential oil was found microbiologically safe for at least 12 days as compared to 5-6 days for control sample at 4±1°C.
