The study validated the efficacy of methyl cellulose films doped with different concentration of Eu 2 O 3 nanoparticles to inactivate foodborne pathogens. Eu 2 O 3 nanoparticles were added to the methyl cellulose solution with different weight percentages (0.0, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 wt%). X‐ray diffraction patterns for the prepared films were studied. A significant lower count of E. coli, S. typhimurium, and S. aureus ( p ≤ .05) inoculated in MC films doped with Eu 2 O 3 nanoparticles compared with pure MC film could be achieved. The findings acquired verify the impact of prepared MC films doped with Eu 2 O 3 nanoparticles on the test strains.
