The aim of this research was to produce a film based on alfalfa seed mucilage with avondol nanoparticles and milk thistle oil. A composite film of alfalfa seed mucilage with avondol nanoparticles (0, 2, 4%) and milk thistle seed oil (0, 1, 2%) was prepared. . The physicochemical properties of the prepared films were investigated. According to the obtained results, adding Avondol nanoparticles and milk thistle seed oil increases the thickness and antioxidant. But increasing the amount of Avondol nanoparticles and milk thistle essential oil in the film decreased the humidity, solubility and water vapor permeability of the films. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the Avondol nanoparticles were physically incorporated with alfalfa seed mucilage polymer. The results of scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the surface morphology of nanocomposite film is heterogeneous compared to alfalfa seed mucilage. Finally, based on the results, adding avondol nanoparticles and milk thistle oil to edible films based on alfalfa seed mucilage improved the thickness, antioxidant and SEM, but weakened the moisture, solubility and permeability to water vapor.

Vegetable oils play an important role in food preparation and food formulation and play a significant role in diet and health. Identification and cultivation of new oilseeds is an important step in the direction of supplying the required oil in the country. Milk thistle plant with the scientific name of Silybum marianum is a one-year or two-year herb that has many medical, medicinal and industrial uses since ancient times. Due to its biological characteristics, this plant requires very little fertilizer and is particularly resistant to dry conditions and weak soils, and it is compatible with the climate conditions of most regions of Iran. Milk thistle seed contains a significant percentage of oil (20-30%) with high nutritional value due to the presence of essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (40-60%), oleic acid (20-32%) and antioxidant and bioactive compounds such as tocopherols, carotenoids and sterols. Therefore, the oil obtained from milk thistle seed can be considered as a new edible oil due to its long-term consumption in different societies and its bioactive compounds. In this review article, a brief look at milk thistle plant, oil percentage and its composition in different regions has been discussed. According to scientific reports and articles, the cultivation and development of this new and valuable oil seed with good economic value is recommended as a new source of edible oil.
