Electrospun natural polypeptides based nanofabrics enriched with antioxidant polyphenols for active food preservation

•The natural polypeptides-based nanofibers were prepared via an electrospinning process.•Polyphenols improved the antioxidant and hydrophobicity of the film.•The addition of polyphenols changed the secondary structure of zein.•Nanofibers demonstrate active food preservation efficiency.
