Pacheco 9 Incorporation of antimicrobial agents in food packaging films and coatings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Food quality and safety are major concerns in the food industry. Antimicrobial packaging can be considered an emerging technology that could have a significant impact on shelf life extension and food safety. Use of antimicrobial agents in food packaging can control the microbial population and target specific microorganisms to provide higher safety and quality products. Many classes of antimicrobial compounds have been evaluated in film structures, synthetic polymers and edible films. The characteristics of some antimicrobial packaging systems are reviewed in this article. Correspondence/Reprint request: Dr. Pérez-Pérez C., Depto.

متن کاملAntimicrobial films: a review
Recent foodborne microbial outbreaks are the driving force in the search for innovative ways to inhibit microbial growth in food while maintaining its quality and safety. A new trend in food preservation consists of the incorporation of antimicrobial films on food surfaces. Many studies have demonstrated that antimicrobial films and coatings are effective in reducing levels of pathogenic organi...
متن کاملPreparation and Rheological Property Evaluation of LDPE/ Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite Films for Food Packaging Application
Nowadays, nanoscale innovations in the forms of pathogen detection, active packaging, antimicrobial packaging and barrier formation are poised to elevate food packaging to new heights. Antimicrobial nanocomposite LDPE films containing ZnO nanoparticles at different concentrations (e.g. 1%, 3%, 5% and 3% nano-ZnO pulse 10% polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), w/w pure LDPE), were p...
