nowadays use of edible films and coatings is increasing due to their biodegradability properties. fish gelatin obtained from fish skin wastage can be used as an appropriate protein compound for preparation of edible films and replacing pork gelatin. in this study, films were prepared from a combination of fish gelatin and three phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, tannic acid and ferulic acid) at ...

background and objectives: edible films and coatings are effective method for decreasing oxidation and increasing the shelf life of pistachios. the present study investigated the effect of an edible gelatin coating containing ascorbic acid (aa: 1% w/v) and propyl gallate (pg: 100 ppm) on the oxidative stability and sensory properties of roasted pistachio nuts. materials and methods: pistachios ...

The potential benefits of edible films or coatings are to stabilize the product and thereby extend it shelf life. Edible films can delay ripening of climacteric fruit, delay colour changes in non-climacteric fruit, reduce water loss, reduce decay, and improve appearance. The aim of this work was to evaluate the use of edible coatings to preserve the quality of fresh cut mango fruits storage und...

background: edible films and coatings have potential benefits for food packaging, particularly meat products. these coatings prevent weight loss and texture changes during shelf life by reducing moisture loss in fresh and frozen meat products. in this study, effect of calcium alginate edible coating on microbial and chemical properties of refrigerated lamb meat over a period of  5 days was inve...

in view of the importance environmental pollution caused by plastic food packaging, in recent years there is a considerable interest in edible films and coating based on polysaccharides, proteins, lipids or combination of them. edible coatings also serve as carriers of food additives such as anti-browning and antimicrobials agents, colorants, flavor, nutrients and spices, so act as active packa...

in this study, the potential use of nano-coatings for food packaging industry has been investigated. therefore, this study has been presented in three sections: the application of nanocoatings in the food industry, natural, edible and biodegradable nano coatings. the use of nanoscale or multiatomic coatings have presented specific features in the packing industry. coatings which have shown thei...

oxidative and microbiological degradations are the main factors that determine the quality of food and the shelf life. color and moisture stability are important quality attributes that contribute to meat shelf life, salability and consumer acceptability. there is currently considerable interest in edible films coatings and natural antioxidants because of their potential to improve the quality ...

Techniques in food packaging are varying depending on the global trends, changes technology, sense of responsibility for nature, and consumer expectations. One new techniques using industry recent years is edible films coatings. Edible coatings biomaterials that applied as a thin layer can be consumed with food. Films obtained from different sources to foods application techniques. fresh fruits...
