This study aims to systematize the knowledge about innovative solutions understand composition of packaging materials and bioactive substances used in processes meat products, given contemporary trends consumer expectations. In edible packaging, application natural renewable biopolymers is gaining popularity as, unlike petroleum-based plastic materials, they do not cause environmental problems....

In recent years, the use of edible coatings as a carrier of food additives and antimicrobial compounds in fishery products has been considered. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of 2% chitosan coating singly or combined with 0.1% grape seed extract (GSE) on microbial (mesophilic and psychrophilic count), chemical (TBA, pH and PV) and sensorial properties of rainbow trout fillet...

In the search for sustainable and ecological alternatives in food packaging, use of starch as one most abundant biopolymer resources to formulate edible films has been studied. Nonetheless, compatibility with other derivatives, such dextrin and/or chemically modified starch, not explored yet. The objective this research was characterize opacity, water vapor barrier capability, thermal propertie...

Background: Active packaging represents a defining strategy to improve food quality and safety of the packaged foods. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro ability of commercial biopolymeric foams, namely Mater-Bi (MB), activated with 20% of carvacrol, to develop a completely biodegradable and compostable packaging to inhibit the growth of spoilage and pathogenic yeasts. Methods: MB foams,...

(L)CNF from horticultural residues or vine shoots improve the structural integrity of CMC films for food packaging. Gallic acid incorporation allows obtaining active with enhanced UV-light barrier, high antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities.
