Active packaging technology is one of the innovative
methods for preserving of food products, and antimicrobial packaging films is a
major branch and promising application of this technology. In order to control
microbial spoilage and also contamination of pathogen onto processed or fresh food,
antimicrobial agent(s) is/are incorporated into food packaging structure.
Polymer type as a carrier of antimicrobial can be petroleum-based plastic or
biopolymer: because of environmental concerns researchers have lean to
development of biodegradable antimicrobial films. Antimicrobial substances can
be organic acids, parabens, sulfites, nitrites, phosphates, alcohols,
antibiotics and bacteriocins. Succeed of
antimicrobial film mainly depends on antimicrobial agent selection that
antimicrobial should be chosen according to the food type packed, and
deteriorative microbial flora of it. This review discussed the recent
application of antimicrobial-active films for food protection. Also, their
activity mechanisms against microorganisms, the effects of antimicrobials on
food quality and of the film properties were presented.
