BACKGROUND The consumer demands for better quality and safety of food products have given rise to the development and implementation of edible films. The use of antimicrobial films can be a promising tool for controlling L. monocytogenes on ready to eat products. The aim of this study was to develop effective antimicrobial films incorporating bioactive compounds from green and black teas into c...

Abstract The scaling up of the wet process and design a coating line to produce edible films, require consideration several factors such as, film formulation, drying kinetics selection suitable support material in which pour solution. This work aimed select most for construction conveyor belt fabrication films through process. surface properties starch film-forming solution were determined. Sev...

Permeability is a crucial parameter to describe the transport rate of gas under pressure gradient, relevant molecule movement in pores. The permeability edible film, used on fresh or minimally processed fruits and vegetables, an important because it directly affects product’s respiration metabolic activity. present study summarizes principal methods for measurement films, considering developed ...

Edible films and coatings allow preserving fresh processed food, maintaining quality, preventing microbial contamination and/or oxidation reactions increasing the shelf life of food products. The structural matrix edible is mainly constituted by proteins, lipids or polysaccharides. However, it possible to increase bioactive potential these polymeric matrices adding phenolic compounds obtained f...

Edible and biodegradable films have been successfully explored at experimental level, attracting interest in the food preservation and packaging technology fields. However, film technology still presents several challenges for researchers. Namely, there is a lack of systematic information on the relationship between the composition and properties of film forming solutions and the properties of ...

The effect of dry material, glycerol and ratio of water to seed in alyssum homalocarpum films on their thickness, transparency, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability was investigated using mixture response surface methods. Dry material and glycerol were important factors influencing tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability. Ratio of water t...

Various natural oils/extracts and their constituents incorporated into biopolymer-based edible films as a promising technology with the knowledge that these compounds have been able to reduce microbial growth and chemical changes of packed foodstuffs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporation of Ziziphora clinopodioides essential oil (ZEO; 0, 0.25 and 0.5%) and ses...
