The study analyses the biodegradation degree of biodegradable phytobiotic-based films for packaging food products animal origin. During research authors have completed following tasks: studied starch-and gelatin-based films, structure natural polysaccharides-based polymers, water absorption edible chemical stability pH and activity. parameters phytobiotic will allow development a new approach t...

The development of edible coatings to extend the shelf-life of fresh fruits and vegetables has been one of the most important goals of the post harvest industry. Thus, in the last decade, research efforts have resulted in edible coatings based on biodegradable biopolymers (proteins and polysaccharides) that at the same time allow the reutilization of some by-products of the food industry. Gener...

the usage of antimicrobial materials for coating meat products, in addition to reducing the microbial population and increase of the quality safety of products, be greatly reduced usage of nitrites as preservatives and synthetic carcinogens. compounds that have antimicrobial activity can be mixed, stabilized or incorporated with edible coatings. spices and vegetable extracts are also a group of...

One of the major growth segments in the food retail industry is fresh and minimally processed fruits and vegetables. This new market trend has thus increased the demands to the food industry for seeking new strategies to increase storability and shelf life and to enhance microbial safety of fresh produce. The technology of edible coatings has been considered as one of the potential approaches f...

background and objectives: nowadays, considerable to food biodegradable and edible packaging increased. synthetic packaging due to the problems environment edible coating are thin layer of material which are on the surface of food products and increased the shelf life of foodstuff by providing a moisture and oxygen barrier. edible coatings might be used as carriers of various substances, includ...

Bell pepper fruits coated with edible coatings such as chitosan and Aloe vera gel along with packaging was experimented to study their quality parameters and storage life. Chitosan and Aloe vera gel coatings with bell pepper creates a semi permeable barrier that controls gases exchange, reduce water loss and there by maintain tissue firmness, reducing microbial decay and delays oxidative browni...

Hydrosol is a side product of essential oil extraction from plants. In this study, the effect of various ratios (5-100 %v/v) of cinnamon hydrosol replacement in the formulation of edible gelatin films was investigated. Physical properties were evaluated and the antibacterial properties of gelatin films against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Staphyl...
