“…Another study mentioned that whey protein film with addition of 1-4% of cinnamon oil was tested against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. However, the study showed antimicrobial activity only against Staphylococcus aureus with the highest inhibition zone at 4% addition of cinnamon oil into the whey protein film [58]. In addition, a major compound in cinnamon oil that exhibited the antimicrobial activity was identified as transcinnamaldehyde or cinnamaldehyde [59].…”

This review discusses the protein-based active film as antimicrobial food packaging derived from various sources such as gelatin, casein, whey and zein-based protein. The films properties that exhibit antimicrobial activity are being reviewed along with their application in food packaging industry. This paper also studies the inhibition activity by antimicrobial agents from organic and metallic sources which were incorporated into the protein-based film. Nowadays, protein-based film has emerged as one of the most extensively studied in food packaging sector as it exhibits good mechanical, optical, and oxygen barrier properties. In addition, protein-based film also showed good compatibility to polar surfaces while having effective control on the release of additives and bioactive compounds in food packaging system. This paper also detailed out information on antimicrobial food packaging in order to increase consumer awareness regarding food safety and healthy lifestyle while maintaining the quality and prolonged the shelf life of food product.

“…In a spoilage assay, the films successfully prevented fungal growth in bread, lowered lactic acid bacteria counts in chicken salami, and extended the shelf life of both foods. In addition, the whey protein-cinnamon oil films were biodegradable, degrading within 10 days under the action of soil microorganisms [41]. While there is little literature on the relationship between food rheology and whey protein isolate packaging, a film of sodium alginate, whey protein, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG did not impact the texture or the flavor of the bread [42].…”

“…In addition, the lower pH value of whey protein films containing p-aminobenzoic or sorbic acids can also contribute to the inhibition of microbial growth [40]. A study by Aisha and Abdullahi investigated the antimicrobial properties of whey protein isolate films that contained cinnamon essential oil [41]. While the film was ineffective against Escherichia coli, it was effective against Staphylococcus aureus.…”

Food packaging plays a vital role in protecting food products from environmental damage and preventing contamination from microorganisms. Conventional food packaging made of plastics produced from unrenewable fossil resources is hard to degrade and poses a negative impact on environmental sustainability. Natural biopolymers are attracting interest for reducing environmental problems to achieve a sustainable society, because of their abundance, biocompatibility, biodegradability, chemical stability, and non-toxicity. Active packaging systems composed of these biopolymers and biopolymer-based composites go beyond simply acting as a barrier to maintain food quality. This review provides a comprehensive overview of natural biopolymer materials used as matrices for food packaging. The antioxidant, water barrier, and oxygen barrier properties of these composites are compared and discussed. Furthermore, biopolymer-based composites integrated with antimicrobial agents—such as inorganic nanostructures and natural products—are reviewed, and the related mechanisms are discussed in terms of antimicrobial function. In summary, composites used for active food packaging systems can inhibit microbial growth and maintain food quality.
