Effectiveness of antimicrobial coated oriented polypropylene/polyethylene films in sprout packaging

Influence of NaCI and NaNO3 on Sinigrin Hydrolysis by Foodborne Bacteria

“…The increase in glucosinolate (SNG) degradation with increased incubation time was in agree ment with results found by Luciano and Holley (23) and Gamage et al (11). AIT, the major metabolite of the oriental mustard glucosinolate, SNG, possesses substantial bacteri cidal power against foodbome pathogens (unpublished data, this laboratory) (33).…”

Antifungal properties of gliadin films incorporating cinnamaldehyde and application in active food packaging of bread and cheese spread foodstuffs

“…Films, coatings, nanoparticles or devices containing cinnamaldehyde have been produced using a wide variety of raw materials, including cellulose (Sanla-Ead et al, 2012), chitosan (Brasil et al, 2012;Ouattara et al, 2000), pectin (Brasil et al, 2012;Ravishankar et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2010), starch (Ben Arfa et al, 2007Kechichian et al, 2010), soy protein (Ben Arfa et al, 2007;Gamage et al, 2009), poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) (Gomes et al, 2011;Zodrow et al, 2012), PP, PE/EVOH (Lopez et al, 2007a), and wax paraffin (Rodriguez-Lafuente et al, 2010;Rodriguez et al, 2008). However, as far as we know there are no studies reported in the literature regarding the use of wheat protein-based materials as carriers of cinnamaldehyde for the development of antimicrobial films.…”

“…Shelf-life of freshcut papaya was prolonged by coating with a layer-by-layer edible assembly made of chitosan and pectin incorporating a microencapsulated beta-cyclodextrin/cinnamaldehyde complex (Brasil et al, 2012). Microbial counts of radish, broccoli, and alfalfa sprouts stored in oPP/PE film packages coated with soy protein isolate containing cinnamaldehyde were significantly reduced (Gamage et al, 2009). Cinnamon essential oil incorporated into solid wax paraffin and used as a paper coating showed a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of Rhizopus stolonifer inoculated in bread (Rodriguez et al, 2008).…”

Characterization of antioxidant low density polyethylene/polyaniline blends prepared via extrusion

“…The inclusion of zeolites in the PE matrix improved its water vapour transfer rate [12]. Furthermore, PE has been coated with garlic oil, rosemary oil [13] and zinc oxide nanoparticles [14] to yield packaging films with antimicrobial properties.…”
