“…Lysozyme obtained from hen egg white is one of the most potential candidates for antimicrobial packaging since it has a GRAS status and it shows good stability and activity in different films and food systems under refrigerated storage temperatures (Mecitoglu et al, 2006;Ünalan, Korel, & Yemenicioğlu, 2011). Thus, lysozyme has recently been tested extensively in different plastic materials such as cellulose acetate, nylon, and PVOH (Gemili, Yemenicioglu, & Altinkaya, 2009;Joerger, 2007) and biopolymeric materials from zein, soy protein, carrageenan, whey protein, chitosan, alginate and pullulan (Joerger, 2007;Mendes de Souza, Fernández, López-Carballo, Gavara, & Hernández-Muñoz, 2010). This enzyme shows antimicrobial activity mainly on Gram-positive bacteria by splitting the bonds between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine of the peptidoglycan in their cell walls.…”
