Packaging Materials Manufactured from Natural Polymers Modified with Silver Nanoparticles

Abstract: The effect of silver nanparticles on the bactericidal and fungicidal properties of natural polymers-cellulose and collagen derivatives-was investigated. It was found that the treatment of films in a silver solution leads to a change in structure: ordering and compaction of microfibres. It is shown that the new materials, having fairly high bactericidal properties to different types of microorganism, are non-toxic and risk-free to humans and the environment.

“…Pathogens in meat, such as Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria monocytogenes , were inhibited by this type of packaging, based on a study on chicken breasts ( Panea et al, 2013 ). In another study by Fedotova et al (2010) , the inclusion of silver nanoparticles in a sausage casing made of cellulose and collagen film had strong antibacterial and antifungal effects.…”

“…Intrinsic factors like water activity, pH, microbes, enzymes, and the level of reactive compounds can be regulated by using specific raw materials and ingredients and appropriate processing parameters. Temperature, total pressure, light, partial pressure of various gases, relative humidity, and mechanical stress (human handling) are the common extrinsic factors that influence the rate of degradation reactions during food material storage [ 55 ]. It is worth noting that the microbial growth mostly occurs on the surface of the perishable foods, including muscle-based foods, and therefore, utilization of antimicrobial packaging efficiently controls the microbial growth compared to the application of antimicrobials as food additives.…”

“…Polymers such as polyolefins, nylons, ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, polyethyleneterephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polyamides, and polyimides have been used for nanocomposite production [ 58 ]. For example, silver NPs immobilized in cellulose and collagen sausages casings showed potential bactericidal activity against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, but they were not harmful to humans and the environment [ 55 ]. Such superior antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus had been demonstrated with silver–polyamide nanocomposites, where the antimicrobial efficiency lasted for 28 days.…”
