Overview

Demonstrates the effectiveness of active antimicrobial packaging in controlling microbes in food, suggesting its potential to enhance safety.

Key Points

  • To explore the mechanisms and effectiveness of active antimicrobial packaging in controlling microbial spoilage and foodborne pathogens.
  • Reviewed mechanisms of microbial control via active packaging
  • Analyzed various natural antimicrobials and their effects on microorganisms
  • Investigated the impact of environmental factors such as pH and temperature on packaging efficacy
  • Active antimicrobial packaging achieved multi-log reductions in pathogens like Listeria and Salmonella
  • Systems showed varied effectiveness depending on pH, water activity, and fat content
  • Oxygen scavengers influenced microbial ecology by reducing aerobic spoilage organisms
