Summary

Introduction

Grupo de Biotecnología de Materiales y Medioambiente (Bio&TecMA), Facultad de Química e Ingeniería del Rosario, Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA), Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET), Rosario, Argentina. There have been increasing research activities about formulation, development, and use of edible films and coating to release antimicrobial constituents in food packaging as a form of “active packaging” that could extend the shelf-life of a product and provides microbial safety for consumers. Edible coatings are food grade suspensions which may be delivered by spraying, spreading, or dipping, which upon drying form a clear thin layer over the food surface.
