| Popis: | A large amount of packaging has been used and discarded daily, and most of them are discarded in the nature and require many years to decompose. The use of synthetic polymers, due to its advantages and processability, is widely diffused industrially on the development of packaging, however raw materials from renewable sources are an attractive alternative for this purpose. Polymers from renewable sources in the production of packaging results in a product capable of degrading in a shorter period of time when compared to traditional ones, therefore influencing for a greater sustainability in the world. Several chemical compounds exhibit antimicrobial behavior and they can be found in plant extracts or in essential oils. Therefore, in order to confer antimicrobial properties on edible films and coatings, it is possible to add in its composition plant extracts and / or essential oils from various plant species. Thus, this chapter is aimed to describe packaging from renewable sources with antimicrobial properties, antimicrobial agents capable to be added in theses packaging, the incorporation form of those agents and the application of an antimicrobial packaging in food science field The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 712949 (TECNIOspring PLUS) and from the Agency for Business Competitiveness of the Government of Catalonia |
