• Edible and Biodegradable Starch Films: A Review (2012, background): “Likewise, several studies analyzed the effect of chitosan on starch-based films (Fernández-Cervera et al. 2004; Mathew and Abraham 2008; Bourtoom and Chinnan 2008; Shen et al. 2010; Zhong et al. 2011) and underlined the known antimicrobial property of this carbohydrate.”
• Development of Edible Films and Coatings with Antimicrobial Activity (2011, methodology): “This behavior was observed in films based in tapioca starch, in sweet potato starch, and in whey protein (Cagri et al. 2001; Flores et al. 2010; 2007a; Shen et al. 2010).”
• Potassium sorbate release from poly(vinyl alcohol)-bacterial cellulose films (2012, background): “Potassium (2E,4E )-hexa-2,4-dienoate (potassium sorbate or K-sorbate) is used in a wide range of preservative applications due to the combination of its bactericidal and bacteriostatic action with its non-toxicity and neutral taste ( Shen et al., 2010; Yoshida et al., 2010).”
