Antimicrobial and physical properties of sweet potato starch films incorporated with potassium sorbate or chitosan (2010, positive): “The antimicrobial mechanism of chitosan is due to its NH2 group can be protonated to NH3 þ and readily form electrostatic interactions with anionic groups of microbial cell membranes, leading to the leakage of proteinaceous and other intracellular constituents of the microorganisms (Pranoto et al., ”
Physico-chemical characterization of chitosan-based edible films incorporating bioactive compounds of different molecular weight (2011, background): “The development of active packaging systems, particularly those exhibiting antimicrobial properties, is a long studied theme (see, e.g. Cai et al., 2010; Martins et al., 2010; Pranoto et al., 2005).”
Chitosan-gelatin composites and bi-layer films with potential antimicrobial activity (2011, background): “The mechanical response of laminated films was governed by the more rigid component of the matrix, as reported previously by Rivero et al. (2009) for fish gelatin/chitosan films and by Martucci and Ruseckaite (2010b) for mammalian gelatin/PLA ones.”
Engineering Properties of Polymeric-Based Antimicrobial Films for Food Packaging: A Review (2011, background): “A decrease in film strength and resistance was observed with increase in concentration of the antimicrobial incorporated in the polymer [20, 27 ].”
Development of Edible Films and Coatings with Antimicrobial Activity (2011, methodology): “The first step consists in the casting of a partially dry alginate film solution, followed by an immersion into a calcium chloride solution or, alternatively, spraying the pre-formed film with the calcium solution (Carulo and Kieckbusch 2005; Pranoto et al. 2005b).
