The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

LAB bacteriocin applications in the last decade (2016, background): “There is an increasing demand for natural products that meet high quality standards and safety, particularly, in health and food derived from ‘clean and safe’ technologies such as the use of natural preservatives and biodegradable materials in food packaging [9].”
Natural Pectin Polysaccharides as Edible Coatings (2015, background): “In particular, the gelation of low-methoxyl pectins takes place in the presence of multivalent metal cations, such as calcium, due to their electrostatic interactions with the opposite charged cavities formed by polymer chains [59–61].”
State of the Art of Antimicrobial Edible Coatings for Food Packaging Applications (2017, background): “In addition, an edible film is defined as a packaging material, which is a thin layer placed on or between food components, used as wraps or separation layers [55].”
