Why do we use them? • Reduce risk for foodborne illness • Prolong shelf-life of products • Help maintain food quality • Quintavalla S, Vicini L. Antimicrobial food packaging in meat industry.

Purpose • To research the composition of edible films and their use on fruits, meats, and dairy to aid in the prevention of microbial growth.
Article #1 Storage Studies of Mango Packed Using Biodegradable Chitosan Film Research Results 18 day experiment 4 mangos with chitosan use, 4 without (control) Mangos were periodically examined for signs of microbial growth Experiment showed good potential of using chitosan films for storage properties and shelf-life extension on fruits such as mangos. • Srinivasa PC, Baskaran R, Ramesh MN, Harish Prashanth KV, Tharanathan RN.

Bioactive Packaging Materials from Edible Chitosan Polymer – Antimicrobial Activity Assessment on Dairy- Related Contaminants Article #2 Research Results Pseudomonas aeruginosawas innoculated by immersion of Swiss cheese Coated with chitosan film coating solution Colony counting was averaged out of 5 petri dishes after incubating for up to 6 days. Petri dishes with chitosan-free cheese samples showed a higher CFU than the chitosan coated dishes. Use of chitosan helped to reduce the maximal microbial density. • Outtara B, Simard RE, Piette G, Begin A, Holley RA.
