Abstract
Active antimicrobial food packaging has emerged as a promising solution to address the growing challenges associated with food safety and shelf-life extension. This innovative packaging technology incorporates antimicrobial agents directly into packaging materials to actively inhibit the growth of microorganisms, thereby preventing spoilage and enhancing the safety of perishable food products. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts, advancements, and applications of active antimicrobial food packaging. The review begins by exploring the fundamental principles behind active antimicrobial packaging, elucidating the various antimicrobial agents such as essential oils, antimicrobial peptides, and nanoparticles. It discusses the mechanisms by which these agents exert their antimicrobial effects, including the disruption of cell membranes, inhibition of enzymatic activities, and interference with cellular processes. Food packaging applications across different food categories, including fresh produce, meat, dairy, and bakery products are also highlighted.
