Bactericidal Properties of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Modified with Commercial Additives Used for Food Protection in the Food Industry

Abstract: This study investigated the influence of commercially available food preservatives: Natamax® (containing natamycin) and Nisaplin® (containing nisin) on the antimicrobial properties of LDPE film, commonly used for food packaging. Studies have shown that the addition of 3% Natamax® or, alternatively, the addition of 5% Nisaplin® provides an LDPE film with effective antimicrobial protection. The applied biocides did not significantly affect the strength and rheological properties of LDPE. However, differences in … Show more

“…Film packaging is widely used in various food containers, including bags, adherable films and sealings of rigid packages, among others. Despite more biodegradable materials being available for food packaging in the market, polymers derived from petroleum, such as low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), high‐density polyethylene (HDPE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene, are the most popular materials [1]. They are necessary since current biopolymers do not satisfy all the packaging functions.…”
