et al.

Abstract: Antimicrobial low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) films were developed by adding 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5% and 5.0% (w/w) of Mexican oregano essential oil (OEO) or potassium sorbate (PS) as a positive antifungal control to inhibit the growth of Penicillium expansum, Penicillium citrinum and Aspergillus niger in vitro. Three methods of adding OEO in LDPE were evaluated; the best OEO yield in film was achieved when OEO was incorporated after laminating (88%); otherwise, when added into cool‐melting resin, OEO lost up to … Show more

“…As low-density polyethylene (LDPE) does not have antimicrobial activity, introducing antimicrobial agents in the polymer film is the only strategy that can generate polyethylene-based antimicrobial packaging. Various strategies were reported in the literature employing organic [ 12 ], inorganic [ 13 ], or mixed agents [ 14 ]. Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) represent a special class of antimicrobials that can be used in packaging films; here are worth mentioning ZnO, Ag, CuO, TiO 2, or SiO 2 [ 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”
