Description

The outbreak of microbial contamination in food has resulted in increasing awareness about the need for food safety, and preservation from microbial attack. While a variety of anti-microbial food packaging are being developed, recent years have shown a shift toward the development of anti-microbial food coatings that has the potential to reduce the need for packaging and help in extending the shelf life of food. Also, use of anti-microbial additives help in preserving the food quality by reducing the growth of microbes on the food . This research service,"Advances in Food Anti-Microbial Coatings," focuses on the identification of the various anti-microbial coatings for protection and enhancing the shelf life of food.
