Bacteria are bred at the point of contact between food and packaging. To prevent the arrival of these uninvited guests, German scientists have recently used medical expertise to develop an antimicrobial plastic food packaging.
This kind of packaging uses coating technology to add anti-corrosion and antibacterial materials on the plastic packaging film to replace the preservatives added in foods. Such coatings can be achieved by using composite resins and other materials as base materials and special technologies. This is an important change in food packaging. It can prevent food mildew from occurring without the use of food preservatives.
