Development of Multi-layer Films Containing Natural Antimicrobial Agents
… comprising an inner coating layer containing natural antimicrobial (AM) agents were developed. Volatile essential oils obtained from plant extracts including carvacrol, linalool and methylchavicol were used as the active AM agents in the coating layer. The amount of natural AM agents and the …

Incorporation of natural antimicrobial agents into starch-based material for food packaging
Antimicrobial (AM) films comprising of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and a commercial aliphatic polyester blended with thermoplastic starch (APTPS) were prepared and their properties, release of AM agents, and AM efficacy was studied in laboratory media and on a real foodstuff (Cheddar cheese). The AM …

The discovery of a novel bioactive peptide, QUB-1036, from the defensive skin secretion of Pelophylax kl. esculentus
Gene-coded antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a great source of natural antimicrobial agents and good models for the design of new generation antibiotics. In the meantime, a large number of AMPs have been isolated and characterised from different amphibian species due to their special skin structure …

Incorporation of selected plant extracts into edible chitosan films and the effect on the antiviral, antibacterial and mechanical properties of the material
… as carriers of functional additives including antimicrobial agents. Consumer interest in naturally-derived antimicrobials has also increased. Plant extracts such as grape seed and green tea extracts are known to have antiviral as well as antibacterial activities. Even though there are several …
