Casting Antimicrobial Packaging Films and Measuring Their Physical Properties and Antimicrobial Activity
Abstract
Antimicrobial film was extruded using LDPE resins and potassium sorbate powder; its tensile properties, transparency and antimicrobial activity were measured to examine the adaptability as a packaging material. The tensile properties were not affected significantly by the incorporation of potassium sorbate to 3% (w/w) in the film. However, transparency of the film decreased as the concentration of potassium sorbate increased. The antimicrobial film decreased the growth rate and maximum growth of yeast, and extended the lag period before mold growth was apparent. Therefore, it can prevent or reduce the rate of microbial spoilage in low viscosity liquids and on the contacted surface area of solid food products and thus may prolong the shelf life of food products when it is used as a packaging material.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
