The post-processing contamination is one of the major causes
of foodborne illness and the associated food product recalls; a major
public health issue and an economic burden for the food industry [1].
Therefore, post-processing antimicrobial interventions are gaining
significance in order to control the growth of bacteria that contaminate
the food product after the primary lethal treatment. Packaging of
foods is one of the final steps in food processing before storage
and consumption and therefore is a critical step for incorporating
antimicrobial mechanisms especially to control the post-processing
contamination. Antimicrobial packaging is a promising form of
active packaging to improve safety and shelf-life of food products.
In antimicrobial packaging, agents may be coated, incorporated,
immobilized, or surface modified onto packaging materials [2]. Many
compounds such as organic acids, bacteriocins, enzymes, spices and
polysaccharides (chitosan) have been tried in antimicrobial packaging
with varying degree of success.
