Abstract

There have been a lot of research efforts on development of active food packaging structures and materials in the form of plastic films and containers, along with investigating novel polymers and bioactive compounds for packaging purpose, in order to improve storage stability and safety of foods during distribution and sale. Recently, great interests focus on antimicrobial package films, as an active packaging system, made from synthetic plastic polymer% and natural biopolymers containing various antimicrobial substances for food packaging applications. In this active system, substances are slowly released onto the food surface. However, antimicrobial activity as well as physical properties of the films can be significantly influenced by several factors such as polymer matrix, antimicrobial compounds, and interactions between polymers and compounds. Thus, this study reviews present status of antimicrobial food packaging films in overall performance aspects including types of polymers and active substances, test for antimicrobial activity, and changes in mechanical and antimicrobial properties by preparation method.

식품의 저장성 및 안전성 향상을 목적으로 필름이나 용기형태의 항균 기능성 포장재를 개발하고자 하는 노력이 지속되고 있으며, 아울러 새로운 고분자 및 항균 소재 탐색에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 기존의 합성 고분자뿐만 아니라 생고분자에 각종 항균제를 첨가 또는 혼입하여 제조한 식품 포장용 항균성 필름이 최근 들어 주목받고 있는데, 이러한 항균성 필름은 담체로 사용된 고분자는 물론 항균제의 종류, 이들의 상호작용에 따라 항균효과 및 지속기간, 필름의 물성 등이 현저하게 달라진다. 따라서 보다 효과적인 식품 포장용 항균 기능성 필름의 제조기술 개발을 위해 발표된 문헌 자료를 토대로 항균필름 제조에 사용된 고분자 소재와 항균제의 종류, 항균활성 평가방법, 제조방법에 따른 항균효과 및 필름의 물성 변화 등 항균필름의 종합적인 항균성 평가 결과를 중심으로 정리하였다.
