Description : Microbial attacks occur on food surfaces even when the food is packaged. This can be attributed to moisture permeability in the packaging materials and other environmental conditions. Therefore, active agents like antimicrobial components and antioxidants must be incorporated into the packaging system; these active agents function by enhancing the stability of the product to a greater extent. Implementing an active packaging system ensures the safety and quality aspects of packaged foods so that consumers may use the products without worry.
