Edible films with antimicrobial properties can help keep food fresh for longer by preventing microbial growth. These films can be added to regular food packaging to act as both a protective layer and a way to extend shelf life. By using natural antimicrobials in these films, fruits, vegetables, and meat products can stay fresh and safe to eat for a longer period. In the future, eco-friendly antimicrobial packaging films could become a popular choice for sustainable food packaging, as they are biodegradable and support modern community development.
