Summary

A technique of combining poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) with benzoic- and sorbic acid to form antimicrobial food packaging material was developed. Sodium hydroxide and preservative-treated films (benzoic and sorbic acid) exhibited dominantly antimicrobial properties in fungal growth inhibition tests. Based on the results, the authors demonstrated that the technique was feasible for use in manufacturing antimicrobial food packaging films.
