Vermindering van vorming van biofilm op golfkarton

Recently, attention has turned to anti-microbial coatings as a novel method for mitigating biofilm formation on food packaging materials. Polymers can be used to coat food packaging. Engineering polymers with anti-adhesion chemical properties or integrating anti-microbials into active packaging are two common strategies being studied.
Researchers aimed to assess the relatedness of bacterial communities found on several fresh fruits and vegetables and their associated corrugated cardboard surfaces and then the feasibility of mitigating biofilm formation by developing a novel polymer supplemented with thiazolidinedione type anti-biofilm molecules (Frontiers in Microbiology, 16 februari 2016).
