Antimicrobial activity and physical properties of chitosan-tapioca starch based edible films and coatings

Antimicrobial activity of edible coating solutions based on chitosan and blends of chitosan-tapioca starch with or without potassium sorbate (KS) addition was studied. The agar well diffusion assay showed an antagonist effect on the efficiency of chitosan against Lactobacillus spp. when KS and/or ta...

The agar well diffusion assay showed an antagonist effect on the efficiency of chitosan against Lactobacillus spp. when KS and/or tapioca starch were present.

Chitosan-tapioca starch based films reduced Zygosaccharomyces bailii external spoilage in a semisolid product but were not effective against Lactobacillus spp. The results suggest that antibacterial action depended on the application technique, due to the fact that chitosan is more available in a coating solution than in a film matrix.
