Abstract : Natural and synthetic antimicrobial agents, as well as emerging nanomaterials, are harnessed to fortify packaging materials, extend shelf life, and reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. These films, with their oxygen-scavenging properties and controlled release mechanisms, contribute to the preservation of freshness and taste in packaged foods. They also enable real-time quality monitoring, transforming packaging into an active and intelligent system. Yet, challenges in stability and regulatory compliance remain pivotal considerations. As the world seeks sustainable and efficient packaging solutions, antimicrobial films stand at the forefront, poised to redefine the landscape of food packaging technology. This chapter overview into the multifaceted realm of antimicrobial films as a transformative solution within the field of food packaging.
