Antibacterial Films of Composite Materials Based on the Biocompatible Metal-Organic Framework MOF-5 and Hydrocolloids

摘要

The preparation of a new type of packing for food products using biocompatible functional materials is based on the quality control and safety of food products. Composite films of the hydrocolloid matrix including kappa carrageenan and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with particles of the biocompatible metal-organic framework MOF-5 bearing the antibacterial agent (sodium benzoate) immobilized in the pores are prepared. The manifested resistance of the prepared films to potentially pathogenic microorganisms provides wide prospects for manufacturing antimicrobial composite materials of food packing.
