Resumen:
Composite edible films and coatings can offer great potential to enhance food quality, safety and stability. They can control mass transfer between components of a product as well as between the product and the environment; the addition of antioxidants, antimicrobial agents, etc. in their formulations improves their performance. The unique advantages of edible films and coatings may lead to new product developments, such as individual packaging of particulate foods, carriers for different additives, and nutrient supplements.
