Biodegradable Polymer for Food Packaging: Degradation and Waste Management
2016
The food added with active/bioactive molecules and bioactive living cells (probiotics) has increased all
over the world. Despite the incontestable importance and consumer interest for this kind of food products, there are lots of challenges in handling and using some bioactives because many of them are highly
sensitive or reactive and some can reduce the sensory acceptance of the food product. In this context,
microencapsulation has been studied and applied to overcome such drawbacks; besides, this technique
can promote a controlled release of the bioactive in their site of action. More than this, microencapsulation can produce a complete change in the properties of bioactive materials, providing new applications
for them.
