In the present study, two application patterns of CDs in antimicrobial food packaging were investigated using the volatile and non-volatile antimicrobials. One is to prepare the antimicrobials inclusion complex with CD and then incorporate the inclusion complex directly into polymers material. In this way the antimicrobial agents could migrate and release gradually from the packaging film to the food surface. The other way is to covalent immobilization of CDs onto polymers to obtain the antimicrobial ...
