Abstract

As a result of the increasing population, food safety and quality have also been among the issues that consumers have taken into consideration in recent years, in addition to the access of people in the population to food production. For this reason, the packaging used in the past has been replaced by environmentally friendly biodegradable edible films and coatings, which improve the organoleptic properties of foods. In recent years, emphasis has been placed on the use of antimicrobial and antioxidant packaging materials, as they generally provide good protection against oxidative and physical stress. It has been determined as a result of studies that edible films and coatings with different application methods have approximately similar qualities. In this article, after providing information about edible films and coatings, it is aimed to provide information about application methods and antioxidant application in edible films and coatings.
