Films are produced from macromolecules, which may be used as packaging, such as polysaccharides, lipids and proteins. The proteins stand out from the others because they have a structure with 20 different monomers, which confers broad potential for intermolecular bonds. The incorporation of active agents in films is an alternative for packaging, to inhibit or retard the multiplication of pathogens and spoilage microorganisms in foods. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of films based on Argentine anchovy (Engraulis anchoita) protein isolate (API) with...
