Antibacterial food packaging production process

All along, the food packaging sector has shown a strong interest in antibacterial coating films because it can prevent food mildew from occurring without the use of food preservatives. At present, German scientists use pharmaceutical expertise to create such antimicrobial packaging that can be applied to liquid beverages such as milk. This is an important change in food packaging technology.
