Why is it important?
This work demonstrated the antimicrobial potential of extruded LDPE / AgNPs films, enabling their production as food packaging aimed at reducing the risks of microbial contamination and maintaining the quality of food products.
Perspectives
I hope this article will make it easier for the general public to understand the area of nanotechnology, especially those in the biology area. In addition, this article has differentials, seen in a few articles in the area, such as antimicrobial analysis on extruded films, fungus analysis. and imaging procedure to visualize the deteriorating action of this technology on microorganisms.
