Preparation and physicochemical characterization of different biocomposite films blended with bacterial exopolysaccharide EPS MC-5 and bacteriocin for food packaging applications.

The study aims to evaluate how bacteriocin and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) can influence the development of active packaging for food. The components might enhance the performance of packaging materials in terms of their physicochemical properties and their effectiveness in preserving food. Bacteriocin and EPS exert a significant effect in blocking the transmission of UV and visible light radiations.
