PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF ACTIVE MATRICES WITH ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY

摘要

The invention relates to a process for lysozyme immobilization on a polymeric matrix containing hydroxyl groups. The characteristics of this process enable covalent binding of lysozyme to a matrix without loss of antimicrobial activity. According to a preferred embodiment of this process, lysozyme and other necessary reagents are sprayed on a matrix which is already reticulated and moist. This invention also relates to products resulting from the process which are endowed with antimicrobial properties. Among possible applications, the product is specifically intended for use in coating or packaging or as part of a coating and/or packaging for foodstuffs.
