ANTIMICROBIAL ENVELOPES

摘要

This invention relates to an antimicrobial substance in a covering which can be decomposed by microorganisms, e.g. of carbohydrates and/or proteins. This can particularly be used in an active package for preventing microbial decay of the packaged goods. For this purpose, such a covering is provided in or on the packaging material, causing the antimicrobial substance to be released only at the location where and the moment when there is microbial activity. Such a package is very suitable for packaging perishable foods.
