ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an edible film and film solution comprising incorporated organic acids; protein and glycerol useful for coating raw whole fruit, fresh cut fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, seafood, cereals, nuts, etc. Moreover, the edible films of the present invention can inhibit pathogen growth includingListeria monocytogens, Salmonella gaminaraandE. coli0157:H7. In a preferred embodiment, the edible film comprises 0.9% glycerol; 10% soy protein; and 2.6% malic acid. The present invention also provides a method for coating comestible products with edible films without masking the color but increasing the shelf-life.
