An antifungal low-cost film for cheese packaging was developed using a tailor-made coating
process by direct natamycin (Nat) spraying onto heat softened polyethylene film surface.
Two spraying systems Nat/ethanol solution and Nat/n-heptane suspension with the same
Nat concentration were explored. To select the adequate system, differences in coating
efficiency regarding shape, size, dispersion and distribution of particles, as well as
polyethylene film/Nat adhesion and antifungal activity of both modified films were assessed …
