Abstract

Techniques in food packaging are varying depending on the global trends, changes in technology, sense of responsibility for nature, and consumer expectations. One of the new techniques using in the packaging industry in recent years is edible films and coatings. Edible films and coatings are biomaterials that are applied as a thin layer on food and can be consumed with food. Films and coatings obtained from different sources are applied to foods with different application techniques. Films and coatings can be applied to fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as dried foods. However, the investigation on the application operations of films and coating on food particularly fresh fruits and vegetables are taking a very important role. In this review, according to research in the last 20 years, not only the effects of the films and coatings on food (fresh and dried fruits and vegetables) properties but also applied procedures are summarized and discussed.

Taze ve Kuru Meyve ve Sebzelerde Yenilebilir Film ve Kaplama Uygulamaları

Abstract

Gıda paketlemede kullanılan teknikler küresel trendlere, teknolojideki değişimlere, doğaya karşı sorumluluk bilincine ve tüketici beklentilerine bağlı olarak değişmektedir. Ambalaj endüstrisinde son yıllarda kullanılan yeni tekniklerden biri de yenilebilir film ve kaplamalardır. Yenilebilir film ve kaplamalar, yiyeceklerin üzerine ince bir tabaka halinde uygulanan ve yiyeceklerle birlikte tüketilebilen biyomalzemelerdir. Farklı kaynaklardan elde edilen film ve kaplamalar farklı uygulama teknikleri ile gıdalara uygulanmaktadır. Filmler ve kaplamalar, taze meyve ve sebzelerin yanı sıra kuru gıdalara da uygulanabilir. Bununla birlikte, özellikle taze meyve ve sebzeler olmak üzere gıdaların üzerine film ve kaplama uygulama operasyonlarının araştırılması çok önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu derlemede, son 20 yılda yapılan araştırmalara göre film ve kaplamaların sadece gıda (taze ve kuru meyve ve sebzeler) özelliklerine etkileri değil, uygulanan prosedürler de özetlenmiş ve tartışılmıştır.
