Edible food coatings to control potassium sorbate diffusion from surface into food bulk : characterization of the diffusion process in polysaccharide based films

Edible coatings controlling preservative migration from surface to food bulk could inhibit surface microbial growth which is often the main cause of spoilage for many food products. In this project we focused our attention upon methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and chitosan as the stru...
