As antimicrobial substances we have tested potassium sorbate and thyme essential oil. In the second part of this chapter, we propose new composite hydrogels composed of bacterial cellulose and other polysaccharides as xanthan and carboxymethylcellulose, hydrogels which could act as superabsorbent of moisture and fluids exuded from packaged fresh food products. Examples are focused on cellulose and its derivative uses. The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of antimicrobial packaging, underlying especially the role of natural antimicrobial agents and biopolymers. To tailor an antimicrobial food pad using natural antimicrobial agents is also a challenge which could be achieved. Cellulose and cellulose-derived materials are already used as components in food pads architecture. ![]() Absorbent pads are widely used in food industry in order to preserve sensorial characteristics of packaged fresh or refrigerated food products, such as meat or poultry and also fruit and vegetables which could generate exudates during storage time. To extend food shelf life and to contribute to the consumer’s health are the main challenges of the new technology. Antimicrobial food packaging is one of the major innovations in the field of packaging technology.
