Abstract :
Edible films can incorporate antimicrobial extracts to provide microbiological stability on food surfaces. The aim of this study was to evaluate chitosan or starch edible films added by selected concentrations of Mexican oregano (Lippia berlandieri Schauer) essential oil to control anthracnose. Chitosan and starch edible films were formulated with essential oil concentrations of 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 2.00, or 4.00%. Mold radial growth was evaluated by modified Gompertz equation. A significant (p 0.05) change of Gompertz parameters was observed among essential oil concentrations, increasing the lag phase and decreasing radial growth rates as oil concentration increased.
