The objectives of this study were to study the antibacterial effect of thyme and clove essential oils as well as their synergistic effect with chelating agent (EDTA) from chitosan-based edible films against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Thyme and clove essential oils were incorporated into chitosan-based edible films at 0.5, 1 and 1.5% v/v both alone and in combination with EDTA at 5 mmol. Films containing thyme essential oil revealed larger inhibitory zones than those of containing clove essential oil. EDTA enhanced antimicrobial effects of essential oils against both gram-positive and<i> </i>gram-negative bacteria. The results of this study showed that thyme and clove essential oils in combination with EDTA have a good potential for using with chitosan to make antimicrobial edible films and coatings for various food applications. |
