Edible coatings can extend the shelf-life of many foods, controlling moisture and solute migration, gas exchange and oxidative reaction rates. Besides, edible coatings can be used as carriers of bioactive compounds to improve the quality of food products such as antioxidants, antimicrobials, flavors and probiotics. These approaches can be useful to extend shelf-life as well as provide a functional product. When edible coatings are used as a matrix holding bioactive compounds remarkable benefits arise; off odors and flavors can be masked, bioactive compounds are protected from the environment, and controlled release is allowed. In this sense, the present review will be focused on analyzing the potential use of encapsulation with edible coatings to incorporate bioactive compounds, solving the disadvantages of direct application.
可食用涂层可以延长许多食品的保质期,控制水分和溶质迁移、气体交换和氧化反应速率。此外,可食用涂层可用作生物活性化合物的载体,以提高食品质量,如抗氧化剂、抗菌剂、香料和益生菌。这些方法可用于延长保质期和提供功能性产品。当可食用涂层用作保持生物活性化合物的基质时,会产生显著的好处;可以掩盖异味和气味,保护生物活性化合物免受环境影响,并允许控制释放。在这个意义上,本综述将集中分析用可食用涂层进行包封以结合生物活性化合物的潜在用途,解决直接应用的缺点。
