Abstract

Electrospinning refers to a technique for producing nano- and micrometric-scale fibers using high voltage. It is a novel and useful technique applied over the last few years in the areas of food processing and medicine due to its versatility and low cost in the development of ultra-thin structures from natural and synthetic biopolymers, facilitating the incorporation, transport, and release of preservation agents, in particular antimicrobial compounds. These membranes find application in food and medical areas where antimicrobials inhibit cellular processes of harmful biological agents. In that sense, this study provides a comprehensive review of some recent developments and technological aspects of antimicrobial ultra-thin electrospun membranes for potential use in the food and pharmaceutical industry, with a particular approach based on biopolymers.

摘要

静电纺丝是指使用高压生产纳米和微米级纤维的技术。由于其多功能性和低成本从天然和合成生物聚合物开发超薄结构，促进掺入、运输和释放，它是过去几年在食品加工和医药领域应用的一种新颖而有用的技术防腐剂，特别是抗微生物化合物。这些膜可用于食品和医疗领域，其中抗微生物剂可抑制有害生物制剂的细胞过程。从这个意义上说，本研究全面回顾了抗菌超薄电纺膜在食品和制药行业的潜在用途的一些最新发展和技术方面，
