PERIS TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS, USING NEW MOLECULES OF NATURAL ORIGIN SUCH AS ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES (AMP), TO ACTIVATE MATERIALS USED FOR THE STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION OF MEAT PRODUCTS AND DAIRY PRODUCTS. THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECT OF POLYMER-BASED MATERIALS FUNCTIONALISED WITH INDIVIDUAL AMPS OR THEIR SELECTED MIXTURES, AGAINST SPOILAGE OF FOOD AND ASSOCIATED PATHOGENS, IS A VALUABLE TOOL TO INCREASE THE SHELF LIFE AND SAFETY OF THESE PRODUCTS, REDUCING AND PREVENTING FOOD WASTE. IN THIS CONTEXT, PERSIA PROPOSES THE REALISATION OF AN ACTIVE PACKAGING FORM (PA) THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE APPROACH IN WHICH ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS OF NATURAL ORIGIN ARE USED TO COVER POLYMERIC MATERIAL WITH THE AIM OF CONTROLLING THE GROWTH AND PROLIFERATION OF UNDESIRABLE MICRO-ORGANISMS IN THE ALIME.
