Abstract
Packaging is one of the major factors for maintaining the quality of food. Ever greater requirements for the quality of packaging, stemming from increasing demands for food safety, demand the research of new packaging materials. Biopolymers are materials of natural origin that can be used as packaging material. They are primarily characterised by biodegradability and environmental friendliness. Biopolymers can incorporate added active substances, which in turn make such biopolymers active packaging. Active substances may include natural substances, such as polyphenolic compounds. Biopolymers with added polyphenolic compounds are tested as packaging for both meat and meat products. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of biopolymers with added polyphenolic compounds tested for packaging of meat and meat products.
