abstract = {The purpose of active packaging is to extend the shelf life
of food by actively affecting the packaged product or the
ambient conditions inside the packaging'. For this reason,
it should be noted that the packaging market is developing
towards biodegradable active packaging that is safe for the
environment and simultaneously prevents unfavourable changes
in the biochemical composition of products Currently, as a
result of employing moder research methods, novel active
packaging materials are being obtained. It should be
stressed that some of them comprise biodegradable polymers.
Polylactide, chitosan, and a whole range of cellulose
derivatives, such as carboxymethyl cellulose and cellulose
acetate propionate (CAP), count among the most promising
biodegradable polymers used as packaging materials. In the
present project, cellulose acetate propionate was chosen to
be used as a biodegradable polymer because it is a
relatively low-cost polymer derived from renewable
resources. It is well known that microbial incursion occurs
even when the food is packaged'. This can be attributed to
moisture permeability in the packaging materials and other
environmental conditions. Therefore, active agents, like
antimicrobial components and antioxidants, must be
incorporated into the packaging system. These active agents
function by enhancing the stability of the product to a
greater extent. Active packaging systems intentionally
absorb or release substances into food or the environment
the food remains in contact with. Compounds required to
achieve such an effect may be incorporated into the
packaging material. For this reason, compounds characterized
by antioxidative properties, such as quercetin, can be
introduced into a polymeric matrix. Most active compounds,
however, cannot easily be dissolved. Performed analyses
allowed us to establish that non-ionic surfactants, such as
Tween 80, can significantly influence the dissolution and
dispersion of active compounds in a polymeric matrix'. It
should be noted that Tween 80 has been approved for contact
with food by the Food and Drug Administration. As a result,
introducing non-ionic surfactant, namely Tween 80, as a
solubilizer and a plasticizer, along with quercetin as an
active compound, into CAP-based packaging was successfully
accomplished, resulting in unique properties of the obtained
material. Performed analyses allowed to establish that new
materials are characterized by significant antioxidative
properties that can improve the shelf life of storage food
as well as can be used as indicators of biogenic amines and
other nitrogen compounds released during meat spoilage.},
