Mono- and multilayer active films containing lysozyme as antimicrobial agent

This paper concentrates on the release rate of lysozyme, a naturally occuring antimicrobial agent (eg. salvia, mothers milk, raw milk), from multilayer films. A comperision of mono- and multilayer films containing lysozyme regarding their effectiveness on M. lysodeikticus as target organism was also performed. Both aims were met leading to a controlled release of lysozyme with no loss of activity.
