Effect gelatin film containing different concentrations of black cumin on microbial properties of chicken meat at the refrigerated condition

Chicken meat is a highly perishable food at refrigerated condition. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate the effects of gelatin films containing different concentrations of Black cumin essential oil (BCEO) (0, 0.5 and 1 % v/v) on microbial properties of chicken meat during storage at refrigerated condition for 9 days. Based on results, the final microbial population of chicken meat wrapped with gelatin films containing BCEO decreased at least 1 log CFU/g compared to control (p<0.05). In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that integration of BCEO to packaging material could be an interesting approach in the development of active food packaging material
