Antimicrobial edible films and coatings include various antimicrobial components that preserve the quality, safety and extend the shelf life of foods. The purpose of this scientific study is to research antimicrobial edible films and coatings for food, reviewing the latest scientific research in the field in the period 2020-2025. The study shows that antimicrobial edible films and coatings have a huge potential for development in the field of food technology, help inhibit various types of microorganisms. An important modern direction in the food industry, which can be successfully used in the field of antimicrobial edible films and coatings for food, is nanotechnology. This modern trend contributes to extending the shelf life of foods, as nano-edible antimicrobial films and coatings improve their microbial resistance.
