Abstract
A tannins‐rich chestnut extract was used to enhance the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of chitosan‐based film materials. The favorable mechanical properties of the novel material enabled its application in the preparation of the sachets that were used for packing and storage of filled fresh pasta. The fresh pasta aging progressed in conventional refrigerated storage conditions of 8 ℃ with 60 ± 2% relative humidity in the absence of light for 60 days. The rapid moisture mobility between a starchy food and sachets during the first nine days of storage induced retrogradation of the fresh pasta, whereby total phenolic content show dependency on moisture throughout the shelf life. Active components within the sachet prevented microbial growth on the food surface during the entire 60 days.
