Antimicrobial Delivery Systems for Foods and Beverages
This invention provides novel, food-grade antimicrobial delivery systems for foods and beverages, and especially for clear beverages, to control microbial spoilage without adversely affecting the sensory products of such foods and beverages. The delivery systems comprise complexes formed between a food-grade cationic antimicrobial biopolymer and a food-grade anionic biopolymer. Appropriate amounts of such complexes in solution can be easily introduced into food systems.
