The manuscript elaborates on types, properties and functions of films and edible coatings as well as on benefits that result from the possibility of incorporating into their structures antimicrobial agents in the form of organic acids, natural substances, i.e. bacteriocins, antimicrobial enzymes and also plant oils.
