Abstract
strong, safe, shatterproof and recyclable packaging material with an inherent barrier used for wide range of product applications. Tlie purpose of study is to assess the
shelf-life of silver nanocoated (Glycyrrhiz aglabra) PET bottles of tomato puree for a period of ten days against enteropathogenic bacteria such as E. coH (MTCC40),
Salmonella enteric (MTCC3219) and Shigella (PSGIMS & R). Tire maximum inhibition of antimicrobial activin- of silver nanoparticle coated PET bottles
of tomato from 0th day to IC' day, showed that 56.8.3 percentage against E. coli (MTCC 40), 67.67 and 87.67 percentage against Salmonella enteric (MTCC 3219)
and Shigella dysenteriae (PSGIMS 6e R) respectively. Hence, different food packages can be tried out with coatings of silver-nanoparticles which could improve the
shelf-life and antimicrobial property of food packages.
