High resistance of bacteria to disinfecting agents has led to the development of alternative antimicrobial technologies. It is well-known that chitosan itself is an antimicrobial agent, and chlorophyllin is watersoluble food additive (E140) which in the presence of light exerts antimicrobial properties. Complex of these two antimicrobials can serve as background for the development of edible active biodegradable packaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial efficiency of photoactivated chlorophyllinchitosan complex against food pathogens and microfungi in vitro and on the surface of germinated wheat.
