Abstract:

In the latest years, several studies were realized concerning about the application of biocidal compound in polymers or ceramics, due to the risk offered to human life by the action of pathogenic microorganisms. Many of these materials, considered special, are directed to medical area and to the food industry, for the production of food packaging. Essential oils (EOs) are aromatic liquids obtained from plant material that have bactericidal activities. One example of essential oil is Eugenol, major component of clove oil. Eugenol is the essential oil compound that better reduce the bacterial activities. This work aimed to study the processing conditions used to incorporate an antimicrobial additive in polypropylene in order to find the processing conditions in which the sample obtained have the best bactericidal properties. To evaluate the effect of the processing conditions in the bactericidal action of the compound it was used an statistical experimental factorial planning. The samples obtained underwent microbiological and physical tests to prove its antibactericidal efficiency. The preview results obtained showed significance to some of the studied variables.
