Packing is an important factor for foods to develop shelf life. According to researches well and right packed foods have longer shelf life, maximum quality and safety.

Bread is mostly consumed food product in almost all countries. People have tried find solutions to extend bread shelf life for years. The average shelf life of bread is three days in room temperature.

According to study in the University of Zaragoza and Artibal S.A an active package based on cinnamon essential oil and micro perforated polypropylene may extend the shelf-life of bread by a week. Also the same researchers recently reported in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry that solid wax paraffin incorporating cinnamaldehyde-fortified cinnamon essential oil could be an efficient antimicrobial coating for paper or board packaging to inhibit white bread spoiling.

According to researchers’ report; although the product is not in the market,  there is big demand from bakers.
