Food packaging is one of the most important processes in the food production chain that ensures its quality and durability. As food is often exposed to microbiological contamination that impairs its healthiness, newer packaging technologies increasingly turn to more environmentally friendly and biodegradable packaging materials that prevent food spoilage and preserve its nutritional properties. Thus, antimicrobial edible films are increasingly recognized as the packaging of the future for food packaging. In addition to ensuring the quality and microbiological correctness of the product, edible packaging materials extend the shelf life of food and do not create waste. The aim of this work was to examine the antimicrobial properties of dried dandelion root tea as a potential packaging material for the production of antimicrobial edible films. Its antimicrobial properties against selected types of yeasts and molds were tested. The results showed that the dandelion root, although rich in biochemical composition, does not show inhibitory properties on the tested types of yeasts and molds.
