Abstract :

Iran's saffron is known as red gold on international markets and one important factor in thiscompetition is the role of desirable coverage packaging in reducing the load of microbial loadsand increasing the allocated shelf life. This study is based on examination of 10, 5 gram, packsof saffron available in Tehran's well known chain stores that underwent microbial testing basedon 2198 standard of Iranian standard society for the element of covers without Nano coatings astestifiers for the comparison purpose. Finally one of the 3 applied coatings the, cover with 4000ppm percents was able to reduce the microbial load up to 98 percent. The results gained fromsecond phase of the study were based on the non- release of Nano particles into the packagedfinal product which went under Nitrino test which showed 0 percent amount of release.
