Abstract: A multilayer film has a first layer and a second layer. The first layer comprises an additive, a binder, and a crosslinking agent. The additive is a flavor, fragrance, colorant, antimicrobial agent, antioxidant, chelating agent, and/or odor absorbent. The binder is a polysaccharide and/or a protein. The crosslinking agent comprises a compound with at least two carbonyl groups. The second layer comprises a non-water-soluble thermoplastic polymer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene. Each of the additive, binder, and crosslinking agent are present throughout a thickness of the first layer. Preferably, the first layer is coated onto the second layer, which is preferably a non-water-soluble thermoplastic polymer, e.g., polyolefin, polyamide, and/or polyester.

Abstract: A packaging film includes a heat sealable layer coated with one or more antifogging agents disposed in a binder, an antiblocking agent, and no more than about 800 ppm slip agent. The heat sealable layer includes a polymer that includes mer units derived from ethylene while the binder includes a polymer that includes mer units derived from an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and/or vinyl acetate monomers. The antiblocking agent can be in any layer of the film where it provides the desired effect. Such a film, as well as packages made therefrom, can be used to package a variety of products, having particular utility with respect to moist products.

Abstract: A packaged product comprises a cooked meat product surrounded by a multilayer film which, in turn, comprises a first layer and a second layer. The first layer comprises a flavor and a binder. The binder comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of polysaccharide and protein. The second layer comprises a non-water-soluble thermoplastic polymer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene. The flavor and the binder are present throughout the thickness of the first layer. The first layer is between the second layer and the cooked meat product. Also disclosed is a process for preparing a packaged food product comprises cooking the meat product and thereafter packaging the meat product in the multilayer film as described in the packaged product.
