Abstract: Antibacterial preservative film can effectively inhibit the growth of microorganism on the surface of food, thus can prolong the shelf life and ensure the safety of food. Research progress of the preparation of antibacterial preservative film with different matrix in recent years was summed up. The advantages and disadvantages of different singular-matrix antimicrobial preservative film, as well as the advantages and development trend of the composite antibacterial film were also examined. The antibacterial film plays a versatile role in inhibiting or retarding the maturing process of fruits and vegetables and has functions in air-conditioning, anti-fogging and anti-bacteria. Two preparation methods and two types of antibacterial films are introduced because the current antibacterial films are blamed for the risks in food security and environmental protection
