When carvacrol is trapped in tiny capsules, it works better at stopping cold-tolerant bacteria in meat than when it's just mixed in, especially after 9 days of refrigeration.

A special plastic wrap made from cassava starch and a natural oil called carvacrol, trapped in tiny capsules, helps keep ground beef from going rancid longer than regular wraps.

80%

The tiny capsules keep the antibacterial oil working longer in the meat, so it doesn’t wear off as quickly as when the oil is just mixed in.
