Mold on breadMold on bread The authors of the study, scientists fromUniversity of Zaragoza, note that earlier they tried to use a variety of methods to combat mold: ultraviolet irradiation, sterile packaging, various chemicals. In their opinion, the best method may be to use "active packaging", which itself "attacks" the fungus. Scientists have made several versions of "active packaging" from waxed paper soaked in cinnamon oil in different concentrations. They then "infected" some varieties of mold with a fresh one and left it for several days, wrapping one piece in plain paper and the other in "active" paper. The results showed that a package containing only 6% cinnamon oil suppresses the growth of mold by 96% ... This paper retained its anti-fungal properties for more than ten days. Recall also that in July a group of Taiwanese scientists reported that they had discovered the properties of a repellent in cinnamon oil - according to them, this substance, even in small quantities, effectively destroys mosquitoes.
