The aim of this study was to evaluate the properties of essential oils packed in foils derived from different plant sources used in Edam type cheese on selected parameters (total viable count of microorganism, coliform bacteria, micromycetes, sensory parameters and instrumental colour). Essential oils have antibacterial and antifungal activities against microorganisms. However, the concentration of these substances applied in cheeses should be considered carefully because of their possible negative influences on sensory parameters. Mixture of the essential oils (clove/cinnamon/thymol in a 1:2:1 ratio), three concentrations (3.9 %, 6.6 %, 9.0 %), respectively mixture of the essential oils (eugenol/thymol/cinnamon in a 1:1:1 ratio), three concentrations (0.10 %, 0.19 %, 0.24 % as a 5% solution in limonene in a dry coating) were used. Samples wrapped in polystyrene dishes were stored in the refrigerator at 3 - 6 °C. Analyses were made after 48 h, 168 h (144 h), 216 h (240 h) respectively. Taste is the most affected by presence of essential oils. The effectiveness of the film with the mixture A seems to be more effective in eliminating microorganisms. Negative sensory changes were observed at higher concentration. Based on the results, the tested foils seem to be promising materials suitable for packaging of cheese.
