The objective of the work was to develop active biofilms with microencapsulated citral essential oil and its effect on the microbial load of fresh cheese. Microencapsulation of citral was performed by spray drying and was optimized using surface response methodology (MSR), maximizing yield and encapsulation efficiency (EE) with respect to the citral: dextrin (Ct:Dx) ratio between 1: 5 and 1: 20 and inlet air temperature (TEA) to the dryer between 120 and 200 °C. The physicochemical characteristics and antimicrobial activity to the optimal citral microparticles (MC) were evaluated. The prediction of the surface content of citral (CSct) in microparticles was performed using NIR spectroscopy and chemometric. The active biofilms were elaborated by casting method and optimized with MSR, minimizing the transparency value, opacity and elastic modulus with respect to the sodium caseinate: sorbitol (CS:Sb) ratio between 1: 0.5 and 1: 1.5 and CS:MC ratio between 1: 0.5 and 1: 1.5. Color, mechanical and microstructural properties of the optimal active biofilms were characterized. The cheeses were packed in biofilms with MC, biofilms with free citral and polyethylene bags; their physical, sensory and microbiological profile was evaluated during 14 days at 6 °C. The optimal microencapsulation conditions were 1: 5 to Ct:Dx and 187 °C to TEA, showing acceptable physicochemical characteristics and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. The chemometric models used in the CSct prediction presented R2 between 0.80 and 0.95; artificial neural networks showed better results. The optimal conditions of active biofilms were reached at CS:Sb ratio of 1: 0.91 and CS:MC ratio of 1: 0.95; obtaining color, mechanical and microstructural properties adequate for food packaging. The cheeses in biofilms with MC presented lower microbial counts and better physical and sensory profile, prolonging the useful life of the product up to 14 days in acceptable conditions.
