The aim of this study was to design and produce biologically active edible hydrosols, which, when applied to the surface of food products, will protect them from oxidative changes, spoilage and growth of microorganisms. Verification of testing hypothesis and the degree of aim realization were performed by assessing a DPPH radical scavenging activity and microbial reduction of experimental hydrosols on the basis of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), chitosan (CH), lysozyme (L) and nanocolloidal silver (NAg). Antimicrobial activity of different concentrations of CH, L and NAg hydrosols against Gram (+) bacteria: Bacilllus cereus and Micrococcus flavus and Gram (−) bacteria: Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens, which exist more often in food, were analyzed using serial dilution test. Total number of microorganisms was determined on meat sample covered by tested sols. Hydrosols containing chitosan and other bioactive substances caused death of each tested microorganism. Lack of chitosan in hydrosols is reflected in a slight inhibition of M. flavus, E. coli and P. fluorescens. Simultaneous influence of CH, L and NAg addition and storage time on total number of bacteria in meat samples with hydrosols was showed. The addition of lysozyme to sols composition significantly increases antioxidant activity.
