The acylated α-amino acid ester is preferably N-lauroyl-L-arginine ethyl ester monohydrochloride (LAECl), N-lauroyl-L-arginine methyl ester monohydrochloride (LAMCl) or N-lauroyl-L-lysine ethyl ester hydrochloride (LLECl). The film is preferably in the form of a flexible tube and is provided as casing for foods, especially sausage products.
