1. 1. Sustainable food packaging based on polyhydroxyalkanoate

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Safana Al-Ashor; [2024]
   Keywords : Biopolymers; Sustainable food packaging; Circular economy; Biobased and biodegradable materials; Food packaging; Processing technologies; Food quality; Shelf-life;

   Abstract : The Norwegian Food Research Institute (Nofima) and the University of Borås worked together to develop this project. The commonly used packaging materials pose a serious threat to the environment, as they are produced from nonrenewable crude oil and cannot decompose naturally. READ MORE

3. 2. Environmental tool evaluation and databased benchmarking of sustainable packaging materials for Micvac technology

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Author : Uvejs Preza; [2023]
   Keywords : sustainable packaging; ready meals; in-pack microwave pasteurization; evaluation tool; environmental impact; material investigation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In recent years, microwave applications in the food products have attracted increasing attention by the food packaging industry and the consumers due to their convenience, low energy and water usage and short processing time giving them a sustainable advantage over competing technologies. In-pack pasteurization represents one of the fastest developing technologies in preparing and delivering safe and high quality ready-to-eat meals. READ MORE

4. 3. Formulation and characterisation of novel edible-packaging for fruits and vegetables

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Lola Sutton; Katerina Papa; [2023]
   Keywords : algae; edible packaging; carrageenan; cucumber; REL; oxidative stress; antioxidants; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. READ MORE
