Active packaging for extended shelf life of peeled and cut fruit (EASYFRUIT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
Even though the variety of fruits in the supermarket is increasing, their consumption is decreasing daily in Europe. Low fruit intake is responsible for many diseases, obesity among others, and 2.7 million (4.9%) deaths worldwide (85% from cardiovascular diseases, 15% from cancers). Statistics indicate that recommended daily fruit consumption is not meet; it is especially critical for children (57 ...

The Development of a Single-Screw Extrusion Process for Production of Low Density Biodegradable PLA Foam for Thermoformed Food Packaging Applications (PLA-FOAM)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2011,
"450 k t p.a. of foamed polymer packaging (mainly expanded polystyrene, EPS) is consumed in the EU with 34% (150 k t p.a.) used for food packaging. Foam packaging is an essential part of the food processing and transport process to prevent damage and spoilage. However, they are made from synthetic polymers and have low density (50 kg/m3) which makes them difficult to recycle economically. Thus, th ...

"Multi-layer biopolymer films demonstrating selective gas barrier and functional properties suitable for high performance food packaging, derived from integrated bio-refining of sustainable biomass" (BREW-PACK)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2011,
"Conventional biorefineries target production of a single product stream utilising a dedicated crop based feedstock. Such processes offer limited commercial viability, generate significant waste streams and raise ethical and sustainability concerns with regards to the feedstocks used (competition with food crops & genetic modification to improve yield). Paralleling conventional petroleum refinerie ...
