NanoPack to Present Novel Food Packaging for Extended Food Shelf Life at Anuga FoodTec
Summary
The presentation by Dr. Frederik De Bruyn, Business Development Manager of the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, which is part of the NanoPack consortium, will take place on Thursday, March 22 at 10:30 am. A first round of antimicrobial efficacy tests has demonstrated the NanoPack films ability to inhibit mold growth on food-additive free bread. Breads that were inoculated with relevant-mold spores and packed with NanoPacks innovative film insert had no mold growing for up to 27 days post packaging. "We are currently getting ready for the second round of testing with newer and more sophisticated film formats to expand these promising results to other perishable foods and further improve performance." NanoPack intends to develop, scale up and run pilot lines in operational industrial settings to manufacture and validate antimicrobial polymer films that are commercially feasible and accepted by retailers and consumers alike.
