COFUND-MSCA 801342
Breu explicació del projecte / Brief explanation of your project
This project aims to develop an innovative plant-based polymeric film with high water vapour and oxygen barriers, which is suitable for food packaging applications. The research will assess the biopolymers’ compatibility to obtain a homogeneous matrix, capable of containing active compounds (antioxidants and antimicrobials), controlling their release into the product and preserving their nutritional and organoleptic qualities over time.
The biopolymers used will be isolated from plant-based materials and/or agricultural waste, in order to add value to renewable rural resources and/or agricultural by-products.
