It could also extend the shelf-life of fresh fruit by two to three days<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The water-proof food packaging is made from a type of corn protein called zein, <strong>starch<\/strong> and other naturally derived <strong>biopolymers<\/strong>, infused with a cocktail of natural antimicrobial compounds (see video). These include oil from thyme, a common herb used in cooking, and citric acid, which is commonly found in citrus fruits<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In lab experiments, when exposed to an increase in humidity or enzymes from harmful bacteria, the <strong>fibres<\/strong> in the packaging have been shown to release the natural antimicrobial compounds, killing common dangerous bacteria that contaminate food, such as E. Coli and Listeria, as well as fungi<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As the compounds combat any bacteria that grow on the surface of the packaging as well as on the food product itself, it has the potential to be used for a large variety of products, including ready-to-eat foods, raw meat, fruits, and vegetables<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">03.01.2021<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ref: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bioplasticsmagazine.com\/en\/news\/meldungen\/20220103-Research-team-develops-develop-smart-and-sustainable-food-packaging.php\">www.bioplasticsmagazine.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News- A team of scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Harvard T.H.
