Scientists have developed a biodegradable material with considerable potential for application in food packaging

Soon, packaging for take-away foods might be completely based on local, sustainable materials instead of fossil-based products

Films consist of natural ingredients, are safe, and water soluble

Aimed at pharmaceutical manufacturers, the new technology incorporates a 3D sensor to provide volumetric measurement to assess the integrity of a range of pharmaceutical solid dose and flexible barrier packaging

Unlike Superglue, the new eco glue develops its full strength in a preferred direction, similar to "peel and stick" adhesives

MU scientists find BPA alternative, bisphenol S, could negatively affect both a mother's placenta and potentially a developing baby's brain

The antimicrobial lining of the film is comprised of a pullulan-based biopolymer produced from starch syrup during a fermentation process, which is already approved for use in foods

New study shows that such foods sold in pouches have lower nutritional value than products sold in jars and other packaging

However. researchers say the levels consumed by breastfeeding infants are unlikely to be a health concern

In a recent paper, researchers demonstrated they could keep ready-to-eat macaroni and cheese safe and edible with selected nutrients for up to three years
