Packaged The 7th Global Summit – 25-26 June 2018 - Hotel Okura Amsterdam, Ferdinand Bolstraat 333, 1072 LH Amsterdam, Netherlands
The summit is a great networking event and explores the latest innovations in interactive packaging, nanotechnology and active packaging. The event will also discover the advances being made in materials for enhanced product safety and security.
"Agricultural by-products for shelf life extension"– (day 2 - June 26) 13.55-14.30.
Agricultural by-products for shelf life extension
- Sustainability and food security are global priorities and innovations in packaging technology can make a significant contribution the achievement of these goals.
- Processing of agricultural by-products can provide new materials which may have applications in areas as food ingredients or in packaging.
- Initial work has demonstrated that a range of novel materials including nanofibers can be produced from agricultural by-products.
- The properties of these new materials such as anti-microbial activity and anti-oxidant capacity will be evaluated and their potential application for shelf life extension.
- Comparisons with other natural nanomaterials derived from agricultural waste will be made. Future research strategies and applications to the packaging of food or other materials will be discussed
Shelf Life & Stability Testing
Deterioration due to microbial activity can be a major threat to the safety of food and has an impact on the quality, so strict regulations and guidelines need to be adhered to.
Fera Food Testing
With a large range of testing abilities, our multi-disciplinary approach gives an overall view of any food issue you may be facing, providing you with the complete information you need to make the strong decisions needed to address these issues.
Food Contact Materials Testing
Fera is the UK National Reference Laboratory for Materials and Articles in Contact with Food. Food contact materials testing is used worldwide to make sure that food is not contaminated by any of the products it comes into contact with.
