Active, biodegradable packaging for oily products

The BIOMAT research group has manufactured an active container with natural antioxidant agents for full-fat, fat or semi-fat cheeses, and cheese portions. The packaging makes the product last longer in a good condition, which plays an important role not only in the quality of the product but also in reducing discarded, uneaten food.
The container is transparent and, at the same time, provides an excellent barrier for keeping out ultraviolet light and gases like oxygen. Multilayer laminates are generally used as a barrier against gases, yet the product developed by the BIOMAT group has a single layer, which cuts its cost considerably (News Release UPV/EHU-University, 30 October 2014).
