Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

While vacuum or modified atmosphere packaging materials (made from polyethylene or other plasticbased materials) can improve the stability and safety of raw or processed meat, consumers are demanding more environmentally friendly packaging and more natural products. In this article, recent research is presented that demonstrates the feasibility and commercial application of a variety of bio-based polymers or 'bio-polymers'. These packaging solutions are made from a variety of materials, including renewable/sustainable agricultural commodities.
