Development of sustainable protein-based paper and paperboard coating systems to increase the recyclability of food and beverage packaging materials (BIO-BOARD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Worldwide about 7 million tonnes of coated paper, paperboard and cardboard (cartons) are currently manufactured annually mainly for food and beverage packaging. The standard coating material currently used is petrochemical-based polyethylene (PE). Typical laminate packaging contains about 20% of this material. Increased political, legislative and consumer pressure to reduce the dependency on fossi ...

WHEYLAYER2: barrier biopolymers for sustainable packaging (WHEYLAYER 2)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"The WHEYLAYER 2 project is based on the WHEYLAYER project that has been recognized by the EC as a star project with high dissemination potential and has received a lot of interest from the packaging industry and its end users. The WHEYLAYER project developed a biopolymer-coating based on pure whey protein isolates for plastic films able to replace currently used expensive synthetic oxygen barrier ...

Development of nanosensors for the detection of quality parameters along the food chain (NANODETECT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

"In NANODETECT, the nanoreaction technology will be used to develop on-line and off-line monitoring systems (sensors) which combine the expertise of sensitive molecular biological processes with the potency of nanotechnology for application in liquid process food streams. The nanosensors will interact with information technology tools and thus contribute to improved quality control systems within ...

Whey protein-coated plastic films to replace expensive polymers and increase recyclability (WHEYLAYER)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"In the food industry, the oxidation of fats, oils, and other food components produces off-flavours, off-colours and nutrient loss. Protection against oxygen is a vital requirement of food packaging. Common synthetic polyolefin films such as PE and PP are excellent moisture barriers, but must be coated or laminated with synthetic polymers including EVOH and PVDC copolymers to provide an oxygen bar ...
