Haalbaarheid van biodegradeerbare verpakking voor roodvlees

Researchers at the University of Milan in Italy studied the effectiveness of polylactic acid (PLA) based packaging to store red fresh meat during its refrigerated shelf-life. Steaks were packaged in PLA trays closed with a lid made of PLA film and in a conventional reference package consisting of an amorphous polyethylene terephthalate/polyethylene (APET/PET) trays and wrapped in plastic film of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). They found that by using a PLA packaging combination it was possible to maintain an optimum red colour together with a reduced content of volatile compounds associated to off-flavours of meat samples. An article about the research is published in Food Chemistry.
