IntroductionWhy use food packaging?
• Roles of food packaging: Containment Protection Communication Convenience
• Prevention of food loss! (huge environmental impact)
• Food packaging ↑
Increased use of raw materials

Introduction
Interest in bioplastics among stakeholders in the food industry
BUT lack of knowledge on their performance hinders succesfull introduction
AIM of this research: can biobased plastics replace conventional plastics as a food packaging material?
Barrier properties

Barrier properties
• O2 + CO2 barrier: MAP (modified atmosphere)
Delay or inhibit growth microorganisms Delay chemical degradation
• H2O barrier: Avoid dehydration (fresh products) Water permeation (e.g. loss of crispness)

Barrier properties of biobased plastics
Cellulose Starch PLA PHAO2-barrier + + - + H2O-barrier - - ± ±
Barrier properties can be improved by:Use of multilayers Use of coatings (e.g. metal layer)
Monolayer Multilayer Without coating With coating

Selection of materials
Selection was made by participating (food) companies
Selection based on the technical specifications of their current conventional material
• Good performance
• No need for testing (expensive and time-consuming)
Many biobased plastics

Storage tests
• Packed in biobased package(s) and in conventional package
• Follow up during shelf-life:
Gas headspace (if MAP) Microbial growth Lipid oxidation Color Sensorial evaluation (taste, odor, color,…)

Conclusions
Biobased plastics with lower barrier properties than the current packaging materials can also guarantee the quality during shelf-life (overpacking?)
Case-by -ase approach is needed!
