Brazilian scientists recently developed a new type of food packaging material that can extend the shelf life of foods and reduce the use of preservatives.
The plastic film containing an antimicrobial agent can gradually release a preservative into the food within a certain period of time, which not only effectively guarantees the quality of the food, but also solves the problem that the consumer intake of more preservatives at the beginning of the shelf life. Researchers used bread and sausages to make satisfactory results. Currently, researchers are developing natural preservative packaging materials.
