Vezels uit food bijproducten voor food verpakkingen

Researchers at the Université Montpellier II in France compared lignocellulosic fibres obtained by dry grinding of three different solid agro-residues, i.e. wheat straw, brewing spent grains and olive mills, regarding their potential use as fillers in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) for food packaging applications.
Regarding the food packaging applications, PHBV/wheat straw fibres composites appeared as promising materials to reach the requirements of respiring food products, whereas PHBV/olive mills composites would be more adapted for water sensitive products.
An article about the research is published in Industrial Crops and Products.
