Imagine a natural layer evolving an apple. A layer that you can not see, that increases the apple's quality, durability and in the end it indicates if the apple if safe to eat. This new project, still in development, is the Nanopacksafer. Several universities from Portugal and Spain are in this project as the INL (Nanotechnology International Institute) situated in Braga, Portugal.
The main ingredients of this product have a natural source. For example polysaccharides extracted from leguminous plants, specifically from it's seeds, or chitosan form shellfish shells.
It is expected that this field of business, packages for food industry, reaches the market value of 20 billions of dollars in 2012.
The principal investigator of this project is Dr. José Teixeira professor in Biological Engineering at University of Minho and principal investigator of several other projects.
If you want to know more take a look in this
presentation from one of the co-workers in this project.
