Environmental protection of fruit and vegetable cling film superior performance

Recently, the environmental protection, antibacterial, low-cost, edible composite membranes developed by the Faculty of Food Science, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, and the application projects for fruit and vegetable preservation have passed the expert appraisal organized by the Science and Technology Department of Fujian Province. The project has applied for 7 Chinese invention patents, of which 3 have been authorized.

The project took konjac gum as raw material, studied the antibacterial mechanism of the composite membrane and the relationship between the structure and performance of the composite antibacterial membrane after adding plasticizer and barrier agent, and focused on solving the problems of moisture resistance, mechanical strength and the optimal ratio of the composite membrane. The fruit and vegetable cling film produced has the characteristics of environmental protection, antibacterial, degradable and edible.

The composite membrane developed by the project is used to preserve fresh edible fungi, longan and other fruits and vegetables, prolong the shelf life, reduce the loss rate, improve the good fruit rate, the effect is obvious, and the overall performance is better than similar products.
