In this paper the results of testing two cellulose-based films
(Natureflex™N913 and N931) for their applicability as a packaging
material (under the form of pouches) for different food products
(French fries, ham sausage, filet de saxe and grated cheese) are
described as well as the results of PLA trays in combination with a
Natureflex™N913/PLA film and/or a Paper/AlOx/PLA film as a topfilm
(rumpsteak, ham sausage and filet de saxe). The goal of this research
was to evaluate the influence of the use of a biobased packaging
material on the quality and shelf-life of different MAP-packed food
products compared to their current conventional packaging materials
(at laboratory scale) aswell as to evaluate their industrial-scale applicability
by testing on packaging machines in production environment
