S'pore, US scientists create bacteria-killing, biodegradable food packaging material - Levin - 28-12-2021
SINGAPORE - Perishables such as fruit and meat are often at the mercy of harmful bacteria, especially when left for a long time outside the refrigerator.
To salvage such food items, scientists have created a biodegradable packaging material that can kill harmful bacteria and fungi that sprout on fresh produce.
The packaging also extends the lifespan of strawberries by up to a week. Berries kept in ordinary boxes stay fresh for only four days.
The material - which resembles plastic - was created by researchers from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the United States.
