Description
The research activity concerns the study of innovative materials starting from biopolymers for food packaging. Within this subject, the main research lines are the development of edible film/coating films and biodegradable films with specific barrier properties and antimicrobial activity, as a strategy to extend food shelf-life. The experimental activity is focused on the study and optimization of formulation and process variables while considering the mechanical, surface and barrier properties of the materials.
