Biopack - self-sanitising food bio-packaging

随着研究表明，可重复使用的袋子会因重复使用而受到细菌污染，人们对食品包装安全的担忧与日俱增。E-Coli和弯曲杆菌等细菌可能存在于食品包装材料的外部，接触袋子会造成交叉污染。因此，建议使用布袋，并定期洗澡。问题的核心与包装食品外部存在有害细菌有关。即使英国的食品卫生标准很高，鸡肉包装外的弯曲杆菌的比率也从2020年的6%上升到了7%。美国的一项研究显示，51%的“生活袋”中含有有害细菌。该项目将创造一种技术，以防止细菌和病毒在食品包装上存活。用来包装食物的原料外面会有一层杀生涂层，可以迅速杀死任何形式的有机污染。无论污染发生在工厂还是超市，细菌和病毒都会在几分钟内被杀死。

Concerns over the safety of food packaging have been growing as studies have shown that re-useable bags can contain bacteria contamination from re-use. Bacteria such as E-Coli and Campylobacter can be present on the outside of food packaging materials, and contact with the bag will cause cross-contamination. Hence the recommendation to use fabric bags and wash regularly. The core of the problem relates to the presence of harmful bacteria on the outside of the packaged food products. Even with high food hygiene standards in the UK, the rates of Campylobacter on the outside of chicken packaging has risen from 6 to 7% in 2020\. A US study showed that 51% of 'bags for life' contain harmful bacteria.The project will create a technology to prevent the survival of bacteria and viruses on food packing. The material stock used to wrap the food will have a biocidal coating on the outside that will rapidly kill any form of organic contamination. Whether the contamination occurs in the factory or at the supermarket, the bacteria and viruses will be killed within minutes.
