Onderzoek USDA-Brazilië: biodegradeerbare foodverpakkingen

USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) chemist Atanu Biswas has just returned from one of three trips he will be taking to Fortaleza, Brazil. Biswas was awarded the “Science without Borders” fellowship, sponsored by the Brazilian government to lead a collaborative research team investigating new food packaging based on natural biodegradable plastics.
In Brazil, Biswas is conducting research on modifying polysaccharides such as starches, celluloses, cashew gum and zein proteins for use in food packaging. The team also is exploring high-tech applications of biosensors for things like health and security uses and polymers for electronics (Nieuwsbericht USDA, 19 mei 2015).
