Project: Over- vs. underpackaging what is the optimal barrier?

The new Pack4Food project OptiBarrier, starting on 1st of October 2015, consists of three research packages on the central issue: over- vs. underpackaging.
In the first part the role of packaging as gas barrier will be reviewed looking at the gas barrier of mono- vs. multi-layer materials. The second part will review the role of packaging as light barrier, focusing especially on the evaluation of the interaction between the dynamic O2 concentration and the type/intensity of the light. The third part of the project OptiBarrier will review the role of a functional barrier against migration of, among others, mineral oils and ink components from packaging into food.
