ActCoFISH is a multidisciplinary project that unites expertise in food science, biopolymer materials, microbiology and sustainable production to achieve a scientific breakthrough to food packaging. Project is focused on active packaging technology that sustainably upgrades abundant biopolymers into high-value active edible coatings for fresh fish.
- Project is described through 7 scientific goals and is focused on the development and characterisation of new designed biopolymer formulations for edible coatings. Coatings made from natural resources and enriched with natural bioactive compounds will be optimised to preserve the quality and inhibit microbial spoilage of fresh Adriatic fish.
- Natural biopolymers serve as an ideal protective carrier of natural active compounds from Mediterranean plants and by-products of their processing.
- ActCoFISH addresses the global problem of unnecessary food losses through the responsible use of natural resources.
