This presentation gives an overview of edible packaging and various films and coatings used. It also deals with various fruits and vegetable which can be coated to extend the shelf life. It also deals with the companies manufacturing these kind of innovative packages and their future scope.

2. WHAT IS EDIBLE
PACKAGING ?
Edible food packaging is basically food wrapped in
food.
It takes away the plastic and paper waste that’s
created from packaging foods and instead wraps it
in something that’s edible.
The idea is that once you’re done eating the food
inside the package, you finish off the package too.

3. HAS TWO DIFFERENT
FORMS
1 . EDIBLE COATINGS
Edible coatings are soluble formulations applied on food
surfaces such that a thin layer of edible film is formed
directly on the food surface or between different layers of
components to prevent the migration of moisture, oxygen,
and solute into the food

9. 2 . EDIBLE FILMS
Edible films are thin layers of
edible materials applied on food
products that play an important role
on their conservation, distribution and
marketing.

12. FUNCTIONS OF EDIBLE
PACKAGING
● RETARD MOISTURE MIGRATION
● CAN ENHANCE NUTRITIVE VALUE OF FOOD
● RETARD GAS ( 02 AND CO2 PERMEABILITY )
● RETARD OIL AND FAT MIGRATION

13. MATERIALS USED FOR
EDIBLE PACKAGING

15. ADVANTAGES EDIBLE
PACKAGING
● ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY ( CAN BE CONSUMED /
BIODEGRADABLE
● ENCHANES ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES LIKE
SWEETNESS , COLOR ETC
● INDIVIDUALS PACKAGING IS POSSIBLE FOR FRUITS
LIKE STRAWBERRY

16. DRAWBACKS EDIBLE
PACKAGING
● WRAPS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SYNTHETIC
PACKAGES
● EDIBLE WRAPS WOULD NOT BE USED ALONE WHERE
THERE IS UNSANITARY CONDITION DURING FOOD
HANDLING
● DEVELOPMENT OF OFF FLAVOURS

17. CONCLUSION
● IT IS VERY USEFUL IN OUR DAY TO DAY LIFE
● ALSO BEST OPTION TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
BY SUBSTITUTING POLYETHYLENE
● HOWEVER FURTHER RESEARCHES ARE REQUIRED TO
BE DONE
