Thesis Summary
Oleò. Analisi e applicazioni di trattamenti barriera ai grassi a base di sostanze naturali per
imballaggi alimentari cellulosici
Italian
Prof. Barbara Del Curto
Paper-based packaging, intended to be in contact with food, require specific properties to ensure
food safety. In order to obtain greaseproof paper, packaging industry commonly uses treatments
and processes that compromise food packaging recyclability.
The renewed interest in the development of sustainable packaging solution, the always more
pressing environmental standards, speed up the research of CIPACK to the exploration of
innovative natural-based coatings as barrier to oil and grease. Experimental tests, conducted in
the laboratories of Politecnico di Milano, confirmed the good repellent properties of the naturalbased coatings.
After laboratory analysis, have been investigated possible applications for the developed
treatments: compostable food containers represent a sustainable alternative to common
packaging used for frozen food, ready-to-eat meals or fast food. The aim of the analysis is to
support designers in selecting greaseproof paperboard for food containers. This study also
represents a connection between the scientific research and Expo Milano 2015: in fact, one of
the main theme of the exposition is food safety, food security, and the quality for sustainable
development.
