Three major notes on the development of edible paper packaging

Combined with China's rich resources, large population, and the highest food consumption in the world, the development of edible paper-based food packaging has been favored by many scientific research institutions and manufacturers, and has become a promising food packaging.

However, in any case, edible paper-type food packaging is still in the development stage in many domestic food packaging. Its outstanding advantages have not been recognized by consumers, and production has not yet formed a scale effect, and there is no one in management. Set of scientific methods. On the basis of market research, the author puts forward the following suggestions.

First, we must adhere to cautious development to prevent a rush. Edible food packaging, in a nutshell, has two meanings. First of all, it should be positioned in food, which has the same edible value as the packaged food; secondly, it is packaged and has the same quality and preservation function as other materials. On the other hand, edible paper packaging has the function of protecting food because it is packaging, but because it is packaging itself and cannot protect itself, this presents us with a very challenging problem--in the case How does the paper-based food packaging on the surface prevent contamination?

Therefore, the author believes that edible food packaging can only be suitable for the inner packaging of food before it solves its own anti-pollution problem, and is not suitable for outer packaging, especially for cold drinks, meat, jelly and other foods, using edible paper packaging. Doing inner packaging can play a good role in quality and preservation. That is to say, in the current situation, the use of edible paper-type food packaging due to high technical content, should not be widely promoted, can only be used in some foods. Otherwise, it is prone to a rush of ups and downs, directly harming the interests of consumers.

Second, establish scientific research institutions and formulate unified standards. Since edible paper packaging has a very optimistic development prospect and is very popular among consumers, it should be researched and developed as a very important food packaging research project; and by the Packaging Technology Association and the Food Industry Association. Jointly develop and select some popular foods for daily consumption as research and development projects, and strive to produce results in a short period of time and market-oriented promotion.

In addition, China's famous food industry groups such as “Yili”, “Mengniu” and “Wahaha” can also take the path of joint research by research institutes, universities and enterprises. At the same time, it is also a top priority to formulate a set of domestic standards for edible paper packaging that belongs to China as soon as possible.

At the same time, it is necessary to widely publicize the knowledge of edible paper-based food packaging to consumers, enhance the identification ability of consumers, achieve social supervision and professional supervision, and achieve good supervision benefits.

Third, strengthen supervision and strengthen management. At present, the development of China's food industry is very fast, but due to the wide variety of food industry, coupled with the scattered sales, there are also a lot of participation in counterfeiting.

Edible paper-type food packaging is more likely to be counterfeited by some unscrupulous traders because of its dual properties of food and packaging. Therefore, it is especially important to strengthen supervision and strengthen management.
