Workgroup: Preservation of food quality
Spokesman of IVLV-Project Team: N. N.
Research Institution: Fraunhofer IVV, Freising
Scientific Guidance: Dr. W. Hennlich
Financing: IVLV
Project Duration: 2007 – 2008
Because of rising demands for the hygiene of foods and packaging (EC Hygiene legislation: 852/2004) the food and packaging industry will call increasingly for microbiological guides predominantly for packaging (materials, containers).
A research group of the IVLV, working in the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering, Freising, elaborated the following guidelines for food packaging:
At present the elaboration of Part III of this topic will be prepared: “Microbiological guides for packaging made of paper and board”
Members of the research group are: Producers of packaging and packaging materials, converters, producers of machines and plants, producers of foods and food packers, industrial associations.
Aims of the project:
Innovative contributions of these guides are the progression of the hygienic technique and of practical quality standards for the packaging industry and the total packaging chain.
