Reducing packaging waste – mechanical characteristics and network parameters of the gelatin-based thin film for cruciferous vegetables packaging

Reducing packaging waste – mechanical characteristics and network parameters of the gelatin-based thin film for cruciferous vegetables packaging

The role of the materials used for packaging is to protect inner content from external, mostly negative, factors. Besides being safe, and with good mechanical properties, these materials need to align with other consumers’ needs and demands, being both attractive and authentic, while at the same tim...
