emulsifiers

By reducing the permeability of the packaging to gases and moisture, emulsifiers help maintain the quality and freshness of packaged foods. Emulsifiers influence the barrier properties of the packaging material itself. Some emulsifying agents have been explored for their potential to enhance the barrier properties against oxygen and moisture in biodegradable films. This application is particularly promising in the development of sustainable packaging solutions, where improving the performance of biodegradable materials is key to their success and acceptance in the market. The use of emulsifiers can facilitate the incorporation of essential oils or antioxidants into packaging films, providing added value through antimicrobial properties or extended shelf life.
