What Are The Top Trends In The Edible Films And Coatings Industry?
Key players within the edible films and coatings market are channeling their efforts towards the creation of pioneering solutions, such as plant-based edible coverings, to advance food storage methods, lengthen the lifespan of products, and to serve the growing customer demand for healthier and sustainable packaging alternatives. These innovative plant-derived coverings are thin layers used on food items to offer various advantages. For example, Apeel Sciences, an agricultural service provider from India, unveiled a plant-based edible covering named Apeel or Edipeel, specifically for ASDA and Tesco supermarkets in the UK in February 2022. The unique covering is composed of lipids and glycerolipids extracted from fruits and vegetables. It forms a delicate barrier that prolongs the freshness of produce by reducing water loss and providing resistance to oxidation. This artistic step aims to address food wastage, with Tesco forecasting approximately 400,000 tons of fruit are thrown out yearly because of decay. The covering will be tested on produce for instance Jaffa oranges, and lemons in a few select stores, keeping an intent to gather customer experience to evaluate its impact on the flavor and quality of the product.
