Food bags that can stop bread from going mouldy developed<\/strong><\/p>\n Bread and cheese may keep for longer thanks to new plastic bags that can prevent mould and bacteria growing<\/strong><\/p>\n Plastic bags that can stop bread and cheese from going mouldy after just a few days have been developed by scientists.<\/p>\n The technology, which uses chemicals that prevent bacteria and fungi from growing, allows food to last for longer.<\/p>\n It could mean an end to throwing away supermarket bread after just a couple of days in the bread bin and cheese that remains mould free for weeks.<\/p>\n Pharmaceutical company Janssen have spent two years developing the technology with plastics manufacturer Symphony Environmental.<\/p>\n They are now in discussions with several food manufacturers and supermarkets to use the bags on their products.<\/p>\n The technology could also be used to make credit cards and the new plastic bank notes more hygienic, according to Symphony Environmental.<\/p>\n Tests have shown that the plastic can increase the shelf-life of bread and cheese without contaminating the food.<\/p>\n Michael Stephen, director of Symphony Environmental, said the plastic also had the potential to do the same for fruit, vegetables and even meat.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cWe have come up with a way of making plastic that is antimicrobial and can be used in food wrapping.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve done a lot of tests on food packaging and it has been shown to reduce the mould that grows on both bread and cheese.\u201d<\/p>\n In Britain around 15 million tonnes of food is thrown away each year, much of it because it has spoiled or gone mouldy.<\/p>\n Bread it among the most wasted food, with households throwing away an estimated 4.4 million tonnes a year \u2013 about a third of all the bread purchased by UK households.<\/p>\n Tesco, Britain\u2019s biggest supermarket, revealed last month that almost half of the bread sold in its stores ends up in the bin.<\/p>\n The technology developed by Janssen and Symphony, which they have called D2P, fixes antibacterial and antifungal chemicals into the plastic.<\/p>\n They have found it can control bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, which can cause food poisoning.<\/p>\n It can also control the growth of fungus that grow on breads and others such as Mucor piriformis, which causes soft fruits to rot, and Penicillium roqueforti, which is found on cheese.<\/p>\n Mr Stephen added: \u201cInitially we anticipate it being used in pipes, door handles and hand rails on the tube, for example, to help reduce the spread of bacteria.<\/p>\n \u201cIt can also be put into man-made fibres so we are running some trials putting it into clothes and trainers to stop the bacteria that can cause them to smell.\u201d<\/p>\n Fonte – Richard Gray, Science Correspondent, The Sunday Telegraph, 03 november 2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Os pl\u00e1sticos d2p provaram inibir o crescimento de mofo em p\u00e3es e queijos.
