Edible, Biodegradable Food Packaging - Headline Science

- Most foods come wrapped in plastic packaging. This type of packaging creates a lot of waste and aren't that great at preventing spoilage. Researchers are now developing a biodegradable film made from milk proteins to hopefully solve these problems.

So what you are saying is I can have my bag of milk, in a bag of milk? Awesome
ikr soo cool
no it cant, the bag would dissolve because of the liquid inside
@@alexandres5293 If you add a natural wax layer to the bag, it would not dissolve. Wax is a water-resistant material.
Your comment reminded me a situation how you can prepare one ingredient in numerous methods/techniques and have it all on one plate without eating just one thing. :)
These are called Blate Papes in America now, and they're mostly used for swallowing powdered herbs and supplements. Much easier than capsules and hold up to 20x as much as one.. Pretty dope stuff!
They don't show the end product because milk protein-based "plastic packaging" is a natural base--i.e. it doesn't dissolve, it disperses into little chunks they don't want to show on video.
There’s this candy called White Rabbit, that uses this edible kind of plastic and is milk-flavored lol; existed for a long time
There is also a need for bioplastics that are heat resistant for cooking food under vacuum in plastic bag in an oven or in water at low (~60*c) température.
This isn't new.. The problem doesn't seem to be finding ways to make bioplastics. The problem seems to be getting them out there and in widespread use.
Then make a small business (restaurant) and sell YOUR own product in biodegradable materials. Your customers will appreciate it and you will not have to deal with trash around your property
what do you do to keep the casein film from spoiling and developing molds?
Thanks, very informative
If the single serve is placed into a larger plastic casing to protect it from getting dirty, would that not defeat the purpose?
No. At least all the individual packaging is reduced. That's better than nothing. And eventually, we'll find a solution for the overall packaging too.
I mean it could literally just be packaged in a paper casing?
what machine are they using to make the film ??
Hey American Chemical Society, try to spray a layer of natural wax on your biodegradable plastic film. I think it would make your biofilm, water-resistant and last longer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax
They should add WAX in the milk with the citrus pectin to make the bioplastic film, water-resistance ! Add wax in the ingredient.

Shoutout to my sophomore chem teacher
Yes. Many people would not be able to use these products.
Lactose ? + vegans ?
They'll be wrapped on dairy products, so it's ok.
can i know where to order this kind of plastics to manufacture my product?
can someone tell me what machine she's using in 0:26 ?
What is the name of the tool for casting milk? that is at the 19th second
answer please
That's not milk that's the casein solution.
When did the USDA become Du Pont
Hello, is this solution in the market yet? what is the latest update?
Sustainable? Really? How much milk will need to be produced just to make plastic wrapping?
ow much milk is wasted daily by industries that could be re-used in this way?
well it's a lot better than using oil.
Umm it’s milk not plastic wrapping duh

If they are edible are they safe aka healthy? Aka bacteria..infections of viruses..dirt..etc. 🙄
PLA In name its self a acid how it doesn't effect food in packaging
wtf how does it spin?
The little bar is a magnet coated in teflon. There is another magnet spinning under the hot plate.
Interesting Wow 🎉
1:11 "I used the milk to block the milk"
The thing is... It costs more than conventional plastics...
How much does it cost, though?
caseine is bad for digestion
I paid for the whole packaging so I'm going to eat the whole packaging.
So the goal was to reduce plastic waste by wrapping food items in a milk protein that for sanitation purposes has to be wrapped in plastic...
It's a bit confusing, but I think they meant for single serve packaging you are going to eat and not for those you plan on disposing of.
So it's not covered with dust and dirt.
It's really not confusing but someone didn't think out the problem they're trying to solve.
The problem is plastic waste.
You don't solve that problem by wrapping the wrapper that's designed to replace plastic in plastic.
Furthermore they try to show this as being convenient because it dissolves in water and you can toss in the whole thing rather than just opening it and pouring the contents.
Where they are failing is that in order to make it "convenient" they have to wrap it in plastic to keep it from getting dirty so now you have to open the plastic just so you can toss a water soluble protein bag in hot water.
If you have to open the plastic anyway to toss in the bag why not just get rid of the plastic and tell people to open the new bag and pour the contents.
The real problem is common sense is not common anymore.
I wonder if researcher here sometimes eat it out of boredom 😂
GOD...please help them
This sounds horrible. Using animal proteins to create a plastic alternative would increase the CO2 imprint created by the cowmeat & dairy industry. We should instead focus more on plant or bacteria-based solutions. Also, what about people with a milk-protein intolerance/allergy? Here in the netherlands, they are already using bacteria-produced, recyclable plastic for some products in the supermarket. I hope this trend continues!
Milk protein is a waste of the industry.
"It is a byproduct of the manufacture of cheese or casein "

Can use soya milk for this product?
To prevent soggy cereal? I like it a bit soggy, I hate crunchy cereal. I'm probably in the minority though.
Yuuuck
@@crappyaccount not like super soggy, I just don't like it crunchy and dry tasting
I know what you mean. Especially cocoa pebbles. Not only does it need a slightly soft exterior. It needs to assimilate with the milk. And the milk needs to be ice cold!
I've got to be honest hear. Using milk does not help at all making it eco friendly.
If you are using non-food milk it is certainly eco-friendly.
Its still Better than plastic
I think they can use some biotechnology in future to produce mass amount of Carson from genetically modified organisms like bacteria or fungi.
Hey, I like soggy cereal!! Anybody onboard with me?

This isn't sustainable the amount of cows needed. This is ridiculous. Get a plant based source. As the environmental impact from needing so many more cows would be ridiculous. You haven't thought this through properly.
I thing this initiative is also possible thanks to many milk alternatives on market today. So there’s a little bit more space for cow milk to be used this way.
ha lol rip all the cows in the world
Excuse me, but how are you going to call milk sustainable?
