    • Cooperation between PPGCEM and Embrapa creates new multifunctional packaging from gelatin and nanocellulose PPGCEM’s researchers incorporated cellulose nanocrystals, modified with a pine-derived resin, into gelatin. The result was a stable and edible plastic with antimicrobial, antioxidant, biodegradable properties for food packaging. The technique used by the researchers allowed the use of aqueous solutions and shorter processing times, opening perspectives for production of the new multifunctional gelatin plastics on an industrial scale. The research is the result of scientific cooperation between PPGCEM, Embrapa, and University of Grenoble Alpes.
