Environmental Fresh-cut Fruits or Vegetables Packages from Nonwoven Bagasse Fibers
Abstract: Bagasse fiber is a waste product from sugar cane industry, which extracted from sugar-cane with approximately 30% cellulose content, and this fiber provides a natural source for nonwoven industries. Even though untreated Bagasse fibers became more attention because of the increasing concern for disposal of agricultural residuals and the need for enhancing the sugar cane industry’s profitability. However, there are different methods to evaluate Bagasse fibers properties. Using of Bagasse fibers as a food packing materials is a very important trend to improve our lifestyle. There are a lot of packing kinds which making from unhealthy materials like plastic packages. Using Natural materials as a packing material is a global trend especially recycles waste fibers to make new products from these materials. The high relative humidity (RH) of packaged fresh-cut fruits or vegetables that is associated with spoilage due to the microbial growth. Packing materials should protect the products against the microbial growth. Potential antimicrobial compounds, as well as possible applications to preserve fresh-cut produce and future research in this area. The results show that using of packages made from Bagasse fibers ,are more economic, and give more long life for the products which saving in them. Use of waste materials like Bagasse is a good environmental solution that can be degradable naturally.
