Biodegradable and foodgrade coatings and waxes for application on cheese

Objectif



Cheese making involves many complicated microbiological and chemical process steps. In the final steps a polymer coating is applied to prevent mould growth and to regulate water release. For final conservation the cheese is covered by paraffin wax. The polymer coating is currentlv produced from essentially non-biodegradable chemicals such as paraffin from crude-oil. This project aims at research leading to development of fully bio-degradable, foodgrade biopolymers and waxes based on renewable resources. The new coatings must be compatible with existing cheesemaking facilities. The new system offers an innovative, fully bioctegradable and foodgrade alternative to the nowadays applied system. It also increases tlexibility in the final stages of the cheese mal;ing process and facilitates cheese labelling. Such flexibility is much needed to stimulate ongoing and future efforts to promote cheese as a alternative, healthy diet component in Europe and other countries with currently low cheese consumption. Development of new standards and best practices will assist in reaching this target. At the same time it offers to European cheesemakers the option to produce higher quality specialty cheese in case bulk cheese production may shift to countries outside the European Union.
