Cel
The project develops novel technologies for production of value-added food packages and composites based on renewable materials by enzymatic and chemo-enzymatic methods. The generic goal of the project is to develop widely applicable novel technologies. Enzymes needed in the fiber modification will be selected, characterized and produced in pilot scale with an optimized strain. The adhesion of fibers with biopolymers will be improved by direct radical binding, hydrophobisation or bridging by using enzymatic and chemo-enzymatic methods. The effects will be analyzed. The most promising fibers will be converted in laboratory scale with biopolymers for load bearing composite materials and food packaging materials. Case studies with prototypes will be used to demonstrate the potential of the materials in composite and food packaging materials and to evaluate their economical and environmental competitiveness.
