Edible Food Packaging Trends “Talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes.” — Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Food Packaging Trends Can you imagine going to the store, purchasing a yogurt cup, and then eating not only the contents of the cup but also the cup itself? Edible food packaging is a new innovation that is happening in the trend toward creating healthier and environmentally friendly alternatives. There is an organic food company operating out of California that is working hard to research this type of product. Another example of alternative food packaging is edible films. The Division of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas is working on inventing and patenting several different protein-based films that are capable of serving as a carrier for organic acids capable of inhibiting the growth of three major food borne bacteria, which are E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria moncytogense. Cetere, these packaging films can be used as a vehicle to deliver antioxidants, flavors, nutraceuticals, colors and a number other functional types of ingredients. There are a number of anticipated applications which include meats, vegetables, fruits, seafood, frozen pizza and frozen snacks, cereals, nuts and seeds and much more. This category is proving itself to be at the very cutting edge for when it comes to innovative food packaging trends in this day and age. Tamen, there are a number of challenges that this type of edible food packaging is liable to face. The prices associated with organic foods are tending to be higher when it comes to the supermarket channel. The problem is going to have more to do with supply and demand in this particular instance. According to a study by Arcus, organic food has grown by 20 percent over the period of the last decade. And yet, it is still being perceived as a small business, with only 3.5 percent of the food industry in Canada, or $1.8 billion dollars per year. Small changes in the way of supply and demand are capable of rocking the entire industry. For example, if a company has a 7 percent share and wants to grow to 10 percent, they will need to grow their entire supply chain by as much as 50 percent. The supply chain just does not exist the same way today. The one thing that dissuades customers from buying organic today in most cases is the price of the food. The explosion that private label organic food is experiencing is definitely going to be a good thing. Private labels are finally entering into this market in a truly big way, allowing large scale retail chains such as Safeway as well as Whole Foods to focus on creating organic food products as a differentiator in terms of competition, allowing this category to finally reach out to people who shop based on price. Private label organic is also making organic more acceptable on a broad scale, allowing for a deeper level of society to be penetrated. Finally, organic private label will create additional supply to fuel supply and demand as farmers and suppliers begin to realize that organic food is here to stay and is not just another fad.

Treochtaí Pacáistiú Bia inite “Labhair faoi do mhianta óige, Is féidir leat a ithe, fiú na miasa.” - Willie Wonka agus an Monarcha Seacláid Treochtaí Pacáistiú Bia An féidir leat a shamhlú ag dul go dtí an siopa, cheannach cupán iógart, agus ansin ag ithe ní amháin ar an ábhar ar an cupán ach freisin ar an cupán féin? Tá pacáistiú bia inite ar nuálaíocht nua go bhfuil ag tarlú sa treocht i dtreo a chruthú roghanna níos sláintiúla agus neamhdhíobhálach don chomhshaol. Tá cuideachta bia orgánach ag feidhmiú as California go bhfuil ag obair go crua chun taighde a dhéanamh ar an gcineál seo táirge. Sampla eile de pacáistiú bia eile scannáin inite. Tá an Rannán Talmhaíochta de chuid Ollscoil Arkansas ag obair ar chumadh agus a paitinniú roinnt scannáin próitéin-bhunaithe éagsúla atá in ann freastal mar iompróir chun aigéid orgánacha in ann cosc a chur ar fhás na baictéir trí mhór-bia-iompartha, a E. coli, Salmonella agus Listeria moncytogense. Ina theannta sin, Is féidir na scannáin pacáistiú a úsáid mar fheithicil chun frithocsaídeoirí a sheachadadh, blasanna, nútraiceodaigh, dathanna agus líon eile cineálacha feidhmeacha na gcomhábhar. Tá roinnt na n-iarratas ag súil lena n-áirítear meats, glasraí, torthaí, bia mara, pizza reoite agus sneaiceanna reoite, gránaigh, cnónna agus síolta, agus i bhfad níos mó. Tá an chatagóir chruthú féin a bheith ar thús an-ghearradh le haghaidh nuair a thagann sé chun treochtaí nuálacha pacáistiú bia sa lá atá inniu ann. Mar sin féin, tá roinnt dúshlán go bhfuil an cineál seo de pacáistiú bia inite dhliteanas aghaidh. Na praghsanna a bhaineann le bianna orgánacha bhfuil a raghadh chun a bheith níos airde nuair a thagann sé chun an cainéal ollmhargadh. Is é an fhadhb atá ag dul a bheith níos mó a dhéanamh leis an soláthar agus éileamh sa chás áirithe seo. Dar le staidéar ag Arcus, Tá bia orgánach tar éis fás ag 20 faoin gcéad thar thréimhse deich mbliana anuas. Agus fós, Tá sé á fheictear go fóill mar ghnó beag, ach 3.5 faoin gcéad de na tionscail bhia i gCeanada, nó $1.8 billiún dollar in aghaidh na bliana. Tá athruithe beaga ar an mbealach idir soláthar agus éileamh in ann rocking ar an tionscal ar fad. Mar shampla, má tá cuideachta 7 sciar faoin gcéad agus ba mhaith leis go dtiocfaidh méadú ar 10 faoin gcéad, beidh siad is gá chun fás a gcuid slabhra soláthair ar fad ag an oiread agus is 50 faoin gcéad. An slabhra soláthair nach bhfuil ach ann ar an mbealach céanna lá atá inniu ann. Is é an rud amháin go dissuades custaiméirí ó cheannach orgánach lá atá inniu ann i bhformhór na gcásanna ar an praghas an bhia. Tá an pléascadh go bhfuil lipéad príobháideach bia orgánach a bhfuil sí ag dul a bheith ina rud maith. Lipéid Príobháideacha ag dul isteach ar deireadh isteach sa mhargadh ar bhealach fíor mór, ag ligean slabhraí miondíola ar scála mór, mar shampla Safeway chomh maith le Bianna Iomlána chun díriú ar chruthú táirgí bia orgánach mar dhifreálaí maidir le hiomaíocht, ag ligean chatagóir seo a bhaint amach ar deireadh amach do dhaoine a gcuid siopadóireachta bunaithe ar phraghas. Tá lipéad Príobháideacha orgánach a dhéanamh freisin orgánach níos inghlactha ar scála leathan, ag ligean do leibhéal níos doimhne den tsochaí a bheith threáitear. Ar deireadh, Beidh lipéad príobháideach orgánach a chruthú soláthar breise ar sholáthar agus éileamh breosla mar fheirmeoirí agus soláthróirí tús a thuiscint go bhfuil bia orgánach anseo chun fanacht agus nach bhfuil ach fad eile.
