Summary

The deterioration of perishable food quality due to an interruption in the cold chain might result in food that is unfit for consumption and potentially dangerous. In order to keep the product cold as long as possible, current research is focused on the development of thermally insulated Phase Change Material (PCM)-based packaging capable of keeping products at low temperatures. In this work, an experimental tool has been developed to characterize the thermal behaviour of food while submitted to a temperature rise. The PCM (tetradecane) was inserted in novel biosourced starch films able to trap small droplets of PCM. The effect of the PCM mass fractions in the film on the preservation time of food has been studied.
