Combining the characteristics of China's abundant resources, large population, and the fact that food consumption ranks first in the world, vigorously developing edible paper-type food packaging has been favored by numerous scientific research institutions and manufacturers, and has become a promising food packaging industry.
However, no matter how you say, edible paper-type food packaging is still in the stage of development in many domestic food packaging. Its outstanding advantages have not yet been recognized by the majority of consumers, and the scale of production has not yet formed, and there is no one in management. Set of scientific methods. Based on market research, the author put forward the following suggestions.
First, we must stick to prudent development in order to prevent it from proceeding. Edible food packaging, in a nutshell, has two meanings. First of all, it should be positioned in the food, it has the same food value as the food packaged; Second, it is a packaging, with the same quality and preservation features as other materials. On the other hand, the edible paper packaging has the function of food protection because it is a package, but because it is itself a packaging, it cannot protect itself. This presents us with a very challenging problem. Surface paper-based food packaging how to prevent pollution?
Therefore, the author believes that edible food packaging can only be suitable for internal packaging of food before it can solve its own pollution prevention problems, and is not suitable for external packaging, especially for foods such as cold drinks, meats, and jellies, and uses edible paper packaging. Inner packaging can play a good role in quality and freshness. In other words, in the current situation, the use of edible paper-type food packaging due to high technical content, not a large number of promotion, can only be used in some foods. Otherwise, there will be a situation in which there will be a lot of complications and promiscuity, which will directly harm the interests of consumers.
Second, establish scientific research institutions and formulate unified standards. Since edible paper-based packaging has a very optimistic development prospect and is deeply loved by consumers, it should be studied and developed as a very important food packaging research project; and it is also organized by the Packaging Technology Association and the Food Industry Association. Jointly develop and select some popular foods for daily consumption as research and development projects, and strive to produce results in a short period of time for market promotion.
In addition, China's famous food industry groups such as "Erie", "Mengniu" and "Wahaha" can also take the path of joint development by scientific research units, universities and colleges and enterprises. At the same time, formulating a set of domestic standards for edible paper packaging that is our country's own as soon as possible is also a top priority.
At the same time, it is necessary to widely publicize the knowledge of edible paper-based food packaging to consumers, enhance the ability of consumers to identify, and realize the combination of socialized supervision and professional supervision, and obtain good supervision benefits.
Third, strengthen supervision and strengthen management. At present, China's food industry is developing at a very fast pace. However, due to the wide range of food industries and the scattered sales, participation in counterfeiting and sales is particularly high.
Edible paper-type food packaging is more likely to be counterfeited by unscrupulous traders because of its dual nature of food and packaging. Therefore, it is particularly important to strengthen supervision and strengthen management.
