What Are the Key Trends Driving Edible Films And Coatings Market Growth?
Leading businesses in the edible films and coatings sector have been turning their attention towards creating groundbreaking solutions, such as edible coatings derived from plants, with the goal of boosting food preservation, extending product lifespan, and meeting the growing consumer need for healthier and more sustainable packaging options. Edible coatings made from plants involve applying thin layers crafted out of natural plant-derived substances to food items to deliver various advantages. In February 2022, for example, Apeel Sciences, a company based in India offering agricultural services, introduced a plant-based edible coating, aptly named Apeel or Edipeel, particularly for ASDA and Tesco supermarkets in the UK. This inventive coating, comprised of lipids and glycerolipids derived from fruits and vegetables, forms a slim layer that prolongs the freshness of produce by minimizing water loss and oxidation. The initiative is targeted at reducing food waste, with Tesco projecting that approximately 400,000 tons of fruit are wasted each year as a result of spoilage. Products such as Jaffa oranges and lemons in selected stores will serve as the testing grounds for this coating, with the plan to collect customer feedback to evaluate its effects on taste and quality.
