Halloysite is a natural clay mineral that can occur in nature as rolled-up sheets of aluminum and silica, then called halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). HNTs can be used in food packaging. Loading of HNTs with essential oils and the subsequent incorporation into food packing material can increase the food shelf life, since essential oils have antimicrobial [...]
During 33rd EFFoST conference, NanoPack was one of the EU funded projects participating in the EU Collaboration corner. NanoPack received a lot of attention as many delegates asked about the safety of food products and the environment when using packaging with nanotubes. Additionally, many were also interested in joining NanoPack for future collaboration both in terms [...]
