U.S. use VE as food packaging antioxidant

US researchers recently used VE as an antioxidant in food packaging materials. The use of this antioxidant is characterized by low price and low dosage, which can eliminate or reduce the odor problem of using antioxidants. In the packaging materials for food and beverages, the melt flow index, yellowing index of the polymer can be improved, and the yellowing index can be improved. The product's processability and pigment stability can reduce the problem of polymer volatilization and temporarily prevent the damage of antioxidants. It can also be used in high-temperature processing, reducing gel formation and increasing production. VE can be obtained through natural substances, can also be synthesized, as antioxidants have their own unique, which opened up a new way for the manufacture of food packaging materials.
