MonoSol says its new F-100 Edible-Ingredient Film can be used to package food ingredients in pouches, offering bakers and other processors a means of using pre-measured quantities and helping them save on processing costs.
As the film is soluble and edible, it reduces the risk of packaging materials contamination food products.
"In addition, these pre-measured units also improve the accuracy of the mixing operation, which helps food processors produce product of consistent quality," the company stated. "Furthermore, controlling dust in mixing operations enhances worker safety and reduces cleanup requirements."
The film has been engineered specifically for the unit-dose packaging of flavours, colourants, dyes, enzymes, vitamin fortifiers, conditioners, yeasts and other types of dry ingredients.
F-100 is made from edible cellulose polymers and dissolves completely in cold water. The film can be converted into bags or wrappers on most conventional packaging machines, MonoSol.
