Ainia Presents new materials that help to warn alimentary infections in the frame of the Congress EHEDG

Treats of the incorporation of nanopartículas in materials used in the installations of processed of foods like plastics (type PP or PET) and steel inóxidable, to which award them properties bactericidas that allow to act against pathogenic bacteria, that could be harmful for the human health, and brake his growth. The integration of these nanopartículas in the materials has realised through technicians of injection, extrusion and coating.

By means of proofs in vitro, in pilot plant and analytical technicians, the investigation has checked that the nanopartículas MgO, ZnO, CaO, Ag and CuO, integrated cheese cheese in this type of materials, have properties biocida “able to destroy, counter or neutralise the activity of harmful organisms as And.coli Or the 'Listeria Monocytogenes' among others”, according to ainia.

Like this, “deficiencies like the presence of dead zones, weldings of bad quality, learning of cracks on the surfaces, etc. can be the origin of pollution of the products with sanitary ware consequences”. Thus, the hygienic design “contributes to the minimisation of the risk of pollution of the product”.
