Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, to a biodegradable film and to a package for cheese ripening or preservation, in particular for ripening hard or semi-hard cheese, preferably rind cheese. This method, thanks to the peculiar transmission properties of the film, provides cheese more similar to naturally ripened cheese, with a minor loss of water, due to evaporation, with reduced mold and yeast growth, and without significant flavor, consistency and color deviations.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a versatile gas-barrier multilayer heat-shrinkable thermoplastic film that, by minimal variations in its manufacturing process, becomes suitable for the manufacture of packages, called “Flowpack”, on horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machines, of tray-lidded packages or of shrinkable packaging bags. This film comprises a first outer sealant layer, a second outer polyester layer, an inner barrier layer, no polyamide or polyester inner layer(s), no polyolefin layers positioned between the barrier layer and the sealant layer and at least a polyolefin bulk layer of specific relative thickness placed between the inner barrier layer and the outer polyester layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-odour packaging films and to packages made therefrom. In particular, the present invention relates to anti-odour multilayer gas barrier films including specific anti-odour compounds in at least in one inner layer. These anti-odour films are particularly suitable for food packaging, especially poultry packaging.
