Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit for improving food shelf life comprising a sheet-like element component and an alkaline component. The sheet-like element component comprises a particulate filler comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate, a binder and an oxygen scavenger. The oxygen scavenger is a compound comprising at least two phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can be deprotonated by the alkaline component, thus activating the oxygen scavenger. Further aspects of the present invention relate to an activated sheet-like element formed from the inventive kit, a process for the manufacture of a kit for improving shelf life, a process for the manufacture of a sheet-like element component, a process for activating the sheet-like element component, a supply device comprising the activated sheet-like element, a food packaging comprising the activated sheet-like element and the use of the kit or the activated sheet-like element in a food packaging and for prolonging food shelf life.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sheet-like element suitable for use in a food packaging, comprising a coating layer comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate. The coating layer is adapted for being loaded with an antimicrobial active composition, such as an essential oil. The present invention further relates to a coating layer comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate loaded with an antimicrobial active composition suitable for use in a food packaging, as well as to a process for the manufacture of said sheet-like element, a sheet-like element supply device, a food packaging comprising said sheet-like element, the use of said sheet-like element in a food packaging and the use of said sheet-like element for achieving an antimicrobial and/or antifungal and/or anti-mould and/or antifouling effect in a food packaging.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a paper article comprising a paper component having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and/or the second side of the paper component is at least partially coated with a heat-sealable coating, wherein the heat-sealable coating comprises a first polymer comprising units derived from a (meth)acrylate and/or (meth)acrylic acid and/or a salt thereof, and a second polymer, being different from the first polymer, comprising units derived from a) a (meth)acrylate and/or (meth)acrylic acid and/or a salt thereof, and b) an alkene, wherein the first polymer and the second polymer are present in the heat-sealable coating in a weight ratio of 90:10 to 35:65, and wherein the first polymer and the second polymer are present in the heat-sealable coating in an overall amount of at least 50 wt. %, based on the total weight of the coating.
