Researchers develop odor removing zeolite packaging film

Researchers at the Stockholm University in Sweden have developed pacakging from films of zeolite and nanocellulose, taht can remove the odor emanating from food items, such as durian. The films have the potential to absorb the gas molecules contributing to the smell. The material can also be used to keep odor from clothing at bay. Researcher Lennart Bergström was quoted by Chemistry World as saying: “The new material relies on the well-established adsorption of small gas molecules by zeolites; the key novelty lies in the use of nanocellulose as a binder and matrix. “By using nanocellulose as a matrix and ...
