Question

Which of the following statement is false about edible/biobased packaging material when compared to traditional packaging material?

(a) Improved product flavor

(b) Resistance to oxygen permeability

(c) Low water vapor permeability

(d) More sustainable

The question was posed to me during an online interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Edible, Biobased and Biodegradable Food Packaging Materials in chapter Edible, Biobased and Biodegradable Food Packaging Materials of Food Packaging Technology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Low water vapor permeability

Easy explanation: Edible / biobased packaging material has a higher water vapor permeability than traditional packaging material. However it is better than traditional packaging material since it helps improving product flavor, has a higher resistance to oxygen permeability and is more sustainable.
