I got this question in quiz.

I'd like to ask this question from Types of Paper in section Paper and Paper Based Packaging Materials of Food Packaging Technology

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Vegetable parchment paper

To elaborate: Because of its grease resistance and wet strength, it strips away easily from food material without defibering, thus finding use as an interleaver between slices of food such as meat or pastry. Labels and inserts in products with high oil or grease content are frequently made from parchment. It can be treated with mold inhibitors and used to wrap foods such as cheese.
