Corrugated carton packaging is superior to recyclable plastic packaging (RPC) in preventing microbial contamination. The agricultural products packaged in corrugated boxes are fresher when delivered and can be kept for a longer period of time.

Why corrugated carton packaging is superior to recyclable plastic packaging in preventing microbial contamination

The latest research done by Professor Rosalba Lanciotti and his research team at the Department of Agriculture and Food Science, University of Bolongna, Italy, shows that:

Corrugated carton packaging has a shelf life of 3 days longer than plastic packaging for plastic packaging and fruit. When microorganisms are on the surface of corrugated cardboard, the death rate is faster due to the lack of water and nutrients between the fibers. On the contrary, microorganisms on the plastic surface Can survive longer.

Dennis Colley, chairman and CEO of the Fibre Box Association (FBA), said, "This study is very important, and it reveals why corrugated carton packaging prevents bacterial growth."

Corrugated carton packaging traps microorganisms between fibers and keeps them away from vegetables and fruits, making corrugated carton-packaged produce fresher and can be stored for longer. ”

Corrugated boxes can be used to find more excellent performance through scientific means

The significance of this research is to enhance the confidence of the paper industry in exploring the superior performance of corrugated carton packaging through scientific means.

Focus on pathogenic microorganisms that can cause foodborne illness, as well as causative microorganisms that can affect the shelf life and quality of the fruit. Microorganisms were inoculated on the corrugated board surface and the plastic surface, respectively, and then the number of microorganisms was observed as a function of time. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that after a few hours of inoculation, the corrugated board surface is much less contaminated than the plastic surface.

The corrugated carton packaging surface traps microbial cells between the fibers. Once the cells are trapped, the researchers can see how the cells dissolve: cell wall and membrane rupture—cytoplasmic leakage—cell disintegration. This phenomenon occurs on all of the target microorganisms studied (pathogenic and causative microorganisms).
