This project will underpin an UK-Malaysian "Research and Innovation" bridge to accelerate the deployment of knowledge and the exploitation of research that will a) improve the preservation of food during transport/ storage between the producer and the consumer (in urban settings), b) reduce urban solid waste from plastics going to landfill, and c) improve health and well being of the population by reducing risk of communicable diseases transmitted by foodborne pathogens in meat or vegetables. To achieve these objectives, the project will develop innovative sustainable packaging with improved shelf-life performance. The packaging system will be based on the use of cost-competitive, presently un-used agri-waste and the use of a new concept of active packaging; a packaging that will reduce/eliminate pathogen microbial growth, increasing shelf-life of packaged food (meat and vegetables). This will reduce food loss across the supply chain. The packaging system will be designed with agri-waste (palm empty fruit bunch), setting-up a platform for other subsequent broader uses, and will contribute to minimising waste-to-landfill problems. The approach will develop a tool to reduce problems of food poisoning, as food poisoning. Consumption of meat/vegetables/ready meals spoiled with pathogen micro-organisms is considered to be the most common source of food poisoning both in the UK and in Malaysia, reflecting a more general case both in Europe and Asia. The bioactive molecules will be produced using herbs, sourced from the UK/ or from Malaysia.This proposal focuses on the issue from both the UK and Malaysian perspective and practices within the industry that will also have wider international relevance and impact.

该项目将支撑英国-马来西亚的“研究与创新”桥梁，以加速知识的部署和研究的开发，这将a）改善生产者和消费者（在城市环境中）之间运输/储存过程中食品的保存， b) 减少城市固体废物进入垃圾填埋场，以及 c) 通过降低肉类或蔬菜中食源性病原体传播传染病的风险，改善人口的健康和福祉。为了实现这些目标，该项目将开发具有改善保质期性能的创新可持续包装。该包装系统将基于使用具有成本竞争力、目前未使用的农业废物以及采用活性包装的新概念；一种能够减少/消除病原体微生物生长、延长包装食品（肉类和蔬菜）保质期的包装。这将减少整个供应链的粮食损失。该包装系统将利用农业废物（棕榈空果串）进行设计，为其他后续更广泛的用途建立一个平台，并将有助于最大限度地减少废物填埋问题。该方法将开发一种工具来减少食物中毒问题。在英国和马来西亚，食用被病原体微生物破坏的肉类/蔬菜/即食食品被认为是最常见的食物中毒来源，这反映了欧洲和亚洲更普遍的情况。生物活性分子将使用来自英国/或马来西亚的草药生产。该提案重点关注英国和马来西亚的观点以及行业内的实践问题，这也将具有更广泛的国际相关性和影响力。
