France creates a consortium on food security and wood

February 17, 2010

Through a network of sectoral cooperation, France has created a consortium that will promote research on food security and the benefits sensory of the use of containers, packaging and pallets of wood in contact with foodstuffs, as reported by FedemcoSpanish Federation of container of wood and its components.
The Consortium consists of Gaulish in the wood sector participating following business organizations: Siel / Grow France (lightweight container), Sypal (pallets), Seila (industrial packaging) and the national timber Federation (FN-Bois), supported at European level by Grow international.
The project is financially supported by 'france-bois-forêt', and has technical assistance from different universities, laboratories and French technological institutes.

The project will assess the State of bibliographic knowledge and work in progress on the subject, as well as the scope of the use of wood packaging, to focus on the study of models of interaction between the wood and foodstuffs based on cases and real life cycles, for their subsequent protocolización in the laboratory.

The project is based on the premises that avoid categorizing a priori on the hygienic properties of wood, including the consideration of different species, and that is important to take into account the environmental conditions of the material.
However, recent studies have shown that the wood has a behaviour equal to or more hygienic than other packaging materials, and that its porous structure (as a result of absorption, penetration and drying) reduces the survival of the bacteria on the surfacepresenting less risk of cross contamination. In addition, it has been shown that some species such as Pinus sylvestris have bactericidal properties that improve its hygienic qualities.
