Evaluación de hongos sembrados en laboratorio para el aprovechamiento y creación de un sustituto del poliestireno expandido

Abstract

La preferencia por el poliestireno expandido en la industria alimentaria se debe a sus propiedades para mantener la temperatura, prevenir fugas, entre otras. Sin embargo, La obtención de la materia prima, el proceso de fabricación y la disposición final generan un impacto negativo significativo en el bienestar humano y ambiental. Por consiguiente, se ha investigado la posibilidad de encontrar alternativas más sostenibles. En este estudio, se evaluó el uso del micelio de distintas especies fúngicas como material de empaque para alimentos. A pesar de los esfuerzos, en la prueba de laboratorio no se pudo construir un material viable debido a dificultades operativas . No obstante, varios estudios han confirmado la viabilidad de este material. Se sugiere realizar más pruebas para explorar su aplicación en el sector alimenticio. (Mican Carolina, Peñuela Nicolas, 2023) The preference for expanded polystyrene in the food industry is due to its properties for maintaining temperature, preventing leaks, among others. However, obtaining raw materials, the manufacturing process, and final disposal generate a significant negative impact on human and environmental well-being. Consequently, the possibility of finding more sustainable alternatives has been investigated. In this study, the use of mycelium from different fungal species as food packaging material was evaluated. Despite efforts, a viable material could not be constructed in the laboratory test due to operational difficulties. Nevertheless, several studies have confirmed the viability of this material. Further testing is suggested to explore its application in the food sector. (Mican Carolina, Peñuela Nicolas, 2023) Ingeniero Ambiental Pregrado
