Abstract
Oil resistant package material and packages prepared therefrom have cyclodextrin incorporated in or adjacent to a film layer of the package to reduce the permeation of oil through the package material, and particularly out of the package. The film layer comprises a polymer that coordinates or bonds with a cyclodextrin compound in an amount sufficient to reduce the permeation of oil through the film layer as compared to a like film layer that does not contain cyclodextrin.
Claims6
A product package comprising
- a) a closed package comprising a layer that is a film layer comprising a polymer capable of coordinating or bonding with a cyclodextrin compound;
- b) an oil or fat containing food product comprising a migratable cyclodextrin compound disposed within the package;
- wherein upon migration of the oil or fat in the product to the package, cyclodextrin is transported to the film layer in an amount sufficient to coordinate or bond with the film layer to reduce the permeation of oil through the package as compared to a like product package that does not have a cyclodextrin compound disposed within the package.
