100% sterilization!!! New plastics become the "natural enemies" of bacteria

According to a recent study by the University of Georgia's Family and Consumer Sciences, bioplastics made from proteins such as protein and whey have significant antibacterial properties that can be used in both medical and food packaging. The researchers tested three non-traditional bioplastic materials – protein, whey and soy protein – that were used to replace conventional plastics and found to reduce the risk of contamination. For example, when a protein (protein in egg white) is mixed with a conventional plasticizer, it exhibits strong antibacterial properties. “Experiments have found that there is no bacterial growth on this plastic,” Alex Jones said. "Bacteria cannot survive on this plastic."

“If you put it in a landfill, this pure protein will break down,” he said. “If you bury it in the soil, the plastic will disappear in a month or two.” The study will next provide an in-depth analysis of the potential of this protein-based bioplastics in biomedical and food packaging to kill bacteria or prevent their spread to 100% antibacterial effects.
