Resveratrol-Coated Container for Oxidation Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional packaging materials are not suitable for long-term storage of oxidation-sensitive consumable goods, leading to quality deterioration and reduced shelf life due to interactions between products and packaging materials, especially during global transportation and storage.
Innovation Solution
A container with an inner coating layer comprising resveratrol, which acts as a protective barrier against oxidation and aggressive substances, maintaining the quality and longevity of consumable goods by preventing degradation and decomposition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional packaging materials (metal, plastic, paper) are used for storage, then weight is reduced and manufacturing is easier, but product quality deteriorates and shelf life is reduced due to oxidation and aggressive product interactions
Solution Approach 1:
A coating layer comprising resveratrol is applied to the inner surface of the container to act as an intermediary barrier between the consumable good and the container material. This coating layer prevents direct interaction between aggressive products and the packaging, while also providing antioxidant protection against oxidation, thereby maintaining product quality and extending shelf life without compromising the advantages of conventional packaging materials.
2Stability of the object's composition
If no inner coating is used, then device complexity is reduced and manufacturing is simpler, but product stability is compromised during global transportation and storage
Solution Approach 1:
The inner surface of the container is modified by applying a coating layer with specific chemical properties (resveratrol-containing). This parameter change in the container structure provides enhanced antioxidant protection and product stability during storage and transportation, without significantly complicating the overall device design or manufacturing process.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The resveratrol-coated container effectively suppresses quality deterioration and extends the shelf life of consumable goods, enhancing their stability and integrity during storage and transportation, while minimizing the need for preservatives and reducing the risk of spoilage.
Implementation Method 1
a coating layer comprising resveratrol... acts as a protective barrier against oxidation
Implementation Method 2

AI summary
The present invention proposes a container comprising a consumable good, wherein the inner surface of the container is at least partially coated with a coating layer comprising resveratrol, wherein the consumable good is a non-beverage consumable good. A process for preparing a container for a consumable good, in particular food or comestible, a personal care or a pharmaceutical product is also provided. The process comprises the steps of: providing a container having a container wall having an inner side facing the inner space of the container; providing a coating layer on the inner side of the container wall, the coating layer containing resveratrol, and the further step of filling the container with the consumable good, wherein the consumable good is a non-beverage product.
