Active paper "changes the condition of the packaged food product to extend its shelf life." The university's researchers "found that solid wax paraffin incorporating cinnamaldehyde-fortified cinnamon essential oil is an efficient antimicrobial coating for paper or board packaging." Madrid-based manufacturer, Rylesa-Repsol-YPF, produced the paper for the study.
