PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY R&D PROJECTS
Title Description
2017-2018 Completed Projects
Enhancing the Competitiveness of Fresh Fruits and Semi-Processed Agricultural Products through the Application of Appropriate & Sustainable Packaging (JICA project) The project focused on developing packaging technologies for eight fresh and semi-processed agricultural products: a) fresh/frozen durian, b) fresh/ pres-processed sweet potato, c) smoked fish, mangosteen, d) broccoli, e) cauliflower and f) cutflowers which aims in reduction of postharvest losses.  It was done through participation in trade fairs, assignment of Technical Working Groups per commodity and technical assistance (Japanese experts dispatch, equipment and trainings) from Japan.
Shelf life Extension of Bakery Products as Relief/Mitigation and Combat Foods Through the Application of Appropriate Packaging Technology  The project improved the shelf life of bakery product to at least 6 months through the application of innovative packaging technology
   
   
   
   
   

The ITDI is among the instrumentalities that laid the groundwork, in the early years, for S&T in the country. Today, it is one of the DOST's RDIs (research and development institutes) and undertakes multidisciplinary industrial R&D, technical services, and knowledge translation or technology transfer and commercialization. ITDI harnesses know-how in new technology and product innovation, and through the years, has emerged as a credible and reliable industry and government partner in accelerating growth and development in the country.
