Noluma debuted the state-of-the-art, patented technology in 2018 to measure and assess packaging’s ability to protect contents within from light degradation.
Noluma International, LLC, Wilmington, Del., announced a new partnership with Honest Dairy, a Guongzhou, Hong Kong-based yogurt producer, to certify its Body Knows probiotic yogurt for the capacity of its packaging to prevent damage caused by light exposure. Body Knows is said to be the first functional yogurt product in China with light protected packaging that protects dairy’s nutrients and taste, while extending the product’s shelf life from 18 to 21 days.
Retail and other indoor lights such as fluorescents and LEDs can degrade vitamins and nutrients in milk, as well as its freshness, overall quality and taste, in as little as an hour, according to research conducted by Noluma.
