Development of an eco-designed food packaging to obtain a crispy effect when cooked in a microwave oven.

Context

Changes in consumer lifestyles have led to a real technological shift in the food industry. Thus, it has been noted among individuals an overall decrease in the time devoted to culinary preparation, leading to an increase in production volume for microwaveable foods. This mode of reheating, although now established, does not at present provide a similar appearance and text effect to foods heated by a grill or oven, thus attracting a great deal of criticism.

Objective
