Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / type of packaging | | Dutch term or phrase: kraakfolie | Used for vegetables (chicory in this case). Only picture I can find of this is a bag made of what looks like bubble wrap, yet author defines kraakfolie as "technische term voor een folie die zich na het vacuümtrekken helemaal om de groente sluit."
Apparently keeping chicory at a high temperature (+12°C) and exposing it to light causes the yellow leaf edges to turn green.
Hetzelfde onderzoekscentrum heeft onlangs ook ontdekt dat witloof in flow pack beter houdbaar is. In deze verpakking liggen de kroppen naast elkaar in een kraakfolie. Bij hogere temperaturen en blootstelling [aan licht] trad groenverkleuring minder snel op. |

| | PP foil | Explanation:
volgens de ref.:
"PP heeft het grote voordeel dat het kraakt. Daardoor heeft de consument een grotere versbeleving van het product en legt hij minder het verband met kunststof." |

| Grading comment Checked with the client, but the only response I got was to be sent the published version of this text, where "PP film" had been left unchanged. Silent confirmation then. PP film actually gets more hits than PP foil in this context, but it hardly seems fair to give someone else the points when your helpful answer pointed me in the right direction in the first place. Thanks, everyone!
