FABRICATION OF MICROWAVE POPCORN BAG.

Microwave popcorn bags are industrial oriented product which is being in use in our day today life. Available microwave popcorn bag are performing well in terms of storage and maintaining flavour of food material kept inside them. But these have some serious disadvantages which causes severe health related problems. Their existing manufacturing technology is very costly. So there is great need to find out novel ways to manufacture these bags so that they can be manufactured at lower cost with no health harms. We have tried an attempt to do so, by replacing Aluminum foil used in modern microwave popcorn bags with 10% PVA solution’s coating. We have found that when this coating is done on outer side of envelope then it gives best results in terms of cooking efficiency. We have also find out that optimized cooking time for food material inside such bags is, 3 minutes. Use of PVA solution will definitely reduced cost of manufacturing of these microwave popcorn bags. PVA is not health hazardous and it is currently being used in various food items such as in manufacturing of chewing gum. Use of PVA also eliminates the risk of cancer which was major problem in long term use.
