Bottles can be eaten

Future edible vodkas have been developed by scientists who have developed a material used to make bottles that are not only edible, but also taste like the drinks they contain.

This product uses biotechnology combined with food ingredients with the goal of allowing the user to peel off or eat the whole bottle.

Experts at Harvard University tested orange juice with an orange-flavored thin film, a tasty Spanish-style packet of grapefruit and a wine-tasting package.

However, they still can not make a complete bottle. However, scientists believe they will produce a bottle in the shortest time possible.

Dr David Edwards of the research team said: 'In the coming time, we will put these products into restaurants and supermarket chains as a novelty test.'

The material used in this experiment is called WikiCells , which is made up of food ingredients and an organic polymer.

The scientists hope the product will help rural residents create their own agricultural packaging and recycle plastic bottles that are not environmentally friendly.

"Our idea is to create a bottle based on natural origin. People in remote African villages can make their own bottles without using plastic. '
