Gallic Acid as an Oxygen Scavenger in Bio-Based Multilayer Packaging Films

Oxygen scavengers are used in food packaging to protect oxygen-sensitive food products. A mixture of gallic acid (GA) and sodium carbonate was used as an oxygen scavenger (OSc) in bio-based multilayer packaging films produced in a three-step process: compounding, flat film extrusion, and lamination. We investigated the film surface color as well as oxygen absorption at different relative humidi...

Fingerprint based bio-starter and bio-access

In the paper will be presented a safety and security system based on fingerprint technology. The results suggest a new scenario where the new cars can use a fingerprint sensor integrated in car handle to allow access and in the dashboard as starter button. Introduction One of the most relevant question in the security world is how identify and recognize people not only in some protected areas w...
