“Wetting Enhancer” Pullulan Coating for Antifog Packaging Applications

Active Packaging for Food Applications - A Review

The purpose of food packaging is to preserve the quality and safety of the food it contains from the time of manufacture to the time it is used by the consumer. Recently, the demand for safe and high quality foods, as well as changes in consumer preferences have led to the development of innovative and novel approaches in food packaging technology. One such development is the active food packag...

Synthesis of LDPE/Nano TiO2 Nanocomposite for Packaging Applications

Improving barrier properties through the use of nanocomposites is an important area of research, especially for the food packaging industry. In this work, Titanium dioxide (TiO2 )/Low density Poly Ethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites were synthesized as the oxygen barrier layers through the co-extrusion process. The Oxygen permeability of the nanocomposite with 4% of TiO2 decreased for about 16% comp...

Preparation and Characterization of a Bionanopolymer Film for Packaging Applications (a Case Study: Walnut Packaging)

The carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film were prepared by adding three levels of nanoclay particles (0.5, 1 and 3%) using solution casting evaporation method. The incorporation of nanoclay on mechanical, water vapor permeability, and oxygen barrier properties of CMC/PVA-based film was investigated. The best result was obtained through the nanocomposite film contain 3% nano...
