The Disposal of large quantity of plastic cover may cause pollution of land, water bodies and air. The proposed concrete which is made up by adding plastic in concrete may help to reuse the plastic cover as one of the constituents material of concrete, to improve the certain properties of concrete. The properties of concrete as varying percentages of plastic will test for compressive strength a...

Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhi) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) have been responsible for an increasing number of outbreaks linked to fresh produce, such as baby spinach leaves, in the last two decades. More recently, antimicrobial biodegradable packaging systems have been attracting much attention in the food packaging industry as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastic packaging. T...

The nonbiodegradable and nonrenewable nature of plastic packaging has led to a renewed interest in packaging materials based on bio-nanocomposites (biopolymer matrix reinforced with nanoparticles such as layered silicates). Bio-nanocomposite films based on soy protein isolate (SPI) and modified montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared using melt extrusion. The effect of different type (Cloisite 20A ...

Plastic packaging dominates the US grocery industry. This realization raises question of whether consumers are purchasing food that is not wrapped in conventional plastic but environmentally friendly packaging. quantitative study adapted Theory Planned Behavior to investigate relationship between consumers’ socio-demographics, purchase intention, and behavior regarding The survey was distribute...

Packaging constitutes roughly 46% of global plastic waste (1). In the European Union, packaging increased by 9.4% (6.7 million metric tons) in decade after 2008, reaching 77.7 tons 2018 (2). Globally, total value was USD917 billion 2019; it will likely increase to USD1.05 trillion 2024 (3). Countries such as UK and China are making an effort curtail waste, but make real progress, governments mu...

The sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), is an extremely destructive pest of packaged consumer food products. The beetle is not believed to chew directly through packaging materials, but to use openings or flaws in damaged or improperly sealed packages to gain entry. We investigated the behavioral mechanisms by which the sawtoothed grain beetle infests packages with flaws. S...

The environmental impacts of global food supply chains are growing with the need for their measurement and management. This paper explores the operations of a global supply chain for extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) according to a life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. The LCA assessment methodology is applied to determine the environmental impact categories associated with the bottled EVOO life...

The objective of this study was to investigate the adhesion of isolated spoilage bacteria to packaging materials used in the food industry. Microorganisms were isolated from commercial fruit-flavored mineral water in plastic bottles with flocks as a visual defect. The Gram-negative rods were identified using the molecular method through the amplification of a partial region of the 16S rRNA gene...

The packaging sector is an important industry. Packaging used as a material to protect goods from external contamination. There are various kinds of packaging, one which often plastic packaging. In there the BPA materials in manufacturing process. This content has potential be released and mixed with packaged food drinks. While that can cause diseases such cancer. study aims determine seen Law ...
