Conventional soldering typically requires fluxing to promote wetting. Halogenated solvents must then be used to remove the flux residues. While such practice has been routinely accepted throughout the DOE weapons complex, new environmental laws and agreements will eventually phaseout the use of these solvents. Solvent substitution or alternative technologies must be developed to meet these rest...

In the present study the effects on shelf life and sensory acceptance of gamma-irradiated refrigerated poultry breast fillets subjected to modified atmosphere packaging (80% CO2/20% N2 or vacuum) were investigated. After irradiation with 2 kGy, sensory acceptance tests and monitoring of bacterial growth were performed in order to determine the sanitary quality of the samples. It has been found ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the packaging method on the lipid and protein oxidation, and color in aged top round from Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) for 14 d at 4℃. Catalase activity was the highest (p<0.05) in vacuum packaging (VP) treatment during storage, and was higher (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP and 50% Ox-MAP+vacuum skin packaging (VSP) treatments than in other...

Ovine ricotta cheese is a traditional Sicilian dairy product characterised by high humidity and a short shelf life (2-4 days when refrigerated). The increasing demand for fresh food has prompted manufacturers to develop special packaging techniques, such as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), that can extend the shelf life and maintain the organoleptic characteristics of ovine ricotta cheese. ...

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of dietary treatment, packaging, and irradiation singly or in combination on the oxidative stability of broiler chicken thigh meat. A total of 120 four-week-old chickens were divided into 12 pens (10 birds/pen), and 4 pens of broilers were randomly assigned to a control oxidized diet (5% oxidized oil) or an antioxidant-added diet [500 IU of vitami...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the deposition of the hydroxyapatite (ha) coating via the electrophoresis procedure. the ha deposition was performed in an ethanol, methanol, acetone and isopropanol suspension. methanol was found to be the best deposition media. among the different environmental conditions, including the encapsulation of the samples under two vacuum types of pressur...

Effects of dietary α-linolenic acid on the fatty acid composition, storage stability and sensory characteristics of cooked pork were studied. Dietary α-linolenic acid (LNA) significantly (p < 0.05) increased the proportion of n-3 fatty acids and the degree of unsaturation in the neutral lipids and phospholipids. The increases in n-3 fatty acids were observed in the total lipids, triglycerides, ...

JOHNS HOPKINS APL T E lectronic packaging has played a major role in the success of systems developed by the Applied Physics Laboratory. This article briefly chronicles some selected and often unique examples of APL’s electronic packages over its 56-year history. The early APL electronic packages were needed for the famous VT fuze of World War II; in that case, four vacuum tubes and the ancilla...

in this research, the effect of active edible coating based on carbocymethyl cellulose (cmc) containing pomegranate peel extract (ppe) and rese essential oil (reo) and also vacuum packaging (vp) on chemical attributes and microbial quality of packaged pomegranate arils during 15 days storage at 5 °c have been studied. the weight loss was increased by increasing storage time. but all treatments ...
