Reduction of packaging waste has been a European target for more than 40 years. However, packaging is indispensable for protecting what it carries. In this study, an analysis of the European regulations on packaging and of their resulting effect on recycling performance was performed by means of a literature survey and the national results published in the European Database, Eurostat. Based on ...

Three standard foodstuff plastic packaging namely polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinylchloride (PVC) were evaluated for management of lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). Resistance parameters in packaging were recorded as punctures, holes, penetrations, sealing defe...

In November 2011, Australia became the first country in the world to legislate for “plain packaging” of tobacco products. As of December 1, 2012, the packaging of tobacco products sold in Australia must be a standard, drab dark brown color; and the printing of tobacco company logos, brand imagery, colors, or promotional text on that packaging and on individual tobacco products is prohibited. Wh...

It is a difficult issue to support interactive image processing software in grid environment, which requires special mapping methods over grid architecture. Interactive service packaging, mapping of interactive interface mechanism are reviewed in heterogeneous grid architecture. Grid Service Automated Packaging and Generating System (GS-APGS) for image processing software is designed to provide...

BACKGROUND A table of the approximate ranges of inspired oxygen delivered at given oxygen flow rates is often given on the packaging of oxygen masks. A study was carried out to check the inspired oxygen concentration given by one of the new masks, which has been designed to be used with or without the Venturi attachment as a result of the proposal to use it without the Venturi attachment as a g...

Higlights ► Interval analysis is proposed to study error propagation in MAP modelling for 3 fresh produce ► Results are compared to a probabilistic Monte-Carlo approach ► Low computational costs to estimate upper and lower O2 and CO2 limits ► MAP optimisation generates robust solutions for O2 and CO2 permeabilities, expressed as fuzzy sets ► Experimental efforts should focus on produce physiolo...

In recent years, antimicrobial packaging has attracted much attention from the food industry because of the increase in consumer demand for minimally processed, preservative-free products. Antimicrobial packaging can be considered an emerging technology that could have a significant impact on shelf life extension and food safety. Many classes of antimicrobial compounds have been evaluated in fi...

Active food packaging involves the packaging of foods with materials that provide an enhanced functionality, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant or biocatalytic functions. This can be achieved through the incorporation of active compounds into the matrix of the commonly used packaging materials, or by the application of coatings with the corresponding functionality through surface modification. ...

The migration of packaging material constituents into food is a product of the interaction between the food and packaging material. This phenomenon is of importance because some migrating substances may be toxicologically carcinogenic and endanger the consumer safety. Polystyrenes are used in many food-contact applications for the packaging of aqueous-based, fatty and dry foods. The correlation...
