Abstract This study focused on characterization of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) as contaminants and non-volatile additives in Italian PET bottles, also suggesting potential functional aldehydes scavengers. Several VOCs, such acetic aldehyde (AA), butanal, 3-methyl 1,3-dioxolane, pentanal, hexanal, octanal, 5-hepten-2-one, nonanal, decanal, were identified by Head Space-Gas Chromatography/M...

Interaction of menthol with polyethylene terephthalate bottles during storage time was tested at three different temperatures. Menthol is a mint flavor agent added to yogurt drinks in Iran and is considered as a factor affecting consumer acceptance. Absorption of menthol to packaging material could cause a loss of quality in the final product due to diminished flavor intensity. Tests were done ...

Abstract PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles have progressively turned into a crucial and fundamental piece of an everyday person’s life. Thus the need emerges to course these waste plastic containers their ideal use. To add it, incorporation in concrete composites is promising technique for developing sustainable composite materials which may be applied construction industry. Hence with p...
