Objective(s): Biodegradable film is widely used because it is free from synthetic substances and does not lead to environment pollution. This study aimed to prepare and characterize biodegradable sago starch films loaded with Carboxymethyl Cellulose nanoparticles. Methods: Sago starch films were prepared and plasticized with sorbitol/ glycerol by t...

Sustainable packaging design plays a strategic role across several industries. Using the Italian market as perimeter of analysis, this paper aims to broaden knowledge corporate attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors toward sustainable along entire supply chain. A mixed-method approach was used, integrating qualitative quantitative data collected from 33 in-depth interviews survey on sample 462 c...

the packaging industry by promoting the production capability has an important role in the development of different economic sectors. empowerment of packaging industry increases the competitiveness of other economic sectors. on the other hand, packaging industry has an important role in increasing the national income and employment. these factors cause the governments to pay special attention t...

Six different composite packaging materials were tested with the trades’ practice of polythene bags in storing smoked catfish for a period of six months. The thickness of the packaging materials ranges from 0.23 to 046 mm with water and oil absorption rates of the packaging materials varies from 0.23 to 10.00 and 0.28 to 10.857 glcm2/mm respectively. The impact resistance weight also varies fro...

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...

Moving from trend to tradition, more and more manufacturers are adding human machine interface (HMI) to their manufacturing process. A good HMI will increase the productivity of the operator and machine, increase uptime and assist in providing consistent product quality. In this system, HMI is developed to monitor the whole process and control the functions of process. The system is designed an...

with the development of beverage industry and expansion of the markets , packaging of these products has also come out of its traditional form and intelligent packaging has been applied gradually. different types of smart packaging are used in the beverage industry such as gas release packaging which by gas production causes a good texture and is used in order to create a creamy milk coffee. in...

Microbial modification of starch with Ophiostoma spp. was investigated, with the purpose of developing a novel packaging material for the food or pharmaceutical industries. Various starch sources, such as tapioca, potato, corn, rice and amylopectin were tested as raw materials. The initial screening demonstrated that tapioca and potato starch had better performance for biopolymer production. Th...

Flow sensing in hostile environments is of increasing interest for applications in the automotive, aerospace, and chemical and resource industries. There are thermal and non-thermal approaches for high-temperature flow measurement. Compared to their non-thermal counterparts, thermal flow sensors have recently attracted a great deal of interest due to the ease of fabrication, lack of moving part...

The purpose of this study was to establish the validity and reliability of a hydrostatic weighing method using total lung capacity (measuring vital capacity with a respirometer at the time of weighing) the prone position, and a small oblong tank. The validity of the method was established by comparing the TLC prone (tank) method against three hydrostatic weighing methods administered in a pool....
