Purpose Whilst plastic packaging has recently been critiqued for its detrimental effects on the environment, it is largely overlooked in histories of food retailing. This paper presents a historical perspective packaging, highlighting role transforming UK retailing throughout middle to late twentieth century. Design/methodology/approach based an analysis Marks & Spencer Company Archive, sup...

Dabai or Canarium odontophyllum Miq., from the family Burseraceae, is an important indigenous fruit to Borneo Island. However, it is a highly perishable fruit with short shelf life. Postharvest technology such as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) can be used to maintain highly perishable fresh fruit quality and increase its shelf life. There is not much work has been carried out to study effe...

Almost all fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) use plastic-based packaging because it is easy to shape, can be colored, and raw materials are cheap. Aqua bottle uses PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic, the problem occurs when disposable becomes waste, difficult decompose, complex recycling process resulting in environmental pollution even become one of factors climate crisis. presents Life ...

Packaging materials can arise from a wide range of sources and are commonly used for food, medicine, household appliances, items to enclose or protect products during distribution, storage, sale, delivery, use. The choice material (paper, plastic, glass, wood, metal, multi-layer other packaging) be depends on the type properties product, purpose packaging, price.

in order to ensure the safety of parenterals, international pharmacopoeias and national standards have set up stringent guidelines and standards. particulate con- tamination is a potential health risk caused by intravenous injection of particles large enough to potentially clog the small arteries. particles could be produced through manufacturing and packaging or even dispensing of the pharmace...

It is the purpose of this chapter to provide standards for the functional properties of packaging systems used for solid oral dosage forms (SODF) and liquid oral dosage forms (LODF) for pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. Definitions that apply to this chapter are provided in Packaging and Storage Requirements á659ñ. The tests that follow are provided to determine the moisture vapor transm...

This study aims at providing a relatively straightforward methodology to serve as a decision-making tool when more than one packaging solution could be available to a user. It involves a life cycle inventory (LCI) analysis and comparison of three currently available 3.79 l (1 gallon) packaging systems for liquid milk. Two of the primary container types studied use reusable plastic crates (RPCs)...

A novel plastic packaging of a piezoresistive pressure sensor using a patterned ultra-thick photoresist is experimentally and theoretically investigated. Two pressure sensor packages of the sacrifice-replacement and dam-ring type were used in this study. The characteristics of the packaged pressure sensors were investigated by using a finite-element (FE) model and experimental measurements. The...

The modified atmosphere packaging technique was explored in order to investigate the changes of passion fruit quality during low temperature storage. Three different types of packaging condition were used in this experiment. They were (i) P-UAP, a perforated low density polyethylene (LDPE), (ii) MAP-1, a LDPE with an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of 1400016000 cm3/m2∙day∙atm, and (iii) MAP-2, ...
