Food safety and food security remain the major concern of consumers industry. Bacterial contamination continues to be a crucial issue. Smart packaging incorporates both active intelligent components. Intrinsic antibacterial activity, oxygen ethylene scavenging (active) sensing (intelligent) properties metal oxide nanoparticles are in research focus for application smart packaging, especially bi...

There is an interest in the development of an antioxidant packaging fully biodegradable to increase the shelf life of food products. An active film from cassava starch bio-based, incorporated with aqueous green tea extract and oil palm colorant was developed packaging. The effects of additives on the film properties were determined by measuring mechanical, barrier and thermal properties using a...

Bionanocomposite packaging materials have a bright future for a broad range of applications in the food and biomedical industries. Antimicrobial packaging is one of the bionanocomposite packaging materials. Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) is one of the most attractive antimicrobial agents for its broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against microorganisms. However, the traditional method of prep...

Background and Objectives: Antimicrobial active packaging with metallic nanoparticles is used as antimicrobial agent in the packaging of food. This study considers the coliform retarding ability of antimicrobial packaging in ultra-filtrated (UF) cheese. Materials and Methods: Plastic films based on low-density polyethylene containing organoclay (cloisite 30B) and different percentages of Ag an...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify active ingredients present in counterfeit drugs and pharmaceutical preparations seized from the black market among bodybuilders. Preparations in closed or sealed packaging with different batch numbers (n = 74) and two preparations without labels were analyzed. Methods: The identification scheme was based on reversed-phase liquid chromatography w...

Keywords Androgenetic Embryo An embryo with two paternal genomes, and no maternal genome, produced by nuclear transplantation. Chromatin DNA packaged around nucleosomes. The degree of packaging differs between active (euchromatic) and inactive (heterochromatic) chromosomal regions.

Abstract The design of biopolymers matrices for incorporating bioactive compounds represents a valuable technique various biomedical and packaging applications. Propolis has developed as natural byproduct from beekeeping wound healing, food packaging, production current review focuses on the composites prepared propolis with polysaccharides like cellulose, chitosan, starch, alginate, where chem...

Packaging is an integral part of the food industry associated with quality and safety including shelf life, communications from marketing perspective. Traditional packaging provides protection damage storage products until being consumed. also presents branding nutritional information promotes marketing. Over past decades, plastic films were employed as a barrier to keep stuffs safe heat, moist...

A new Room Temperature (RT) 0-level vacuum package is demonstrated in this work, using amorphous silicon (aSi) as sacrificial layer and SiO2 as structural layer. The process is compatible with most of MEMS resonators and Resonant Suspended-Gate MOSFET [1] fabrication processes. This paper presents a study on the influence of releasing hole dimensions on the releasing time and hole clogging. It ...
