In order to evaluate present and future retail packaging systems, it is necessary to review past fresh red meat (FRM) packaging systems. Prior to 1967, whole beef carcass shipments were traditionally made to retail outlets where carcasses were fabricated into retail items by butchers in individual stores. The "boxed beef" concept was introduced in 1967, dramatically changing beef processing, di...

this paper reviews the possible effects determined on polymeric food packaging films by the simultaneous application of pressure (p) and temperature (t) in high pressure pasteurization and sterilization treatments of packaged foodstuffs. both theoretical modeling and experimental issues are discussed. in fact reversible and irreversible effects that could occur in single film as well as in mult...

Eukaryotic mRNA is processed by enzymes and packaged with proteins within nuclei to generate functional messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles. Processing and packaging factors can interact with mRNA cotranscriptionally to form an early mRNP. Erroneous mRNP formation leads to nuclear retention and degradation of the mRNA. It therefore appears that one function of cotranscriptional mRNP as...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the new trends in plastic additives, with special focus on developments in food packaging materials. Design/methodology/approach – Phenomenological research has brought awareness and increased insight into the role of various plastic additives on the packaging of foods. The approach is based on the current trends and the industrial protocols for ...
