The atmosphere surrounding the food also influences the shelf life of processed foods. For some processed foods, a lowering of oxygen is beneficial, slowing down discoloration of cured meats and powdered milk and preventing rancidity in nuts and other high fat foods. High carbon dioxide and low oxygen levels can pose a problem in fresh produce leading to anaerobic metabolism and rapid rotting o...

The eradication or the limitation of microbial contamination into food industries and dedicated warehouses may be reduced by means of a multidisciplinary and integrated management approach. In the ambit of the so-called ‘Hazard analysis and critical control points’ plan, different instruments and procedures may be applied with interesting results. The reliable selection of raw ingredients, incl...

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...

Food packaging material is the primary element of food industry; therefore, its consideration to sustain quality and safety crucial. Several food-grade materials have been utilized for commodities a long time. Still, these negatively influence safety, shelf life, texture, quality, flavors commodities. Concurrently, biotechnology introduces various techniques produce several edible i.e. polysacc...

background and objectives: microbial spoilage of juices and industries related with alicyclobacillus are considerable international issues. this spore-forming bacterium causes changes in juices odor and taste. the isolation and identification of alicyclobacillus contamination in juice producing and packaging industries has an essential role in the prevention and control of this type of spoilage...

Biofilm formation can lead to problems in healthcare, water distribution systems, food processing and packaging, industrial manufacturing, marine industries, sanitation. These microbial communities proliferate on biotic or abiotic surfaces, are responsible for human disease decreasing production efficiency service equipment life many fields. The of biofilm starts with the attachment bacteria su...

Food packaging is defined as a co-ordinated system of preparing food for transport, distribution, storage, retailing, and end-use to satisfy the ultimate consumer with optimal cost (Coles et al., 2003). Food packaging is an essential part of modern society; commercially processed food could not be handled and distributed safely and efficiently without packaging. The World Packaging Organization...

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is one of the recent buzz world in the industrial enterprises in India for the enhancing the capabilities of their supply chain management through sustainability. Industries are more interested in profit making due to sustainable supply chain activities rather than to save environment. Thus in this research, we aim to study the various activities involved in...

The expected functional life of polymers and polymer-based composites subjected to a set of environments and stress conditions is often determined by issues of aging, dimensional stability and durability. The complexity of these issues leads not only to a need for further research developments but also improved methods of application of current physical and chemical knowledge to the design, man...

Objective(s): Antibacterial and antifungal nanocomposites are widely used in food packaging and pharmaceutical and medicine industries. Among the polymers of these nanocomposites, epoxy coatings are commonly used for health and industrial applications. The present study aimed to synthesize CuO nanoparticles using the chemical reduction method and characterized them by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vi...
