Archaeology is an interdisciplinary science par excellence. In its quest to reconstruct human behavior in the natural and cultural environment of the past, archaeology uses knowledge and techniques from many different academic disciplines. Indeed, there are very few sciences that have no relevance to archaeology. The concept of “holistic archaeology” was specifically defined as an inclusive app...

Introduction Essential oils are characterized by a strong odour and are a mixture of natural, complex volatile compounds. Essential oils are used invariably in the preservation of foods, sedative, spasmolytic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic remedies [1]. They have a special fragrance and known for their microbial properties [2]. So, they find applications as naturally occurri...

abstract food preservatives are often added to food as preservation method. mostly one preservative alone cannot preserve a product effectively. so it is required to create a preservation system to overcome limitations derived from each preservative. using proper selection of different preservatives may lead to significant practical benefits. in this investigation, resistant strain of bacillus ...

An ecologically valid experiment investigated the propositions that (a) people's judgments are influenced by contextual cues, (b) that they are often unaware that those cues influenced them, and (c) that even when they know the cues should influence them, they do not readily incorporate those cues into their judgment formation. After participating in a realistic simulation of a shopping experie...

Control of moisture transfer inside composite food products or between food and its environment remains today a major challenge in food preservation. A wide rage of film-forming compounds is now available and facilitates tailoring moisture barriers with optimized functional properties. Despite these huge potentials, a realistic assessment of the film or coating efficacy is still critical. Due t...

This article contains a general review of current food technologies and their effect on the quality and safety of foods. The uses of these technologies in the context of current and projected world population, urbanization prevention of food losses, preservation and trade of foods, domestically and internationally are briefly reviewed. Technologies discussed are related to food storage, refrige...

What Is Food Irradiation Food irradiation preserves meat, produce, and seasonings with highenergy gamma rays to improve product safety and shelf life. Spices, seasonings, potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables, and meats and poultry may be irradiated. This method of preservation prevents growth of food poisoning bacteria, destroys parasites, and delays ripening of fruits and vegetables. Food irr...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the recent trends in the development of active packaging (AP) for foods. Design/methodology/approach – The most up-to-date and pertinent studies within the literature have been included and summated in this paper. Findings – Fresh foods are widely consumed and are becoming a major component of the international food market. During the last decade...
