food packaging is inseparable step of the process, storage, distribution and marketing of the product. proper packaging increases the shelf life of food; for this reason that is one of the main characteristics in the food industry. one of the new concepts in food packaging is bio packaging, that is developed to respond to the needs of consumers and food products with higher durability. using ed...

background and objectives: paper and paperboard packaging play an important role in safety and quality of food products. common bacteria of paper and paperboard food packaging could grow due to specific conditions included humidity, tem- perature and major nutrition to contaminate the food. the purpose of this research was to investigate numbers and the types of bacteria in the food packaging p...

The widely accepted and used migration models that describe the mass transport from polymeric packaging material to food and food simulants are confirmed here. A critical review of the most accepted models is presented in detail. Their main advantages and weak points, regarding their predictive accuracy, are discussed and weighted toward their usage extensiveness. By identifying the specific ar...

Global Approaches to Sustainable Food Packaging Food and packaging waste are increasingly being assessed against common sustainability metrics and the value of a circular economy is being realized. Common sustainability metrics address the environmental cost of packaging to reduce food and nutrient waste. The advancing promise of a more circular economy is the result of new packaging legislatio...

'Spice' is an herbal blend that has been reported to produce cannabis-like effects when smoked and is marketed as an alternative to marijuana. Synthetic additives have been identified in numerous 'Spice' preparations from different sources. Common among many of the preparations were the compounds JWH018 and a dimethyloctyl variant of CP47,497 (CP47,497-C8) and, more recently JWH073. The synapti...

India being an agricultural economy, packaging will play a prominent role in food related sector. Processed food sector will be a major purchaser of packaging supplies. Transportation of milk, food grains and commodities like tea, coffee, edible oil over long distances and under changing climatic conditions is a major challenge to the packaging industry. Fruits and vegetables are perishable and...

Frequency-domain distortion analysis is very important for designing the analog integrated circuits. We propose here a new method based on the Spice-oriented harmonic balance method, where the Fourier transformations of the resistive circuits driven by a periodic input are carried out by the Fourier transfer circuit model. The circuit is composed of the analog behavior models(ABM) of Spice, whi...

Source location for real aperture radar (RAR) has raised many concerns in the fields of ground-based monitoring for aircrafts and vessels. However, the resolution of RAR in azimuth is constrained by the antenna beam width, which results in low degree of location accuracy. In this paper, a superresolution methodology to locate sources is proposed by exploiting the inherent sparseness of the targ...

Many software process assessment models have been developed based on, or inspired by, the Software Engineering Institute’s Capability Maturity Model (CMM). The outputs arising from such models can be voluminous and complex, requiring tool support to comprehend and analyse them. The paper describes some tools developed in order to visualise the results of SPICE conformant assessments. The tools,...
