This thesis treats the development of packaging and integration methods for the cost-efficient encapsulation and packaging of microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices. The packaging of MEMS devices is often more costly than the device itself, partly because the packaging can be crucial for the performance of the device. For devices which contain liquids or needs to be enclosed in a vacuum, the pac...

In the recent years, we have witnessed a growing consumption of carbonated beverages like soft drinks and beer, marketed in attractive containers and packaging. Technology has certainly played its part in the increased consumption of carbonated beverages with the adventof glass bottles, cans, plastic bottles, high speed packaging lines and evolving packaging systems. Packaging carbonated produc...

Novel polymeric active food packaging films comprising halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) as active agents were developed. HNTs which are hollow tubular clay nanoparticles were utilized as nanofillers absorbing the naturally produced ethylene gas that causes softening and aging of fruits and vegetables; at the same time, limiting the migration of spoilage-inducing gas molecules within the polymer matr...

table grapes (vitis vinifera l. cv. shahroodi) were stored for 45 days under modified atmospher packaging (map) with four gas combination treatments including gc1 (control or air), gc2 (10%co2+5%o2), gc3 (10%co2+15%o2) and gc4 (10%co2 + 60%o2) using two types of polymeric films pp (polypropylene) and pe (polyethylene) at 1oc and 80-90% rh. measurements were carried out after each 15 days at 1oc...

In this paper we have discussed about the possible practical approach to adopt the bioplastics in the field of Bulk Packaging. There are lot of hazardous effects of petroleum based plastic and packages on the environment. So there is a need of rethinking for the use of this kind of materials which create threat to the society and environment through different kinds of packaging. Here an effort ...

absorption of flavor compounds from food into the package is one of the interactions which occurbetween food and packaging material. this phenomenon is of high importance, because absorptionof flavors into the packaging material could diminish the flavor intensity of the product as well asloss of mechanical/border properties of the packaging material, so the final loss of quality in thefood pro...

Raw turkey breasts were aerobically or vacuum-packaged, irradiated with a linear accelerator, and frozen for 0, 1.5, or 3 mo. Lipid oxidation, volatiles, color values, gas production, and oxidation-reduction potential of the samples were determined. Irradiation produced off-odor volatiles associated with lipid oxidation and sulfur-volatiles; the off-odor was much higher in aerobic packaging. Vo...

Watercress is a leafy vegetable of the family Brassicaceae that grows in and around water, it has a short shelf life (approximately seven days) and it is consumed raw or steamed. The objective of this work was to study the effect of packaging film and different storage temperature on the postharvest quality of watercress minimally processed. Treatments were: packed with plain film (PD961EZ, 31m...

A simultaneous determination method of trace amounts of perfluorinated compounds, such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in packaging materials and textiles, has been developed, using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The perfluorinated compounds were primarily extracted from the samples by a PLE procedure,...
