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...

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...

Adenovirus (Ad) type 5 DNA packaging is initiated in a polar fashion from the left end of the genome. The packaging process is dependent upon the cis-acting packaging domain located between nucleotides 194 and 380. Seven A/T-rich repeats have been identified within this domain that direct packaging. A1, A2, A5, and A6 are the most important repeats functionally and share a bipartite sequence mo...

The packaging determinants of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) consist of two discontinuous core regions, extending from R to approximately 150 bp of the 5' untranslated region and the first approximately 100 bp of gag. However, the role of sequences intervening between the core regions in packaging has not been clear. A mutational analysis was conducted to determine whether the intervening ...
