Plastics have been used extensively in both food and water packaging because of their inherent properties such as low bulk densities and inertness that make them convenient carrier materials and low risk contaminants. Plastic bottles and sachets used to package iced water that is sold to people in transit points and in moving vehicles have become widespread in the sub-region. However, the packa...

this experiment was carried out to increase the shelf life and maintaining the quality of mango (mangifera indica) fruits. there were two factors. factor a: postharvest treatments with six levels (1. untreated (control), 2. washing with chlorine, 3. dipping (5 minutes) in calcium chloride (cacl2), 4. dipping (5 minutes) in bavistin and rinse in clean water, 5. hot water treatment and 6. tap wat...

Abstract Packaging waste makes up more than 10% of the landfilled in United States. While consumers often want to make environmentally friendly product choices, we find that their perceptions environmental friendliness packaging may systematically deviate from its objective friendliness. Eight studies (N = 4,103) document perceived (PEF) bias whereby judge plastic with additional paper be ident...

Figure 2 The cut plastic packaging is a perfect contour to fit neatly over the talus component without risking abrasive damage to the tibia. facturer’s technique. We use the thin plastic covering accompanying the sterile tibial implant (Fig 1) to protect the talus during tibial insertion. The dome-shaped plastic covering can be trimmed to a smaller talar-sized piece to cover the talus, leaving ...

Background and Objectives: Antimicrobial active packaging with metallic nanoparticles is used as antimicrobial agent in the packaging of food. This study considers the coliform retarding ability of antimicrobial packaging in ultra-filtrated (UF) cheese. Materials and Methods: Plastic films based on low-density polyethylene containing organoclay (cloisite 30B) and different percentages of Ag an...

This paper aimed to evaluate the effects of storage periods on the conservation of Pachyrhizus ahipa roots at different temperatures and packaging materials. The roots were harvested, washed, packed in PVC, plastic bags, without wrappings (control) and stored in polystyrene trays in refrigerators, or cold chambers, or at room temperature. Total titratable acidity (TTA), total soluble solids (TS...

Integration of sensing capabilities with an interactive signage through wireless communication is enabling the development of smart packaging wherein wireless (13.56 MHz) power transmission is used to interlock the smart packaging with a wireless (13.56 MHz) reader or a smart phone. Assembly of the necessary componentry for smart packaging on plastic or paper foils is limited by the manufacturi...
