ABSTRACT: In response to the dynamic changes in current consumer demand and market trends, area of Active Packaging (AP) is becoming increasingly significant. Principal AP systems include those that involve oxygen scavenging, moisture absorption control, carbon dioxide ethanol generation, antimicrobial (AM) migrating nonmigrating systems. Of these active packaging systems, AM version great importance. This article reviews: (1) different categories concepts with particular regard activity its...
Abstract The incorporation of nanomaterials into a range polymeric materials shows great potential for developing new active food packaging systems. Although there are many suggested benefits nanoparticles (NPs) in packaging, also risks due to the possibility such particles migrating foodstuffs. This has obvious implications human health and it may negatively impact on marketing consumer confidence. review focuses 2 particular types nanomaterials: nanoclays nanosilver, with view examining...
The migration of antimicrobial (AM) agents carvacrol, thymol and linalool from heat pressed coated starch-based packaging films into isooctane was investigated the release consistently obeyed first-order kinetics.

Carrageenans obtained from seaweeds can be processed into films for a range of applications including food packaging. The level carrageenan refinement during extraction influence the key properties, with semi-refined (SRC) containing more impurities than refined (RC). Further steps, however, result in higher costs associated production RC. In order to obtain lower cost and ecofriendly, bio-based material packaging applications, SRC was used this investigation produce thin film reinforced...

Abstract The properties of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE)‐based films containing either linalool or methylchavicol as antimicrobial (AM) additives were evaluated. Slight decreases in transparency, water vapour and oxygen transmission rates found the extruded 0.34% w/w methylchavicol. infrared (IR) spectra AM similar to that additive‐free LDPE film. However, carbonyl peaks could also be observed films. There was no significant difference degree crystallinity melting temperature range...
The migration of the naturally derived antimicrobial (AM) agents, linalool, carvacrol, and thymol, from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films containing ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer into food simulants, isooctane various ethanol/water mixtures, was studied with a view towards examining applicability first-order kinetic approach as well diffusion model for describing these systems. results suggest that proposed models adequately describe release AM agents. combination analyses can...
University-led STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) outreach forms one potential avenue to address the continuing decline of tertiary student enrollments. Yet to-date impact these programs is not well understood, due an historical emphasis on 'delivering goods' that obscures debate which deliver, why whom. At a time in academy faces growing pressures 'perform,' it argued explicit consideration program purposes efforts assess efficacy may facilitate discussions about...
The ionic plasma produced by a hypervelocity particle impact can be analysed to determine compositional information for the original using time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Such methods have been adopted on interplanetary dust detectors perform in-situ analyses of encountered grains, example, Cassini Cosmic Dust Analyser (CDA). In order more fully understand data returned such instruments, it is necessary study their response impacts in laboratory. Accordingly, are shown here spectra...
