ABSTRACT: Intelligent packaging is an emerging technology that uses the communication function of package to facilitate decision making achieve benefits enhanced food quality and safety. In this paper, term intelligent defined based on a proposed model functions, which consistent with historical development packaging. A conceptual framework also developed provide more precise meaning definition elucidate anatomy system. The latest advances in smart devices including barcode labels, radio...
ABSTRACT A respiration model, based on enzyme kinetics, was proposed for predicting rates of fresh produce as a function O 2 and CO concentrations. In this the dependence assumed to follow Michaelis‐Menten type equation (r = V m [O ]/{K + ]}), effect an uncompetitive inhibition model ]/{Km (1 [CO ]/ Ki) ]}). The predictions agreed well with published data variety commodities experimental cut broccoli. Fresh (O consumption or evolution) at various concentrations, transient equilibrium gas...
Abstract The development of composites consisting wood fibers and recycled plastics offers not only an opportunity to utilize abundant natural resource but also a means alleviate the serious disposal problem. In this work, aspen are incorporated into high density polyethylene with co‐rotating inter‐meshing twin‐screw extruder study processing‐property relationships. Tensile, impact, flexural strengths measured as functions fiber concentration. effects pretreatment, screw configuration,...
Abstract Researchers from Rutgers University and Clemson have collaborated to develop a concept of using smart blending generate functional packaging films for the controlled release active compounds such as antimicrobials, antioxidants flavour extend shelf‐life food. In this paper, literature results are reviewed justify significance (CRP) research gaps further development identified. A major gap is lack materials that can provide at rates suitable wide range food applications. Smart...
This paper investigated the feasibility of manipulating packaging polymers with various degrees hydrophobicity to release two antioxidants, tocopherol and quercetin, at rates suitable for long-term inhibition lipid oxidation in food. For example, one antioxidant can be released a fast rate provide short-term/intermediate protection, whereas other slower intermediate/long-term protection oxidation. Controlled-release films containing quercetin were produced using ethylene vinyl alcohol...
Thin casein films for food packaging applications reportedly possess good strength and low oxygen permeability, but elasticity high sensitivity to moisture. Modifying the target specific behaviors depending on environmental conditions can enable a variety of commercial casein-based films. The mechanical properties solvent-cast (15% solids) calcium-caseinate/glycerol (CaCas:Gly ratio 3:1) were characterized as function processing conditions, including film thickness, solution formulation...
The effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on the degradation Irgafos 168 and migration its two products, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphate, from polypropylene (PP) were investigated. A blown film machine was used to extrude PP films containing 168, stored in dark for 45 days, UV treatments sunlight exposure applied films, GC-MS studies. Extrusion, storage, treatments, significantly affected concentrations products. 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol major product produced...
Summary A coating made of a styrene‐acrylate copolymer and containing triclosan (87 ± 9 mg cm −3 coating) was evaluated as an antimicrobial layer for packaging materials. In both agar diffusion tests liquid culture tests, inhibition growth Enterococcus faecalis by the triclosan‐coating observed. Triclosan in not released into water. Using solution 10% aqueous ethanol to simulate aqueous/acidic foods, very small portion quickly with estimated apparent partition coefficient 1.7 × 10 −5 . When...
A transformation is derived to decouple the two differential equations describing one-dimensional acoustic wave propagation in presence of mean flow, mufflers with partitioned, perforated tubes. The following analysis leads compact and exact expressions for matrix parameters crossflow elements without any concern convergence infinite series or segmental employed earlier studies. present is, however, based on assumptions a uniform perforate impedance tube, equal flow ducts. predicted...
Cranberry juice has been recognized as a treatment for urinary tract infections on the basis of scientific reports proanthocyanidin anti-adhesion activity against Escherichia coli well from folklore. Xyloglucan oligosaccharides were detected in cranberry and residue remaining following commercial extraction that included pectinase maceration pulp. A novel xyloglucan was through tandem mass spectrometry analysis an ion at m/z 1055 determined to be branched, three hexose, four pentose...
