  • Shelf-Stable Food Safety
    United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service Food Safety Information PhotoDisc Shelf-Stable Food Safety ver since man was a hunter-gatherer, he has sought ways to preserve food safely. People living in cold climates Elearned to freeze food for future use, and after electricity was invented, freezers and refrigerators kept food safe. But except for drying, packing in sugar syrup, or salting, keeping perishable food safe without refrigeration is a truly modern invention. What does “shelf stable” Foods that can be safely stored at room temperature, or “on the shelf,” mean? are called “shelf stable.” These non-perishable products include jerky, country hams, canned and bottled foods, rice, pasta, flour, sugar, spices, oils, and foods processed in aseptic or retort packages and other products that do not require refrigeration until after opening. Not all canned goods are shelf stable. Some canned food, such as some canned ham and seafood, are not safe at room temperature. These will be labeled “Keep Refrigerated.” How are foods made In order to be shelf stable, perishable food must be treated by heat and/ shelf stable? or dried to destroy foodborne microorganisms that can cause illness or spoil food. Food can be packaged in sterile, airtight containers. All foods eventually spoil if not preserved. CANNED FOODS What is the history of Napoleon is considered “the father” of canning. He offered 12,000 French canning? francs to anyone who could find a way to prevent military food supplies from spoiling. Napoleon himself presented the prize in 1795 to chef Nicholas Appert, who invented the process of packing meat and poultry in glass bottles, corking them, and submerging them in boiling water.

  • More Than Just Dry Air
    More than just dry air Rich Heimsch To avoid the damage of micro-cracks and delamination during the processing of electronic components, appropriate environmental storage is essential. The introduction of lead-free soldering and the associated higher processing temperatures involved makes moisture management even more critical. In this collection of articles published in SMT 007 magazine, Rich Heimsch of Super Dry Totech discusses the issues of moisture damage and specialized moisture management and tracking technology for Components and PCBs. IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033C Joint February 2012 Supersedes IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033B Industry Includes Amemdment 1 October 2005 Standard Handling, Packing, Shipping, and Use of Moisture/ Reflow and/or Process Sensitive Components The advent of surface mount devices (SMDs) introduced a new class of quality and reliability concerns regarding damage from the solder reflow process, such as cracks and delamination. This document describes the standardized levels of floorlife exposure for moisture/reflow sensitive SMDs along with the handling, packing, and shipping requirements necessary to avoid moisture/ reflow related failures. Companion documents J-STD-020 and J-STD-075 define the classification procedure and JEP113 defines the labeling requirements.

Each year, we ask questions about various aspects of general packaging sustainability. Some questions are the same every year to give us a historical picture of where the industry is—and where it is shifting. But each year we also add new questions around the hot topics du jour. This year, we focused on plastic packaging sustainability because it has captured so much attention around the world from consumers, organizations and governments today. In this detailed report, we’ll first provide some context by talking about the current climate of plastic packaging.

  • THE FLAVOR APPRENTICE SHELF LIFE FLAVOR INFORMATION Concentrated Flavors Do Not Spoil, Or Go Rancid, Like Fruit Juices Can., So
    THE FLAVOR APPRENTICE SHELF LIFE FLAVOR INFORMATION Concentrated flavors do not spoil, or go rancid, like fruit juices can., so they do not really have an "expiration date". But under certain conditions they can change. In other words, you will notice that a "fresh" bottle might seem different from an older bottle. Basically, what my flavor manufacturer tells me is that the flavors can have a very long shelf life, when they are not continuously opened and are stored in glass. It is not necessary to store them in the refrigerator, but I don't think that this would hurt them. But sometimes refrigeration can cause re-crystallization of flavors that have a lot of the crystals like ethyl maltol in them. Please refer to our COA for our shelf life statement. Here's some background. Every concentrated flavor is a mixture of raw materials, and every flavor blend can act differently. For example flavors that have a vanilla characteristic are going to have slightly different storage capabilities than fruit flavors. Here's the reason. Vanilla and caramel flavors are mostly made of large molecules like vanillin, ethyl vanillin , etc. These molecules are not very volatile, and tend not to escape the bottle when you open it. They will be fairly stable. Fruit flavors, on the other hand, are made of much smaller molecules in general. Whenever you open a bottle, it's the lightest and smallest molecules that escape and reach your nose quickly. Over time when you open a bottle over and over again more and more proportion of these lighter molecules leave the bottle and eventually the character of the flavor will be changed.

  • Biodegradable Packaging Materials from Animal Processing Co-Products and Wastes: an Overview
    polymers Review Biodegradable Packaging Materials from Animal Processing Co-Products and Wastes: An Overview Diako Khodaei, Carlos Álvarez and Anne Maria Mullen * Department of Food Quality and Sensory Science, Teagasc Food Research Centre, Ashtown, Dublin, Ireland; [email protected] (D.K.); [email protected] (C.Á.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +353-(1)-8059521 Abstract: Biodegradable polymers are non-toxic, environmentally friendly biopolymers with con- siderable mechanical and barrier properties that can be degraded in industrial or home composting conditions. These biopolymers can be generated from sustainable natural sources or from the agri- cultural and animal processing co-products and wastes. Animals processing co-products are low value, underutilized, non-meat components that are generally generated from meat processing or slaughterhouse such as hide, blood, some offal etc. These are often converted into low-value products such as animal feed or in some cases disposed of as waste. Collagen, gelatin, keratin, myofibrillar proteins, and chitosan are the major value-added biopolymers obtained from the processing of animal’s products. While these have many applications in food and pharmaceutical industries, a sig- nificant amount is underutilized and therefore hold potential for use in the generation of bioplastics. This review summarizes the research progress on the utilization of meat processing co-products to fabricate biodegradable polymers with the main focus on food industry applications. In addition, the factors affecting the application of biodegradable polymers in the packaging sector, their current industrial status, and regulations are also discussed.

  • Circularity for Plastic Packaging
    Sustainable Packaging Systems Circularity design guide for plastic packaging Introduction Contents Packaging protects and preserves food and consumer goods products and gives a platform to inform the consumer about the product. Specifically, plastic packaging provides product durability, flexibility in design, hygiene and safety properties and can extend shelf life. However, following rising public concern about the rise in plastic waste, inconsistencies with collection and recycling facilities in the UK, and the increase of marine pollution, consumers are asking retailers and brands to minimise use and dependency on plastic. Whether you’re a senior technologist on a mission, an operations manager responding to client demands or a buyer with targets, this IGD guide will: • Talk you through the key sustainable design principles • Give you a 5 step design approach • Provide supporting insights and action points 2 SUSTAINABLE SUSTAINABLE 3 PACKAGING PACKAGING SYSTEMS SYSTEMS Understanding circularity Moving to a circular economy and the waste hierarchy Resources The plastics life cycle currently follows a predominantly The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Economy Butterfly linear model that follows the path of raw material extraction, Diagram gives a useful structure to adopt circularity within Minimise Manufacture manufacture, product design and moulding, product use and sustainable design focused on: then disposal.
