Food Packaging (FS 522 / FS 495) Aseptic Processing and Packaging
Food Packaging (FS 522 / FS 495) Aseptic Processing and Packaging Components of an aseptic processing system Aseptic processing is a thermal process in which the product and container are sterilized separately and brought together in a sterile environment. It involves pumping, deaeration, and sterilization of a food product, followed by holding it for a specified period of time (in a holding tube -- required to have a 1/4" rise per foot length of tube), cooling it, and finally packaging it in a sterile container. The use of high temperature for a short period of time (in comparison with conventional canning) in aseptic processing yields a high quality product. Care should be taken to ensure that all process calculations are performed after the deaeration stage and not based on the initial raw product. Deaeration is accomplished in a vessel maintained at a certain degree of vacuum by means of a vacuum pump. The product is fed into the vessel at 55 - 70 /C through a nozzle at the center of the vessel. Vacuum is controlled to obtain a product flash of about 5 /C. An internal spiral condenser condenses vapors and other condensable gases. The deaerated product is discharged through the bottom and pumped to the heating section. Another important part of an aseptic processing system is the back pressure valve which provides sufficient pressure to prevent boiling of the product at processing temperatures which can be as high as 125-130 /C. An aseptic surge tank provides the means for product to be continuously processed even if the packaging system is not operational due to any malfunction. -

Dimitriou 80, 18534, Piraeus, Greece [email protected] Food packaging provides many vital functions including protection, storage and preservation of products, as well as, information to consumers. However, the overall packaging life cycle generates significant environmental impacts since its production exploits natural resources and energy and causes environmental emissions. Moreover, packaging wastes generate increasing disposal issues, being the second largest fraction of municipal wastes after the organic fraction. During the last years there is focus on the environmental performance of juice packaging systems. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and Tetra Pak multilayer packaging arethe dominant juice packaging options. Life cycle assessment (LCA) techniques are used to improve the understanding, as well as, to compare the environmental characteristics of different packaging systems. This research assesses the environmental impact of the two commonest juice packaging options, including their production along with their final disposal (landfilling, incineration and recycling). -
The Naturalization of the Urban and Corporate Logic: How the Sacred Waters of Lund, Sweden, Progressed Into a Toxic Sludge Hole
The naturalization of the urban and corporate logic: How the sacred waters of Lund, Sweden, progressed into a toxic sludge hole Author: Mikael Lövgren Supervisor: Alf Hornborg Degree of Master of Science (Two Years) in Human Ecology: Culture, Power, and Sustainability (30 ECTS) Human Ecology Division Department of Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences Lund University Spring 2020 1 Department: The Department of Human Geographyand the Human Ecology Division Address: Sölvegatan 10, 223 62 Lund, Sweden Telephone: +46 (0) 46 222 00 00 Supervisor: Alf Hornborg Title and Subtitle: The naturalization of the urban and corporate logic: How the sacred waters of Lund, Sweden, progressed into a toxic sludge hole Author: Mikael Lövgren Examination: Master’s thesis (two year) Abstract: In this study a landscape is interpreted from an analytical and binary theoretical framework in order to contrast and extract different social formations that have been conducive to its creation. The landscape in question is a contemporary park found in Lund, Sweden, in the province of Skåne. Lurking beneath the spatial scenery of the park, histories of transgressed and repressed social formations are found. Stories that are buried in the depth of this landscape include a landfill, a commons, that was enclosed, and a sacred water that later was transformed into something very close to a flush toilet for the globally expanding local industries. According to some philologists this toxic sludge hole is synonymous with the wellspring of Lund. The crucial point of this study is that ideas materialize in the landscape. Some of these are seemingly prone to stability and justice, whilst others are seemingly prone to risk and unfettered capital accumulation. -

Improving Fire Performances of PEAL: More Second-Life Options for Recycled Tetra Pak®
polymers Article Improving Fire Performances of PEAL: More Second-Life Options for Recycled Tetra Pak® Fulvia Cravero and Alberto Frache * Department of Applied Science and Technology, Politecnico di Torino, Viale Teresa Michel 5, 15121 Alessandria, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0131-229304 Received: 21 September 2020; Accepted: 11 October 2020; Published: 14 October 2020 Abstract: The purpose of this work was to evaluate and improve the flammability and combustion behavior of the polyethylene-based material obtained from the recycling of Tetra Pak® (PEAL) to widen its use to applications where these properties are required. Firstly, its thermal stability was investigated with thermogravimetric analysis, resulting in an enhancement in the main degradation step temperature (from 385 ◦C to 421 ◦C) due to the presence of the aluminum-flakes. Then, to improve the poor flammability (HB in UL-94 test) and combustion behavior (Fire Performance Index of 0.07) of the raw material, two flame retardant approaches were tested: an intumescent system made of ammonium polyphosphate and pentaerythritol, and magnesium hydroxide. In addition, the effectiveness of polyethylene as a charring agent was evaluated. Characterization was made with UL-94, cone calorimeter, and morphologic analysis. For all the materials tested, the temperature of the main weight loss step increased and the flammability rating improved (V2 for intumescent and V0 for magnesium hydroxide reached). Moreover, fire hazard decreased (Fire Performance Index of 0.15 and 0.55; Flame Retardancy Index of 2.6 and 10.0). Referring to the morphology, full compatibility was found in the PEAL–magnesium hydroxide compound, while PEAL-intumescent appeared as a heterogeneous system. -

Corporate Social Entrepreneurship As a New Approach to CSR- a Swedish Outlook
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Lund University Publications - Student Papers Corporate Social Entrepreneurship as a new approach to CSR- A Swedish Outlook Angel Nikolov & Louise Westergren Lund University - School of Economics and Management Supervisor: Ola Mattisson May, 2017 Abstract Corporate social entrepreneurship (CSE) is a fairly new concept in academia and is not very well researched. This study aims to develop more knowledge about the concept. It is emphasizing the concept of CSE, and how Swedish companies are working with CSE. A comprehensive framework based on literature is presented and tested on the empirical data. Another framework was developed from the empirical data, updating the comprehensive one. The study showed that the main outcome of CSE is shared value creation, a double bottom line, both economic and social. Many internal and external factors precede a CSE action. The study also shows indications that CSE actions in the Bottom of the Pyramid can be compared to ones in developed countries such as Sweden, following the framework. It is recommended that more research needs to be done in this area to get a more comprehensive picture of the nature of CSE. Keywords: Corporate social entrepreneurship, Swedish companies, cross case analysis, framework 1 Acknowledgements We would like to thank our supervisor - Ola Mattisson for all the help and support throughout the degree project, as well as our classmates Alexandra van Heel and Tuğrulhan Ektuna for their reviews and great feedback. We also want to express our gratitude to our program director Stein Kleppestø for his commitment and devotion to the Master program in Management, as well as the whole Lund University School of Economics and Management, especially our teachers who have also inspired us to grow and develop our knowledge, skills and mindsets. -
