  • Packaging of Dairy Products - II
    Paper no.: 12 Paper Title: Food Packaging Technology Module-19: Packaging of Dairy Products - II 19.1 Introduction In this module, we will discuss regarding the packaging of butter, ghee, cheese and milk powder. Butter and ghee contains a high percentage of fat, so they are very susceptible to spoilage. So packaging material used should be selected in such a way that it possesses good grease resistance, and barrier properties against oxygen and moisture. Cheese is fermented dairy product, having low pH and comparative higher moisture content while milk powder is dried product, containing very low moisture. 19.2 Butter It consists primarily of about 80% milk fat, 16% moisture and in table butter up to 3% common salt. Because of high moisture content butter is susceptible to mold growth and lypolytic rancidity 19.2.1 Characteristics of Butter 1. Due to high moisture content butter unlike solid fats is susceptible to mold growth. 2. Flavour and odour are easily absorbed by butter from its environment. 3. Deterioration of the butter may take place due to rancidity. 4. Butter has tendency to lose Moisture. 19.2.2 Requirement of Packaging: 1. Non toxic, not harmful to consumer’s health. 2. It should be grease/moisture proof. 3. Shall be barrier for Oxygen. 4. Low metallic content as metals favor oxidation of fat. 5. Shall not transmit light. 19.2.3 Packaging Material In India, butter is packed in bulk as well as in retail packages. For bulk packaging, there is no standard method, and generally polyethylene bags/parchment paper along with corrugated boxes are used.

  • Basics of Kraft Pulping
    Lignin Wood is composed of many chemical components, primarily extractives, carbohydrates, and lignin, which are distributed nonuniformly as the result of anatomical structure. Lignin is derived from the Latin term lignum, which means wood.1 Anselme Payen (1838) was the first to recognize the composite nature of wood and referred to a carbon- rich substance as the “encrusting material” which embedded cellulose in the wood. Schulze (1865) later defined this encrusting material as lignin. Lignin has been described as a random, three-dimensional network polymer comprised of variously linked phenylpropane units.2 Lignin is the second most abundant biological material on the planet, exceeded only by cellulose and hemicellulose, and comprises 15-25% of the dry weight of woody plants. This macromolecule plays a vital role in providing mechanical support to bind plant fibers together. Lignin also decreases the permeation of water through the cell walls of the xylem, thereby playing an intricate role in the transport of water and nutrients. Finally, lignin plays an important function in a plant’s natural defense against degradation by impeding penetration of destructive enzymes through the cell wall. Although lignin is necessary to trees, it is undesirable in most chemical papermaking fibers and is removed by pulping and bleaching processes. 1.1.1 Biosynthesis Plant lignins can be broadly divided into three classes: softwood (gymnosperm), hardwood (angiosperm) and grass or annual plant (graminaceous) lignin.3 Three different phenylpropane units, or monolignols, are responsible for lignin biosynthesis.4 Guaiacyl lignin is composed principally of coniferyl alcohol units, while guaiacyl-syringyl lignin contains monomeric units from coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol.

However, it has a relatively strong affinity for water and oil, which 12 limits its application scope. In this work, we prepare two types of coated paper to 13 investigate, the influence the air permeability and polarity on the oil resistance of the 14 coated paper. The results showed that reducing the air permeability improved the grease 15 resistance of the coated paper. High surface energy coatings also showed better oil 16 resistance because of their higher content of polar components that resulted in a higher 17 resistance to grease. The mechanical properties of the paper also improved after 18 applying the coating. These natural derived materials offer an alternative to the fluoride- 19 containing materials currently used in the market to improve the wettability of paper. 20 Keywords: coated paper · oil resistance · air permeability · polarity 21 Introduction 22 As the variety of foods containing grease is abundant, the types of oil-resistant 23 materials used in food packaging has diversified in recent years.

  • Crumpling Feasibility of Flexible Paper Sheets. Application to Packaging in the Food Industry Serge Rohmer1, Alexis Mérat1
    KES Transactions on Sustainable Design and Manufacturing I Sustainable Design and Manufacturing 2014 : pp.26-37 : Paper sdm14-028 Crumpling feasibility of flexible paper sheets. Application to packaging in the food industry Serge Rohmer1, Alexis Mérat1 1University of Technology of Troyes, CS42060, Troyes, 10004, France [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Flexible packages are considered as the most-reduced form of packaging in terms of environmental performances. In order to contribute to their development, this paper proposes to explore some mechanical properties brought by a new folding process that confers elasticity to flexible materials and consequently new environmental advantages. The innovative folding process consists in sequences of crumpling actions transforming a 2D sheet into a dynamic 3D flexible structure, without cutting or gluing actions. In order to prove the efficiency of the crumpling process, a methodology is proposed to evaluate the ability of a material to be crumpled. The procedure is then applied on different types of papers used in the food industry, and a study case of a crumpled packaging highlights new innovative functionalities as well as its potential environmental gain. 1. Introduction Sustainability is gradually becoming a worldwide challenge for companies, they are conscious of the growing importance of taking into account environmental considerations in their development strategies. The directives and certification schemes adopted by public authorities [1-3] oblige industries and the packaging sector in particular to face the environmental challenge by developing new strategies and new products. Some propose their own certification to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable packaging. United Parcel Service company (UPS) proposes for example its own certification in its Eco Responsible Packaging Program for business customers [4].

  • PRESS RELEASE Paper and Plastic Sacks Provide Equivalent Shelf Life
    PRESS RELEASE 11th December 2019 Paper and plastic sacks provide equivalent shelf life Paris/Stockholm, 11th December 2019: A recent study found that paper sacks and form-fill- seal (FFS) polyethylene sacks provided equivalent protection for cement when stored for 18 months under the same conditions. The study was conducted by the Norwegian research organisation SINTEF on behalf of the European Paper Sack Research Group (ESG), a collaboration between CEPI Eurokraft and EUROSAC. “Since cement hardens when reacting with water, perfect product protection of the packaging is vital when storing cement for a longer period of time in order to conserve its quality and properties,” explains Catherine Kerninon, General Delegate of EUROSAC. “To ensure that our industry meets the requirements of cement producers and can compete within the packaging market for cement, we investigated the shelf life of the two sack solutions that are used most widely on the market: cement paper sacks and cement plastic sacks.” For the study, typical sack solutions of each type were Paper sacks protect the product quality chosen: a standard cement paper valve sack made and performance for at least 18 months of two paper layers of 80 g and 70 g with a 12 μm in storage.

  • Making a Pinhole Camera
    Homework – Autumn 11 Making a Pinhole Camera Your task this week is to make a pinhole camera. You will need to do the following: Ensure you have the correct materials to make your camera (see below) Follow the step-by-step guide carefully. Take a photo of your finished creation for us to see. You DO NOT need to bring in your camera to school. Write a paragraph about the process of making your camera. You will need to include: o What materials you used. o Were the instructions easy to follow? o Was it a success? Were you able to create an image? o Would you do anything differently? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- What is a pinhole camera? The word “camera” comes from camera obscura, which simply means “dark chamber”. A pinhole camera is one of the most basic examples of this concept. Pinhole cameras are made from a lightproof box, some photographic paper and a tiny hole (often made with a pin, hence the name). The pinhole is just an aperture, not a true lens, but because it is so small it will still focus on an image on the opposite side of the box, exposing the photo paper placed there. How to make a pinhole camera You will need: A box with a lid – You can make your own or use a shoebox or similar, but then the lid is on it must not let any light inside. You could also use a wide cardboard tube instead. A roll of aluminium foil or sheet of black paper. Sticky tape. Scissors. A needle or drawing pin.
