Abstract Pig small intestine not only is used as food but also for sausage casings production in many countries worldwide. However, it is well recognized that the small intestine is important source of spoilage and patho...

Abstract In order to extend the shelf life of refrigerating raw lamb by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, preventing the oxidation of fat and protein, and absorbing the juice outflow of lamb during storage, an act...

This study examines the early effects of Iceland's 2023 extended producer responsibility (EPR) reform for packaging waste, one of the first nationwide implementations of a fully harmonised, producer-funded system in a sm...

Abstract This trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of overwrap, vacuum, and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on poultry breast fillets' microbiological, biochemical shelf life and sensory attributes. The fillets...

Abstract The current study investigated the effects of the most suitable modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of fermented dry sausages during 45 days of ref...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of packaging permeability (water and oxygen) on the sensory and physical properties of white sliced bread during storage at ambient and accelerated conditions. White...

Modern lifestyle factors, including dietary choices, significantly affect individual and intergenerational health. The widespread reliance on processed and takeout foods, along with the regular use of cosmetics and perso...

Product packaging is a critical tool influencing consumer perceptions. This study examines how the perceived personality of disruptive products like canned wine links to social stereotypes of their drinkers. Surveying 13...

Introduction: The burden of disease attributable to tobacco use in Latin America is very high. Our objective was to evaluate the 10-year potential impact of current legislation related to cigarette packaging and warnings...

Abstract This study investigated the impact of packaging methods coupled with high barrier packaging loaded with titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the quality of chilled pork. The experiment consisted of three treatment groups:...

Nanocomposite films based on polypropylene and talc were used to develop food flexible packaging. Two talc samples withdifferent morphologies (micro and macro-crystalline) were employed to formulate nanocomposites with s...

Abstract This study has aimed to assess the quality and shelf-life stability of dry-cured ham under different packaging systems during storage. The types of packaging systems were: aerobic packing (AP), vacuum packing (V...

We studied the quality of dry pasta packaged and stored for 45 days in biodegradable bags made from triticale flour films. Results were compared with the quality of pasta packaged in commercial bags. Characterization of...

Abstract Achieving sustainability in resource-intensive industries such as cement production requires a transition away from synthetic plastic packaging toward biodegradable alternatives that reduce long-term environment...

Abstract To evaluate the effects of early postmortem vacuum packaging (VP) on meat quality during postmortem chilled storage, hot-boned lamb was vacuum-packaged at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h postmortem and stored around 2°C...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze whether seawater has positive effects on appearance characteristics, such as CIE a*, and to determine the gas composition concentration that is suitable for maintaining i...

Soy protein isolate (SPI) films reinforced with starch nanocrystals (SNC) were developed by simple casting method. The films were transparent and homogeneous. The opacity and degree of crystallinity increased with the am...

The search for substitutes for synthetic polymers in food packaging has received significant attention from both researchers and the industrial sector. A promising approach involves utilizing edible films based on tapioc...

Plasticized polylactide (PLA) composite films with multifunctional properties were created by loading bimetallic silver–copper (Ag–Cu) nanoparticles (NPs) and cinnamon essential oil (CEO) into polymer matrix via comp...

Abstract Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and renewable polymer, which represents a valuable alternative to plastic packaging films, often associated with environmental problems. In this study, we tested the suit...

Replacing single use plastic packaging with repeatedly refilled reusable containers is a ‘refill on the go’ business model that can contribute to circular economy objectives. Despite potential to enable sustainable c...

A study was carried out to evaluate preferences for two cuts, four countries of origin, two forms of presentation, brand and different prices of beef cattle among supermarket buyers in southern Chile, and to distinguish ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and microbiological stability of sausages produced from mechanically separated fish meat (MSM) obtained from Nile tilapia filleting residues. Different heat t...
