The extracted cellulose (EC) was mixed to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to prepare EC/PVA composite films with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or glycerol (GLY) as a plasticizer. The EC/3%PVA composite film showed the highest tensile strength of 54.42 MPa because of the high PVA content. Adding GLY steeply increased the elongation of the EC/3%PVA film from 3.12% to 126.76%, but adding PEG slightly decreased to 2.63%. The EC/1%PVA/PEG composite film showed the highest visible light transmittance of 84.47%, while the addition of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) significantly improved UV-blocking properties.

With the goal of developing a new multi-criteria decision-making framework, this article examines how several multi-criteria decision-making approaches can be used to facilitate the selection of sustainable product-package designs. Using a case study, the multi-criteria decision-making method analyses package design, helping decision-makers to determine and minimize the percentage of food losses at each step of the supply chain. Furthermore, the design of both the product and its packaging must encompass the entire life cycle, including materials sourcing, production, transportation, use and disposal. Achieving sustainability requires a collaborative effort among all supply chain agents, from producers to consumers. Consequently, this study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of attaining sustainable product and packaging design in the food supply chain, emphasizing the need for a long-term, collaborative approach to sustainability. This study concludes that sustainable packaging is highly relevant in the circular food supply chain due to its direct contributions to reducing food waste, conserving resources, mitigating carbon emissions, and meeting consumer preferences for eco-friendly products. Given the consideration of relevant criteria, the multicriteria method appears to be suitable for analysing food supply chains, thanks to its systematic approach in managing the application of sustainable packaging throughout the entire process, including the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of food products.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140166113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The collected horizontal impacts were synchronized with GPS data, allowing for the geographical location and identification of the event's signatures. All critical horizontal long-duration impacts were detected by a MATLAB-based algorithm and clustered into designated groups. A maximum collected environment and statistical analysis were assessed for the collected data, including the range, mean and cumulative probabilities.

The mucilage of <i>Nopalea cochenillifera</i> (L.) Salm-Dyck was extracted with ethyl alcohol P.A. (99.8%) or reused alcohol after hydrodistillation (82%). Mucilage powder was hydrated (4% w/v), glycerol at a concentration of 60% and calcium lactate (0% and 2%) were added and the emulsion was then placed in the oven for 24 h to prepare the films. The innovation of this work was the recycling of the ethanol used to extract cactus mucilage in order to prepare ecofilms, which resulted in a more environmentally friendly production process. The industrial yield of mucilage extracted using distilled ethanol (1.3%) was lower than that of P.A. alcohol (3.3%). However, the mucilage extracted using distilled ethanol had a higher concentration of carbohydrates and phenolic compounds and lower levels of Na<sup>+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup>, leading to reduced electrical conductivity. The biopolymeric ecofilm obtained was thinner (0.15 mm) and had lower solubility in water (43%) and moisture content (15%), greater transparency (12.65%) and higher tensile strength (12.91 MPa). The addition of calcium lactate in biopolymers decreased water solubility while increasing permeability and thickness. Furthermore, it enhanced the resistance and thermal stability of biopolymeric ecofilms. Thus, biopolymeric ecofilms of mucilage obtained showed potential for use in biofilms and edible coatings on fruits and vegetables, with a strong appeal for lower environmental impact and, consequently, being able to reduce manufacturing costs for the industry.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140006914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, migration behaviour of five elements (Ge, Ti, Sb, Co and P) used as catalysts, bluing agents and stabilizers during manufacturing from PET into beverages were assessed. Migration tests were performed on eight unused PET bottles under various conditions (food simulants: distilled water, 4% acetic acid and 50% ethanol; time: 10 days to 24 months; temperature: 25–60°C). The migration levels of two catalyst elements (Ge and Sb) under these conditions were 0.12–31.9 and <0.1–1.8, respectively, whereas Ti, Co and P were not detected (<2, <0.1 and <20 μg/L, respectively). The results showed storage temperature were positively correlated with migration of Sb and Ge in all food simulants. Different food simulants led to different levels of these elements migration at the same storage time and temperature, and the levels into 50% ethanol were higher than those into the other two food simulants. It was also shown that migration levels of Sb and Ge were below 2 and 20 μg/L even after 2 years of storage at room temperature, not exceeding the Japanese and EU regulation values. The Sb levels in distilled water were similar to those in commercially available bottled mineral waters, indicating that the migration tests provide a good reflection of the actual situation.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139773488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a large number of plastics end up in the environment after serving their intended purpose and persist there for centuries. Since worldwide attention to environmental issues has become an irreversible historical trend, cost-effective renewable biodegradable packaging material is highly desirable for the packaging industry to satisfy both industrial demands as well as consumer expectations. Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA), a renewable biodegradable polymer derived from biomass, has been widely studied as a very attractive polymer for food packaging applications. However, its brittle nature and medium CO<sub>2</sub>/O<sub>2</sub> permeability are not friendly for its utilisation in the aspect of fresh agricultural products packaging. In such a context, great efforts have been devoted to improvements in the mechanical and permeability of PLLA to meet the requirements of food packaging. The main purpose of the review is to summarise the mechanical and permeability properties of composite films developed by the incorporation of toughness reinforcing agents into the PLLA matrix. The elongation at break of PLA can be increased up to 250 times by modification, and the CO<sub>2</sub> permeability of PLA can be increased by 2–3 times by modification. We also elaborate on studies of the preservation effect of PLLA composite films on fresh fruits and vegetables.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139770028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
