The data presented in this study will enable the development of new specific vibration tests and will help product and package engineers to reduce damage in transit. In this study, 30 transport routes recording nearly 10 000 km of the Spanish main road network have been selected and analysed, and power spectral density (PSD) profiles are provided to simulate truck transport in Spain using random vibration test methods. The resulting PSD profiles were established by generating two grms levels (0.21 and 0.15) obtaining the highest intensity from the calculation of the upper one‐sided normal tolerance limit (NTL) (30,95,50) and an average intensity profile at −6 dB with respect to the calculated NTL curve, which represents 70% of the lowest grms values of the study. This study uses NTL analysis to explore the vibration characteristics of a typical heavy goods transport vehicle type for various routes along main highways in Spain and propose new transport simulation test protocols dedicated to the Spanish main road distribution environment.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"585 - 594"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89518171","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}

{"title":"Life cycle assessment of multiple dispensing systems used for cosmetic product packaging","authors":"Shambhavi Rathore, Breanna Schuler, Jonghun Park","doi":"10.1002/pts.2729","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pts.2729","url":null,"abstract":"Worldwide, the packaging industry for consumer product goods, including personal care and beauty products, generates over $25 billion in sales. An extremely high environmental impact follows the large demand in the industry. Almost 70% of the plastic waste generated in the cosmetics market is not recyclable. Sustainability in the beauty industry is complex and multifaceted, requiring an evaluation of all factors. Packaging plays an important role in the cosmetics market, and considering the amount of waste it generates, it is essential to understand packaging dispensing systems from an environmental perspective. This study investigated the environmental impacts of three dispensing systems commonly used for cosmetic product packaging: the general dip‐tube pump, the airless pump and the bag‐in‐bottle format. A cradle‐to‐grave life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to quantitatively analyse the environmental burden of those three different dispensing systems, using a facial cream as a test case. The LCA analysed the environmental impacts generated by the packaging materials and incorporated the environmental impacts created by the facial cream residue left behind in each dispensing system. The system boundary of this LCA included the material production, intermediate processes, distribution, use and end‐of‐life phases of the packaged facial cream products. The LCA complied with the ISO standards, 14,040:2006 and 14,044:2006, and LCA software SimaPro v 9.0 was used to analyse the results. The life cycle inventories used in this LCA included US‐EI 2.2, USLCI and Ecoinvent 3. TRACI 2.1, including ten mid‐point life cycle impact categories, was chosen as the life cycle impact analysis method. Comparative and contribution analyses were conducted to interpret the LCA data. The comparative analysis demonstrated that the airless pump packaging system had less environmental burden than the other two packaging systems for all the life cycle impact categories. The bag‐in‐bottle alternative had the highest environmental impact for eight of the ten impact categories. The contribution analysis results revealed that the packaging material production phase most contributed to the environmental burden of all three packaging formats, followed by the lotion residue.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"35 1","pages":"533 - 547"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86555561","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 innovation is not only to analyse the response characteristics of the colorimetric indicator to CO2, but also to optimise the preparation parameters of the film. The response experiment showed that CO2 dissolved rapidly in water and the pH value remained unchanged after reaching equilibrium, with a one‐to‐one relationship between pH and CO2 concentration. As the CO2 concentration rose from 18% to 20%, the colour of the indicator film changed from blue–purple to yellow–green in a different colour space, allowing the change to be easily distinguished by the naked eye. The optimum parameters (13 g‧L−1 MC, 5 g‧L−1 PVA, 10 g‧L−1 glycerin, 15 ml‧L−1 indicator and a casting amount of 0.2 ml‧cm−2) for preparing the intelligent film were optimised based on puncture strength (PS), water vapour permeability (WVP), water solubility (WS), casting time (CT) and colour performance. Evaluating this application using garlic scapes stored at 15°C revealed that the total colour difference was 34.23 as the CO2 concentration increased from 18.7% to 20.4%, and the colour of the indicator film changed from blue–purple to yellow–green. Therefore, the intelligent packaging film was able to effectively provide a warning when garlic scapes were exposed to damage from a short‐term high CO2 level.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"39 1","pages":"557 - 567"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82439779","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 marketing of this type of food has increased in the last few years, being an exciting niche in the food industry. In parallel, food marketing uses packaging to attract consumers, being packaging colour a key to improving consumer perceptions and increasing purchasing intentions. However, no study has explored the ideal packaging colour for PBH. Hence, this research aimed to understand the packaging colour on consumer perception of PBH. A study with 727 volunteers was carried out, and the data were obtained through an online form and analysed using an electronic spreadsheet. Firstly, the diet types and purchasing intention of BPH were analysed. In sequence, it was investigated the perceptions against different colours used in the package of PBH. Neutral (white and black), cool (green, blue and lilac), and warm (red, yellow and magenta) colours were used in the PHB package and data derived from consumers' perceptions were analysed using the word association methodology. Results from volunteers showed that people are interested in buying PBH, including people having a carnivore or flexitarian diet type (89% of volunteers). Important attributes related to PBH were induced in the volunteers using food packaging with green, yellow and white colours. These colours can attract attention and induce emotions related to nature, health, nutritional value and quality in packages of PBH.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"18 1","pages":"495 - 503"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85509093","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}

Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) analysis showed that ROS and ALZ were successfully immobilized in the gelatin–glycerol film‐forming substrate. The addition of various natural dyes enhanced the thickness and antioxidant action of the colourimetric film. To assess the response to changes in the pH, the colourimetric film was immersed in different buffers. Based on volatile amines secreted by shrimp, a test application of a colourimetric film containing natural dyes at a ratio of ROS:ALZ = 4:1 (v/v) was conducted in shrimp at 4°C. The findings indicated that the designed colourimetric film could produce various colours, which are thought to indicate the freshness and spoilage of packaged shrimp. Therefore, the target film can be utilized as a promising smart packaging material for monitoring the freshness of shrimp and aquatic products in real time.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"483 - 493"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87827907","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 purpose of this paper is to map and review scientific literature that compares disposable and reusable packaging for food, beverages and e‐commerce from a sustainability perspective. The methodology is a systematic literature review, which identifies 91 scientific papers. The paper describes and analyses the origin, characteristics and state of current knowledge and then proposes future research directions within five areas. It identifies and presents what is known in literature to achieve environmental and social sustainability, as well as circularity for disposable compared to reusable packaging. The review shows that the literature is to great extent qualitative, often studying individual products in a specific context. European studies dominate the current literature, and many of them revolve around a few types of products and packaging. Slightly under half of the studies use the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. The review of these studies provides some indicative suggestions for when disposable and reusable packaging is environmentally preferable, but the number of LCA studies is too limited, and their content too fragmented to draw general conclusions about this. Overall, the review of 91 articles shows a great need for continued research that compares the environmental efficiency of disposable and reusable packaging. It also highlights the necessity for more knowledge to be able to clearly state under what conditions and in what contexts disposable and reusable packaging are the most sustainable options.","PeriodicalId":19626,"journal":{"name":"Packaging Technology and Science","volume":"31 1","pages":"391 - 409"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77524889","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}

There are functional groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl and amino groups on the surface of the CQDs, which promotes the excellent water dispersibility of the CQDs. CQDs have good fluorescence stability in salt solutions, different pH environments and long‐term storage. A fluorescence sensor for detecting Cr6+ was constructed, based on the specific quenching effect of Cr6+ on the fluorescence of CQDs. There is a good linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching rate of the fluorescence sensor and the Cr6+ concentration of the detected sample. The sensor has a linear range of 20–200 μM and a detection limit of 1.4 μM. In addition, the CQDs fluorescence sensor has an ideal recovery rate in the actual water sample spiked with Cr6+.
