Packaging Materials and Processing for Food, Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics
This book provides valuable information on a range of food packaging topics. It serves as a source for students, professionals and packaging engineers who need to know more about the characteristics, applications and consequences of different packaging materials in food-packaging interactions. This book is divided into 13 chapters and focuses on the agro-food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors. The first four chapters cover traditional packaging materials: wood, paper and cardboard, glass and metal. The next two deal, respectively, with plastics and laminates. Biobased materials are then covered, followed by a presentation of active and smart packaging. Some chapters are also dedicated to providing information on caps and closures as well as auxiliary materials. Different food packaging methods are presented, followed by an investigation into the design and labelling of packaging. The book ends with a chapter presenting information on how the choice of packaging material is dependent on the characteristics of the food products to be packaged.
Biological and Pharmaceutical Applications of Nanomaterials
Biological and Pharmaceutical Applications of Nanomaterials presents the findings of cutting-edge research activities in the field of nanomaterials, with a particular emphasis on biological and pharmaceutical applications. Divided into four sections-nanomaterials for drug delivery, antimicrobial nanomaterials, nanomaterials in biosensors, and safet
Consumer attitudes to food quality products
Quality foods, such as traditional, EU certified, organic and health claimed are part of a growing trend towards added value in the agri-food sector. In these foods, elements of production, processing, marketing, agro-tourism and speciality stores are combined. Paramount above all is the link to the consumer, which requires a personal approach. At this point, one enters the field of food consumer science. This can be seen as a hybrid of two distinct sciences. On one hand, there is the 'hardware' component, i.e. the science of food. On the other hand, the 'software' component, related to the science of consumers' preferences and behaviour. In animal science, nearly all attention is given to t...
Information Logistics for Organizational Empowerment and Effective Supply Chain Management
Information Logistics for Organizational Empowerment and Effective Supply Chain Management delves into the profound impact of information technology on modern businesses and supply chains. As the world becomes increasingly reliant on the virtuous triangle of the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence (AI), industries face both challenges and opportunities. This book explores the multifaceted effects of information logistics on supply chain performance, considering various dimensions and key indicators. With a focus on empowering supply chains, the book uncovers procedures and tools that can enhance the intelligence, security, flexibility, agility, and efficiency of l...
Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering
This book presents the selected peer-reviewed papers from the National Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering (NCAME 2019), held at the National Institute of Technology Delhi, India. The book covers different areas of mechanical engineering from design engineering to manufacturing engineering. A wide range of topics are discussed such as CAD/CAM, additive manufacturing, fluid dynamics, materials science and engineering, simulation and modeling, finite element analysis, applied mechanics to name a few. The contents provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in mechanical engineering research in the country. Given the scope of the topics covered, the book will be of interest for students, researchers and professionals working in mechanical engineering.
Intelligent Agrifood Chains and Networks
Food has a fundamental position in society, ensuring health, happiness and political stability. Consequently, the management of food chains and networks is one of the most important aspects of the modern food industry. Yet food is difficult to handle along long supply chains, with a limited window for storage and handling time, and the risk of spoiling if incorrectly handled or processed. These issues can lead to logistical problems that can severely affect product quality and freshness. Intelligent Agrifood Chains and Networks offers a timely discussion of the current state of food logistics, and indicates the major ICT problems that can occur during production, warehousing, transportation ...
Postharvest Handling
Postharvest Handling, Third Edition takes a global perspective in offering a system of measuring, monitoring, and managing produce processing to improve food quality, minimize food waste, reduce risks and uncertainties, and maximize time and resources. This unique resource provides an overview of the postharvest system and its role in the food value chain, and offers essential tools to monitor and control the handling process. It shows how to predict and combat unexpected events (e.g., spoilage), and manage the food quality and safety within a facility. Proven research methods and applications from various viewpoints are available to help you maintain high-quality produce and achieve the hig...
Wildlife Toxicology
Updating the extremely successful Wildlife Toxicology and Population Modeling (CRC Press, 1994), Wildlife Toxicology: Emerging Contaminant and Biodiversity Issues brings together a distinguished group of international contributors, who provide a global assessment of a range of environmental stressors, including pesticides, environmental contaminant
Genetically Modified and non-Genetically Modified Food Supply Chains
In the European Union nations, and other countries including Japan, Australia and Malaysia, it is a legal requirement that food products containing genetically modified organism (GMO) materials are labelled as such in order that customers may make informed purchasing decisions. For manufacturers and consumers to be confident about these assertions, systems must be in place along the entire food chain which support the co-existence of GM and non GM materials whilst maintaining a strict segregation between the two. This book is an output of a European Union-funded project entitled "Co-Extra: GM and non-GM food and feed supply chains: their Co-Existence and Traceability". The objective of this ...
