Download or read book Plastics and the Environment written by Anthony L. Andrady and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-02-20 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plastics offer a variety of environmental benefits. However, their production, applications, and disposal present many environmental concerns. Plastics and the Environment provides state-of-the-art technical and research information on the complex relationship between the plastic and polymer industry and the environment, focusing on the sustainability, environmental impact, and cost—benefit tradeoffs associated with different technologies. Bringing together the field’s leading researchers, Anthony Andrady’s innovative collection not only covers how plastics affect the environment, but also how environmental factors affect plastics. The relative benefits of recycling, resource recovery, and energy recovery are also discussed in detail. The first of the book’s four sections represents a basic introduction to the key subject matter of plastics and the environment; the second explores several pertinent applications of plastics with environmental implications–packaging, paints and coatings, textiles, and agricultural film use. The third section discusses the behavior of plastics in some of the environments in which they are typically used, such as the outdoors, in biotic environments, or in fires. The final section consists of chapters on recycling and thermal treatment of plastics waste. Chapters include: Commodity Polymers Plastics in Transportation Biodegradation of Common Polymers Thermal Treatment of Polymer Waste Incineration of Plastics The contributors also focus on the effectiveness of recent technologies in mitigating environmental impacts, particularly those for managing plastics in the solid waste stream. Plastic and design engineers, polymer chemists, material scientists, and ecologists will find Plastics and the Environment to be a vital resource to this critical industry.
Download or read book The Importance of Packaging Design for the Chemistry of Food Products written by Giovanni Brunazzi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief defines reliable correlations between the food packaging design and its chemical features in terms of an 'integrated food product' (the synergistic union composed of the edible content and its container). A good design, as described in this Brief, implies the best choices from a series of possibilities, taking into account economical and commercial influences or limitations in the production and processing chain and the chemical interactions that can arise between the food containers and the contained edible material. This Brief highlights how the different requirements can be combined, while avoiding dangerous food risks originating from the chemical interaction between the container and the product. Different designs are critically analysed with relation to the effect on contained foods. The influences and resulting consequences of different possible food packaging designs are highlighted and discussed in selected case studies for some every-day products (like potato chips).

Download or read book Food Science written by A. S. Bawa and published by New India Publishing Agency. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aimes at imparting basics of the subject besides the latest trends in the evolution of technologies and important industrial practices. Besides the technological aspects, adequate emphasis has also been laid on the quality aspects and adequate knowledge input required for a student or professional in Food Science and Technology. The book contains 16 s addressing various important aspects such as unit operations, thermal processing, hurdle technology preservation, cold preservation, dehydration, freezing, and advanced thermal techniques such as infrared and microwaves besides non-thermal aspects such as high pressure and pulsed electric field processing as well as ?-irradiation. State-of-art subject areas such as functional foods could be an added flavour as the global food market has ample potential in the area of functional foods. Food packaging and food laws are important in commercializing processed foods as well as fresh produce and the areas require due emphasis to make the book more comprehensive.

Download or read book Modified Atmosphere Packaging of Food written by Ooraikul and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the 50th Anniversary Meeting of the Institute of Food Technologists the ten most significant innovations in food science developed during the past 50 years were named (Food Technology, September 1989). Among the "Top 10" innovations, controlled atmosphere packaging (CAP) for fruits and vegetables was listed 5th in order of importance. Of course, CAP is a forerunner of MAP (modified atmosphere packaging) in which a variety of food products are packaged under selective mixtures of atmospheric gases, but without the on-going maintenance (control) of the gas mixture. Development of packaging systems and films that are selectively permeable to specific gases has been the key element in the commercialization of controlled and modified atmosphere packaging of foods. It may not be far from the truth to say that since then there has been an explosion of activities around MAP/CAP, especially in research and development into various aspects of this technology. The application of MAP to some bakery products, fresh fruits and salads and fresh meats and meat products has reached a significant level both in Europe and North America. The increasing consumer demand for fresh or near-fresh products and convenient, microwavable foods has added impetus to the growth of MAP/CAP technology. It is, therefore, timely that a comprehensive book that provides scientific background and practical applications of the technology should be written.
