“…The demand can be considered as either stochastic or deterministic. In view of perishable inventory, various deterministic demand functions have been investigated as follows: stock dependent (Girl and Chaudhuri 1998;Vilas, Mauricio-Iglesias, and García 2020), price dependent (Mondal, Bhunia, and Maiti 2003), selling price and stock dependent (Panda, Saha, and Basu 2009), price and time-dependent (You 2005), freshness dependent (Bai and Kendall 2008), stock and freshness dependent (Chen et al 2016), price and freshness dependent (Tiwari et al 2017), Poisson demand (Chen et al 2018), price-freshness effort and time-dependent (Rana, Kumar, and Prasad 2020), time-dependent linear and quadratic (Piramuthu and Zhou 2013), time-dependent ramp type (Duan et al 2012), price-and time-dependent ramp type (Panda, Saha, and Basu 2013), selling price and credit period dependent (Thangam and Uthayakumar 2009), selling price and advertisement dependent (Goyal and Gunasekaran 1995), etc. In the present work, we have assumed a linear time-dependent demand function so that the demand is reduced and increases abruptly by finite volumes after imposing and relieving the lockdown, respectively.…”

The proposed work considers two different scenarios of a finite period complete-lockdown situation for two warehouse perishable inventory systems. The first scenario assumed the enforcement and ease of lockdown when the owned warehouse is being vacated. The latter studied the scenario using lockdown enforcement during the inventory dispatch from the owned warehouse and relieved as the items are taken from the rented warehouse. These deterministic models consider a time-dependent linear demand rate and two parameters Weibull distributed deterioration rate. The linearly increasing demand function decreases by a finite volume as the lockdown is imposed and increases suddenly whenever the lockdown is relaxed. Both of the models have been formulated to minimise the total system cost. Further, the behaviour of the models has been examined using sensitivity analysis. Considering the realistic scenarios makes the models practicable to implement in a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.

This review presents a perspective on the research trends and solutions from recent years in the domain of antimicrobial packaging materials. The antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities can be induced by the main polymer used for packaging or by addition of various components from natural agents (bacteriocins, essential oils, natural extracts, etc.) to synthetic agents, both organic and inorganic (Ag, ZnO, TiO2 nanoparticles, synthetic antibiotics etc.). The general trend for the packaging evolution is from the inert and polluting plastic waste to the antimicrobial active, biodegradable or edible, biopolymer film packaging. Like in many domains this transition is an evolution rather than a revolution, and changes are coming in small steps. Changing the public perception and industry focus on the antimicrobial packaging solutions will enhance the shelf life and provide healthier food, thus diminishing the waste of agricultural resources, but will also reduce the plastic pollution generated by humankind as most new polymers used for packaging are from renewable sources and are biodegradable. Polysaccharides (like chitosan, cellulose and derivatives, starch etc.), lipids and proteins (from vegetal or animal origin), and some other specific biopolymers (like polylactic acid or polyvinyl alcohol) have been used as single component or in blends to obtain antimicrobial packaging materials. Where the package’s antimicrobial and antioxidant activities need a larger spectrum or a boost, certain active substances are embedded, encapsulated, coated, grafted into or onto the polymeric film. This review tries to cover the latest updates on the antimicrobial packaging, edible or not, using as support traditional and new polymers, with emphasis on natural compounds.

“…One way to control microbial and fungal growth in food products and prevent foodstuff spoilage is to use active antimicrobial packaging (Ekramian et al., 2021; Moslehi et al., 2021; Vilas et al., 2020). Antimicrobial packaging plays a crucial role in developing the safety and food products shelf life.…”

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of active polyethylene film (PE) containing linalool and thymol active components on the microbial shelf life of mozzarella cheese. PE films containing different concentrations of linalool or thymol (0%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%) were prepared. The antimicrobial properties of the films were examined, and mozzarella cheese was packed with these active films. The antimicrobial properties of packed samples during 30 days of storage were studied. The obtained results from film tests showed that by increasing the concentration of active agents (linalool and thymol) in PE films, the antimicrobial activities of film samples against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria innocua, and Saccharomyces cervicea were increased. The cheese tests result demonstrated that mozzarella cheese packaging with PE films containing different concentrations of linalool and thymol leads to a decreased growth rate of molds and yeasts in cheeses. At the end of the storage period, the lowest number of molds and yeasts was for a sample packed in PE film containing 2% thymol, which increased from 1.00 to 1.21 Log CFU/g during the storage period. From E. coli and S. aureus contamination, the samples packed in active films were safe until the last day of storage (30th day), while the control sample was unacceptable at 17th day of storage. According to obtained results from this study, it was concluded that the addition of linalool and thymol active components to PE film had a positive effect on the extension of the mozzarella scheese shelf life.
