Packaging and Food: A Complex Combination

Abstract

The advent of packaging materials in the modern food industry has deeply changed the relationship between people and foods. Food packages have progressively been turned into essential element for the sale and the consumption of food products. On these bases, packaged foods can become communicative media of values and information: the user receives and understands these data by means of suitable tools of physical, cultural and personal nature. Functional and communicative requirements of food packaging are continuously evolving: the careful analysis of these factors should be recommended because of their influence on chemistry of foods, food technology, biochemical interactions between different food phases, and chemistry of food packaging. This section is dedicated to the study and the 'chemical' interpretation of food packaging requirements.

Estimasi Risiko Migrasi Bisfenol A (BPA) Dari Kemasan Logam Pangan Olahan Di Indonesia

“…Menurut Brunazzi et al, (2014) pangan yang dikemas dalam kaleng diharapkan dapat memiliki keuntungan yaitu stabil dalam jangka waktu panjang, tidak memerlukan penyimpanan pada suhu dingin/rendah, memiliki ketahanan terhadap kerusakan mekanis pada proses sterilisasi, dapat menjaga kandungan gizi produk, berkurangnya risiko oksidasi, dan memberikan perlindungan yang baik terhadap paparan cahaya. Oleh sebab itu keamanan kemasan sangat penting untuk diperhatikan.…”

Safety Protocols in the Food Industry and Emerging Concerns

“…The nature of 'passive microbial contamination' vehicles is known in the scientific literature when speaking of food containers and correlated parts (Brunazzi et al 2014;Parisi , 2013. However, the problem of microbial spreading in foods may include each potential food-contact surface and material in food plants, warehouses and retail structures.…”

“…In general, food contamination may occur via different channels, including food packaging materials and objects (Brunazzi et al 2014;Parisi , 2013. This statement is particularly true when speaking of microbial contamination: the nature of 'passive microbial contamination' vehicles is known in the scientific literature when speaking of food containers and correlated parts Italian Institute of Packaging 2013;Parisi 2011;Caruso and Parisi 2013;Parisi et al 2009a, b, c).…”
