“…These widely used intelligent food packages are sensitive to environmental factors, and inform the consumers by a change of colour which occurs due to mechanical, chemical, enzymatic or microbial deterioration. Food packaging materials are generally manufactured from glass, metals, plastics [1], papers [2], paperboards [3], polymers and fabric, and these are still commonly used in the food industry for the protection, security, convenience and containment of the food products. These materials also provide informative transmission, agglomeration and tamper indication capabilities.…”

A novel hydrogel was synthesized from N ,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMAAm), gelatin, citric acid (CA) and Basilicum extract (BE). This study was aimed at creating an advanced food packaging material that allows the detection of food spoilage, which can be monitored colorimetrically. The poly(gelatin-co-DMAAm)/CA-BE was synthesized in the form of a film on Petri dishes using a redox polymerization technique. Mechanical and water resistance properties of the hydrogel were further improved by the addition of CA and N ,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide as crosslinkers; BE was added to the reaction mixture and entrapped in the polymer chains with the aim to introduce antimicrobial, antioxidant and anthocyanin properties for the desired utilization. The characterization of the synthesized hydrogel was carried out using a dynamic and mechanical analyser, thermo gravimetric analyser, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The antimicrobial activity of the hydrogel was observed as it was tested against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, total antioxidant and anthocyanin activities of the hydrogels were also studied at different pH values to monitor the colour change capabilities. It was concluded that the hydrogel was a strong candidate for use in food packaging.

“…Nanotechnology utilises nanoscience and phenomenon constituting a new approach that concern the study of manipulation of materials at molecular level. Packaging based on nanotechnology can reduce spoilage significantly, and secure production, processing and shipment [2]. However, whether these are likely to be used widely within food packaging is unclear, and will be dependent on cost/unit and ease of use.…”

The development of chemical sensors and biosensors over several decades has been investigated resulting in novel and very interesting sensor devices with great promise for many areas of applications including food technology. The incorporation of such sensors into the food packaging technology has resulted what we call smart or intelligent packaging. These are truly integrated and interdisciplinary systems that invoke expertise from the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, physics and electronics as well as food science and technology. Smart packaging utilises chemical sensor or biosensor to monitor the quality & safety of food from the producers to the costumers. This technology can result in a variety of sensor designs that are suitable for monitoring of food quality and safety, such as freshness, pathogens, leakage, carbon dioxide, oxygen, pH, time or temperature. Thus, this technology is needed as online quality control and safety in term of consumers, authorities and food producers, and has great potential in the development of new sensing systems integrated in the food packaging, which are beyond the existing conventional technologies, like control of weight, volume, colour and appearance.

Material handling systems (MHS) include a wide range of systems and equipment that are used for handling, movement, storage and control of materials during manufacturing. MHS can represent a significant portion of the cost to make a product and there can be significant cost savings in manufacturing processes if unexpected failures of such systems can be avoided and maintenance costs lowered. This paper first surveys the common maintenance practices of MHS including three typical warehouse MHS e.g. automatic picking system (APS), goods to destination (GDS), and Erector. The survey from end users shows that the majority of the companies does not keep the record of their past failures or improve their maintenance practices after major failures occur. Even the end users with more advanced maintenance programs use more reactive maintenance approaches, as opposed to preventive maintenance approaches which have the potential to lower the chances of unexpected failures and costly repairs. The present paper also reviews the past works in predictive monitoring of MHS categorized as machine level, component level, and production level. Although there has not been a large body of research published around this topic, the existing works demonstrate the suitability of applying Prognostics and Health Management techniques for improving the reliability of such machines and reducing their downtime. The opportunity for MHS to move towards a condition-based maintenance approach is still a few years away, and many end-users of this equipment would have to first adopt a good preventive and reliably centered maintenance philosophy. Once that occurs, the OEM's would be the most likely candidates for further developing and implementing the research work and methods for MHS predictive monitoring.
