The influence of using different packaging on the quality decay kinetics of Cuccìa

Quality and shelf life of orange juice aseptically packaged in PET bottles

“…Results indicate that glass was the material that presents the lowest oxygen permeability followed by multilayer and monolayer PET. This is in agree- ment with other works (Ayhan et al, 2001;Muratore et al, 2005;Sobek, 2003). Considering the limit of 200 mg/L for shelf life estimation (Polydera et al, 2003), glass and multilayer PET bottles can reach more that 300 days at 4°C and 250 days at 25°C while, for simple monolayer PET, shelf life was around 180 days at 4°C and a maximum of 160 days at 25°C.…”

“…Liquid foods such as milk or oil are some of the products for which PET has been proposed as a packaging material Tawfik & Huyghebaert, 1998;Zygoura et al, 2004). As for orange juice bottling, PET is being actually used eventhough limited research work has been published on the matter (Muratore et al, 2005). In fact, when considering a packaging material for orange juice bottling it would be appropriate to select the material that better matches quality objectives, shelf life, storage temperature and costs of the product even though in most cases juice manufacturers do not exactly know particular behaviour of the commercial PET packaging materials for bottling.…”

“…The use of oxygen scavengers with an appropriate packaging material can further reduce the presence of dissolved oxygen in the juice or present initially in the headspace. This technique has been investigated for the packaging of solid foods Martínez, Djenane, Cilla, Beltrán, & Roncalés, 2006;Muratore et al, 2005;Sanchez Silva, López Hernández, & Paseiro Losada, 2005) and orange juice in plastic bags (Zerdin et al, 2003).…”

Packaging strategies to prolong the shelf life of minimally processed lampascioni (Muscari comosum)

“…However, their use is still very limited, due to the high conversion cost and small amounts available , 2008Muratore et al, 2006).…”

Minimally Processed Food: Packaging for Quality Preservation

“…The environmentally friendly films may represent suitable materials for ready-to-use products due to their low barrier properties. However, their use is still very limited due to the high conversion cost and small amounts available , 2008aMuratore et al 2006). Packaged lampascioni samples were stored at 5…”
