Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the changes induced by pressure-assisted thermal processing (PATP) treatment in two multilayer polymer films used as packaging material by the meat industry. The changes induced by the treatment at 600 MPa, 70 ºC for 10 minutes on the structural, mechanical and thermal properties of two multilayer polymer films (Pev-70 coextruded high barrier multilayer film with the structure PA / EVOH / PA / PE and Pob-60 combination of biaxially oriented polyamide with a co-extruded barrier film of the polyethylene / EVOH / m-polyethylene structure) were studied. Numerous changes induced by the PATP treatment on the structural, mechanical and thermal properties of the two multi-layered polymer films used as packaging materials in the meat industry have been identified. The choice of a packaging material according to the PATP treatment requires a better understanding of all the changes induced by this treatment. So, this study has preliminarily identified a part of those changes that occurs and could irreversible affect the quality of foods.
