<p><em>Indonesia has the opportunity to increase cow's milk production, but the level of milk consumption among Indonesian people is much lower than in neighboring countries. The imbalance of large production quantities with the low market demand can cause price declines. In order not to experience losses, producers must be consumer-oriented. The aims of this study were to analyze the characteristics of consumers of pasteurized milk at the KUD Argopuro Dairy House and to analyze the effect of the attributes of pasteurized milk on consumers. The research method used descriptive analysis to answer the first purpose and conjoint analysis for the second purpose. The number of samples in this study was 96 respondents. Characteristics consumers of pasteurized milk at the KUD Argopuro Dairy House were mostly women, aged 21 until 25 years, with a high school equivalent final education level, dominated by students, with a monthly income of less than Rp500.000. Consumers prefer chocolate-flavored pasteurized milk in 1.000 ml plastic bottles for Rp6.000. Consumers consider is the taste of the milk, the size of the package, the type of packaging, and the price. Suggestions that can be given are to increase the production of chocolate flavored pasteurized milk so that the product sells faster, develop 1.000 ml packaging in plastic bottles so that it is not inferior to competing products, and set a more affordable price for consumers which are students.</em></p>

Package-type strategies and packaging's carbon reduction decisions in the take-out industry

Using environmentally friendly packaging (E-packaging) instead of non-environmentally friendly packaging (N-packaging) can mitigate pollution and reduce carbon emissions. However, the market penetration rate of E-packaging is low, and the packaging carbon reduction level is uneven. This study uses game theory models to examine the factors affecting packaging carbon reduction levels and fees as well as firms' package-type decisions. First, we obtain the optimal solutions for packaging manufacturers and firms when they use different types of packaging under monopoly and competition, respectively. We find that green competition reduces the carbon reduction level of E-packaging, whereas price competition can increase it under certain conditions. The unit manufacturing cost of N-packaging and cost coefficient of carbon reduction are critical considerations for package-type decisions. When the unit manufacturing cost of N-packaging is low and the cost coefficient is large, no firm uses E-packaging. We also demonstrate that firms in a competitive market may become trapped in a prisoner's dilemma after making package-type decisions. Interestingly, we show that the firms' package-type decisions can hurt consumers and welfare under certain conditions, depending on the N-packaging's unit manufacturing cost and pollution damage factor. Our findings provide insights for packaging manufacturers, firms, and environmental regulatory agencies, and can help promote E-packaging.

Characteristics of tape with different packaging materials: a review

Tape is a traditional Indonesian fermented food made from cassava or glutinous rice. Tape is usually presented at special events in various regions of Indonesia. Tape is generally wrapped and packaged traditionally using leaves. Nowadays, tape is also packaged in plastic and cardboard boxes. Based on traditional packaging using natural packaging materials, several types of leaves are used as tape wrappers, but the most used are banana leaves and guava leaves. This study aims to determine the effect of tape packaging materials on the characteristics of the tape. The method used is a systematic review by collecting scientific articles from Scopus, Research Gate, and Google Scholar by focusing on the keywords tape, wrapping food, and plant packaging. From the total number of articles obtained, some relevant papers were selected for discussion in this study. The information used focuses on the effect of packaging on the characteristics of the tape produced, the organoleptic properties of the tape, and the shelf life of the tape. The study's results found several types of packaging used in packing tape, including banana leaves, guava leaves, pandan leaves, woven bamboo, cardboard boxes, and plastic. The difference in the packaging used affects the sensory properties of the tape produced, such as tape color, aroma, and taste.

Are solid-state batteries absolutely more environmentally friendly compared to traditional batteries-analyzing from the footprint family viewpoint

In recent years, with the change of global climate, carbon neutralization has become a global consensus. Solid state batteries have become the important way to develop batteries in the future due to their advantages such as high safety, high energy density, wider operating temperature range, and the battery production stage is the main contributor to the environmental impact of the battery life cycle.This article selects three traditional batteries, LFP battery, NMC battery, LTO battery, and two new solid-state batteries, Li-FeS2 battery and LLZO battery, to conduct a study on the carbon footprint and other footprint family impacts during the production stage. The inventory data is collected from highly cited literature published in recent years, and the footprint family impact values generated by different types of battery packs are compared and analyzed. When using 1 kg as the functional unit, the footprint values of LLZO and Li-FeS2 solid-state batteries are higher than those of NMC and LFP traditional batteries in most footprint indicators such as ionizing radiation and ozone layer depletion in carbon footprint, material footprint, ecological footprint, and health footprint, resulting in greater environmental pollution. Considering the energy density of the battery, with a functional unit of 1kWh, the high energy density of solid-state batteries significantly reduces their environmental impact, while traditional battery LTO increases its environmental impact due to the lower battery energy density. But in the material footprint, both functional units of solid-state batteries have a significant impact. The high energy density of solid-state batteries still holds great development prospects, and cleaner technology and energy, as well as higher energy density, remain the direction of battery development.

Sterility of Ophthalmic Solutions as a Factor in the Evolution of Primary Packaging for Eye Drops: A Literature Review

Preservatives in eye drops, while not always necessary, can lead to undesirable effects. Developing preservative-free solutions demands special measures for sterility, utilizing multidose or monodose primary packaging. This review explores the merits and drawbacks of these packaging types. A literature search on PubMed, Google Scholar, and EMBASE until December 2023, using MESH terms, yielded 28 studies on multidose ampoules and 24 on monodose packaging. Heterogeneous data revealed advantages and disadvantages concerning patient use and manufacturing. Chronologically presenting the development of eye drop packaging, this study finds Droptainer® simple but unable to maintain sterility. Comod®, 3K®, ABAK®, Novelia®, and Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser show high sterility probability, with Comod® and ABAK® having a contamination risk. Novelia® excels with long-term sterility and better control. Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser, FDA-approved, boasts a smaller carbon footprint. Unit-dose systems preserve sterility and offer design flexibility. Proposing an alternative, blister technology maintains sterility, is convenient and safe, and holds promise for recycling. This comprehensive assessment aids in understanding the evolving landscape of eye drop packaging, emphasizing the importance of sterility, convenience, and environmental impact.

Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to Troubleshoot a Stability Issue in a Real-World Formulation Chassis-Application to Consumer Oral Healthcare.

With direct application to current and future consumer healthcare products, this research sheds light on the importance of packaging and its potential effects on both Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) delivery and stability. Industrially sourced, proprietary experimental formulations (PEFs), specifically oral cleansers, based on salicylic acid and hydrogen peroxide, discolored over time at different rates, depending on packaging type used. This discoloration stemmed from an interplay of two factors, involving both spontaneous formulation degradation and the interaction of both degradants and salicylic acid with the internal surface of the packaging. This manuscript reports on the investigation to uncover the origins of discoloration. To investigate this real-world, industrial pipeline problem, we exploited the high dimensionality and simple sample preparation uniquely afforded by NMR. Using a combination of 1D/2D NMR and diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) to leverage molecular mass estimations from, we not only quickly confirmed the identities of these degradants, but also assessed their formation as a function of temperature and pH, providing insight into the mechanisms underlying their formation. We were able to identify catechol as the main source of discoloration over a period of several weeks, being formed at the ppm level. Furthermore, we evaluated the formulation-container interaction, employing NMR, ICP-MS, and ATR-IR. Despite this comprehensive analysis, the root causes of discoloration could only tentatively be assigned to a surface Ti complex of salicylic acid and other hydroxy carboxylic acids. Through the understanding of formulation degradation pathways, we were able to support further toxicology assessment, vital to both consumer safety and the manufacturer. This work underscores the invaluable role of NMR in the analysis of intricate proprietary mixtures with a consumer-centric purpose. Our findings demonstrate that conventional analytical techniques falter in the face of such complexity, requiring extensive preparation and pre-analytical processing, highlighting the novelty and crucial relevance of NMR research to manufacturers and consumers. Such an analysis is of value in the pursuit of materials within the consumer-healthcare space, which meet the requirements for successful recycling or re-use.

Functional classification and material characterization of plastic packaging in Flemish land litter to support effective reduction policies

Littered plastics are ubiquitous in the environment. This work presents an elaborate functional classification and material characterization of plastic packaging in land litter representatively sampled in Flanders, to support policy makers in taking effective reduction measures. In terms of mass, plastic bottles constituted the largest functional fraction (50.4 %) within plastic packaging found in land litter, followed by packaging films (food and non-food combined, 19.2 %) and rigid packaging (food and non-food combined, 18.2 %). In contrast, in number, plastic bottles were only the third largest fraction (10.1 %), after food (37.9 %) and non-food (26.2 %) packaging films. The difference between mass and number % for plastic packaging films can be explained by the fact that these films largely consisted of small and lightweight items, such as cookie wrappers and fragments of torn-open packaging. On a material level, the bottles fraction consisted almost entirely of PET, whereas non-food packaging films, bags and loose bottle caps consisted mainly of PE. ‘Cups and lids’, food and non-food rigid packaging and food packaging films consisted of a variety of polymer types, with PP, PET and PE being the most abundant in different ratios. Given the relative importance of plastic bottles, the introduction of a deposit return system could considerably reduce the plastic packaging mass littered into the environment. However, since the share of plastic packaging in the total collected land litter was only 14 %, the overall effect of such a measure on the litter mass will be limited. Given the high number share of food and non-food packaging films such as cookie wrappers, indicating their high ‘likeliness-to-get-littered’, effective policies to avoid littering of these types of packaging seem to be key.

Plastic alternatives and substitutes in the packaging sector – A UK consumer perspective

Alternative and substitute materials to conventional plastic packaging offer a range of potential opportunities to help reduce the environmental impacts of single-use plastic. Policymakers and industry stakeholders are currently debating measures to address the plastic pollution crisis globally, but successful implementation of new policies or packaging technologies will require understanding of consumer perspectives and consumer acceptability. The present study aimed to examine consumer perceptions around plastic alternatives and substitutes by employing a life cycle approach. The Kano model of consumer satisfaction was used to investigate how UK consumers (n = 1177) responded to a variety of environmentally relevant attributes and end-of-life scenarios for different types of packaging (conventional plastic, biodegradable plastic, and glass). These responses were further grouped based on sociodemographic characteristics of the consumers including age, gender and level of education, as well as psycho-environmental variables such as nature connectedness. We show that consumers valued recyclability or compostability of packaging as preferable end-of-life attributes, and that overall consumers considered the release of plastic packaging into the natural environment an unacceptable end-of-life scenario. Concerningly, this was not the case for packaging made of biodegradable plastic or glass, highlighting the potential for alternatives and substitutes to increase the proportion of mismanaged waste. All four consumer groups had distinct profiles of responses to packaging sustainability attributes and end-of-life scenarios: ‘Educated environmentalists’, consisting mostly of female consumers, considered all of the attributes of interest to be important, whereas ‘Older, less educated coastal dwellers’ showed similar responses but rated four out of seven sustainability attributes of biodegradable plastic packaging as irrelevant. ‘Non-environmentalists’ perceived all attributes as irrelevant, as did ‘Nature-connected egocentrists’, with the exception of glass being made of recycled material. Overall, our findings indicate that consumers are not sufficiently informed about the environmental impacts and opportunities around packaging, highlighting the need for appropriate consumer education to support policy and industry in implementing the UN Plastics Treaty.

Navigating between socio-economic viability and environmental impacts: The sachets and sticks paradox

Sachets and plastic sticks, single-use packaging primarily constructed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), have proliferated globally for their convenience and multilayered construction that ensures product integrity. Especially prominent in emerging markets and amplified by pandemic-driven demand for hygiene products, these formats contribute significantly to fossil fuel industry revenue, aligning closely with petrochemical infrastructure developments such as fracking. While providing producers risk mitigation and cost-effective branding opportunities, these packaging types impose significant environmental tolls. The multimaterial layered composition of these materials hampers recycling efforts, and incineration releases toxins, exacerbating pollution. The plastics industry thus becomes an economic support for fossil fuel sectors facing declining oil demand. The growth of this sachet-stick economy represents a precarious balance between immediate economic benefits and long-term environmental ramifications. As global attention increasingly turns toward sustainability and pollution reduction, it becomes crucial to analyze the true environmental and socioeconomic costs of sachet and stick packaging.

Application of bacteriophage MS2 in preliminary simulation of inactivation rate of pathogenic viruses in commercial beef and chicken packaging

SummaryIn response to the growing concern of transmitting pathogenic viruses through food, this research aimed to assess the impact of various factors on the commercial packaging of meat (chicken and beef) on the inactivation of bacteriophage MS2 which was scrutinised by examining the influence of packaging type, bacteriophage spiking levels, temperature, as well as the meat shape and type. The findings revealed that the recovery of bacteriophage MS2 from minced beef was lower in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) compared with air packaging (AP) at both storage times, spiking levels, and freezing and refrigerating temperatures. On the other hand, the recovery of the bacteriophage from chopped beef was lower in AP than in MAP in refrigerating conditions at both spiking levels during the 3 days of storage. According to our findings, the recovery levels of bacteriophage MS2 from chicken had statistically significant differences in both packaging types at different spiking levels. Storage conditions and packaging type were the most essential parameters in bacteriophage MS2 viability. The lowest bacteriophage viability belonged to MAP.

The Impact of Information Presentation on Consumer Perceptions of Cricket-Containing Chocolate Chip Cookies

As a source of protein and other nutrients for a growing population, edible insect production offers environmental and sustainability advantages over traditional meat production. Although around 2 billion people consume insects worldwide, Western consumers are still reluctant to practice entomophagy, hindered largely by neophobia and negative emotions. In addition to sensory quality and safety, an informational component may be crucial to consumers’ decision making involving insect consumption. In this study, three different information types, namely text, image, and a tangible product, were used to convey information about chocolate chip cookies (CCCs) containing cricket flour. The nature of the information was related to the ingredient usage level (5%), the type of insect (cricket), nutritional values, sustainability benefits, packaging, celebrity endorsement, and/or visual appearance of an actual product. Consumers’ willingness to consume (WTC), acceptance, and purchase intent (PI) were measured in response to each informed condition. Once informed of the insect ingredient, all scores significantly (α = 0.05) dropped. The lowest WTC (1.97 ± 1.06, Text), acceptance (3.55 ± 2.23, Image), and PI (1.85 ± 1.05, Text) scores were found after identifying cricket as the insect ingredient. Compared to other informed conditions, the presentation of a real chocolate chip cookie containing insects achieved the highest scores on all affective scores (WTC: 3.4 ± 1.04, acceptance: 6.17 ± 1.89, PI: 3.07 ± 1.09). The greatest improvement in scores was observed after information about nutrition and sustainability benefits (based on ANOVA), which was more impactful for males than females (based on a t-test). Celebrity endorsement did not have a significant effect. The presentation of the actual CCC containing cricket flour (for visual observation only) significantly increased WTC, acceptance, and PI compared to presenting text and images alone. Acceptance, WTC, and certain information cues were significant predictors of PI for CCCs containing cricket flour.

Development of new frozen food products: The effects of product attributes and marketing factors on sales of frozen cooked rice and dumplings

AbstractFor successful new product development, it is crucial to devise product attributes and marketing strategies appropriate for the expected consumption contexts. However, the impacts of product attributes and marketing factors on sales across the various consumption contexts are scarcely examined. Thus, this study aims to compare the product attributes and marketing factors affecting the sales of new frozen cooked rice (meal) and frozen dumpling (snack) products, which have different consumption contexts. This study used Nielsen point‐of‐sale data on new frozen cooked rice and dumpling products in Korea for weeks 1–48 in 2020. The results reveal distinct key factors influencing sales for each product category. The key factors driving the sales of frozen cooked rice are formulation, recipe type, package type, weight diversity, and distribution channel diversity. The key factors driving the sales of frozen dumplings are the main ingredient, dumpling shape, sauce flavor, claim, weight diversity, bundling promotion, and distribution channel diversity. These findings contribute to new product development by increasing the understanding of product attributes and marketing factors in different consumption contexts.Practical ApplicationsThis manuscript contributes to the field of food consumer studies by comparing the impact of product attributes and marketing factors on frozen food sales in different consumption contexts, such as meals and snacks. The information obtained from this study provides useful insights for researchers in the sensory and gastronomic fields, as well as for food experts and practitioners. The results of this study can be of interest to the gastronomy sector, as we highlighted sensory factors such as main ingredients, sauce flavors, recipe types, and formulations as product attributes that influence consumers' food purchases. These findings can aid researchers and new product developers in the food industry in developing innovative foods that can potentially be incorporated into the sensory experience.

Quasi-3D Numerical Thermal Modelling of Electronic Systems in Package

The technology of three-dimensional (3D) packaging currently provides an increase in the efficiency of various electronic systems, bringing the volume of the package and heat dissipation into proper correlation. For many types of modern 3D packages the electro-thermal properties were not yet investigated. So the thermal modelling of 3D system in package (SiP) constructions became obliged for package designers. The commercial universal fully-3D simulators are not effective for practical engineers because of the complexity in using. The problem-oriented method called “Quasi-3D”was proposed and software tool Quasi-3D-Overheatwas developed to save the pre- and post-processing labour and CPU time. Numerical thermal modelling for different types of modern SiP structures: bridge-chip; p2 Pack; chip stack with TSV; embedded silicon fan-out was carried out and compared with measured temperatures. Simulation error was not more than 10–15%.

Biosensor in smart food traceability system for food safety and security

ABSTRACT The burden of food contamination and food wastage has significantly contributed to the increased prevalence of foodborne disease and food insecurity all over the world. Due to this, there is an urgent need to develop a smarter food traceability system. Recent advancements in biosensors that are easy-to-use, rapid yet selective, sensitive, and cost-effective have shown great promise to meet the critical demand for onsite and immediate diagnosis and treatment of food safety and quality control (i.e. point-of-care technology). This review article focuses on the recent development of different biosensors for food safety and quality monitoring. In general, the application of biosensors in agriculture (i.e. pre-harvest stage) for early detection and routine control of plant infections or stress is discussed. Afterward, a more detailed advancement of biosensors in the past five years within the food supply chain (i.e. post-harvest stage) to detect different types of food contaminants and smart food packaging is highlighted. A section that discusses perspectives for the development of biosensors in the future is also mentioned.

Evaluation of the Shelf life of Ready-to-Eat Fresh Bamboo Sprouts (Phyllostachys edulis) Packaged in a Modified Atmosphere or Vacuum: A Comparative Study.

During the last decades, the consumption of bamboo sprouts (Phyllostacys edulis) has increased because they are considered a "superfood". However, this product is characterized by a short shelf life due to the deterioration in quality parameters. The aim of this study was to investigate the application of two modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) systems (MAP1: 2% O2, 5% CO2, 93% N2 and MAP2: 3% O2, 7% CO2, 90% N2) to fresh-shelled ready-to-eat bamboo sprouts and compare these packaging systems with vacuum packaging during storage for 28 days at 4 °C using heat-sealable polyamide and polyethylene (PA/PE) trays. Several chemical-physical parameters (moisture content, water activity, pH, headspace composition, and firmness) were monitored, as well as CIELab colorimetric parameters and microbial growth. The quantification of selected organic acids was performed via UHPLC. Mathematical kinetic models were applied to study the evolution of total phenol (TPC), flavonoid (TFC), and carotenoid content (TCC) during storage. The evolution of antioxidant potential investigated by ABTS, DPPH, and β-carotene bleaching tests was also assessed. Results showed that at the end of the storage period, significant variations in the colorimetric parameters are detectable between the sprouts apical portion and the basal one, regardless of both applied MAPs. A linear reduction in both DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity was evidenced during storage, regardless of the type of packaging applied. In DPPH test samples packaged in MAP after 28 days of storage, they retain good antioxidant activity, whereas in vacuum, this activity is reduced by 50% compared to the initial value (IC50 values from 24.77 to 32.74 μg/mL and from 24.77 to 71.12 μg/mL for MAP2 and vacuum, respectively).

Hydrodynamic Insights on Floating Bubbling Fluidized Beds: Dynamic Solutions for Mitigating Gas Maldistribution

This study examined bubbling fluidized beds as an alternative to fixed-bed dry scrubbers on ships for reducing pollutants from marine fuels. It focused on overcoming the challenges of gas maldistribution/slug formation, especially under rough sea conditions. This research departed from traditional methods by introducing mobile internal elements into the bed emulsion phase and investigating their effectiveness in various settings, such as vertical, inclined, and rolling beds. A specialized hexapod-driven bubbling fluidized bed was developed to mimic marine operating conditions and to study the behavior of shipboard fluidized beds. Techniques such as digital image analysis (DIA) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) were used to observe bubble dynamics and granular phases, measuring local void fractions and particle velocities. A key finding is the effectiveness of moving internals in preventing bubble coalescence, which is critical for avoiding wall slugs, at different inclinations. Three types of packing were used as mobile internals: Super Raschig, Pall, and square rings. Super Raschig rings, which are characterized by high porosity, were the most efficient in reducing bubble coalescence, making them a preferred choice for offshore fluidized bed applications. This research contributes to the advancement of fluidized bed technology in marine applications and provides insight for future improvements.

Physical Quality Of Edible Film From Duck Feet Gelatin Using Various Glycerol Concentrations

Edible film is a type of packaging that can be consumed, can coat food products, and can be decomposed naturally (biodegradable). This research aims to assess the effect of applying glycerol on the physical quality of edible film from duck's feet gelatin. This research used a completely randomized design (CRD) followed by the Tukey test. The treatment was the use of 10% (T1), 20% (T2), 30% (T3), 40% (T4), and 50% (T5) glycerol. The treatments were repeated three times. The findings indicated that the use of glycerol had a significant difference in the yield, thickness, tensile strength, and Young's modulus of edible film (P<0.05), but was not significantly different in the elongation of edible film (P>0.05). The optimal glycerol concentration for edible film in this study was obtained by using 10% glycerol.

A discrete event simulation model assessing the impact of using new packaging in an agri-food supply chain

Fresh product loss is a global issue having negative impact on both the economy and the environment. The perishability of fruits and vegetables can lead to post-harvest losses in the supply chain as well as at consumer’s homes. Packaging plays an important role in preventing such losses. This paper focuses on the impact of new packaging on reducing product waste and other logistics costs. The objective is to evaluate the performance of an inventory control policy that uses new packaging to extend the shelf life of strawberries while maintaining their quality. We have developed a discrete event simulation model, that represents store inventory, by considering random consumer demand and random product shelf life, to assess various packaging types leading to different post-harvest lives of strawberries. We then use a simulation-optimisation approach to determine optimal inventory control parameters and conduct extensive numerical experimentations to evaluate the impact of the new packaging, under three distribution strategies (FIFO, FEFO, and LEFO). Results indicate that the new packaging has a significant impact: extending the shelf life of strawberries can reduce the total logistics cost by 0.66% (when using LEFO strategy) to 6.37% (FIFO strategy) and improve sales by 0.67% (FEFO) to 10.07% (FIFO).
