“…One important advantage of AP over MAP is that the capital investment involved is substantially lower; in some instances, only the sealing of the system that contains the oxygen absorbing sachet is required. This is of extreme importance to small-and mediumsized food companies for which the packaging equipment is often the most expensive item (Ahvenainen and Hurme 1997). …”

In response to the dynamic changes in current consumer demand and market trends, the area of Active Packaging (AP) is becoming increasingly significant. Principal AP systems include those that involve oxygen scavenging, moisture absorption and control, carbon dioxide and ethanol generation, and antimicrobial (AM) migrating and nonmigrating systems. Of these active packaging systems, the AM version is of great importance. This article reviews: (1) the different categories of AP concepts with particular regard to the activity of AM packaging and its effects on food products, (2) the development of AM and AP materials, and (3) the current and future applications of AM packaging.

“…Biosensors can be used as a small analytical tool integrated into the meat package to detect biogenic amines. The increase in diamines in poultry meat can be detected with a putrescine oxidase reactor combined with an amperometric hydrogen peroxide electrode (Ahvenainen 2003). This system can also be applied in the detection of histamine from rainbow trout meat and biogenic amines from fish muscles.…”

Intelligent packaging in meat industry: An overview of existing solutions

Traditional packaging systems are refused since these systems do not provide any information about the quality of food products to the consumers and manufacturers at any stage of supply chain. The essence of a new technology to monitor the food spoilage from farm to fork is emerged to reduce hazards such as food borne diseases. Moreover, the food quality monitoring systems clarify the main factors in food wastage during supply chain. Intelligent packaging is employed to provide information about the history of food handling and storage to enhance food products quality and meet consumer satisfactions. Meat is one of the most perishable foods which causes sever illnesses in the case of spoilage. Variety of indicators and sensors have been proposed to warn about meat spoilage in meat industry. In this paper an overview of proposed approaches as well as commercial technologies to monitor the quality of meat during storage and transportation is presented. Furthermore, the existing technologies are compared in the sense of advantages and disadvantages in meat packaging applications.

“…For instance, Ahvenainen et al defined the term "active packaging" as a type of packaging which changes the condition of the packed food to extend shelf-life or to improve safety or sensory properties while maintaining the quality of the packaged food [10]. Oxygen, ethylene and other scavengers, moisture absorbers, and releasing systems like antioxidants are examples of this category.…”

Maîtrise en génie chimiqueToutefois, puisque la structure de ces films est plus complexe, le contrôle de qualité de ces derniers est plus difficile. Dans l'industrie, des méthodes hors-ligne sont très souvent utilisées pour effectuer le contrôle de qualité des films produits. Le contrôle est nécessaire puisque la variabilité de la matière première ainsi que le changement des conditions opératoires amènent des modifications qui changent considérablement les propriétés du film. Par conséquent, une inspection en temps réel ainsi qu'un contrôle des films de polymère est nécessaire sur la ligne de production afin d'obtenir un contrôle de qualité s'approchant de l'analyse en temps réel.Un système d'imagerie proche infrarouge (NIR) rapide et non-destructif est proposé pour caractériser les films biodégradables d'acide polylactique contenant du talc produits par extrusion-soufflage et utilisés pour l'emballage. Le but ultime est d'utiliser le système pour faire un contrôle de qualité sur la ligne d'extrusion ainsi qu'après le post-traitement thermique, soit le recuit. Un ensemble d'échantillon de film de PLA contenant différentes concentrations en talc ont été fabriqués. Ces derniers ont ensuite été soumis à différentes conditions de recuit. Des images NIR ont été collectées avant la caractérisation des propriétés physiques et mécaniques ainsi que l'étanchéité aux gaz. Des techniques d'imagerie multivariées ont été appliquées aux images hyperspectrales. Celles-ci ont montré que la quantité de talc peut être déterminée et que l'information du spectre NIR permet de prédire les propriétés du film. Dans tous les cas, la méthode proposée permet de déterminer les variations dans les propriétés du film avec une bonne précision. iv AbstractFood packaging plays a great role in the food industry to maintain food products quality as long as possible. Polymer films are widely used in food packaging and also attract attention because of their outstanding advantages. Since petroleum-based polymers are known to cause environmental concerns, biodegradable polymers like PLA were studied more intensively in recent years due to their environmentally friendly properties. The application of reinforced films exceeds simple ones in achieving specific functions and enhancing their properties such as barrier properties. Since the films structures are more complex, quality control is more challenging. In industry, off-line methods are vastly used for quality control of the produced films while variability in raw materials and processing conditions substantially change the film specifications. Consequently, real-time inspection and monitoring of polymer films is needed on the production line to achieve a real-time quality control of the films.A fast and non-invasive near-infrared (NIR) imaging system is proposed to characterize biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) films containing talc, and produced by extrusion film-blowing for packaging applications. The ultimate goal is to use the system for quality control on the extrusion line, and after a po...
