With a wealth of illustrations, examples, discussion questions, and case studies, the second edition of Food Packaging Science and Technology continues to thoroughly cover basic principles and technologies as well as advanced topics in food packaging applications with unparalleled depth and breadth of scope. New in this edition are five chapters that cover emerging packaging materials and technologies as well as additional case studies, expanded problem sets, and updated references. Additionally...

Packaging is an essential feature of modern life. The science and art of packaging is so vast that no single book or even a multivolume work could hope to cover the entire scope of topics, from Artwork to Zipper. This volume has selected some of the most commonly raised questions in the field of flexible packaging of food. No claim is made for comprehensive coverage of the field-nor even for an in-depth exploration of a limited number of topics. The novice should find sufficient material here to...

Shows why plastics, in aggregate, have become a toxin to humans, wildlife, and the planet, and proposes novel solutions that involve neither traditional recycling nor giving up plastic. "Plastics!" In the 50 years since Dustin Hoffman's character in The Graduate was instructed that this was the career field of the future, we have not been able to escape this ubiquitous but poorly understood material. Author Jack Buffington argues that the plastics crisis is careening toward a tipping point from...

In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. "The Box" tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of...

The book reviews the potential of natural hydrocolloids and active agents to develop sustainable edible packaging materials for food preservation. Natural hydrocolloids have been covered including their current and future sources, extraction methods, health effects (both positive and negative), and their ability to form different types of packaging such as film, casing, coating, mat, pad, etc. Similarly, natural active compounds have been evaluated carefully considering their sources, extraction...

Is the thought of the 51 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans keeping you up at night? Don't panic! The war on plastic has begun and you can help! In this book you'll find 101 little things you as an individual can do to avoid single-use plastics and help save the world.Governments, brands and corporations around the globe are on the case to solve the plastic epidemic, but whilst we wait for the effects of those initiatives to trickle through and alternatives to plastic to be found, let's hi...

To celebrate Professor Avi Bar-Cohen's 65th birthday, this unique volume is a collection of recent advances and emerging research from various luminaries and experts in the field. Cutting-edge technologies and research related to thermal management and thermal packaging of micro- and nanoelectronics are covered, including enhanced heat transfer, heat sinks, liquid cooling, phase change materials, synthetic jets, computational heat transfer, electronics reliability, 3D packaging, thermoelectrics,...

This work provides a comprehensive overview of the physical and engineering aspects of the thermal processing of packaged foods, i.e. the heating and cooling of food products hermetically sealed in containers. The methods used to establish the time and temperature of processes suitable to achieve adequate sterilization or pasteurization of the packaged food are examined and practical guidelines for the implementation of these methods are given. Written primarily for food processing engineers and...

This book is unique in its comprehensive coverage of all aspects of adhesive technology for microelectronic devices and packaging, from theory to bonding to test procedures. In addition to general applications, such as dies, substrate, and lid and chip stack attachments, the book includes new developments in anisotropic, electrically conductive, and underfill adhesives. Rapid curing methods such as UV, microwave, and moisture (which comply with current environmental and energy requirements) are...
