The purpose of this study was to analyze the current status relating to food packaging and design for status of small and medium food enterprises. A company survey was conducted from June to October, 2015 and targeted 1300 small and medium domestic food enterprises. Finally, a total of 1300 (recovery rate 100%) useable data were selected. Statistical analyses were performed on the data utilizing the SPSS PASW Statistics 18.0 for Windows, such as descriptive statistics and frequency analysis. According to the results, awareness and importance of food labeling were high, but performance of English inscription of product name was relatively low. The most important reason for food labeling was ‘providing correct information on food’ 910 (72.8%). Accordingly, a system which can provide the latest information by continuously monitoring mandatory disclosure requirements for types of foods in individual countries is needed.
본 연구는 포장방법(함기, 진공포장)과 저장온도(4, 10℃)가 등심햄의 저장성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 미생물과 화학적 변질을 바탕으로 유통기한을 설정하기 위해 수행되었다. 등심햄을 포장방법과 저장온도 각각 두 가지로 28일간 저장하며 이화학적 특성과 항산화 활성 그리고 미생물 변화를 평가 하였다. 저장기간 동안 pH와 색도 항목에서 포장방법이나 저장온도에 따른 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 부패의 한계를 나타내는 지표는 총균수가 6log CFU/g에 도달하는 기간과 이에 상응하는 TBA값은 0.25mg of MDA/kg, VBN 은 10mg% 그리고 POV 값은 110meq/kg이었다. 이 주요 네 가지 항목의 평균 저장기간은 4℃ 함기 29일, 4℃ 진공 39일, 10℃ 함기 21일, 10℃ 진공 23일이었다. 따라서 4℃ 진공 포장이 다른 조합에 비해 저장성을 증진시켰다. 또한 지방산패도(TBA)와 단백질 변패도(VBN)에 있어서는 포장방법보다는 저장온도가 더 영향을 미쳐 저장성을 증진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 냉장저장 동안 등심햄의 유통기한을 설정하는데 TPC, TBA, VBN 그리고 POV가 좋은 지표가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
Quality changes of carrots thermally processed in a large size (5 kg) retort pouch during 52 weeks of storage were investigated under different packaging methods and package shapes. To improve the efficiency of thermal processing (121.1oC, 0.15 MPa), the carrot (i.e., solid) and the broth (i.e., liquid) of the carrot soup were separately packed and sterilized. The quality changes of carrot packed without liquid were compared with those with liquid. Two different package shapes such as rectangular parallelepiped and cube were also evaluated to figure out the efficiency of the heat penetration rate for a large-sized pouch. The TTT (F0-values = 6) were 27, 54, and 114 min from the rectangular parallelepiped, cube, and solid/liquid mixed groups, respectively. In the mixed groups, the hardness and chewiness of solids (carrot) were significantly smaller than those measured in the other groups as TTT increased. Carrots treated in the rectangular parallelepiped shape showed a significantly higher texture than the cube shape. The CV of hardness and chewiness in the rectangular parallelepiped and the cube shape were calculated as 7.56 and 47.19, and 29.16 and 65.28, respectively. This demonstrated that a more uniform quality can be obtained from the rectangular parallelepiped shape.
Quality changes of carrots thermally processed in a large size (5 kg) retort pouch during 52 weeks of storage period were investigated upon different packaging methods and package shapes. To improve the efficiency of thermal processing (121.1°C, 0.15 MPa), the carrot (i.e., solid) and the broth (i.e., liquid) of carrot soup were separately packed and sterilized. The quality changes of carrot packed without liquid were compared with those with liquid. Two different package shapes such as rectangular parallelepiped and cube were also evaluate to figure out the efficiency of the heat penetration rate for the large size of pouch. The location of cold points and the total thermal processing time (TTT) were different upon the treatment. Fo-values, satisfying the TTT to at least 6 min, were 27, 54, and 114 min from the rectangular parallelepiped, cube and solid/liquid mixed group, respectively. In the mixed groups, the hardness and chewiness of solids (carrot) was significantly smaller than that measured in the other groups as TTT increased. Carrots treated in the rectangular parallelepiped shape showed a significantly higher texture than the cube shape for both immediately after the thermal treatment and during the storage period. Coefficient of variation (CV), which indicates the quality variation within the same treatment, of texture properties obtained from the outside and the center of the sample were compared to evaluate the quality variation within the same treatment. The CV of hardness and chewiness of the rectangular parallelepiped and the cube shape were calculated 7.56 and 47.19, and 29.16 and 65.28, respectively. This demonstrated that more uniform quality could be expected from the thermal treatment in the rectangular parallelepiped shape
A novel nanocomposite LDPE film with UV protective properties was developed for active packaging applications. Initially, undoped and Mn-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the sol-gel method and the resulting particles were characterized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed an agglomerated nature and spherical morphology. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that all products were crystalline and in the form of rutile. The reflectance spectrum of undoped TiO2 NPs demonstrated a characteristic sharp edge at 410 nm. Subsequently, nanocomposite (NC) LDPE samples were prepared with the NPs by solvent precipitation followed by film casting. The optical and thermal properties of the NC samples were investigated. Incremental increases in Mn concentration from 0.25 mol % to 1.00 mol % were associated with progressive decreases in light transmission in the UV region. The melting and maximum decomposition temperatures of all NCs were 107 and 442-449 °C, respectively. The UV protective LDPE-based NC films exhibited superior photostability. Absorption in the FTIR spectra at 1716 and 1734 cm-1 changed after 4-wk exposure to UV for all film samples as a consequence of photodegradation. Finally, the photooxidation of perilla oil was assessed as an example of a UV protective packaging application. After 12 days, protection with 1.00 mol% Mn-doped TiO2-LDPE was associated with a gradual increase in PV, while protection with TiO2-LDPE was associated with a significant increase and protection with the control treatment was associated with a dramatic increase in PV. Hence, a 1.00 mol% Mn-doped TiO2-LDPE NC showed promise for UV shielding packaging applications.
Antioxidant packaging have been investigated for a very long time, since lipid oxidation may cause a lot of quality problems which are not just on lipids but also to other components of food during storage and transportation. Lipid oxidation of packaged food can be by partly excluded by adding antioxidants to the packaged food, however, in order to make sure sustain release of antioxidant in a relatively long term and avoid food safety problems concerned by consumers, controlled release antioxidant active packaging, on the basis of active packaging, has been introduced and investigated. Controlled release packaging (CRP) means that active compounds release from packaging materials in a controlled manner which offers a prolonged delivery of active compounds at predictable and reproducible release rate. This study focuses on three subject in regard to the realized methods of controlled release of antioxidants in food packaging, which include encapsulation of active compounds with a mesoporous matrix, modification of structure and composition of multilayer film, and preparation of hydrogel bio-based packaging polymers.
Along with the rapid development of China’s economy, the consumption of China’s consumer has also been increased. This research explores whether China’s consumers concern about product’s packaging as much as product’s quality and brand influence. It also discusses whether the product packaging is marked with recyclable logo on it and whether the packaging is harmful to human health.
China’s express industry is taken as an example in this research. According to the statistics by State Post Bureau, the total amount of China’s express business was 14 billion packages in 2014, and the volume was substantially increased to 20.67 billion packages. If each package was estimated as 0.2 kg, more than 4 million tons of packaging waste would come from 20 billion packages. Recyclable packaging material would reduce the amount of waste and alleviate environmental pollution. However, whether customers are willing to pay for it is a problem.
Product packaging can’t only attract customers from the visual perspective, but needs to be developed through multi-dimensional sensory conveying method. The product itself can be expressed directly through simple packaging. For instance, the Apple Inc. does not only shift consumer’s thoughts on mobile phone, meanwhile, it makes a change on high-end brand mobile phone packaging for China’s consumers. Prior to the emergence of Apple mobile phone, high-end mobile phone brand was adopted luxurious and sophisticated packaging method. With the entrance of Apple into China’s market, the unique style of Apple’s simplicity is followed by other mobile phone brands.
This research is elaborated on China’s consumer’s reaction on innovative ecological packaging and their cognition to food packaging security. It also gives inspiration to enterprises how to catch consumer’s eyeballs through innovative ecological packaging and further make enterprises access to benefits.
최근 농촌 인구의 감소 및 고령화현상, 도농소득격차의 심화로 농촌의 부정적 상황이 지속되고 있으며 농업부가가치 및 농가 소득이 정체되는 것을 타파하기 위해 농업 6차 산업에 대한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 농업 6차산업의 기대효과는 농업의 고부가가치화, 농가소득 증대, 농촌경 제 활성화를 위한 6차 산업화와 농촌산업화 전략이다. 이를 위해 체계적 인 방안을 모색하여 농산물 생산뿐만 아니라 가공, 제조, 체험, 관광, 숙박, 농가레스토랑, 판매 등 모든 분야가 융 ․ 복합적으로 발전할 수 있는 연구를 지속적으로 진행해야 한다. 특히, 오늘날과 같이 고객의 요구가 다양해지고 시장이 세분화 되고 있는 상황에서 농산물도 품질, 기능, 가격 등의 차별화만으로는 더 이상 경쟁력을 확보할 수 없고, 다른 상품과 달리 소비자가 쉽게 구매결정을 하는 저관여 제품이므로, 더욱 더 포장 디자인의 역할이 중요하다고 볼 수 있다. 상품판매를 위한 포장디자인은 농산물 소비량 증대와 농촌경제를 성장시키는 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며 이에 대한 전략 방안이 필요하다. 현재 농산물 포장디자인은 거의 유 사한 형태와 디자인으로 판매되고 있으며 이는 글로벌 경쟁 제품과 비교 했을때 경쟁력이 약하다고 할 수 있다. 국내 농산물 포장디자인과 해외 사례를 비교 분석함으로써 농촌산업의 활성화를 위한 농산물 포장디자 인의 전략을 제안하고자 한다.
최근 국내에서는 월성 1호기 및 고리 1호기를 포함하여 운영 중인 원자력발전소가 노후화함에 따라 원전 해체에 대한 관심 이 많이 증대되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 월성 1호기의 계속운전이 최근 결정되었으며, 고리 1호기의 경우 2017년 6월 영구정 지하기로 결정되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 상업용 원자로로서는 국내 최초로 해체가 예정된 고리 1호기에 대해, 원자로 압 력용기 자체의 해체로 인해 발생하는 방사성폐기물 최종 처분량을 원자로 압력용기 절단 방법 및 방사성폐기물 처분용기를 고려하여 산정하였다. 처분용기를 고려한 방사성폐기물 처분량을 산정한 결과 원자로 압력용기 몸통 부위보다는 반구 형태 의 헤드 부분을 작게 절단할수록 최종 처분량이 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 경주 방폐장의 200 L 및 320 L 드럼 처분 용 처분용기의 경우 무게 제한으로 인해 적재효율이 좋지 못한 것으로 나타났다.
In the food industry, freezing storage has been an important process for maintaining the properties of food materials. In order to maintain the quality of blanched Colocasia esculenta (L.), Schott stem, packaging, freezing, and thawing methods were optimized by determinations of the physicochemical properties. For the comparison of packaging method, Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott stem packed by air containment had the lowest significant differences of properties such as hardness and drip loss compared to the control samples. Overall, the drip loss of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott stem had lower value at fast freezing rate (immersion freezing). Considering the result of the drip loss, high frequency thawing was more effective than other thawing methods. Therefore, it was supposed that samples treated by air-containing packaging, immersion freezing, and high frequency thawing used the optimal method to maintain the original quality of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott stem.
Food freezing preservation is an important process due to its high quality and long shelf-life. In order to improve the quality of frozen sweet potato stem, the freezing rate, thawing, and packaging method was optimized by the determination of physical properties. There was no significant difference among the treatment of freezing rate. Further, the drip loss of sweet potato stem was higher at a relatively fast freezing rate (immersion freezing) than at slow freezing rate (natural convection freezing at -20 or -40oC). For the comparison of packaging methods, the aircontaining packaged sweet potato stem had the lowest significant differences from the result of color, pH, and hardness. From the result of the drip loss, the high frequency and microwave using thawing samples were more effective than room temperature and water thawing. Therefore, fast freezing and thawing rate with air-containing package were recommended to obtain the better quality of sweet potato stem.
A simplified prerequisite program is a basic element for an effective HACCP system operating in small meat packaging plants. We analyzed current configuration of the prerequisite evaluation checklists and classified according to two categories of general hygiene management and prerequisite requirements. The general hygiene management items overlapping with non-HACCP plant evaluation items were excluded except for the high rate of non-compliances. Non-compliance rates were calculated to determine the weak points of the current prerequisite program operation, and the potential risk elements were included in the simplified prerequisite requirements. The data used for the analysis of non-compliance rates were from the HACCP accreditation evaluation inspection reports by the Korea Livestock Products HACCP Accreditation Service. Of the existing 54 evaluation items, we selected 37 core items as simplified prerequisite requirements for meat packaging plants. In addition, we recommended simple modification of the evaluation items, with one item for evaluation of one check point.
팽이버섯 포장필름의 국산화 및 동남아시아 지역 수출용 필름개발을 목적으로 개발중인 포장필름을 현재 시중에 유통 중인 포장필름과 수입산 포장필름과 함께 저장 중 팽이버섯에 적용하여 이화학적 특성변화를 검토하였다. 각 포장재 원단으로 포장된 팽이버섯을 저장 온도에 따라 중량 감소율을 측정하여 선도유지를 평가하였다. 4oC에 보관한 팽이버섯은 모든 포장필름에서 중량 변화가 거의 없었으며 15oC의 경우 수입 포장필름과 국내 유통중인 포장필름이 시험용 포장필름 보다 더 많은 중량 감소율이 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 신장률을 측정한 결과, 15oC에서는 수입 포장필름, 국내 유통 중인 포장필름, 실험용 포장필름 순으로 신장률 변화가 크게 측정되었으나, 나머지 온도조건에서는 세 가지 포장 조건 모두 자루 신장률 변화가 비슷하게 나타났다. pH의 변화는 25oC에서 수입포장필름, 국내유통 포장필름, 실험용 포장필름 순으로 pH가 낮게 나타났다. 색도의 경우 저장 온도 4~25oC에서 저장한 시료는 저장 기간 동안 명도가 약간 낮아졌으나 포장 필름의 종류는 팽이버섯 색도 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 총 6종의 유기산이 검출되었으며, 종류는 oxalic acid(수산), lactic acid(젖산), malic acid(사과산), citric acid(구연산), acetic acid(초산) 및 succinic acid(호박산)로 나타났다. 팽이버섯의 유기산 총 함량은 저장 전 5.58%, 4oC에서 저장 후 4.70~5.50%, 15oC에서 저장 후 4.51~5.48%, 25oC에서 저장 후 4.91~6.07%, 35oC에서 저장 후 4.96~8.34%로 나타났다. 팽이버섯의 주요 유기산은 oxalic acid(1.11~4.28%)와 malic acid(0.48~1.96%)로 나타났다. 저장 온도에 따라서는 4~25oC에서 저장한 시험구는 유기산 함량의 변화가 크지 않았으나, 35oC에서 저장한 시험구는 malic acid의 함량이 낮아짐과 동시에 acetic acid의 함량이 높아졌다. 각각의 온도 조건에서 저장성을 실험한 결과 포장용 필름 원단에 따라서는 유기산 함량 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
본 연구는 자몽종자추출물이 도포 포장지의 항균활성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 저장 안전성 중 항균력을 확인 하기 위하여 그람 양성균(B. cereus, L. monocytogenes) 2종 과 그람 음성균(E. coli, S. enteritidis) 2종을 선택하였다. 자몽종자추출물의 농도별(60-5,000 ppm)에 따른 그람 양성 균의 투명환 크기는 최저 5 mm에서 최고 21 mm로 나타내 었다. 또한 그람 음성균의 투명환 크기는 최저 0 mm에서 최고 7 mm로 나타내었다. 자몽종자추출물을 농도별(60- 5,000 ppm)로 도포 포장시킨 경우 그람 양성균의 투명환 크기는 최저 5 mm에서 최고 19 mm로 나타내었다. 또한 그람 음성균의 투명환 크기는 최저 7 mm에서 최고 11 mm 로 나타내었다. 자몽종자추출물을 처리한 도포 포장지를 이용하여 즉석섭취 식품에 대한 저장 안정성을 알아본 결 과, GFSE의 농도(1,000, 5,000, 10,000 ppm) 차이에 따라 각각 11시간, 16시간, 18시간 동안 신선도가 유지 되었고, 일반 세균수 측정 결과, 1,000, 5,000 ppm 및 10,000 ppm 에서 각각 4.5 log CFU/g, 4.8 log CFU/g, 4.2 log CFU/g로 측정되어 저장성을 증가 시킴을 알 수 있었다.
신선편이 버섯의 유통 시 포장실태 및 관능적 품질을 파 악하기 위하여 2009년 1월~10월에 계절별로 수도권 인근 의 대형할인마트를 직접 방문하여 신선편이 버섯 제품 총 51종을 수집하여 조사하였다. 수집된 신선편이 버섯은 혼 합형과 단독형으로는 느타리버섯, 팽이버섯은 송이채 다듬 어지거나 큰느타리버섯, 표고버섯은 슬라이스나 다이스 절 단되어 바로 조리(튀김, 볶음, 전골, 육개장, 찌개 등) 에 사 용할 수 있도록 하였고 대부분이 알루미늄이나 PS, PET, nylon 등을 재료로 한 용기에 담겨 PVC 랩이나 견고한 PP, PS 덮개 형태로 포장되었으며 89%가 제조일이나 유통 기한을 표시하였다. 수집된 신선편이 버섯 제품의 관능학 적 품질 조사 결과, 갈변 발생이 심한 것이 10%, 이취 발 생이 심한 것이 4%를 차지하였으며 전체적 품질은 90%의 제품이 판매 가능한 수준이었다. 계절에 따른 관능학적 품 질에 차이를 보여 가을과 겨울에는 상품성이 높게 유지되 었으나 봄과 여름에는 갈변이나 이취 발생 억제를 위한 신 선도 관리에 유의할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.
This research was conducted to estimate the effect of packaging methods on the color and taste-related precursors in Hanwoo (Korean cattle) beef during aging. Following packaging with vacuum (VACP), low oxygen-modified atmosphere (LOMAP; 0% O2/20% CO2/80% N2) or vacuum skin+LOMAP (VSP+LOMAP), the loins and top rounds were aged at 2℃ for 14 days and lipid oxidation (TBARS content), surface color, glucose and lactate contents were measured. TBARS and glucose contents were not different by packaging methods in both loins and top rounds. The a* (redness), b* (yellowness) and C* (chroma) values were higher (p<0.05) in VACP-aged beef as compared to the other beef. Lactate content was significantly higher (p<0.05) in both LOMAP- and VSP+LOMAP-aged beef than in VACP-aged beef at day 14 of aging. These findings suggested that VACP was the most effective in maintaining color stability but LOMAP was more effective in maintenance of some taste-related precursor compared to VACP.
The short-grain rice cultivar Choochung with a rough rice moisture content of 21% was air-dried to equilibrate themoisture content to 15, 16, and 17%. After dehulling, brown rice was packaged for storage in laminated paper orLDPE/OPP plastic-film bags (10-kg size). After storage of the packaged rice kernels in plastic and paper bags at10, 15, and 20oC, the quality characteristics of the rice were evaluated weekly for 16 weeks. Serious losses in theinternal moisture content of the kernels were observed during storage in paper bags, regardless of the moisture con-tent of the kernels or the storage temperature. The plastic-film packaging was effective in maintaining the weightof the kernels for all treatments, but severe fat oxidation problems were encountered, especially when the initialmoisture content of the kernel was 17% and/or the storage temperature of the kernels was 20oC. Before two weeks,the fat acidity value of the kernels reached 20mL KOH/100g, a marginal limit for an acceptable taste of cookedrice. Based on this study, the recommended environment for the storage of brown rice for efficient economic storageof the kernels is an initial kernel moisture content of 16%, laminated plastic-film packaging, and a sub-refrigerationtemperature of 15oC.
