Intelligent packaging to open the door of food safety

With advances in technology, intelligence has become a blue ocean market development. As a sunrise industry, as long as the industry and smart detached have gained tremendous benefits. 4.0 With the advent of the industrial concept, food packaging is also gradually toward high-end, smart packaging began to enter people's vision, to say the smart packaging in which intelligent, most relating to food safety issues is, smart packaging can detect the quality of food, or authenticity, to protect the rights of consumers to the maximum extent, and product traceability function.

These special performance package just to meet the special requirements of goods and special environmental conditions, mainly refers to the use of the mechanical, electrical, electronic and chemical properties of packaging technology. Smart packaging market continues to expand at present, the domestic food safety situation is very grim, and has been to the extent imminent, so we urgent need to improve the intelligence from the packaging, to maximize the use of various means to ensure food safety. The intelligent packaging is of strong measures to ensure food safety, but also to be developed.

Smart packaging in developed countries has gained enough attention and development, while at home, smart packaging development and applications in various fields is still in its infancy. But he also pointed out that from another perspective, although our smart packaging applications are still lagging behind the developed countries, but our smart packaging market have broad margins wait mining.

To meet the delivery requirements and the need to reduce the cost of circulation process, the future of food packaging machinery requires the ability to perform high-speed production, while some products also require packaging machinery and production machinery of convergence, but also the use of continuous work or long work. Also, you must reduce the rejection rate and failure rate, so that normal productivity can be improved, the trend is to make packaging machinery further automation.

Usually only foreign temperature - time history identification (TTI), is the breeding of microorganisms in food packaging instruction marks (MGI), photochromic indicating identification, identification by the physical impact, leakage, microbial contamination identification, radio frequency tags (RFID) , DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is defined as smart packaging labels; and the modified atmosphere packaging, antimicrobial packaging, ethylene adsorption packaging, oxygen packaging, self-heating / self-cooling packaging, odor adsorption packaging, fragrance release packaging, moisture packaging is defined as a function of the packaging.

Three categories of environmental plastic packaging

If you press the raw materials that so environmentally friendly plastic bags mainly into three categories: recycled plastics, biodegradable plastics and edible plastic.

First, the recycled plastic

Recycled plastic is reused plastic, after grinding operation by mechanical blade, thereby completing the re-use of plastics.

Recycled plastic refers to the processing of waste plastics by pretreatment, melt granulation, modified, and other physical or chemical means re-obtain plastic raw materials, plastic is reused.

Plastics recycling biggest advantage is the price is cheaper than the new material, although it is the performance of the property as a whole are not as strong new material, but we did not need to use the kind of performance in all aspects of property and many products are good material productions to make it, so no need to waste a lot of attributes, and recycled materials will be different, depending on the needs, only one aspect of the process attribute, it is possible to create a corresponding product can be, so do not let the loss of resources .

Second, biodegradable plastics

Biodegradable plastics is the added amount of the additive in the production process (such as starch, modified starch or other cellulosic, photosensitizers, biodegradation and the like), decreased stability, easier in the natural environment biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable plastic is divided into four categories:

1, biodegradable plastics

Holding dry, without dark, wide range of applications, not only it can be used for agricultural film, bags, and is widely used in the field of medicine. With the development of modern biotechnology, bio-degradable plastics more and more attention, it has become a hot research and development of a new generation.

2, the light-degradable plastics

Photosensitizer incorporated in the plastic, the plastic in the sunshine gradually decompose. It belongs to an earlier generation of degradable plastics, the drawback is the time due to sunlight degradation and climate change are difficult to predict, and therefore can not control the degradation time.

3, water degradable plastics

Add water-absorbing material in the plastic, disposable after use in water that can dissolve away, mainly for medical and health aspects appliances (such as medical gloves), to facilitate destruction and disinfection.

4, light / biodegradable plastics

The combination of light and microbial degradation of a type of plastic, it also has the characteristics of light and microbial degradation of plastics.

Third, edible plastic

Edible plastic, is an edible packaging, ie, edible packaging, generally composed of starch, protein, polysaccharide, fat, complex class composition of matter, is widely used as plastic wrap, packaging films, high packaging, food packaging, Pastry packaging, flavoring and packaging.

With the development of modern food industry, food packaging constantly updated, one can improve the contradiction between environmental protection, new packaging materials and food packaging technology materials - edible packaging stand out. Edible packaging material means that after the realization of the function when the packaging, the material can be transformed into an animal or human edible raw materials, packaging materials can be achieved is a function of the transformation of special packaging materials. Edible packaging material is a waste-free packaging, is a resource-based environmentally friendly packaging materials.

Food Packaging Evolution

Food packaging is a topic of ancient and modern, both ancient agrarian age, or science developed today, are the people throughout the research and exploration of the topic.

   As early as in ancient times, humans began to explore food packaging. Ancient human to make long-term storage or portable food, they put leaves or vines loaded food prepared in blue, or mount bamboo tube.

   Around 1000 BC, the Greeks with cask as food containers and packaging, and outputs the country, at a time when consumers use packaging made from sheep or pigskin placing food to carry.

   As early as 3,000 years ago in ancient China, people have started using ceramics as canned food containers to be enclosed. Which are described in detail in "Arts for the People", "the great cause of Supplements" and other books.

   Food packaging in the true sense, canned food stored from the beginning, which originated in the early 19th century. 1804, French Appert successfully use glass bottles to save food, since the emergence of the use of glass as a food packaging cork.

   1810, British Durand made successful use of food packaging made of tinplate, the so-called tin cans. Thereafter, more and more metallic material is used for the manufacture of food packaging.

   Early 20th century, all kinds of plastic, paper composite cans into production, so that food packaging containers made of rigid canister to extend soft cans, containers varieties more innovative, diverse and practical.

   Around 1960, Taiwan imported plastic films for food packaging, from the early single MSG bags to today combine plastic film, metal foil, paper and other permutations and combinations of high-performance multi-layer flexible packaging materials, has become a mainstream food packaging.

   In recent years, high barrier film material because of its barrier properties, light weight and other characteristics become an important trend in the development of food flexible packaging materials, EHA Xiamen long plastic barrier film developed, with its excellent barrier properties, high-temperature cooking, as well as the case of the same barrier properties thinner, become an excellent representative of this trend.

75 years of food packaging in the field of ten major technological breakthroughs

Development of all walks of life are inseparable from the progress of science and technology, the food industry is no exception. Food irradiation sterilization, fruits and vegetables modified atmosphere packaging, aseptic packaging, microwave heating equipment, mechanically deboned and other food processing sectors are technological development brought about by technological breakthroughs. Recently, the US Food Technology Association journal "Food Technology" (FoodTechnology) published an article, selected the top ten scientific and technological breakthroughs in the past 75 years in the field of food science and technology.

    Fruit and Vegetable Technology Atmosphere: Atmosphere technology is artificially controlled atmosphere storage library gas, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene composition ratio, humidity, temperature (frozen above the critical point) and pressure by inhibiting cellular respiration stored products amount to delay its metabolic processes, so that in the nearly dormant state, rather than cell death state, which can be maintained for a long time is substantially constant stored material texture, color, taste, nutrition, and thus achieve the effect of long-term preservation. Even after being stored product from start preservation Atmosphere environment, its cellular activities in the natural environment will remain normal metabolic rate, will not soon mature corruption.

    Aseptic packaging, storage and transportation technology: food aseptic packaging refers to after sterilization has access to commercial sterility of the product, enclosed in sterilized containers in a sterile environment perfusion, after filling containers remain sealed in order to prevent re-infection, in order to not add preservatives, not get a longer shelf life under refrigeration conditions by packing method.

    Food Irradiation: Also known as "food irradiation" or "ionizing radiation sterilization" means the food is exposed to ionizing radiation. This process can be eliminated, microbes, bacteria, viruses, or tiny insects on food. Other applications also inhibit sprouting, delay ripening, fruit juice production and promotion of promoting rehydration and the like. This principle is based on the energy of electromagnetic radiation sterilization destruction organisms DNA structure, so microbes can no longer continue to multiply, but also can cause the plant to stop growing differentiation of the germ. Initially, food irradiation technology is considered highly desirable to ensure food safety solutions. But the public's concerns, Section blind opposition, cost and failed marketing, making the potential of this technology can not be played. Even the great scientific breakthroughs can not remove all the obstacles.

    Modern food analysis techniques: the rapid development of electronic technology has spawned many new analytical instruments. With these advanced equipment, people can learn more about our food from the molecular level, the process for new food products and new packaging development paved the way.

    Microwave: Microwave is the use of microwave energy absorption of food in the microwave field leaving the self-heating of cooking utensils. Microwave microwave oven microwave generator of the microwave electric field in the microwave cavity to establish and to take certain measures to try to make this microwave field evenly distributed in the furnace chamber, the food placed in the microwave electric field, by the control center to control the cooking time and microwave electric field strength, for a variety of cooking process. In 1997, more than 90 percent of American households own a microwave. This show has become a priority to facilitate the needs of the modern family.

    Mechanically deboned chicken: chicken mechanical method to quickly get a lot of boneless chicken, so chicken can be made into a variety of shapes at low cost. Chicken McNuggets we know is based on the development of mechanically deboned chicken. In 1992, the United States, consumption of chicken over beef.

    Agricultural "green revolution": the 1960s some Western countries to high-yielding grain varieties and agricultural technology promotion to parts of Asia, Africa and South America, prompting a technical reform activities of food production. But it leads to a lot of use and soil fertilizer, pesticide degradation. The early 1990s, also found in its high-yielding grain low levels of minerals and vitamins, used as a food of vitamins and minerals often due to malnutrition and weakened the ability of people to resist and engage in manual labor of infectious diseases, and finally to a national labor productivity lower, sustained economic development is impaired. Thus it was suggested that the idea of ​​a second Green Revolution, the main aim of the use of international force, to foster both developing new high-yielding crop varieties and rich in vitamins and minerals.

    Application of plant proteins in food: vegetable protein is a protein source is extracted from plants in the nutrition and animal protein is similar, but easier to digest. The most abundant plant protein containing soy. But in the diet, plant protein and animal protein to match consumption. Many plant proteins can be used in place of animal protein, which provides a possible solution for solving many of the problems of agricultural sustainable development.

    Genetically Modified Food: The so-called genetically modified food, is through genetic engineering techniques will one or more exogenous gene transfer to a particular organism, and it effectively express the corresponding product (polypeptide or protein), this process called transgenic. To genetically modified organisms as raw materials for food processing is genetically modified food.

    The relationship between food and health: food and health are inextricably linked, with the continuous development of science, people have a lot of changes to the food health awareness. People come to realize the different effects of various nutrients on the human body, but also a better understanding of food into the human body and how it is digested and absorbed metabolism, human health associated with the future of food.

2015 annual trend of food packaging

There are five trends in 2015 will continue to have a profound impact on the food packaging and other related industries: the increasing importance of sustainable development; the demand for supply chain visibility; the rise of new barrier / coating of packaging technology; continued to lightweight packaging attention; the importance of accessibility Kaifeng.

The increasing importance of sustainable development

In addition to quality, one of the most important requirements of sustainable development are also consumers. A survey recently conducted AsiaPulp & Paper showed that more than half (56%) of Americans say they prefer to buy products with a sustainable packaging. In addition, 42% of Americans are willing to pay more for sustainable packaging, nearly 60 percent also said they are looking for with recycled material wrapping presents methods. Therefore, sustainable packaging is a very important trend that will continue to grow in 2015.

Consumer preference for sustainable packaging is affecting their purchase intent, sustainable packaging for brands and companies, have a very important environmental and business sense. Therefore, the brand must consciously and proactively take steps to further improve the sustainability of product packaging; if you do not, they are likely to hand over their customers who use the company's priority to sustainable packaging.

The demand for supply chain transparency

In order to avoid costly environmental and legal violations whole relationship to corporate reputation, customers and shareholders of the potential damage. An important area in 2015 is the brand must be a priority supply chain transparency. Improve the entire supply chain traceability of packaging is one of the key ways to further enhance the brand sustainable packaging. Brands can adjust resources on how to communicate to consumers how they communicate in the procurement, transport and cycle in the supply chain traceability. In order to give customers a clearer understanding of how best to recycle packaging materials can also enhance the brand label instructions. In addition, companies can manufacture reusable packaging to expand secondary use, from greener purchasing decisions to create positive brand association effects.

The rise of new barrier material / coating technology

Paper and cardboard in the coming years is expected to have significant growth. SmithersPira Investigation Agency, said: Based on current trends, by 2017 the annual growth rate of the industry will be up to 6%. It will be worth $ 70 billion worldwide, over 30 million tons of paper output. Although the development of packaging industry, which is a great good news, but it also poses a challenge to the brand: how to ensure safe and effective use of coating technology in such packaging, especially when food contact.

The brand will continue to focus on developing those renewable, easy recycling, biodegradable, or preferably three have a new barrier technology. In order to obtain the above-mentioned priority recyclable and renewable balance, some brands are exploring and implementing bio-plastics and waterborne coatings barrier technology. By 2015, the new barrier technology will become a key business brand packaging.

Continued emphasis on lightweight packaging

In order to achieve throughout the supply chain, sustainability and cost savings, many industries including food and beverages, including a growing emphasis on reducing packaging weight. Lightweight packaging for the sustainable development of the environment is important, so the brand must ensure the effective application of this technique to balance the environmental impact and the consumer experience. Evolution of lightweight packaging, also called the "packaging efficiency model" is a good example. This model provides a package capable of covering the entire life cycle of the overall analysis.

Importantly, the model takes into account the following factors, used in the production of resources; product protection force; transport and display efficiency; to provide a method of positive consumer experience; and the impact of the termination of life. Looking ahead to 2015, how to meet the requirements of sustainable development, to ensure the durability and light and complete customer experience to maintain a balance between these persons, the brand is very important.

The importance of accessibility Kaifeng

Everyone encountered difficult to open the package. Whether it is very difficult to dismantle toy packaging of children, the elderly or laborious demolition of drugs, reduce barriers to opening different types of packaging is a clear demand. The company found that the obstacles preventing Kaifeng and establish a method of ensuring customer loyalty. The easiest solution is to use without any tools you can open the package. In 2015, the brand must continue to recognize the difficult unopened packaging and can reduce the time and hassle of packaging solutions together. On the other hand, could lead to lower customer satisfaction and overall performance adversely affected.

Although these trends are not yet available in 2015 an exhaustive list of the packaging industry, but we still hope that these descriptions can be used as an effective framework to alert suppliers should continue to monitor and what issues priority. Understanding these trends and proper integration of elements such as the sustainable development of packaging and the use of safe and convenient priority coating technology can improve brand loyalty, enhance reputations, improving overall business results.

Food packaging machine at an average growth rate of 11% to 12% growth per year

Food vacuum packaging food into the bags, taking the air bag package, after reaching a predetermined degree of vacuum, complete the sealing process. Various cooked products such as chicken, ham, sausage, grilled fish, beef jerky; pickled products such as pickled vegetables and a wide variety of fresh foods require soy, fruit and other more and more use of vacuum packaging. Vacuum-packed foods long shelf life, greatly extending the shelf life of food. Our vacuum packaging machine started in the late 1970s, only 100 kinds of product variety, to the current product varieties has reached more than 3000 kinds.

In recent years, food and vacuum packaging machine industry average annual growth rate of 11% to 12% growth, while total sales are about 10% growth in the rate of growth. In terms of market size, food vacuum packaging machine market demand may reach 230 billion yuan. Currently vacuum-packed products have been widely used in people's lives. Vacuum-packed product has many advantages, quality and freshness, corrosion and rust, the space occupied by small, easy to carry and so on. The small home vacuum packaging machine is becoming a market darling. Given the time to market for household vacuum packaging machine is not very long, not high degree of commercial food vacuum packaging machine in terms of market penetration. On the technical side, in general, China's food and packaging machinery more with a single, complete sets of small, generic models and more, to meet the special requirements, special materials, equipment less. More low-tech products, high-tech value-added, high-productivity products less; intelligent device is still in the development stage.

Chinese food vacuum packaging machine market research and prospects of Chinese industry research Posted forecast (2015-2020) said: Although China vacuum packaging machinery yet it is in the initial stages of development, but in our country there is no refrigeration skills throughout the situation, skills in the use of vacuum packaging can greatly reduce the loss of fruit thinning, grain and oil storage and transportation experience; moreover, the use of vacuum packaging is simple, easy to automate with batch disposition, lower cost, will be accounted for in the packaging industry with our fresh food Habitat increasingly important position. Information from the China Food Industry Association, the National Development and Reform Commission has food processing and food packaging machinery as a key priority in the field of industrial development, in the future a longer period of time, China's food processing and packaging machinery, the annual growth rate is expected to exceed 12% .

On the development trend of food packaging

                                               

                                       Source: Global Network plastics

Japan now produces seven million copies a day and consume cooked food packaging, it is possible to have such a large amount of consumption, the following factors:

(1) Consumers are used to sterilize packaged foods;

(2) continuous refrigeration system is not yet fully developed;

(3) Japanese homes had no place to enlarge refrigerators;

(4) increasing meal outside, mainly in order to save time;

5) For the parts needed to increase rice snack;

(6) People are not accustomed to Western or Chinese cooking;

(7) have a retail store within a short distance, one can purchase a day or two.

Therefore, in the fierce competition of canned food and frozen food, cooking food quickly established their own market.

Japan Canned Food Association in July 1971 changed the constitution, approved by the MAF, make RP-F retort pouches and cans or glass bottles with the products, they are included in their product range.

Japan Canned Food Association and MAF is currently undertaking a collaborative program in order to build RP-F retort pouch specifications and test methods of scientific cooking food. United States Natick lab is currently under way to obtain the results of basic research institute predicted would be helpful, but through cooperation around the world, will further confirm the safety of cooked foods.

The main technical characteristics of flexible packaging is easy to heat and has good heat resistance, high temperature short time in the future seek to adopt a law for a short time by rapidly bactericidal, retention of fresh flavor. Hydrolock digester French invention is most suitable application of high temperature short time high temperature sterilization method. France has worked with Toyo Seikan, we began to use this method.

Due to the development of this technology, the advantages and disadvantages of corrosion filling method of discussion time is getting closer, for cooked frozen food, to maintain its fresh taste and nutritional value, but also can be sterilized with high temperature short time method.

Snack foods will promote the rapid development of plastic packaging industry

                               Source: Global Network plastics

As China's economic development and improve the consumer level, people's consumption patterns increasingly diversified leisure. In this era of rapid consumption, fast and convenient snack foods people seems to have become the new darling of daily food consumption. With the gradual growth of the main force of 80,90 for the consumer, snack foods also conform to this development, the rapid growth of total consumption up, which also led to the development of plastic packaging industry.
    From the current pattern of snack food products, China's snack foods can be divided into eight categories, namely, puffed cereals, fried nuts, fried potatoes, fried cereal, non-fried nuts, confectionery class, meat fish, dried fruits and vegetables. In addition to meat, poultry and fish which require cooking and packaging, other types of snack foods are BOPP, BOPET, CPP and aluminized composite. Its main inner layer having a heat-sealing effect for the CPP, PE film; the middle layer barrier effect was better aluminized, etc., the outer layer of the printed better-BOPP, BOPET and so on.
    2014 BOPP, BOPET, CPP price trend, maintain Yindie trend. Up to now, CPP composite film the highest price, the mainstream offer remained at 13,300 yuan / ton; BOPP film thickness mainstream offer in 12,200 yuan / ton; BOPET film mainstream offer in 8400 yuan / ton. BOPET trading range in which larger and start maintaining a large decline in the second half of the space; BOPP and CPP remains relatively stable, but it also reflects the market's lack of seasonal support, maintain its prices Yindie trend. In fact, since the second half of 2010 year downhill trend in the plastic packaging market for film plant, the serious homogenization of competition and contradiction of supply exceeding demand in the various types of film industry is more prominent problem, in terms of packaging for snack foods market face greater adjustment.
    As a kind of snack food consumption beyond the necessities of life in China is still in the development stage, there also exist many problems the development process of China's market leisure. First, China's development of smaller snack foods, snack food sales only total social retail sales of 21 trillion yuan of 2.57%; secondly, many snack food companies, showing small and scattered situation; industry concentration is low. Production and operation of highly fragmented, the top ten companies account for about 30% of market concentration; and third, consumer product safety, health, lack of trust.
    Although the snack food industry in a more difficult stage of development, but also in the plastic packaging industry overcapacity fittest stage, the situation is not optimistic, but from another perspective, China's snack food has not yet reached its peak, or will develop late and packaging to bring a major breakthrough.
    Our country is a large agricultural country, and is closely linked with the agricultural resources in the production of snack foods. Different regions have very different agricultural resources, high industrial concentration, thereby forming a number of unique advantages in resources have snack foods category, leading the development trend of Chinese snack foods. Therefore, the future of the snack food industry will form a large number of excellent snack food companies.

    In recent years, the total amount of food consumption and leisure are double-digit growth every year, higher than the food industry average growth rate of two percent or so. Data show that at present, China's annual per capita consumption of snack foods about 30 grams, the equivalent of only 3200 grams per capita consumption in developed countries of 9.3 ‰, which shows that our convenience snack food has broad room for growth.
