Microbiological Criteria for Ensuring the Safety of Mustard

Опубликована: Июль 10, 2024

Mustard, a widely used condiment, is derived from mustard seeds and partially defatted flour. Varieties of are primarily distinguished by the ratios spices in their production. This study assessed microbiological safety products Mustard Ketchup Factory Poland, produced between 2019-2021, compliance with Polish EU regulations. Three types were analyzed: gourmet, creamy, spicy, crafted 'Borowska' white 'Małopolska' Sarepta seeds. The preparation included powdered seeds, water, sugar, vinegar. Samples mustards (20 g each) tested triplicate for Salmonella, spore-forming anaerobic bacteria, coliform Staphylococcus aureus, mold, yeast. Additionally, water production analyzed total coliforms, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, aerobic mesophilic microorganisms, mold. Results indicated that met all criteria. samples negative Salmonella yeast counts within acceptable limits, ensuring food hygiene standards. research underscores importance ongoing monitoring strict standards to maintain safety. Future studies should develop advanced microbial detection methods implement robust quality control measures reduce contamination risks other products.

This research improves the strength of plastic using avocado seed starch and PLA. The effect blending PLA was optimized RSM approach by two variables: water absorption biodegradability. Mixing them gave best result: 1.8 g 3 Degradable has a tensile 10.1 MPa, elongation at break 85.8%, Young’s modulus 190 MPa. Infrared spectroscopy showed that had -OH bond 3273.20 cm−1, 3502.73 3647.39 CH2 2953.52 2945.30 2902.87 C=C 1631.78 C-O 1741.72 cm−1. decomposed in soil. It organic hydrophilic. Thermal tests demonstrated can withstand heat well, losing weight 356.86 °C to 413.64 °C, forming crystals melts 159.10 °C—the same as In melt flow test, sample melted before measurement, therefore not measurable—process conditions affected it.

Revolutionizing packaging: Bioplastics for superior food and pharmaceutical solutions

Polymers and Polymer Composites, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 32

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

The packaging industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the pressing need for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. Bioplastics have emerged as promising alternative to traditional plastics, offering superior functionalities environmental benefits various applications, especially in food pharmaceutical sector. This review explores impact of bioplastics on packaging, focusing their enhanced properties, sustainability compatibility with stringent regulatory requirements. By extending shelf life products, this improved barrier performance lowers waste ensures product safety. Additionally, good biodegradability; natural settings, they disintegrate into innocuous molecules, reducing impact. Reducing carbon emissions another benefit using packaging. are made less greenhouse gas than ordinary which help worldwide effort fight climate change. may also be recycled used again, helps conserve resources cut down waste. Moreover, can engineered meet particular requirements, guaranteeing appropriateness range uses. many benefits, however there obstacles way broad use. These include requirement specialized recycling facilities, restricted supply, increased production costs. However, it anticipated that these issues will resolved near future due developments bioplastic technology rising demand environmentally friendly alternatives. expected big how people live efforts lessen global warming encourage habits.

Bioplásticos - Una alternativa para reducir la contaminación: RSL

TAYACAJA, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 7(1), С. 20 - 31

Опубликована: Март 19, 2024

En el presente estudio se aborda una revisión sistemática de literatura (RSL) sobre desarrollo actual bioplásticos como alternativa sostenible debido a su degradabilidad. La metodología consistió en búsqueda exhaustiva la base datos Scopus utilizando palabras clave bioplásticos, biodegradables, almidón, entre otros. Se aplicaron criterios inclusión y exclusión, obteniendo finalmente 30 artículos relevantes publicados los últimos 5 años (2018 - 2023). Los resultados muestran que principales tipos son plásticos biodegradables recursos fósiles, compostables biológica. El tiempo degradabilidad varía 6 meses 10 dependiendo materiales, aunque pocos estudios especifican este dato. aditivos más utilizados producción plastificantes, espesantes emulsionantes. materiales productos emplean incluyen almidón maíz, papa, yuca. cuanto importancia del mayoría resaltan contribución reducción contaminación ambiental manejo residuos. conclusión, partir fuentes renovables es amigable garantice correcta degradación.
