Assessing Food Safety of Polymer Packaging.Assessing Food Safety of Polymer polymer (pŏl`əmər), chemical compound with high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent bonds (see chemical bond). Packaging. By Jean-Maurice Vergnaud and Iosif-Daniel Rosca. 290 pages. Price, 90 [pounds sterling]. Rapra Technology Ltd., Shropshire Shropshire (shrŏp`shĭr, –shər), county (1991 pop. 401,600), 1,348 sq mi (3,491 sq km), W England. It is also sometimes called Salop.

Foods are packaged to protect them and keep them in good condition while they are delivered to stores or stored at home. The packaging material has to both preserve the food and protect it from deterioration de·te·ri·o·ra·tion n. The process or condition of becoming worse. , outside contamination contamination /con·tam·i·na·tion/ (kon-tam?i-na-shun) 1. the soiling or making inferior by contact or mixture. 2. the deposition of radioactive material in any place where it is not desired. or damage during distribution and storage. And the packaging material in direct contact with a food must not itself harm or be harmed by the food. This book is designed to help current and prospective researchers in this field understand the theory of food safety in packaging. www.polymer-books.com |
