In order to improve the load efficiency of pallets and trucks for agricultural products, various transport package sizes have been analyzed by modular coordination process. From the results, the load efficiency on pallet was 99.8 percent when size was 550 by 366 mm and 366 by 275 mm. Load efficiency of standard pallet(1100 by 1100mm) was 93.6% for truck with 11 tons load capacity while as low as 41.1% for 2.5 ton trucks. Like any other products, this study proved that trucks with more than 8 tons of capacity were highly recommended for transportation of agricultural products.

China has witnessed tremendous changes especially in the field of packaging industry after the reform and opening policy commencing in early 1979. Thanks to the reform and opening policy by Deng Xiaoping, a former leader of China, packaging industry has been selected as one of the specialized industries, and this policy has made great achievements in the field of packaging. The total volume of packaging industry now ranks the first in the overall industry in China and this indicates that this industry is taking a great role to bust up economic growth of China. In this paper, The facts and forecasts of packaging industry and education in China are introduced.

Since 1985, the growth rate of population of the world is over that of the food production. The cultivated land and the grain production rate are decreasing every year. Therefore, the most serious crisis which we will meet in the 21st century will be food shortage. In order to solve this desperate shortage of food, besides trying to produce more food, the technology of post-harvest, food processing, and food packaging should be developed to reduce and make the best use of the amount of the already produced agricultural products for which a lots of cost and labors were invested, but are being wasted during food distribution channel due to their undeveloped technology.

Films of methylcellulose(MC), chitosan and their blends were prepared using water and acid solution as a solvent. The transition behavior and miscibility of polymers and their blends were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). The DMA analysis of PEG400/MC blends has shown that PEG400 was compatible with MC and was effective plasticizer since the curves of tanδ against temperature exhibited single peak, corresponding to single glass transition temperature, which were displaced to lower values with increasing PEG400 content. Results of DMA analysis and TGA analysis of MC/chitosan blends indicate that there are some miscibility between MC and chitosan in the blends, attributed to the similarities between two polysaccharides and interactions of two polymers in the blends. The inclusion of PEG400 in the blends increase the miscibility between two components in the blends.

제주산 감귤을 기존의 골판지와 이골판지에 특성이 다른 선도 유지기능성 소재 3종을 상자 내면에 코팅하여 여기에 감귤을 넣고 25℃에 8일간 저장하면서 선도 유지효과를 조사하였다. 중량은 모든 포장구에서 2.6-3.7%가 감소하였고 산도와 당도는 포장구간에 차가 없었으며 비타민 C 함량은 대조구 보다 R-Box와 Y-Box가 10% 높게 유지되고 있었다. 부패율도 R-Box는 4%였으나 나머지 포장구는 8-11%의 감귤이 부패되었으며 외관도 R-Box가 가장 양호하였다.

This study was measured weight loss, total ascorbic acid, titratable acidity, soluble solids content and overall appearances to investigate the effect of corrugated fiberboard box coated with functional materials ; R, G, X box, R, G and X box and Con(double wall corrugated fiberboard) box during storage at 25℃. Weight loss of mandarin of control, corrugated paperboard box coated with functional materials(Y-, R-, G-box) after 8 days were 2.56% to 3.67%. There was not different to weight loss among the four kind of packages. Titratable acidity and soluble solids content of packages was not significant. Total ascorbic acid content(TAA) of mandarin packed with R-box and Y-box was 10% higher than that of control after 8 days. Decay ratio of R-box, Y-box, G-box and control was 4%, 10%, 10% and 8%, respectively. Overall appearance of R-box was the best.

In order to improve the transportability and safety of fishery products during distribution process, we developed new containers made of polyethylene polypropylene copolymers. Two types are developed; two color type and bar type. As the result, the stacking efficiency improved by 27.6% while providing great transportability and decreasing sanitation problems.

Increasing use of plastics in food packaging materials has led to the issue of food-plastic packaging materials`s mutual interactions. Although the plastic packaging materials are generally considered as inert, migration and sorption of fatty materials are some of the problems associated with their use. So, this work investigated the compatibility of three structurally different polymers, polypropylene (PP), polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) with some structurally different food fats. The main goal was to study the sorption of food fats by the plastic films and to see what extent mechanical properties of the plastic films was affected by plasticization effect due to sorption of fatty materials. PP, PET, and EVOH films was immersed in pure triglycerides, and then extracted with hexane and analyzed for the amounts of fat migrated. The sorbed films were also investigated for change in mechanical properties. Result showed that structural factor of the films and fatty materials plays important role in th migration process. The fat with the simplest structure are migrated more easily that the fat with more complex structure. However, structural effect of migration was varied according to degree of crystallinity and density of plastic films. In addition to that, polarity of plastic film was affected migration of fatty materials significantly. Additional research is needed to justify the reason why migration of fatty materials into the films was affected by polarity and structural integrity.

플라스틱 포장재는 소비자들이 생각하는 것보다 환경에 미치는 영향이 적으나 플라스틱 제조업체들에게는 플라스틱 폐기물을 위한 재활용시장을 어떻게 활용화하는가는 매우 중요하다. 이것을 위하여 정부는 충분한 규모의 재활용시장을 키워나갈 수 있도록 MRF 등 각종 설비를 지원해야 하며 성공적인 재활용정책을 개발해야 한다. 경제적이고 다양한 재활용기술이 소개되고 있지만 이것은 반드시 잘 정비된 재활용정책이 우선되어야 성공할 수 있다.

Plastic packaging generates less problems than most consumers think, but how to develop the recycling market for plastic waste materials will be critical for the plastic manufacturers. To do this, government must provide enough facility in order to balance economics for plastic recycling market and to run successful recycling programs. Various cost effective recycling technologies have been introduced and also have significant role to boost use of recycled plastics, but this could be only with well organized recycling policy.

플라스틱 포장재의 주요 기능은 식품을 수송, 보관과정에서 안전하게 보존하는 것이다. 식품과 플라스틱 포장재간의 반응은 식품의 품질과 안전성 문제에 있어서 상당한 이슈가 되고 있는데 이는 주로 플라스틱에 남아있는 잔류용제, 단량체, 첨가물 등이 식품으로 전이되는 문제들이다. 플라스틱 포장재에 항산화제를 첨가하는 것은 필름의 열화는 물론 포장된 식품, 특히 유지가 많은 제품의 산화를 막을 수 있다. 현재 BHT와 같은 항산화제를 플라스틱 포장재에 적용하는 것이 상업화되어 제품의 유통기간을 연장시키는 방법으로 사용되고 있다. Alpha tocopherol은 가장 중요한 자유기 제거제의 하나로 생물 시스템에는 잘 알려져 있는데 이것을 포장재에 사용함으로써 생산자와 소비자 모두 매우 긍정적인 반응을 보이고 있다. Alpha tocopherol은 폴리올레핀계 레진에 적용되어 BHT를 대체하고 있다. 이 연구는 포장재와 제품간의 증발-흡착 메카니즘을 이용한 항산화제의 효과와 그 적용, 그리고 이러한 메카니즘을 예측할 수 있는 분석기법을 설명하였다.

The main function of plastic materials in food packaging is to preserve a food for safe transportation and storage. The interactions between food and plastic materials in food packaging have become increasingly important for food quality and safety because monomer, low molecular weight components, or additives of plastic packaging materials can migrate into a food. The use of antioxidants in plastic materials can help protect the degradation of film itself and retard the oxidation of a packaged food containing lipid, through the migration of antioxidant from the packaging to a product via an evaporation / sorption mechanism. Nowadays, antioxidant (BHT) impregnated plastic materials are used for commercial food packaging application with the intention of achieving an extended shelf life of food in USA. Alpha tocopherol, as one of the most important free radical scavengers, has been well known in biological systems. Moreover, the potential use of alpha tocopherol as an additive for polymers used in the packaging industry may offer the most positive perception from both consumers and manufacturers. Alpha tocopherol has been used as an antioxidant for polyolefin resins fabricated to both bottles and film and has applications in the food packaging industry as a replacement for BHT. Today, alpha tocopherol offers an attractive choice for use as an antioxidant in polymers. This paper provides an overview of antioxidant effectiveness and applications for its use by the food packaging industry based on the evaporation-sorption mechanism of a packaging model product, where quality is associated with lipid oxidation. Important analytical techniques for predicting antioxidant interaction between the package system and product are discussed.
