CHECKLIST:
2. VEGETABLES FIBERS
bamboo, banana, coconut, and cotton fibers
converted into yarn, string or cord
very flexible
do not provide protection to food which has a long shelf-life since
they offer no protection against moisture pick-up, microorganisms, or
insects and rodents.
a. WOOD
traditionally been used for a wide range of solid and liquid foods.
good protection, good stacking characteristics and strength.
Types of Packaging materials:
3. PAPERS/NEWSPRINT
• Inexpensive
• highly absorptive, fairly easily torn, and offers no
barrier to water or gases
• Newsprint used only as an outer wrapper and not be
allowed to come into direct contact with food.
Types of Packaging materials:
4. EARTHENWARE
• pots are used worldwide for storing liquids and solid
foods such as curd, yoghurt, beer, dried food, and honey.
Types of Packaging materials:
5. GLASS
• Withstand heat treatments such as pasteurization and sterilization.
• Does not react with food.
• Protects the food from crushing and bruising
• Resistant to moisture, gases, odors and microorganisms
• Re-usable, re-sealable and recyclable
• Transparent, allows products to displayed. Colored glass may be used
either to protect the food from light or to attract customers.
Types of Packaging materials:
5. GLASS
DISADVANTAGES:
• glass is heavier than other packaging materials
• it is easy to fracture, scratch and break if heated or
cooled too quickly
• hazards may arise from glass cracks or fragments in the
food.
Types of Packaging materials:
6. PLASTICS
• Extremely useful.
• Cost is relatively low.
• Good barrier properties against moisture and gases.
• Heat sealable to prevent leakage of contents.
• Have wet and dry strength.
• Easy to handle and convenient for the manufacturer, retailer,
and consumer
• Little weight to the product.
• Fit closely to the shape of the product.
Types of Packaging materials:
7. METALS
ADVANTAGES:
• they provide total protection of the contents.
• they are tamperproof.
• they are convenient for presentation.
DISADVANTAGES:
• they are heavier than other materials, except glass, and
therefore have higher transport costs.
• the heat treatment associated with the use of metal cans is not
suitable for small-scale production.
