India's packaging industry has grown at 25% annually and may reach $5 billion this year. Worldwide, the packaging industry is $417 billion, led by Europe ($129 billion), North America ($116 billion), and Japan ($81 billion). Flexible packaging such as pouches and reclosable bags makes up 21% of the market. Aseptic packaging sterilizes foods and packaging separately then seals them to extend shelf life without refrigeration. Active and intelligent packaging uses oxygen absorbers, moisture absorbers, indicators, and barriers to further extend shelf life while maintaining safety and quality. Nano-packaging has applications in bakery and meat products. Vacuum packing, retort packaging, modified atmosphere packaging, and
4. Packaging Industry
• India’s packaging industry may achieve
an annual turnover as high as US$ 5
billion in the current financial year with
a growth rate nearly 25 per cent in
significant segments.
5. Packaging Industry
• Worldwide generated an annual
estimated turnover of US$ 417 billion.
• The major regions that made up this
total include Europe, US$ 129 billion;
North America, $116 billion; and Japan,
US$ 81 billion.
•
8. Flexible packaging
• Bags, envelopes, pouches, sachets,
wraps, etc., made of easily yielding
materials such as film, foil, or paper
sheeting which, when filled and sealed,
acquires pliable shape.
12. Aseptic Packaging
• More suitable for fresh, processed and
export foods.
• Sterilization of the packaging material,
equipment and sterile condition
throughout the production operation
13. Aseptic packaging
• Process in which a food product, such as
ultra high temperature (UHT) milk) and its
package is sterilized separately and then
combined and sealed under sterilized
atmosphere. In comparison, in a canning
process both the item and packaging are
sealed as one unit and then heated to
sterilize them together.
14. Active Packaging
• Active packaging are applied to extend
shelf-life while maintaining nutritional quality
and ensuring microbiological safety.
• Use of oxygen scavengers for sliced
processed meat, ready-to-eat meals and
beer.
• Use of moisture absorbers for fresh meat,
poultry, and fresh fish.
• Ethylene-scavenging bags for packaging of
fruit and vegetables.
15. Active Packaging
• Oxygen scavenger, moisture absorbers
and barrier packaging represent more
than 80% of the current market.
• Time/temperature indicators are a
major share of intelligent packaging.
16. Multi-layer Barrier PET Bottles
• Suitable for beer, fruit juices, milk,
tomato ketch-up, etc.
• Temperature resistance upto 900c and
withstand sterilizing temperatures
18. Nano Packaging
• The bakery and meat products
categories have attracted the most
nano-packaging applications.
• Japan, is the market leader in active
nano-enabled packaging, with 45% of
the current market, valued at $1.86
billion in 2008.
26. Vacuum packing
• The vacuum environment removes
atmospheric oxygen, protecting the food
from spoiling by limiting the growth of
aerobic bacteria or fungi, and preventing the
evaporation of volatile components.
• Vacuum packing is commonly used for long-
term storage of dry foods such as cereals,
nuts, cured meats, cheese, smoked fish,
coffee, and crisps.
•
27. Retort Packaging
• Retort is a process that uses heat and
pressure to cook food in a strong,
sealed package.
• Because the packaging is less bulky
than traditional cans and jars, foods
cook more quickly, providing a better
tasting product for your customer.
28. Advantages of Flexible Retort
Packaging:
• Shelf-stable and requires no
refrigeration
• Better merchandising options
throughout the store .
• Reduced storage space .
• Lighter and less expensive to ship .
29. Retort Packaging is available in:
• Pouches (stand-up, and flat)
• Roll Stock
• Lidding Stock
32. Modified atmosphere Packaging
• Ambient air is replaced either totally or
partially by flushing a mixture of
nitrogen ,carbon dioxide and oxygen
assuming that the gas will reduce the
activity of bacteria in the product,
packed and thus the spoilage
33. Controlled Atmosphere
Packaging
• Similar to MAP but the gas composition
inside the package is monitored and
regulated to maintain a stable gas
composition during storage.
34. Bio-degradable Packaging for
Food Industry:
• Cellulose based materials
• Packaging of baked goods, processed meat, cheese and
candies,
• High moisture barrier properties
• Chetin/chitosan
• Hardened composite structures of exoskeleton of insects
• Low oxygen permeability
• Anti-microbial properties
• Casein
• Isolated from milk by using carbon-dioxide under high
pressure
• Used for packaging of meat
35. Bulk packaging of tea
• Plywood chests:
• Popular container for packaging tea.
• Chests filled with tea confirm following
quality test.
