Packaging is usually referred to as the container holding a specific product. It is more accurate to refer to a packaging system, since many components are used together to make a package able to meet the needs of a product. A packaging system must meet four specific objectives: • to protect the product • to extend product shelf life • to communicate the product to the customer • to be convenient to the customer A packaging system has many components and several levels of packaging. For example, a packaging system must include a shipping container where inside packaging units are found, which usually group a certain amount of individual packages. Only the retail size of a packaging system will be addressed for the purpose of this article. Paper published with permission.

The essential oil (EO) from basil—Ocimum basilicum—was characterized, microencapsulated by vibration technology, and used to prepare a new type of packaging system designed to extend the food shelf life. The basil essential oil (BEO) chemical composition and antimicrobial activity were analyzed, as well as the morphological and biological properties of the derived BEO microcapsules (BEOMC). Analysis of BEO by gas chromatography demonstrated that the main component was linalool, whereas the study of its antimicrobial activity showed a significant inhibitory effect against all the microorganisms tested, mostly Gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, the prepared BEOMC showed a spheroidal shape and retained the EO antimicrobial activity. Finally, chitosan-based edible films were produced, grafted with BEOMC, and characterized for their physicochemical and biological properties. Since their effective antimicrobial activity was demonstrated, these films were tested as packaging system by wrapping cooked ham samples during 10 days of storage, with the aim of their possible use to extend the shelf life of the product. It was demonstrated that the obtained active film can both control the bacterial growth of the cooked ham and markedly inhibit the pH increase of the packaged food.

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of packaging materials on the quality and shelf life of green chili (Capsicum annuum) using passive modification of modified atmosphere packaging system. The modified atmosphere was created by making perforation in the polypropylene packets. Green chili pre-treated with chlorine water and then packaging in 0.3% perforated polypropylene packet resulted substantial reduction of weight loss and rotting/shriveling. These treatment combinations also considerably retained vitamin C, ß-carotene, moisture content, etc. Under this condition the retention of quality and shelf life of green chili could be extended up to 10 days at ambient condition as compared to non-treated and without packaging.

Kabupaten Dharmasraya yang terdapat hampir disepanjang jalan lintas Sumatera belum dikenal makanan khasnya. Makanan yang biasa dijadikan oleh-oleh hanya keripik tempe. Di Nagari Lubuk Besar terdapat produk olahan khas yang biasa disajikan pada acara-acara adat dan pernikahan, yaitu Atun. Sebagian ibu-ibu dari masyarakat Nagari Lubuk Besar hanya mampu menjual produk ini sesekali pada ‘hari pasa’ (jadwal pasar tradisional), karena permasalahan umur simpan produk yang singkat yaitu 1-2 hari. Hal ini juga yang menjadi kendala Atun dijadikan sebagai oleh-oleh khas Kabupaten Dharmasraya. Teknologi pengemasan vakum adalah sistem pengemasan hampa udara sehingga memperpanjang umur simpan, sehingga produk akan lebih bertahan 2-3 kali lebih lama daripada produk yang yang disimpan dengan nonvakum.Selain itu, pembuatan produk Atun Instan dapat bertahan lebih lama dan menjadi inovasi agar Atun dapat dikonsumsi oleh konsumen yang lebih jauh. Tujuan dari kegiatan IbDM ini secara umum adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, kemandirian dan semangat berwirausaha bagi anggota kelompok Wanita “Lubuk Besar Bersinar” yang tergabung dalam Kelompok PKK Nagari Lubuk Besar dengan aplikasi teknologi. Dalam pengembangan produk atun ini dilakukan transfer teknologi dalam bentuk pelatihan teknologi pengemasan hampa dan penyimpanan, pembuatan atun instan, serta penyuluhan pemasaran dan manajemen bisnis Atun dalam mengembangkan produk Atun sebagai oleh-oleh khas Nagari Lubuk Kabupaten Dharmasraya. Kata Kunci: Atun, Atun Instan, Pengemasan Vakum, Makanan Tradisional ABSTRACT Dharmasraya District, located almost along the trans-Sumatra road, is not yet known for its traditional food. Food that is used as gifts is only tempeh chips. At Lubuk Besar Village, a village of Dharmasraya, there are typically snack usually served at traditional events and weddings, namely Atun. Some woman from the community of Nagari Lubuk Besar are only able to occasionally sell this product on 'Pasa Day' (traditional market schedule) because of the short shelf life of the product, which is 1-2 days. It also became Atun's obstacle as a souvenir of the Dharmasraya District. Vacuum packaging technology is a packaging system without oxygen that extends shelf life so that products will last 2-3 times longer than non-vacuum stored products. Additionally, Instant Atun products' production can last longer and become an innovation so that more distant consumers can consume Atun. This IbDM program aims to increase knowledge, skills, independence, and an entrepreneurial spirit for members of the "Lubuk Besar Bersinar" Women group and the Lubuk Besar PKK Group with the application of technology. In developing Atun product, technology transfer is carried out in the form of training on vacuum packaging and storage technology, making instant Atun, and counseling on Atun's marketing and business management in developing Atun products as souvenirs from Dharmasraya District.ogy, making instant Atun, and counseling on Atun's marketing and business management in developing Atun products as souv Keywords: Atun, Instan Atun, Vacuum Packaging, Traditional Food

Abstract Abstract 3437 Each unit of blood donated is processed and stored individually resulting in wide variability in the amount of red blood cells (RBCs) collected, RBC properties and in the 24 hour post-transfusion RBC survivability. As a result, each unit differs in its RBC content, its ability to deliver oxygen and potentially its effects on the recipient. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of pooling and the use of novel additive solutions in producing a more uniform, standardized RBC product. RBCs were either stored in an approved additive solution with a 42 day shelf life (AS-3) or a solution which potentially enables an extended 50 to 100 day shelf life (EAS-81). The storage characteristics of individual RBC units were compared to pooled RBC products prepared by the same units and suspended in AS-3 and EAS-81 with comparable final hematocrits. Two sets of 5 individual leukoreduced group A, D-positive blood group RBC units were divided and stored as individual RBC products or as pooled products. Individual and pooled units tested as group A, D-positive and had a negative antibody screen. Quality indices were measured (ATP, 2,3 DPG and hemolysis) for all individual and pooled units weekly for 5 weeks. After 5 weeks of storage RBC units stored in EAS-81 showed higher ATP concentrations (2.53–4.20 μmole/g hemoglobin) compared to units stored in AS-3 solution (1.53–1.98 μmole/g hemoglobin). ATP concentration values of pooled units of EAS81:AS-3 (3.35:1.77 μmole/g hemoglobin) were close to average (3.24:1.64 μmole/g hemoglobin) values obtained from 5 individual unit concentrations (Figure). Next, after 5 weeks hemolysis was higher in EAS-81 (0.57–0.94% hemolysis) as compared to AS-3 solution (0.18–0.35% hemolysis); possibly due to cells being passed through an additional leukoreduction filter. The hemolysis values of pooled units of EAS-81: AS-3 (0.51:0.27%) was lower for EAS-81 but the same for AS-3 as the average values obtained from individual units (0.80:0.27%). Lastly, after 2 weeks of storage 2,3 DPG values obtained were lower for AS-3 units (2.71–3.84 μmole/g hemoglobin) as compared to EAS-81 units (3.40–7.10 μmole/g hemoglobin). 2,3-DPG concentration of pooled unit EAS-81:AS-3 (7.10:3.38 μmole/g hemoglobin) were higher compared to average of individual unit (4.74:3.19 μmole/g hemoglobin). 2,3 DPG concentration was negligible for 3 week measurement for all the units. In conclusion, RBCs stored in EAS-81 have higher ATP and 2,3-DPG levels than units stored in AS-3; pooled units maintain ABO/D typing without new antibody or antigen formation, and appear to have slightly better storage characteristics than individually stored units. Thus, our data support pooling RBC units is a valid method to provide more uniform RBC products with better storage characteristics, especially if stored in EAS-81, in the future.
