It frequently takes days to weeks for testing films to determine if desired steady state concn of gases are reached when atmospheres are passively modified through commodity respiration. Our objective was to develop a rapid method to test the appropriateness of packaging films and designs using active modification of the atmosphere. Repeated exposures of commodities to partial vacuum were followed by infusion of N2 to 1 atm. Three to five minutes were allowed following each N2 infusion. Initial O2 concn achieved in packages (polyethyl vinyl acetate) depended upon the extent of the vacuum and the number of exposures. Within packages of tomatoes, O2 concn of 8.3 ± 0.5% and 5.0 ± 1.0% were measured following exposure to 460 and 360 mm Hg vacuum, respectively. Three exposures of cabbage and muskmelon packages to 460 mm Hg resulted in O2 concn of 5.1 ± 1.4% and 5.0 ± 1.4%, respectively. Maintenance or deviation from actively established atmospheres was determined within hours.

Flexible packaging films are used to bag and/or wrap precision cleaned electronic or space hardware to protect them from environmental degradation during shipping and storage. Selection of packaging films depends on a knowledge of product requirements and packaging film characteristics. The literature presently available on protective packaging films has been updated to include new materials and to amplify space-related applications. Presently available packaging film materials are compared for their various characteristics: electrostatic discharge (ESD) control, flame retardancy, water vapor transmission rate, particulate shedding, molecular contamination, and transparency. The tradeoff between product requirements and the characteristics of the packaging films available are discussed. Selection considerations are given for the application of specific materials of space hardware-related applications. Applications for intimate, environmental, and electrostatic protective packaging are discussed.

Selection of suitable packaging film is necessary to minimize the deteriorative changes of foods. Packaging films differ for different food products. Flexible packaging films are now widely used instead of hard packages for processed dry food products. In this study attempt has been made to select a suitable packaging film for dry coriander powder at ambient temperature. Three types of packaging films like heat sealable laminated aluminium foil, high density polythene (HDPE) and poly propylene (PP) were chosen. The changes in water activity, total ash, acid insoluble ash and consequent effect on sensory qualities like texture, colour, flavour and appearance of coriander powder were investigated at an interval of two months during one year storage period.
