ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .02-Issue .46-December 2023 TETRA-PACKS Introduction A tetrapack comes under the category of aseptic packages. For a material to be aseptic, it should have the following features- a) The packaging material must be compatible with the product intended to be packed. b) The physical is integrity of necessary to assume containment of the product and maintenance of sterility. c) The packaging material must be able to withstand sterilization and be compatible with the methods of sterilization. d) The package must protect the product from oxygen; also, the product's aroma. the package must the package retain Tetrapack is the most common name for aseptic cartons used for liquid food items which have to be stored for up to one year without refrigeration. Aseptic here means "free from pathogenic micro- organisms, " so this packaging process eliminates the food and packages from harmful elements. This type of packaging also blocks light completely to preserve vitamins A, B2, B6, B12, C and K, which are all photosensitive and would become damaged in the presence of light. Structure of a Tetrapack A tetra pak is made of six layers, i.e. 1. Polyethylene – Contributes 15% of the total packaging; it protects from outside moisture. 2. Paper – Contributes 80% of the total packaging for providing stability, strength and smoothness to the printing surface. 3. Polyethylene – Polyethylene acts as an adhesive layer between other layers. 4. Aluminium foil - Contributes 5% of the total packaging. It forms a barrier against light and oxygen, eliminating the need for refrigeration and preventing spoilage without using preservatives. 5. Polyethylene - Acts as an adhesion layer. 6. Polyethylene - Seals the Liquid from inside. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION READ MORE....

These packages also have a variety of openings and closures appropriate to product and consumer needs. Depending on the two points mentioned, following diagrams shows the types of tetra paks available. Myths related to tetrapackaging 1. Tetra packaged milk needs boiling No, boiling of tetra pak milk is an unnecessary step. Tetrapackaging involves UHT treatment of milk into in a sterile environment, pre-sterilised packages thus there is no risk of contamination and therefore no need to boil the milk before use. 2. Tetrapackages are Sustainable Tetrapacks are recycled, but the recycled part is not used for manufacturing of tetrapacks, hence they are said as non-sustainable. It is unclear whether this is because their paperboard needs to come from virgin sources to avoid contamination, or whether the quality of the recycled paperboard isn’t high enough to make new cartons, or there is some other reason. Whatever the reason, it is turned into office paper. Conclusion The Tetrapack carton is the future packaging – being primarily made using paperboard (a renewable forest-based resource) and fully recyclable. Not only this it offers consumers convenience, easy opening, optimal shelf life. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .02-Issue .46-December 2023 3D FOOD PRINTING Introduction 3D Printing has emerged as a promising technology that finds vast applications in many fields such as machinery, biomedicine, engineering but recently this innovative technology has gained a huge popularity in area of food manufacturing sector due to its various advantages like customized food designs, personalized nutrition, simplifying supply chain and broadening of food material with varied attractive color, shape, and size. It is an additive process in contrast to some conventional processes of manufacturing which are subtractive. In conventional process like cutting, milling etc. the material is removed to form the required component, but in 3 D printing material is added as per requirement and design to be formed. the available Nowadays, it is studied at global level to attain new techniques related to process so that it can be feasibly translated on larger scale for production of high volumes of product. This technology requires printers or scanners for formation of component through this procedure. It is also known as Additive Manufacturing which takes digital input in the form of Computer Aided Design (CAD) model and creates solid three-dimensional parts through an additive layer by layer process Process A 3D food printer comprises a food-grade syringe or cartridge that holds material, a real food item. 3D printing requires hardware and software to work in collaboration. Advanced 3D food printers are equipped with user-friendly interfaces and pre- loaded recipes with designs that can be easily accessed by the computer or even with a mobile or IoT device. Let us now understand the process of manufacturing food via printer in brief: 1.Printing the Model Depending on the design data, provided the printer lays down several layers of powder, liquid, paper, polymer, plastic, or other material depending on the material required. Printer resolution describes layer thickness and X-Y resolution in micrometers. 3D concept development teams the ability to produce parts and concept models using a desktop size printer. designers Printers give and the resolution 2.Finishing Though is printer-produced sufficient for many applications, printing a slightly oversized version of the desired object in standard resolution and then removing material with a higher resolution subtractive process can achieve greater precision. In this process the supports would be dissolved which might be used to support overhanging features in the model to be printed. Types of Printing Techniques PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION READ MORE.... Vol .02-Issue .46-December 2023 1.Extrusion Based Printing: In this method, melted material or paste like slurry is extruded out continuously from a moving nozzle, and welds to the preceding layers on cooling. This type of 3D food printing applied in chocolate printing and soft materials printing such as dough, mashed potatoes, cheese, and meat paste. Additional structural objects used for supporting the product geometry is removed after completion of the printing process. 2.Selective layer Sintering This method applies a power laser to selectively fuse powder particles together layer by layer finally into 3 D structure. In this method each cross section is scanned individually for fusion of all powder ingredients present in that cross section. After scanning each cross section, the powder bed is dropped, and a new layer of powder is covered on top. This process is repeated until the desired structure is achieved. If any unfused powder is left during process, then it can be recovered for next printing. free-standing complex 3 D structures with higher resolution. This method is specially used for powdered materials such as such as sugar, fat, or starch granule (low melting point). Properties size, flowability, bulk density, laser type and laser spot diameter are critical to the printing precision and accuracy of fabricated parts. like particle to produce It allows 3.Binder Jetting: The binder jetting process uses two materials: a powder-based material and a binder. The binder acts as an adhesive between powder layers. The binder is usually in liquid form and the building material is in powder form. A print head moves horizontally along the x and y axes of the machine the build and deposits alternating material and the binding material. After each layer, the object being printed is lowered on its build platform. layers of This method has the potential to fabricate complex & delicate 3D structures and produce colorful 3D edible objects by varying binder composition. But this method can be only used for powdered ingredients. 4. Continuous Jet Printer In this method, ink is ejected continuously through a piezoelectric crystal vibrating at a constant frequency. To get a desired flowability of the ink, it is charged by the addition of some conductive agents. Ink is ejected out from heads under pressure exerted by valve. the printing rates of drop-on-demand Generally, systems are slower than that of continuous jet systems. Resolution and precision of produced images low inkjet printing handles are higher. Generally, that do not possess enough viscosity materials mechanical strength to hold 3D structure. For formulation of food ink food hydrocolloids plays a vital role. A hydrocolloid is defined as a colloid system wherein the colloid particles are dispersed in water. A hydrocolloid has a colloid particle spread throughout water and depending on the quantity of water available that can take place in different states e.g., Gel or sol (liquid). Food Hydrocolloid can form and hold 3 D structure easily. 3D printing is a ground-breaking technology that can improve the nutritional value of meals and even address hunger issues in countries where fresh and affordable inaccessible. Therefore, global industry should adopt 3D printing technology to make food production more efficient and sustainable. ingredients are food PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.
