for Food Manufacturers

Technical Operations, FoodResearchLab
In-Brief
People from other countries are looking for
different ways to incorporate functional
foods items into their lifestyle. While the
first thought foodresearchlab have is to
compromise the continued freshness of the
product. People brew the functional food
worldwide into tea or use it as a dye to
clothes; they even apply it to skin. Due to
these varying demand, Foodresearchlab
has a varied Food Packaging techniques to
pack that quickly adapt to ensure the
freshness of food while also allowing them
to be flexible to use in any consumer's
desired way.

I. INTRODUCTION
According to a survey, more than 50% of
millennials used mobile devices to search
for more functional foods to add nutrients to
their diets and search for how to use them to
maximize health benefits. This trend leads
food processors and food manufacturing
industries to consider more innovative
packaging technologies. Food Packaging
Companies make it accessible for people to
incorporate them into different applications
to be in the desire of the consumer needs.
II. FUNCTIONAL FOOD PACKING
Food Packaging Services has an innovative
idea in a new packing technology for
functional food to expand shelf life and
improve fresh meat and vegetable product
safety. With the growing demands of the
carbon footprints, there is also the
opportunity to produce greener functional
food by packing and reducing the
transportation coast.
Although some ingredients are stable in
water, others undergo accelerated
breakdown, limiting shelf-life and
compromising the product quality and taste.
For example, delivering live probiotics in
ready to consume formats usually require
refrigeration and various storage conditions.
Even under these specific conditions, shelf
life is measured using weeks or months,
rather than years and refrigeration adds

transportation, manufacturing, and storage
costs.
Vitamin C naturally undergoes oxidation
with the waterly substance. Packaging For
Food Products to expand the shelf life that
meets claims over its shelf life is commonly
used. It requires 15% more ingredient than
reported on label, to ensure the active
compounds meet the product label claims.
This method increases the total raw
ingredient coast.
To overcome these problems in Small
Business Food Packaging the usage of
unstable ingredients in water-based ready to
consume products such as yoghurts,
smoothies, and drinks open up a wide range
of innovative functional food formulation
packing associated marketing opportunities.
III. FREE TIPS FOR FOOD
MANUFACTURERS TO PACK
FUNCTIONAL FOODS TO ATTRACT
HEALTH-CONSCIOUS CONSUMERS
Square shaped packing is cool:
Health claims are the key to sell a product,
to increase the sales it must be displayed to
potential consumers. Foodresearchlab
focuses on the more straightforward packing
concepts, which is more useful for
consumers. The concept is driven from
European sports nutrition giants unique in
the industry as they use the rectangular tub
for their high volume protein, energy and
recovery drinks. The more popular round
tubs manufactured by other manufacturers
have a less obvious front to the container. It
means that even if the products carry
marketing claims, these may not be known
to the consumer when it is stacked on
retailers shelves. The advantages of using
rectangular containers extend far beyond
retailers shelves, as square tubs occupy less
space when boxed than comparable round
tubs. This shape allows boxes to be used, by
reducing the packaging and allowing the
product to be packed more densely within
the small box, saving valuable warehouse
space and freight costs. These mainstream
retailers measure sales lead as success in
terms of tens of thousands worth of stock
sold per square centimetre of shelf space!
Smart packing:
Food spoilage is the main problem for
chilled and frozen product and poor storage
such as heat exposure during delivery or
storage cold result in foods losing its texture
& colour. These are some example events
that have adverse consequences for the
consumers, retailers and food manufacturers.
And this could be prevented by using
intelligent nano packing. When coupled with
a colour change, this type of nano-packaging
could notify the consumer not to buy the
product or be linked with barcoding so that
the product's sale the check out would be
prevented.
Convincing the texture and taste:
Most of the problem relating to the stability,
taste and delivery of a sufficient amount of
ingredients, are reduced are even abolished
when components are in power format. New
advance in packing technology can bring up
the new result to the sports drink sector that
is "instanced" ready to drink product.
Foodresearchlab provides this advanced
packing format with the power cap TM
system, which comprises the bottle
containing liquid and the power cap, which
keeps other ingredients in the liquid or
powder format separately. When the drink is
consumed, the cap is twisted, and the cap
contents are poured on the drink. Most
popular food packaging companies follow
this format revolutionizing the sports drink
market, by matching the convenience that
adds functionality from ingredients that
could not be fresh previously.

Greener Future:
The increasing trend on environment focus
drives the manufacturers to pack the food
product in green packing. The easiest and
least intrusive step to food manufacturer is
to use green packing materials. It can range
from replacing non-biodegradable plastic
with biodegradable forms or by using
recyclable packing. It minimizes the packing
coast to the food product packaging
companies, the most obvious form of
packing comes by using recyclable packing
in non-recyclable conditions.
