Ainia Organises on 5 May a new on-line course

In some surroundings where the consumer sues that the foods last more and in better conditions, the new typologies of containers allow to improve of form very important the durability, quality and conservation of the products, protecting them of his deterioration, increased his useful life and avoiding his withdrawal of the market. But, what characteristic owe to have the containers for each type of food? The materials and his properties, the design, the processes of manufacture and of filled, the systems of packaging or the interaction between the container and the food, are important considerations to take into account to the hour to develop a container with some requirements each greater day.

Ainia Technological Centre, in collaboration with Aimplas, has organised for 5 May, the fourth edition of the Main on-line ‘course materials and systems of packaging in industries agroalimentarias', with the end to give to know the main requests of the foods regarding the container, through a study detailed of the materials, typologies and systems of packaging. Reviewing besides, the new technologies and tendencies.

Headed to professional and students of the sector agroalimentario and affine, the course of 80 hours, will do reference in the first place to the causes of the deterioration of the foods, the exigible requests and the main types of containers. Likewise, it will concretise the properties, the process of manufacture, the characteristics and tendencies of metal packaging, of glass, of paper and cardboard or plastics, doing also reference to materials of the ceramic type, biopolymers, degradables or, even, edible coatings. The interaction of the container with the product, analysing phenomena like the corrosion, the permeability, the migration or the function of the active container, and the system of packaging (to empty, in atmosphere modified, aseptic or with thermal sensors treatments) will be other important subjects to tackle.
