Description

STRIP PRODUCTION METHOD FOR ASEPTIC PACKAGING TECHNIQUE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to the strip production method convenient for aseptic packaging technique that is developed to be used in the aseptic packaging of a diverse range of products in the food sector, particularly milk and various dairy products, as well as fruit juices and pulps, sauces, soups, infant formulas, tomato paste, puddings, teas, soy products, various beverages, and the like, and that enables extending products’ shelf lives.
BACKGROUND ART
Today, it has become increasingly difficult to create a difference between products and influence consumers’ buying decisions due to the increasing competition between products manufactured on an industrial scale and the growing variety of products. Package/packaging has become much more important in regards to industrial products with the increased social awareness, enhanced attention to health conditions, consumer satisfaction being prioritized, and the obligation imposed upon manufacturers to protect consumer rights.
Packaging, “protection of food from external factors”, is defined as the process of wrapping food with materials that partially or completely prevent the change of the qualities of food from production stage until consumption and that can attract buyers’ attention with their color and shape. Packaging should be produced in a way that best preserves the physical, chemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of food and should be designed in accordance with the characteristics of different foods. In other words, packaging should be able to protect the food throughout the entire food production and consumption process from transportation and storage in warehouses/shops to preservation at home by the end-users. There are a variety of food packaging materials known today. Manufacturers employ packaging materials such as metal, glass, plastic, paper, etc. depending upon the structure and characteristics of the type of food. The selected packaging material should be suitable for the relevant food product; it should not react with the content and not be altered by or not cause alterations in the food. Apart from this, packaging materials should not contain any harmful and toxic substances and should have sufficient physical strength against external factors. The environmental friendliness of the material and its recyclability are also crucial factors in choosing food packaging material.
Currently, the industry offers several packaging systems. Packaging methods such as aseptic packaging, vacuum packaging, modified atmosphere packaging, etc. can be selected in consideration of the structure and characteristics of the food. Aseptic packaging is one of the food packaging techniques known and used in the food industry. Aseptic packaging is an application that involves filling the product, which has been made “commercially sterile” through firstly being heated and subsequently being cooled in sterile conditions, into sterile packages under sterile conditions, and sealing the packaging hermetically so that it does not cause re-contamination. Aseptic packaging technology has two known specific areas of use:
- Packaging of pre-sterilized and sterile products (milk, fruit juice, soup, sauce, dessert, etc.)
- Packaging of non-sterilized products (such as yogurt) to avoid microorganism infection
Plastic forming methods are employed as part of the known plastic packaging production techniques. Plastic extrusion is one of these methods. Extrusion is the process of creating a continuous fixed cross-sectional product by applying pressure to the material placed in a closed chamber, thereby forcing it to flow through and take the shape of a die. This method ensures continuous production after which the manufactured product is cut in the desired length. Extrusion machines are utilized to turn various types of plastic materials, which are selected for each application based on their properties, into plastic packaging films by applying a certain procedure after adjusting them to desired dimensions. Plastic blown film machine is one of the known and used extrusion machines for packaging production in the plastic extrusion method. Packaging products obtained after the processing of the plastic packaging material in the extrusion machine are made into strips and then they go through the winding process.
Packaging production methods make use of various plastic/polymer materials. These polymers provide significant features to the packaging by forming a barrier film therein at the extrusion stage of the packaging production method. Each polymer has its own physical and chemical properties and processing characteristics, and they differ also in terms of cost. A polymer material can be used either on its own or in combination with other plastic materials or with materials such as aluminum and paper. Polyethylene (PE) is one of the known and most used polymers as part of these production methods.
There are different types of polyethylene as seen below:
- HDPE (High-density polyethylene)
- LDPE (Low-density polyethylene)
- LLDPE (Linear low-density polyethylene)
- mLLDPE (Metallocene linear low-density polyethylene)
Another polymer utilized in packaging production is polyamide. Polyamides can be either found naturally or produced synthetically. Polyamides with high heat resistance guarantee resistance to chemicals and aromas in packaging by providing an excellent oxygen barrier.
Apart from these, in the current state of the art, packaging production method by way of plastic extrusion benefits from many plastic/polymer materials such as ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
The application numbered TR2014/11943 and titled “Packaging, particularly for aseptically packageable products”, which is mentioned in a state of the art, summarizes the related invention as follows: “A description is given of a package, particularly for aseptic packaging, made up of two opposite facing walls heat-sealed one to the other along a peripheral line. The walls comprise at least one layer made of metalized heat-sealable plastic material or one layer with barrier effect and at least one layer made of heat-sealable plastic material. The peripheral heat-sealing line is provided at the cutting edge of the walls so as to form an encapsulation of the coupled layers at the cutting edge, due to overflow of the plastic material.” The invention describes an aseptic packaging production method using nylon or ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) as a polymer material.
The file numbered JP2001393706A and titled “Composite film for aseptic packaging”, which is mentioned in another state of the art, summarizes the relevant invention as follows: “The invention aims to provide a composite film suitable for aseptic filling packaging of an automatic bag-making system which is sterilized with a hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution.” The invention mentions a composite film that is benefited from in order to create a barrier for the package against external factors in the aseptic packaging production method.
The existing production methods in the state of the art are insufficient in terms of extending the shelf life of food products, cannot provide a barrier for the packaging against physical and chemical external factors, and are not environmentally-friendly. In conclusion, a novel aseptic packaging production method is needed to eliminate the above-mentioned shortcomings and disadvantages and solve the current problems of the prior art.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Developed to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and bring new advantages to the related technical field, the present invention relates to the strip production method convenient for aseptic packaging technique that is developed to be used in the aseptic packaging of a diverse range of products in the food sector, particularly milk and various dairy products, as well as fruit juices and pulps, sauces, soups, infant formulas, tomato paste, puddings, teas, soy products, various beverages, and the like, and that enables extending products’ shelf lives. The aim of the invention is to extend products’ shelf lives by way of the strip production method convenient for the aseptic packaging technique employed in the food sector packaging.
Another aim of the invention is to ensure that the film has a barrier property thanks to the use of polyamide in the film.
A further aim of the invention is to provide recyclable products with this method.
Another aim of the invention is to guarantee a system that consumes less energy than other systems and is, therefore, an environmentally friendly method of production.
Another aim of the invention is to enable, in aseptic packaging, the use of plastic packaging material that cannot show resistance to the high sterilization temperatures applied in traditional food preservation processes, thereby making the employed plastic packaging material in aseptic packaging highly reliable in terms of food safety and protecting human health.
