  2. 1. Effects of plasticizing and crosslinking on coatings based on blends of starch-PVOH and starch-lignin

    Author : Asif Javed; Henrik Ullsten; Peter Rättö; Lars Järnström; Douglas Bousfield; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Citric acid; Glycerol; Polyethylene glycol; Barrier coatings; Starch; Lignin; Mechanical properties; Poly vinyl alcohol ; Creasing; Adhesion; Cross-linking; Extrusion coating; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : A barrier material is usually needed on a fiber-based food package to protect the packed food from gases and moisture and thus maintain its quality. Barrier materials presently used in food packaging applications are mostly petroleum-based polymers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effects of plasticizing and crosslinking on the mechanical and barrier properties of coatings based on blends of starch and poly(vinyl alcohol)

    Author : Asif Javed; Lars Järnström; Henrik Ullsten; Peter Rättö; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Citric acid; Glycerol; Polyethylene glycol; Barrier properties; Starch; Mechanical properties; Polyvinyl alcohol; Adhesion; Cross linking; Extrusion coating; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : In the last decades, intensive research has been carried out in order to replace oil-based polymers with bio-based polymers due to growing environmental concerns. So far, most of the barrier materials used in food packaging are petroleum-based materials. READ MORE

  5. 3. Oxygen-reducing enzymes in coatings and films for active packaging

    Author : Kristin Johansson; Lars Järnström; Caisa Johansson; Leif J. Jönsson; Jose M. Lagaron; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active packaging; food packaging; oxygen scavengers; oxygen-reducing enzymes; dispersion coating; biopolymers; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Oxygen scavengers are used in active packages to protect the food against deteriorative oxidation processes. The aim of this work was to investigate the possibilities to produce oxygen-scavenging packaging materials based on oxygen-reducing enzymes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aspects of Flexographic Print Quality and Relationship to some Printing Parameters

    Author : Johanna Johnson; Lars Järnström; Magnus Lestelius; Peter Rättö; Erik Blohm; Jouko Peltonen; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flexography; Print Quality; Liner; Board; Newsprint; Water-borne ink; Dynamic Pressure; Plate Properties; Wetting; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Flexographic printing is a common printing method in the packaging field. The printing method is characterized primarily by the flexible printing plate and the low viscosity inks which make it suitable for use on almost any substrate. READ MORE

  7. 5. Properties of modified starches and their use in the surface treatment of paper

    Author : Anna Jonhed; Lars Järnström; Ann-Charlotte Eliasson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Surface treatment of paper; hydrophobically modified starches; temperature-responsive starch; inclusion complexes; barrier properties; Surface engineering; Ytbehandlingsteknik; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The papermaking industry uses a large amount of starch each year, both as a wet-end additive and as a rheological modifier in surface sizing and coating colors. It is important to be able to reduce the amount of chemicals used in the papermaking and surface treatment process, to reduce costs and to make the process even more efficient. READ MORE
