Packaging Material
The interactions between foods and its packaging can disturb the quality and safety. Changes in product flavour due to aroma sorption and the transfer of undesirable flavours from packaging to food are important mechanisms of deterioration. Careful consideration must be given to those factors affecting such interactions when selecting packaging materials in order to maximize product quality, safety, and shelf‐life while minimizing undesirable changes.
Product considerations include sensitivity to flavour and related deteriorations, colour changes, vitamin loss, microbial activity, and amount of flavour available. Storage considerations include temperature, time, and processing method.
For the food packaging material, we provide R&D services for shelf life extension of food in contact, food grading, migration of substances, impact of packaging material on shelf life, microbial growth, etc.
Environment
We have successfully completed several projects for environment monitoring which includes testing and analysis of water, air, noise, sludge, soil, etc.
Projects for testing of water have been taken up in recent past with various state governments which manages the efficient system of water supply through the state, having district wise laboratory setups for analysing the quality of water supplied. FRAC was empanelled and selected to operate all the district laboratories setup and has provided around 4000 samples for testing monthly. Our team appointed in these labs were handed over the responsibility of sample collection from various water sources and analysing in their respective laboratories.
