Microplastic contamination of an unconfined groundwater aquifer in Victoria, Australia

TL;DR: In this paper , eight commonly found microplastics in the environment (polyethylene, PE; polystyrene, PS; polypropylene, PP; polyvinyl chloride, PVC; polyethylene terephthalate, PET; polycarbonate, PC; polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA; and polyamide, PA) were analysed in triplicate groundwater samples (n = 21) from five sampling sites across seven capped groundwater monitoring bores from Bacchus Marsh (Victoria, Australia) using Agilent's novel Laser Direct Infra-Red (LDIR) imaging system.

Nanotechnology as a Processing and Packaging Tool to Improve Meat Quality and Safety.

TL;DR: Nanoparticles can be used to reinforce the packaging material resulting in the improvement of sensory, functional, and nutritional aspects of fresh and processed meat products as discussed by the authors, and they can also be used in smart packaging as biosensors to extend the shelf-life of processed and fresh meat products and monitor the final quality of these products during the storage period.

Starch-polyester bilayer films with phenolic acids for pork meat preservation

TL;DR: In this paper , Bilayer films containing gellan gum (90:10) and polyester (P) blend films (PLA:PHBV, 75:25) with and without ferulic, p-coumaric or protocatechuic acid at 2% (w/w) were obtained by melt-blending and compression molding for the purposes of obtaining SP bilayers by thermo-compressing both monolayers together.
