Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Beverage packaging uses several types of materials and components, including rigid and flexible plastics, paper and board, rigid metal, glass, closures, and labels. A variety of packaging types, such as bottles, cans, pouches, and cartons, are available, and this market is expected to continue growing.

Beverage packaging is an interesting field for many innovations such as active and intelligent packaging materials. For example, active oxygen scavengers are already introduced for sensitive beverages like juices or beer. In addition, new materials from renewable resources are being developed with potential benefits for beverage packaging. For instance, PEF is considered as a sustainable alternative for PET in beverage packaging concepts.

Beverage packaging uses a wide variety of packaging materials and technologies. This makes beverage packaging an interesting research field with a high potential for new packaging innovations. This Special Issue aims to build a platform to discuss the most resent state-of-the-art research applications and progress in beverage packaging.

We sincerely invite high-quality original research and review papers on both experimental and theoretical works addressing this topic:

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Beverage packaging materials
  • Filling technology
  • Active and/or intelligent packaging concepts
  • Beverage packaging sustainability
  • Biopolymers for beverage packaging
  • Recycling of beverage packaging
  • Sensory properties of packed beverages
  • Food law compliance testing
  • Improved shelf-life of packed beverages
  • Industry 4.0 in beverage packaging operations
  • Beverage packaging process technology and process design

Beverage cans are used for energy drinks, soft-drinks, sparkling waters, and beer. Bisphenol A is still part of the formulation of epoxy coatings of beverage cans. Due to concerns that bisphenol A acts as an endocrine-active substance, the migration of bisphenol A is restricted. Typically, the migration from beverage cans is tested at elevated temperatures into food simulants, like 20% ethanol in water. However, comparison tests of the migration of bisphenol A at the end of shelf life, with the migration into ethanolic food simulants, are not available in the scientific literature. The aim of the study was to determine the migration of the migration of bisphenol A into real beverages, compared to routine migration tests into the European official food simulant of 20% ethanol at 40 °C and 60 °C after storage for 10 days. As a result, bisphenol A-containing coatings show a considerably higher migration when tested at 60 °C in comparison to 40 °C. On the other hand, migration into energy drinks and coke, from the same coatings at the end of shelf life when stored at room temperature, was below the detection limit in either case. As expected, migration values of bisphenol A below the analytical detection limits were observed for any test conditions from the coating labeled bisphenol A-free. Spiking tests show that bisphenol A is stable in real beverages. Therefore, it can be concluded that the accelerated migration tests with 20% ethanol at the test conditions 10 d at 40 °C and 10 d at 60 °C significantly overestimate the real migration into beverages at the end of shelf life. This overestimation of the migration of bisphenol A is due to swelling of the epoxy can coating by the ethanolic food simulant. These findings were supported by migration modeling based on diffusion coefficients predicted for polyethylene terephthalate. Full article

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of storage time and bottle color on the phenolic compound profiles of Syrah red and sparkling Moscatel wines stored for 12 months in green, amber, and clear bottles. The profile of the phenolic compounds and their antioxidant activity in vitro were determined. Commercial wines were bottled in an automatic filling machine and closed with natural cork. After the bottling process, the wines were stored vertically on shelves which received natural light indirectly (±8 h/day), at temperatures which varied from 24 to 30 °C and relative humidity 40–65%. The wines were analyzed every three months over one year. Several phenolic compound families were quantified through reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) coupled to diode-array detection (DAD) and fluorescence detection (FD). The different bottle colors studied had not influenced the evolution of the sparkling Moscatel and Syrah red wines. The main variations obtained were related to storage time. The main changes were observed in the Syrah wine, where storage time was associated with an increase in hue (h*), decrease in catechin and epicatechin, and most notably, a decrease in the anthocyanin malvidin 3-glucoside. The sparkling Moscatel wine did not show important changes in most phenolic compounds; however, the catechin increased significantly during storage and this increase was similar in bottles of all colors. In general, the wines were stable in relation to the antioxidant activity in vitro. Full article
