These
are the customized educational products that your company requires,
without employees being away from family and friends, the day-to-day
work environment or your unique corporate culture. This will be
good when you have 10-15 employees so that costs can be justified.
The course duration can vary from half day to 5 days. The areas
of education are:
Fundamentals of Medical Packaging
This is a specific
hybrid selection of various packaging .Here only those packaging
issues most relevant to the sponsoring company's core business will
be covered. It is typically focused on specific forms of packaging
and is market specific. This course can vary from one to two days.
Modified Atmosphere
Packaging (MAP)
This is done under
the guidance of Leatherhead Food International, UK. The consumer
demand for fresh foods without preservatives and with healthy appearance
has caused a huge growth in the market for modified-atmosphere-packed
(MAP) foods world-wide. Initially used for premium cuts of meat,
MAP is now widely established in the meat, dairy, bakery and vegetable
sectors, and is said to be the fastest growing packaging technique.
The use of MAP is a
valued technique for improving product shelf-life and image. Shelf-life
extensions achieved through MAP can vary from few days to months
depending upon product category. The properties of the materials
used and the parallel developments in gas mixtures, optimised packaging
machinery are important in determining product quality and shelf-life.
MAP has an excellent
safety record, but a lack of understanding of the effects of gases
on the product could lead to food safety and spoilage problems.
It is a rapidly evolving area with new products and developments
of existing ones onto the market.
This is a one day course.
Shelf life prediction &
problems
This is again done
under the guidance of Leatherhead Food International, UK.
During the course we will identify the problems that cause safety
or quality issues in foods. Tools for predicting what and when things
can go wrong will be discussed, and finally, preventive techniques
that can be employed to combat the problems and hence lengthen the
shelf-life will be covered. This course is a must for all personnel
with interests and responsibility for the determination of the safe
and stable shelf life of foods. This will include microbiologists,
product development staff and food safety managers.
This is a two
day course.

of hygiene for food packaging that line operators, workers need
