Effect Of Different Types Of Glass Container On Food Shelf Life

The main objective of this article is to develop an overview of the use of glass in food packaging. When combined with the appropriate closure, the glass jar or bottle provides an inert, hermetic, durable packaging medium for a wide variety of foods from dry powders to liquids, some of which are carbonated and packed under pressure, and products which are heat-sterilized. The transparency of glass allows consumers to see the product, yet variations in glass color can protect light-sensitive contents. Finally, glass packaging benefits the environment because it is reusable and recyclable.
