Effects of Sunlight Transmitted Packaging Materials upon Rancidity of Oils and Fats

플라스틱 포장재를 투과한 태양 광선이 산패에 미치는 영향

In order to know the quality changes of the fat and oil foods packed in plastics film by the sunlight, we examined the sunlight transmitting rate by the kind of films and measured the acid value and peroxide value according to it. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The sunlight transmitting rate of various films was explained especial permeability under the wavelength of less than 300nm, but it marked a regular form under that of more than 30nm. 2. The vacuum evaporation film with aluminum on the polyester shuts off most of the sunlight, therefore, it has the best effect that keeps the fats and oils off rancidity. 3. The sunlight transmitting rate of the white color printing film drops about 80% as compared with not printing. 4. The preventive power against the rancidity of fats and oils is PET/Al, PET, PE, nylon and OPP film in that order. The changes of peroxide value and acid value were approximately the same as that of the sunlight transmitting rate.
