Abstract
Packaging materials are a significant part of our lives due to their daily usage at grocery stores, supermarkets, restaurants, pharmaceuticals, etc. Packaging plays an important role in ensuring that the products are preserved during handling, transporting, and storage. Similarly, it helps to maintain and prolong the shelf life of products. These materials are used for packaging meats, poultry and seafood products, food and beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. Several applications of packaging materials have been discussed extensively, with little discussion on their end of life and continuous availability without impacting the environment. This study presents the need for sustainable packaging as a result of growing demands and the environmental impact of packaging materials after use. This study also presents the importance, types, and applications of packaging materials. Based on the findings of this study, sustainable packaging is made possible by using bio-based and recyclable materials. These materials contribute a great deal to protecting and ensuring a sustainable environment.

Abstract
Food packaging serves purposes of food product safety and easy handling and transport by preventing chemical contamination and enhancing shelf life, which provides convenience for consumers. Various types of materials, including plastics, glass, metals, and papers and their composites, have been used for food packaging. However, owing to consumers' increased health awareness, the significance of transferring harmful materials from packaging materials into foods is of greater concern. This review highlights the interactions of food with packaging materials and elaborates the mechanism, types, and contributing factors of migration of chemical substances from the packaging to foods. Also, various types of chemical migrants from different packaging materials with their possible impacts on food safety and human health are discussed. We conclude with a future outlook based on legislative considerations and ongoing technical contributions to optimization of food-package interactions.

Abstract
AbstractThe objective of the study was to determine the content of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb),
arsenic (As), aluminium (Al), thallium (Tl), antimony (Sb) and uranium (U) in the
apple and orange juices and black currant nectar in relation to the kind of
packaging. Also, probabilistic risk assessment (non-carcinogenic) was estimated by
models including target hazard quotient (THQ and THQ*). Aluminium (Al) was present at
the highest concentration in the analysed juices and nectars, with average
concentration ranging from 1.34 mg/kg in orange juices (glass) to
4.26 mg/kg in black currant nectar (glass). Fruit juices and nectars kept in
tetra pack packaging were characterised by elevated concentrations of Al and Sb,
while the products in glass packaging contained significantly higher concentrations
of As compared with the products in tetra pack packaging. Although the average
concentrations of trace elements were lower than the standard limit, exposure to
non-carcinogenic factors was demonstrated.

Direct Rapid Determination of Trace Aluminum in Various Water Samples with Quercetin by Reverse Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Based on Fabric Phase Sorptive Extraction Technique.

Abstract
The determination of trace levels of aluminum by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection using quercetin, a natural bioactive flavonol, as a metal complexation agent is presented in the current article. The developed method has been successfully applied to the direct determination of aluminum in water samples collected from various sources. A preconcentration technique is indispensable due to the presence of aluminum in environmental water at trace levels. Fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE), a relatively new but promising sample preparation technique, was applied to preconcentrate quercetin-Al(III) complex from water samples. Efficient extraction of the quercetin-Al(III) complex from aqueous samples has been accomplished by applying FPSE using a cellulose fabric substrate coated with sol-gel C18 hybrid nanocomposite sorbent. Baseline separation of Al-quercetin complex has been achieved on a reverse phase C18 column with the use of acetonitrile: 3% acetic acid (30:70; v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The new FPSE-HPLC-UV method can be used for the routine screening of Al ions in various water samples with high sensitivity, precision and reliability.

Abstract
The levels of approximately 70 elements were determined in different culinary nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, bitter almonds, pecans, cashews, Brazil nuts, pistachios, pine nuts, peanuts and coconuts) and seeds (pumpkin and sunflower) available on the Swedish market. The study was limited to raw, virtually unprocessed nuts and seeds (both shelled and unshelled) excluding mixed, roasted or salted products. In total, 44 products from different suppliers were analyzed, with the number of samples per nut/seed variety reflecting the availability of unprocessed products in retail outlets, varying from two for bitter almonds and pistachios to six for hazelnuts and walnuts. This selection includes samples from at least 11 different countries of origin. The optimized analytical procedure consists of microwave-assisted sample digestion using a HNO3/HF mixture, followed by multi-elemental analysis by double focusing, sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The analyses were accompanied by rigorous quality control measures including thorough control of potential sample contamination at all analytical stages, participation in inter-laboratory performance assessment schemes, and the analysis of certified reference materials of plant origin. Concentrations thus obtained were compared with data from product labels (where available), food composition tables and other relevant surveys, demonstrating, depending on the elements in question, close agreement as well as considerable differences.
