Analiza in razvoj embalaže za suho hrano hišnih živali

Uršič, Ana (avtor), Vrabič Brodnjak, Urška (mentor)

V današnjem času si je nemogoče predstavljati hrano brez embalaže, enako hrano za hišne ljubljenčke. Težko si predstavljamo, kako so naši predniki preživeli brez embalaže, ko pa je danes vse ovito v njo in je eno izmed glavnih komunikacijskih sredstev s kupci. Hišni ljubljenčki so vedno bili del številnih družin. Ljudje vedno bolj razvajamo in gojimo ljubezen do svojih ljubljenčkov, ob tem pa cveti trg embalaže za hišne živali. Danes na trgu zasledimo množico različne hrane in priboljškov, ki se nahajajo v najrazličnejših embalažah. V magistrskem delu smo se osredinili izključno na shranjevanje suhe hrane za hišne živali in embalažo zanjo. Problem, s katerim se soočamo, je način zapiranja odprte embalaže. Ugotovili smo, da je v veliki večini embalaža za to vrsto živil nezadovoljivo opremljena z zapiralnim sistemom, kar posledično vodi k hitrejšemu kvarjenju živil in k lažji penetraciji škodljivih insektov v notranjost embalaže. To pa seveda povzroča znatne denarne izgube za živilsko industrijo kot tudi za nas, potrošnike. Nezaželeni insekti na embalaži povzročijo različne morfološke poškodbe. Te so odvisne od vrste insektov in vrste embalažnega materiala. Glede na problematiko pomanjkljivih zapiralnih sistemov za embalažo smo se odločili, da oblikujemo zapiralni sistem v obliki pokrovčka. Magistrsko delo zajema raziskavo, načrtovanje in izdelavo zapiralnega sistema za embalažo. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili embalažo, njene funkcije, materiale, ki se uporabljajo za to vrsto blaga, načine zapiranja embalaže in obstoječe raziskave na področju vdora škodljivih insektov v embalažo. Predstavili smo še najpogosteje uporabljene embalažne materiale z različnimi načini zapiranja. V eksperimentalnem delu smo analizirali polimerne materiale, načrtovali in nato izdelali inovativen način zapiranja.

Izvleček

Nowadays it is impossible to imagine food without packaging, even when it comes to pet food. It is difficult to imagine how our ancestors survived without packaging, since everything is wrapped in it today and it represents one of the main communication links with customers as well. Pets have always been a big part of many families. People’s love and affection towards their pets grow by the day and we tend to pamper them more and more. With that, the market of pet food packaging has flourished and we can see a vast variety of food and treats in various packaging. In this master's thesis, we focused exclusively on the storage and packaging of dry pet food and the problem that arises there. The problem we primarily face is the way of closing the open packaging. It has been determined that most packaging for such food type is not adequately equipped with a closing system, which leads to faster deterioration of food and easier penetration of harmful insects into the packaging itself. On the other hand, this causes significant money loss for the food industry as well as for the consumers. These unwanted insects cause various types of morphological damage on the packaging, depending on the type of insects and packaging material. Based on the defective closing systems, we decided to form a closing system in the form of a cap. The master thesis deals with the research, design and production of a closing system for packaging. In the theoretical part, we presented the scope of packaging, its functions, materials used for this type of goods, ways of closing the packaging and we included the existing research in the field of penetration of harmful insects into packaging as well. Based on the current state of packaging on the market, we presented the most commonly used packaging materials with different closing methods. In the experimental part, we analysed polymer materials, planned and then produced an innovative closing method.
