Abstract:

Health hazards oftentimes occur as a result of improper disposal of disused water sachet. Therefore, the feasibility of using disused water sachets as furnish in cement composite production as a means of curtailing was this menace investigated. Disused water sachets were collected, washed, dried and shredded into strips measuring 2.1 x 0.9 x 0.007 cm. They were blended with cement and water and formed in composite boards at 2% disused sachet content, 1:2 and 1:3 cement to sand ratio, and 0.45 water to cement ratio. The fabricated boards were conditioned for 28 days and tested for strength prop

Abstract:

The sachet water consumption has substantially increased among the population. The present work is based on a sample of students from a four secondary schools in the commune of Akanda. This survey was carried out in order to determine the students criteria for choosing sachet water, their perception of taste and the quality of water. It resulted that students mainly drink sachet water after school: 52.70 % of the students surveyed drink about one to two sachets per day. However, a majority of students (56.57 %) complain about the taste of sachet water, often considered unpleasant, or associate

Active food package incorporating an ethanol vapour-controlled release sachet has been known for its efficacies to delay microbial proliferation in fresh fruit and vegetable. High humidity inside the package could be utilized as a stimulus for conditional releases as a means to stabilize the sachet prior to being used. The present research was undertaken to investigate the effects of relative humidity on ethanol vapour release from the hydrophilic film-based sachet.

Population growth in West Africa has outpaced local efforts to expand potable water services, and private sector sale of packaged drinking water has filled an important gap in household water security. Consumption of drinking water packaged in plastic sachets has soared in West Africa over the last decade, but the long-term implications of these changing consumption patterns remain unclear and unstudied.

Abstract Packaged water (sold in bags or bottles) is widely consumed in many countries and is the main drinking-water source for most urban Ghanaian households. There are, however, few studies of packaged water production. This study aims to assess the source water, treatment, and manufacturing characteristics of sachet water (vended in 500 mL plastic bags), together with point-of-manufacture risks to hygienic production. A sample of 90 sachets was collected of brands sold in four neighbourhoods in Accra, Ghana, their packaging and physical characteristics recorded, and a risk score calculated

Abstract:

The consumption of packaged water in Ghana has grown significantly in recent years. By 2017, “sachet water”—machine-sealed 500ml plastic bags of drinking water—was consumed by 33% of Ghanaian households. Reliance on sachet water has previously been associated with the urban poor, yet recent evidence suggests a customer base which crosses socioeconomic lines. Here, we conduct a repeated cross-sectional analysis of three nationally representative datasets to examine the changing demography of sachet water consumers between 2010 and 2017.

Abstract:

Sachet water is a common means of obtaining drinking water in many countries in Africa. However, there are concerns about the portability of this water type. This study investigated toxic metal concentrations in five commercially available sachet waters in Nigeria. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were calculated. The Ames Salmonella fluctuation assay (Salmonella typhimurium: TA100 and TA98) and SOS chromotest (Escherichia coli PQ37) were used to assess the sachet waters’ capacity to cause DNA damage. A higher level of Cr, Cd, As, and Fe in the sachet waters than the allowable limit

Abstract:

Sachet water has become a popular substitute for the inadequate supply of portable water because of its availability, accessibility and affordability. In Nigeria, sales and consumption of sachet water are on the increase, and its potability is crucial for the general public's health. This study assessed the microbiological quality of sachet water sold in Oye-Ekiti Local Government Area (LGA). Sixteen (16) samples of sachet water were obtained from four different brands (A, B, C, and D) from various vendors in Oye-Ekiti LGA, while the control samples were obtained from the water production fact

Abstract:

Lamb meat has been commercialized in Brazil almost exclusively as a frozen product due to the longer shelf life provided by freezing when compared to refrigeration. However, as a result of the current trend of increased demand for convenience products, a need has emerged for further studies to facilitate the marketing of refrigerated lamb cuts. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of active packaging technology in extending the shelf life of lamb loins (Longissimus lumborum) stored under refrigeration (1±1 ° C) when compared to the traditional vacuum packaging.

Abstract:

Water is essential to everyday life and development and without water survival and sustainability would be difficult. Thus, efforts have been put in by governments, organizations, and individuals to sustain and enhance the quality of life and development. One example is the production of bottled and sachet-packaged drinking water to ensure the availability of clean drinking water. This study was conducted to understand the increased demand for bottled and sachet-packaged drinking water. A total of 245 households were interviewed in seven regions of Ghana through semi structured questionnaire.
