The Impact Packaging Type Has on the Flavor of Wine
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines how different wine packaging types — glass, PET, bag-in-box, aluminum cans, and Tetra Pak — affect wine flavor, aroma, and consumer preference. The authors find that while glass remains dominant, alternative packaging materials introduce varying degrees of chemical migration and oxidation that can alter sensory profiles.
This is a literature review of the most commonly available wine packaging categories. This includes glass bottles, polyethylene terephthalate bottles (PET), bag-in-box (BIB), aluminum cans, and Tetra Pak. This review includes a description and history of each category. In addition, the market share and environmental impacts of each category are discussed. Special attention is paid to the reported impact on packaged wine flavor and aroma for each packaging type. Finally, the potential impacts on consumer preference are discussed. While glass is still the dominant packaging material within the wine industry and by consumer demand, economic and environmental concerns are driving the industry and consumers to investigate and adopt alternative packaging materials.

Degradation and Migration in Olive Oil Packaged in Polyethylene Terephthalate under Thermal Treatment and Storage Conditions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied how thermal treatment and storage conditions affect the migration of contaminants from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging into olive oil. The study found that higher temperatures accelerated the degradation of PET and increased the migration of potentially harmful compounds into the oil, raising food safety concerns about plastic-packaged cooking oils.
