Food Containers
Food Containers are very important in holding our everyday foods till the time we want to utilize them.
Take a second, think about the materials the food container is made of. Food containers or carriers or holders are made of various materials which can have negative effect on our foods which therein remains as toxin in our body when consumed.
Some may argue that "it doesn't matter," but I tell you it matters a lot, though among all the materials used in holding foods, the safest is the Paper Bag!
During processing of foods let's never expect our foods to go in and out through the processing line without some defects from the contact the food had with the processing vessel's surface, especially those in the liquid or semi liquid (paste) forms.
Be in the know that anytime, especially your foods in liquid forms comes in contact with the surface of its container a reaction must take place but all this depends on the magnitude (%) at which the reaction takes place against time. That's why whole lot of preference is given to packaging material which stores the foods before their shelf life is met...
We still observe that some foods go bad or off taste before their expiration, why?
1. Either the handler was careless made some errors in the composition of the ingredients.
2. The rate at which the container's surface reacts with the food stored.
3. Exposure to light which might catalyze the enzymes in the foods and change the reaction sequence and one or two stability constituent of the food might get be used up or be lost during chemical reaction.
4. Heat is also a major factor which must be watched out, since heat can denature proteins and we know that enzymes in themselves are protein make up. Then foods stored must be kept away from certain range of heat especially those beyond the room temperature.
and many more other factors.
The above stated also goes for most drugs.
