A retort pouch or retortable pouch is a type of food packaging made from a laminate of flexible plastic and metal foils. It allows the sterile packaging of a wide variety of food and drink handled by aseptic processing, and is used as an alternative to traditional industrial canning methods
Oxygen is life, but in the case of foods, it is not so. When harvested, fresh fruits and vegetables
are at the peak of their quality. Their quality cannot be improved; it can only be deteriorated or
maintained. Fresh, high-quality products are the primary requirements for the national and international food industry during this current era. After harvesting, especially for fresh fruits and vegetables, continue their respiration process. The respiration rate has to be reduced to maintain quality, especially when the products are stored for an extended period or shipped to distant markets. The best way to preserve quality and extend shelf life is by cooling, and another method used to extend shelf life is the modification of the atmosphere surrounding the product. Also known as “CA storage” in the produce business, Controlled atmospheric storage is the storage in which external control systems control the atmosphere of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen (and sometimes other gases). Outside air consists of approximately 78% nitrogen (N2), 21% oxygen (O2), 0.045% carbon dioxide (CO2). CA lowers the oxygen level generally to 0.5-2.5%, depending on the type of product and the variety. CA conditions extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetables with a factor of 2 to 4.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

2. What is Retortable Pouch?
➢ Retortable pouch is flexible, laminated food packages capable of withstanding the
time and temperature.
➢ The shape & structure of the pouch often leads to reduced thermal processing
time compared with that of a can.
➢ Good quality, shelf stable table products are being produced with improved
texture and nutritional value comparing favorably with those of frozen foods.
➢ They are convenient and have brand enhancements & are more environment
friendly with a with lower weight volume and less waste.

3. 3
➢ High costs for machinery, slower filling rates, and considerations such as residual air and the
delicate nature of the laminate structure have previously limited their uptake
➢ Food is spoiled principally by microbial action.Thermal processing destroys these harmful
microorganisms by heat.
➢ It represents a unique combination of package process and product technologies with
potential, functional, quality and economic benefits.
➢ The term "Retort Pack" is used to describe a flexible or semi-rigid package into which food
products are placed, sealed and sterilized at temperature greater than 11 OOC.
➢ Retort packages maintain their material integrity as well as their required barrier properties
for the designated product during package handling, thermal processing and subsequent
handling and transport abuse.
➢ Retort packages are available in the form of flexible pouches of co-extruded and/or laminated
films of Poly ethylene terephthalate and Poly-propylene with aluminium foil, thermoformed
when it comes to trays and containers by injection blow moulding process.

➔ The 3-ply laminate consisting of PET/AI foil/PP is the
most common material used in retort pouches.
➔ Polyester used as the outer layer in thickness of about
12p, gives the required strength to the pouch.
➔ PET with its excellent glossy surface and printability. is
reverse printed so that inks are embedded between the
outer layer & the next inner layer to give striking
graphics.
➔ Polypropylene (PP) used as the inner layer usually in
the thickness of about 75p provides
➔ Critical seal integrity, flexibility, strength & taste and
odour compatibility with a variety of food products.

migration of film components in conformance with food and drug regulations.
Good heat sealability.
Low water vapour transmission rate.
Low gas (Oxygen) permeability.

Physical strength to resist any handling abuse during
manufacturing and during distribution cycles.
Resistance to temperature from below OOC to at least 121 oc to cover
possible storage condition exposures and the minimum sterilization level for

Retort pouch products are processed to
achieve commercial sterility and hence are
shelf stable at room temperature without
requiring refrigeration or freezing.
Retort pouched food
products can be reheated
quickly, usually by the boil-
in-the-bag method.
The retort pouch product can be
consumed as such without heating
or it can either be heated quickly by
keeping the pouch in boiling water
for about 3 minutes or by opening the
pouch, removing and heating the
food product directly in the
bowl in microwave oven for a minute.
Frozen food, in contrast,
require thawing and heating
for
about half an hour.
