Enhancement of food security through appropriate packaging to build up resilience for disasters

Result revealed that there is a strong positive co-relationship between moisture ingress and period of storage of noodles packed in LLDE, OPP, DL and TL packaging materials as coefficient of correlation ship were 0.89, 0.99, 0.98 and 0.99 respectively. The developed equations for the same order of the packing materials for maximum period of storage were y = 6.31 + 0.606x, y = 6.92 + 0.307x, y = 7.07 + 0.243x and y = 7.27 + 0.166x (y = period of storage, x = moisture content %). According to these equations Noodles can be stored safely for 12, 19, 28 and 42 weeks respectively in LLDE, OPP, DL and TL packaging materials.
