Nano-enabled packaging is the next phase of evolution in the packaging industry. It enhances a product's shelf life and reduces the risk of contamination. Nano-enabled packaging is formed using two basic components: nano-composites and nano-fillers. Nano-composite is a framework or base where nano-fillers such as metals, metal oxides, clays, and carbon nano-tubes can be used to fill in the gaps of the framework. Various nano-fillers have different properties that enhance packaging materials to give them various functionality such as oxygen scavenger, ethylene scavenger, and antioxidants. Rising demand for anti-counterfeit products, prevention of contamination, and increasing application of nano-enabled packaging are driving the growth of the nano-enabled packaging market in Canada. However, lack of information on the impact of nano-materials on food and beverage products, high cost associated with nano-packaging, and increasing complexity with developing a customized nano-enabled packaging products are restraining the growth of the market to a certain extent.

Power supplies are electronic or electrical equipment, which changes the form of a source of power into the desired form compatible with equipment for which the power supply is used. Medical power supply devices are used in a wide range of medical applications such as MRI, X-ray, CT and PET scanners, patient monitors, blood analyzers, DNA equipment, dental equipment, and robotic surgical devices. Specification and selection of power supplies for medical applications is a task that needs to be executed effectively; especially, due to the frequent changes in the safety and environmental standards for medical equipment. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) creates significant distortion to the operation of equipment. Medical equipment is more sensitive to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) as compared to industrial equipment. This, in turn, makes EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) with efficient performance a key challenge for OEMs of medical power supply devices.

Mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) are a glycolipid class of bio-surfactants obtained by a variety yeast and fungal strains that exhibit excellent biochemical and interfacial properties. Bio-surfactant containing 4-O- -D-mannopyranosylmeso-erythritol as the hydrophilic group and a fatty acid and/or an acetyl group as the hydrophobic moiety are known as mannosylerythritol lipids. MEL is reported to be secreted by Ustilago sp. (as a minor component along with cellobiose lipid) and Pseudozyma sp. (as a major component).

Household insecticides include any substances applied to clothing, skin, or other surfaces to control or repel insects. Demand for insecticides is currently on the rise; ranging from sprays for controlling insect infestations in the kitchen, to weed killers for gardens and lawns and mosquito repellents for indoor or outdoor use. Household insecticides have been widely gaining acceptance to keep homes and gardens insect-free and to ensure safe and healthy living environment.

Frozen fruits are maintained at a temperature usually below -9.5°C, at which all moisture is in the solid state. This helps prevent growth of microorganisms, slows down decomposition and in turn helps keep fruits fresh for a longer time period. Frozen fruits contain high levels of essential vitamins and potentially healthy antioxidants as compared to fresh ones.

A mixture of highly sticky, black, and viscous organic liquids that is entirely soluble in carbon disulfide and primarily composed of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is called bitumen. Naturally occurring bitumen is a tar-lie form of petroleum which is so dense, heavy, and thick that it must be heated or diluted before it could flow. Bitumen mostly contains sulfur and various heavy metals such as vanadium, lead, nickel, chromium, mercury, and other toxic elements.

The Europe (U.K., Spain, France & Switzerland) biodegradable foodservice disposables market is experiencing a healthy growth, attributed to the increasing initiatives by the foodservice providers towards reducing waste.
