Q1. Shrink wrapping is also known as _________?
A. Stretch wrapping B. Bundle wrapping C. Orbital wrapping D. None of the aboveANSWER: Bundle wrapping
- EXPLANATION– Shrink wrapping is also known as Bundle wrapping. Shrink wrapping is a packaging process where a group of products is wrapped in shrinkable plastic films which hold the product firmly after exposure to hot air. It eases transport and inventory management. Since they held together with a group of products, they are also known as bundle wrapping.
Q2. The term WVTR related to packaging stands for _______?
A. Water vapor transmission rate B. Water vapor traveling ratio C. Water Vapour transfusion rate D. Water Vapour transmission resistanceANSWER: Water Vapor Transmission rate
- Explanation: Moisture vapor transmission rate is also called water vapor transmission rate (WVTR). It is a measure of the amount of water that passes through a material over a specific period of time.WVTR is measured in mg/Day per container.
Q3. The term “gravure” in packaging talks about which of the following process?
A. Lamination B. Co-extrusion C. Printing D. MouldingANSWER – Printing
- Explanation – Gravure is a type of printing process. It is a direct transfer method for printing onto wood-pulp fiber-based, synthetic or laminate substrates such as polyesters, nylon, paper, carton board, aluminum foil, etc. They are used in the manufacturing of food packaging, labels, and non-food packaging materials.
Q4. In sensory science QDA stands for?
A. Quality definition and assessment B. Qualified Director for analysis C. Qualitative Descriptive analysis D. Quantitative descriptive analysisANSWER – Quantitative Descriptive Analysis
- Explanation-Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) is a behavioral sensory evaluation approach that uses descriptive panels to measure a product’s sensory characteristics. Panelists are trained to measure the specific quality attributes of the product to yield quantitative product description which can be analyzed statistically.
Q5. The egg packs and trays used for apples and other fresh produce are example of _________?
A. Laminated paperboard B. Molded pulp containers C. Crafted paperboard D. Oldest form of paperboard packANSWER – Moulded pulp containers
- Explanation – Molded pulp packaging is made from a variety of fibrous materials, such as recycled paper, cardboard, or other natural fibers (sugarcane, bamboo, wheat straw). Molded pulp containers are designed with round corners and complex three-dimensional shapes. They are used for eggs, apples, and other fresh produce.
