SATISFACTION OF THE EMPLOYED IN FOOD BUSINESSES AND SUCCESS OF FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

Efficiency of food safety management system application, such as HACCP system, depends on personnel employed in a company (salary, social status, job stability, superiors’ relation toward workers and relationship among workers themselves, knowledge background, etc). Results presented in this paper are the results of surveys conducted in food businesses in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A special part of the research is related to employees’ social status and employees’ opinion of their status in a company

Sustainable development of gree solvent separation process

Solvents defi ne a major part of the environmental performance of processes in the chemical industry and impact on cost, safety and health issues. The idea of green solvents expresses the goal to minimize the environmental impact resulting from the use of solvents in chemical production. In spite of conventional separation methods, precise process green technologies are based on the application of modern processes and process equipment as well as control and management systems. These processes are optimized in order to produce maximal profi tability with minimal environmental impact. Non-conventional separation procedure - supercritical fl uid CO2 extraction (SFE-CO2) conforms to the strict demands of the precise process eco-technologies. It represents a perspective method especially in obtaining eco-friendly extracts from vegetable and animal raw materials. Implementation of SFE-CO2 as a green solvent, for isolation of vegetable extracts results in obtaining high quality and high purity total extract and excludes the presence oforganic solvents, heavy metals and some microorganisms. This work provides proper analysis of the sustainable development of alternative separation processes that are based on the implementation of supercritical CO2 as a green solvent

Sustainable technology and alternative energy sources in the food industry

Food industry practice uses large amounts of material goods and is dependent on continuity of supply of these goods. Sustainable technologies in the food industry include the processes and systems in the use of raw materials, equipment and techniques that provide protection against environmental pollution. This paper summarizes a wide range of technological issues at the industry level, highlighting the need for an integrated approach and understanding of the various components of sustainable systems in the food industry. Sustainable technologies in the food industry are based on the concept of using less energy without depleting natural resources, and to directly or indirectly pollute the environment. According to the concept of technological sustainability, material goods should be re-used or recycled at the end of their useful life. Eco-effi ciency resources in the food industry require the use of renewable energy sources in order to reduce use offossil sources. For this purpose, especially suitable solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy of the power of biofuels obtained from food industry waste. For now, such systems often have high capital costs. However, the design of ecological sustainability is a long-term vision that needs to adapt to lifestyle, to meet the needs of present without compromising the needs of future generations. Technological development will be sustainable, if we take into account social, environmental and economic factors. Sustainable agriculture and food combine the efforts of environmental protection, economic sustainability and social equity

Dissemination Booklet

The past three years gave us once again a great example of the strength of Tempus in gradually but surely improving the quality of higher education in the partner countries. Improving the cooperation between the academic world and the work field is an important key factor in the further implementation of the Bologna declaration in the partner countries. There is a great synergy between the universities from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The cooperation agreement between the partner universities guarantees the sustainability of the project results. Therefore, a detailed strategic plan has been developed. Moreover, the cooperation on the further development of sustainable technologies remains an important topic in the European policy. This is an ideal subject for further cooperation: not only between the EU partners and the partner countries but also between the academic partners and the industry partners. Sustainable technologies do not only offer great chances in further promoting the idea of lifelong learning, but also open great possibilities for stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship

Sustainable development in materials engineering

The challenge of engineers towards sustainability is to promote zero manufacturing waste, develop molecules that are not persistent, toxic and bio-accumulative as well as to have no hazardous manufacturing processes. These goals typically result in common practices among engineers to design new processes and products and to upgrade the existing ones satisfying the three aspects of sustainability i.e. economic development, environmental protection and societal goods. Examples for design of materials for sustainable solutions will be presented in this paper. Porous TiO2 with high surface area presents environmentally-friendly product that purifi ed water. Powder technology was employed in this investigation to design material with controlled porosity where titania oxides transform into non stehiometric Magnelly phases. Silicate based wastes, like coal combustion ash, slag fro

Nanocomposite permanent magnetic materials Nd-Fe-B type: The influence of nanocomposite on magnetic properties

The influence on the magnetic properties of nanocristalline ribbons and powders has character of microstructure, between others – the grain size volume of hard and soft magnetic phases and their distribution. Magnetic properties of ribbons and powders depend mainly on their chemical composition and parameters of their heat treatment [1]. Technology of magnets from nanocristalline ribbon consists of the following process: preparing the Nd-Fe- B alloy, preparing the ribbon, powdering of the ribbon, heat treatment of the powder and finally preparing the magnets. Nanocomposite permanent magnet materials based on Nd-Fe- B alloy with Nd low content are a new type of permanent magnetic material. The microstructure of this nanocomposite permanent magnet is composed of a mixture of magnetically soft and hard phases which provide so called exchange coupling effect
