Dr. Piringer is a chemist working in the field of packaging since
1978 at the Fraunhofer Institute of Food Technology and Packaging
in Munich. In 1997 he co-founded the FABES research company which
specializes in analysis and evaluation of mass transfer. His main
activities are testing interactions between packaging and materials
intended to come into contact with food and other products like
drugs, cosmetics, fuel, or chemicals. In addition he develops
analytical methods for determining the migration of toxicologically
relevant substances and decomposition products into packed goods as
well as sources of off-flavours occurring during their storage. As
a leading expert in this area he serves on national and European
Committees dealing in food law for food contact packaging
materials. Otto-Götz Piringer is a member of the Plastics
Commission of the German Federal Institute of Risk Assessment in
Berlin, formerly known as the German Federal Health Office. He is
author and co-author of more than 100 scientific papers.
Dr. Baner, who has degrees in food science, packaging and
agricultural engineering, has been researching and working in the
packaging field since 1981. He has worked at Michigan State
University, the Fraunhofer Institute of Food Technology and
Packaging in Munich, the Nestle Research Center in Lausanne and is
currently a research packaging scientist with Nestle Purina Petcare
in Saint Louis. His research areas encompass the experimental
determination and estimation of permeation, diffusion, sorption and
migration of flavor molecules and packaging constituents between
packaged goods and their packaging. Albert Lawrence Baner is author
and co-author of more than 30 scientific papers.
