Question: What is the term for the process of designing evaluating and producing systems used to extend shelf life, monitor freshness, display information on quality, improve safety, and improve convenience of products?
Context: Oxygen scavengers or oxygen absorbers are added to enclosed packaging to help remove or decrease the level of oxygen in the package.  They are used to help maintain product safety and extend shelf life. STREAMS® Integrated Intelligent Transport System is an enterprise traffic management system designed to operate in the Microsoft Windows environment.  Like most traffic management systems, STREAMS® is an array of institutional, human, hardware, and software components designed to monitor, control, and manage traffic on streets and highways.  Advanced traffic management systems come under the banner of ITS (intelligent transport systems).  ITS is an umbrella term referring to the application of information and communications technology to transport operations in order to reduce operating costs, improve safety and maximise the capacity of existing infrastructure.  STREAMS® provides traffic signal management, incident management, motorway management, vehicle priority, traveller information, flood monitoring and parking guidance within a single integrated system.  STREAMS® is developed by Transmax®. 6-Benzylaminopurine, benzyl adenine or BAP is a first-generation synthetic cytokinin that elicits plant growth and development responses, setting blossoms and stimulating fruit richness by stimulating cell division.  It is an inhibitor of respiratory kinase in plants, and increases post-harvest life of green vegetables.  Influence of cytokinin as 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) in combination with other methods on postharvest green color retention on broccoli heads and asparagus spears, showed positive results for quality retention.  Treatment with 10 and 15 ppm BAP can be used to extend shelf life of fresh-cut broccoli florets and shredded cabbage during storage at 6±1°C at commercial level. Clinical quality management systems (CQMS) are systems used in the life sciences sector (primarily in the pharmaceutical, biologics and medical device industries) designed to manage quality management best practices throughout clinical research and clinical study management.  A CQMS system is designed to manage all of the documents, activities, tasks, processes, quality events, relationships, audits and training that must be administered and controlled throughout the life of a clinical trial.  The premise of a CQMS is to bring together the activities led by two sectors of clinical research, Clinical Quality and Clinical Operations, to facilitate cross-functional activities to improve efficiencies and transparency and to encourage the use of risk mitigation and risk management practices at the clinical study level. The terms active packaging, intelligent packaging, and smart packaging refer to packaging systems used with foods, pharmaceuticals, and several other types of products.  They help extend shelf life, monitor freshness, display information on quality, improve safety, and improve convenience. Convenience food, or tertiary processed food, is food that is commercially prepared (often through processing) to optimise ease of consumption.  Such food is usually ready to eat without further preparation.  It may also be easily portable, have a long shelf life, or offer a combination of such convenient traits.  Although restaurant meals meet this definition, the term is seldom applied to them.  Convenience foods include ready-to-eat dry products, frozen foods such as TV dinners, shelf-stable foods, prepared mixes such as cake mix, and snack foods. A point-of-sale display (POS display) is a specialized form of sales promotion that is found near, on, or next to a checkout counter (the "point of sale").  They are intended to draw the customers' attention to products, which may be new products, or on special offer, and are also used to promote special events, e.g. seasonal or holiday-time sales.  POS displays can include shelf edging, dummy packs, display packs, display stands, mobiles, posters, and banners. POS can also refer to systems used to record transactions between the customer and the commerce. Packaging is the technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use.  Packaging also refers to the process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages.  Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use.  Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells.  In many countries it is fully integrated into government, business, institutional, industrial, and personal use. Shelf life is the length of time that a commodity may be stored without becoming unfit for use, consumption, or sale.  In other words, it might refer to whether a commodity should no longer be on a pantry shelf (unfit for use), or just no longer on a supermarket shelf (unfit for sale, but not yet unfit for use).  It applies to cosmetics, foods and beverages, medical devices, medicines, explosives, pharmaceutical drugs, chemicals, tires, batteries and many other perishable items.  In some regions, an advisory "best before", mandatory "use by" or "freshness date" is required on packaged perishable foods.  The concept of expiration date is related but legally distinct in some jurisdictions. Processed meat is considered to be any meat which has been modified in order either to improve its taste or to extend its shelf life.  Methods of meat processing include salting, curing, fermentation, and smoking.  Processed meat is usually composed of pork or beef, but also poultry, while it can also contain offal or meat by-products such as blood.  Processed meat products include bacon, ham, hotdogs, sausages, salami, corned beef, beef jerky, canned meat and meat-based sauces.  Meat processing includes all the processes that change fresh meat with the exception of simple mechanical processes such as cutting, grinding or mixing.
