INTRODUCTION
The history of packagingdrinks dates back as early as the 17 th century. Back then, Waters from natural springs were recognized as being safe (even healthy) to drink from earliest times and were transported by wherever means that were available. Naturally carbonated waters were collected into earthenware containers which were tightly sealed with cork and wax, usually not very successfully. The used of earthenware bottles proved to be unsatisfactory for the more highly carbonated aerated mineral waters and they were soon replaced by glass bottles. Many of the early glass bottles had round bottoms ensuring that they were stored on their side, thereby keeping the corks moist and so preventing leakage from corks drying out. The manufacture of glass bottles was a skilled job as they were hand blown. Although some semi-automation had been introduced earlier, the first patent for an automatic glass bottle blowing machine was granted to Michael J. Owens in the USA in 1904.High pressure generated inside bottles by the carbonation caused frequent leakage and although improved by wiring-in-place, corks were generally unsatisfactorily. Many alternative forms of seals were patented over the years and these fell broadly into three main categories: Wire and rubber sealing devices were especially popular in the USA until the early 1900s. The wire could be either an internal spring form, which held a seal in place on the inside of the neck, or of the external swing type, in which an external wire frame was used to hold a ceramic plug in place against a rubber seal. First patented by Charles de Quillfeldt in 1874, this latter type is still currently in use for some specialty. Variations on the theme of using an internal ball made from rubber, ebonite or glass were developed and used with varying degrees of success. The ball was held in place by the internal pressure. The most successful of these was patented by Hiram Codd of London. His bottle was widely used in the UK from 1870s until the 1930s. A similar bottle, but with a floating rubber ball acting as seal, was patented in the USA by S. Twitchell in 1883.
The third popular alternative was the internal screw top bottle. Unlike todays bottle, the thread was on the inside of the bottle neck and an ebonite or wooden stopper screwed on to the neck, with a rubber washer being used to improve the seal. These types of stoppers were in common usage well into the 1950s in the UK. Ebonite, an early type of plastic resin material soon replaced wood, which has a tendency to absorb moisture, causing it to swell and crack the bottle neck.
A major step forward in sealing development was made by William Painter, who in 1895 patented the Crown Cork, founding the Crown Cork and Seal Company in 1 April 1892. Although initially slow to gain acceptance for two reasons: The existing large capital investment in returnable bottles and bottling plant, and The need for a tool to remove the crown, the crown cork eventually became popular, especially for small single serve and beer bottles. Screw stopper retained their popularity for the larger bottles where re-sealability was important.
Except for specialty earthenware ginger beer containers, glass bottles were the only form of packaging for carbonates for over hundred years until the introduction of cans in the 1960s. Then, just as the second half of the nineteenth century had been the time for product development, the second half of the twentieth century became the time for packaging and distribution of development.

impact of saturated fatty acids on cardiovascular disease. A high dietary intake of sugar (in this case, sucrose or disaccharide) can substantially increase the risk of heart and vascular diseases. According to a Swedish study of 4301 people undertaken by Lund University and Malm University College, sugar was associated with higher levels of bad blood lipids, causing a high level of small and medium low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL). In contrast, the amount of fat eaten did not affect the level of blood fats. As a side note, moderate quantities of alcohol and protein were linked to an increase in the good HDL blood fat. Alzheimer's disease It is suggested that Alzheimer's disease is linked with the western diet. This is characterised by high intakes of red meat, sugary foods, high-fat foods and refined grains. It has been hypothesized that dementia could be prevented by the taking of mono-supplements of specific vitamins or drugs, but studies have shown that this approach does not show appreciable results. Dietary pattern analysis considers overall eating patterns, comparing diets of people with Alzheimer's disease to diets of healthy controls using factor analysis. This analysis shows a major eating pattern for those with Alzheimer's characterised by a high intake of meat, butter, high-fat dairy products, eggs and refined sugar, while the major eating pattern for those without Alzheimer's was characterised by a high intake of grains and vegetables. One group of experimenters compared a normal rodent diet (19% protein, 5% fat and 60% complex carbohydrate) with free access to water against the same diet but with free access to a 10% sucrose solution. The experimental results underscore the potential role of dietary sugar in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease and suggest that controlling the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may be an effective way to curtail the risk of developing the disease. Macular degeneration Tooth decay There are links between free sugar consumption and macular degeneration in older age. In regard to contributions to tooth decay, the role of free sugars is also recommended to be below an absolute maximum of 10% of energy intake, with a minimum of zero. There is "convincing evidence from human intervention studies, epidemiological studies, animal studies and experimental studies, for an association between the amount and frequency of free sugars intake and dental caries" while other sugars (complex carbohydrate) consumption is normally associated with a lower rate of dental caries.Lower rates of tooth decay have been seen in individuals withhereditary fructose intolerance.

Usual materials used to package drinks Materials used for packaging consist mainly of petrochemical products, usually plastic, and also cartons made of paperboard. Plastic packaging can be massed produced but are difficult to decompose. Thousands of years are required for plastics to break down and in the process, may release poisonous toxic, thus polluting the environment. Therefore, cartons made of paperboard are bio-degradable and more environment friendly.

REFLECTION
I have gained many valuable lessons throughout the project. This includes gaining knowledge on how to carry out a good project. I realized that the planning stage is the most important part of the project because any mistakes at this stage would jeopardize the whole assignment. In order for the project to be successful, I collected information from the internet and brochures pertaining to the types of packet drinks available in the market. I studied their shapes; height, width and length. Then, based on my observation, I came up with my own design. From another aspect, I realized the importance of sharing information with others. With reliable friends, finding and sharing information helped me to complete the project successfully. My friends and I discussed about the project and we shared ideas with one another. This discussion has made me more confident to carry out future projects. Not only that, this experience has enabled me to communicate with others effectively, thus enhancing my communication skills. Finally, this project has taught me the importance of punctuality and carrying out proper research to avoid plagiarism.
