Abstract: A method for the assessment of the product shelf life in a package, and a device for accelerating the permeation of a test gas into a package. To significantly reduce the test time and accelerate the permeation of a test gas, and in order to supply realistic results of the time-dependent permeations into the charged product in a simple manner, a closed package filled with charged product is placed in an overpressure chamber, and stored in the overpressure chamber over a specified time period under overpressure and at a specified temperature in a test gas atmosphere, wherein a defined amount of test gas permeates into the package. The package is stored over a certain time period under the influence of heat and/or light and then the charged product is subjected to analytical and/or sensory examination.

Abstract: A drinking straw attachment device for attaching drinking straws to beverage containers, wherein the drinking straws are fed in the form of a drinking straw band provided with a glue layer, with a feeder device having, at least the point where the cutting device severs two drinking straws from each other, a recess matched in its height position with the glue layer and the height extension of which corresponds at least to the width of the glue layer. A method for attaching drinking straws to beverage containers includes cutting device drinking straw band into pieces between each of the two drinking straws with a cutting device in the area of the feeder device, and piercing the cutting device through the glue layer and the drinking straw band into a recess provided on the feeder device in a height position corresponding to the glue layer, and whereby the height extension of the recess corresponds at least to the width of the glue band.
