Timely overview of functional food packaging made with nanotechnology and nanomaterials
In Nanotechnology-Enhanced Food Packaging, a distinguished group of researchers delivers a comprehensive and insightful introduction to the application of nanomaterials in food packaging. This edited volume covers recent innovationsโas well as future perspectivesโin the industry and offers a complete overview of different types of nanomaterials used in food packaging.
The book also discusses the use of nanoparticles in the development of active and functional food packaging and the related environmental and toxicological aspects. Featuring one-of-a-kind contributions from leaders in the field, Nanotechnology-Enhanced Food Packaging provides real-world solutions to food packaging challenges and considers the legislative and economic implications of new technologies.
Among the new developments in nanotechnology-enhanced food packaging covered by the book are:
- Thorough introduction to biopolymers in food packaging systems and nanostructures based on starch, their preparation, processing, and applications in packaging
- Comprehensive explorations of chitosan-based nanoparticles and their applications in the food industry
- Practical discussions of active packaging systems based on metal oxide nanoparticles and an overview of higher barrier packaging using nano-additives
- In-depth examinations of the characterization techniques for nanostructures in food packaging
Perfect for materials scientists, food technologists, and polymer chemists, Nanotechnology-Enhanced Food Packaging also belongs on the bookshelves of plastics technologists and allied professionals in the food industry.
