Sustainable Materials for Food Packaging and Preservation: Food Security and Sustainability

Sustainable Materials for Food Packaging and Preservation: Food Security and Sustainability discusses the recent trends and development of biobased sustainable materials, focusing on their fabrication and application in food packaging and food preservation. This book brings together fundamental information and the most recent advances in the characterization, processing, and modification of sustainable materials and their impact on food packaging and storage of food products for improved shelf life. Special attention is offered on smart, active, and edible packaging, and the utilization of nanoemulsion and nanoencapsulation in the food industry is also discussed.In addition, the book overviews the use of proteins, polysaccharides, microbial and chemically derived materials for food preservation. Discusses recent trends and advancements in sustainable materials applications in food packaging and preservationProvides an overview of various sustainable materials, such as agro-based, microbial derived, and chemical derived materialsCovers fabrication techniques, characterization, and processing of various sustainable materials used for food packaging and preservationIncludes a through discussion of the current sustainable solutions for extending the shelf life of food products in the packaging process INDICE: 1.
