Innovations in Food Packaging

Editat de Jung H. Han
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 oct 2013
This new edition of Innovations in Food Packaging ensures that readers have the most current information on food packaging options, including active packaging, intelligent packaging, edible/biodegradable packaging, nanocomposites and other options for package design.
Today's packaging not only contains and protects food, but where possible and appropriate, it can assist in inventory control, consumer education, increased market availability and shelf life, and even in ensuring the safety of the food product. As nanotechnology and other technologies have developed, new and important options for maximizing the role of packaging have emerged.
This book specifically examines the whole range of modern packaging options. It covers edible packaging based on carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, antioxidative and antimicrobial packaging, and chemistry issues of food and food packaging, such as plasticization and polymer morphology. Professionals involved in food safety and shelf life, as well as researchers and students of food science, will find great value in this complete and updated overview.


  • Over 60% updated content — including nine completely new chapters — with the latest developments in technology, processes and materials
  • Now includes bioplastics, biopolymers, nanoparticles, and eco-design of packaging

Recenzii

"This is a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art technologies and concepts in the field, written by a team of international food and packaging scientists. Physical chemistry fundamentals are briefly introduced in the first part of the book, and further sections describe specific breakthrough technologies; active and intelligent packaging, edible coating and biopolymers and films… Discussion throughout is rigorous and…quite interesting even to a layman." --ProtoView.com, February 2014
"Innovations in Food Packaging recognizes that food packaging is a fast-growing area that impacts upon the important areas of product shelf-life and food safety. Each chapter provides information on the scientific background, new material development and utilization, and case studies of the use of new system for perishable food products." --European Federation of Food Science and Technology Newsletter, July 2013
