Book Description
Towards more sustainable packaging with biodegradable materials! The combination of the continuously increasing food packaging waste with the non-biodegradable nature of the plastic materials that have a big slice of the packaging market makes it necessary to move towards sustainable packaging for the benefit of the environment and human health. Sustainable packaging is the type of packaging that can provide to food the necessary protection conditions, but at the same type is biodegradable and can be disposed as organic waste to the landfills in order to biodegrade through a natural procedure. In this way, sustainable packaging becomes part of the circular economy. ?Sustainable Food Packaging Technology? deals with packaging solutions that use engineered biopolymers or biocomposites that have suitable physicochemical properties for food contact and protection and originate both from renewable or non-renewable resources, but in both cases are compostable or edible. Modified paper and cardboard with increased protective properties towards food while keeping their compostability are presented as well. The book also covers natural components that can make the packaging functional, e.g., by providing active protection to the food indicating food spoilage. * Addresses urgent problems: food packaging creates a lot of hard-to-recycle waste - this book puts forward more sustainable solutions using biodegradable materials * State-of-the-art: ?Sustainable Food Packaging Technology? provides knowledge on new developments in functional packaging * From lab to large-scale applications: expert authors report on the technology aspects of sustainable packaging

Food Packaging and Shelf Life
Author: Gordon L. Robertson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1420078453
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
The importance of food packaging hardly needs emphasizing since only a handful of foods are sold in an unpackaged state. With an increasing focus on sustainability and cost-effectiveness, responsible companies no longer want to over-package their food products, yet many remain unsure just where reductions can effectively be made. Food Packaging and Shelf Life: A Practical Guide provides package developers with the information they need to specify just the right amount of protective packaging to maintain food quality and maximize shelf life. Current food packaging must take into consideration the biochemical, chemical, physical, and biological changes that occur during processing, distribution, and storage. Organized according to chapters devoted to specific food products, this practical handbook defines the indices of failure for foods as diverse as milk, fruits, bottled water, juices, vegetables, fish, and beef. It discusses the deteriorative reactions for each food and reviews how different packaging materials may influence time to failure and thus shelf life. Other topics included biobased packaging, packaging and the microbial shelf life of foods, and shelf life testing methodology.

Book Description
Food Packaging and Preservation: Techniques, Applications and Technology begins by presenting recent advances in the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry determination of organic food-packaging contaminants. Coverage of all kind of applications is beyond the scope of the present contribution, so the authors focus on the most relevant applications published including sample treatment, determination and confirmation strategies, as well as the use of high resolution mass spectrometry techniques. Following this, the authors aim to summon recent advances in food applications of bio-sourced active films including the aspects that limit their use, strategies for their properties improvement and suggestions for further researches. This volume provides an overview on food packaging material based on chitosan and chitosan derivatives with antimicrobial properties in order to achieve functional systems able to be used as active packaging materials. Additionally, it examines the specific issues related to eco-friendly biopolymer nanocomposites from bacterial cellulose and biopolyesters as a sustainable alternative for food plastic packaging. The use of biopolymer films formulation means reducing food waste which could bring about both environmental and economic benefits. In closing, a study is presented with the goal of ascertaining the effectiveness of low density polyethylene (LDPE) film incorporated with garlic oil for inhibition of food pathogen, Bacillus cereus. The blown film extrusion method was applied to produce film samples added with garlic oil of 2 wt%, 4 wt%, 6 wt% and 8 wt% as well as samples with 0 wt% which served as control throughout the study.
