Modern trends of food packaging
Apstrakt
Packaging has an active role in processing, preservation and retaining the quality of the food. The growing consumers demands for the food that are ready to eat, fresh-tasting, nutrient and vitamin rich and minimally-processed and preserved are a major challenges for the current food industry. In order to realize these demands more significant role is gained to the packaging techniques and materials. Development in packaging is focused primarily towards the better protection of packaged food products, greater reliability, increased functionality, better environmental attributes of packaging, as well as in the development of new materials and packaging technology. In this paper the method of modified (protective) atmosphere packaging, biodegradable packaging as well as active and intelligent packaging are discussed. In addition the advantages of nanoscale materials for application in food packaging is also reviewed.
