Nanotechnolgy Applications and Phase Changing Materials in Food Packaging

Abstract

Food industry and researchers tend to new trends due to increasing conscious and demands of consumers for food safety and quality. The functions of food packaging materials could be modified / increased by the applications of new technologies and/or the additions of new materials. Nanotechnological applications in different fields have produced successful results for obtaining composite materials with unusual properties for different purposes. Food packaging is one of these fields. The nano-sized materials or nanocomposites are used in active or smart packaging which communicates with consumers. In this review, nanotechnology applications in food packaging are summarized along with the possible utilization of phase changing materials (PCM) in food packaging. PCMs are already used for maintaining of foods during transportation. It seems that PCM in food packaging is very promising. In addition, manipulation of PCM by nanotechnology appears to have a great potential in food packaging.

Gıda Ambalajlarında Nanoteknolojik Uygulamalar ve Faz Değişim Materyalleri

Abstract

Tüketicilerin gıda güvenliği ve kalitesi konusundaki bilinçlerinin ve taleplerinin artması, araştırmacıları ve gıda endüstrisini yeni eğilimlere yönlendirmektedir. Yeni teknolojilerin ve değişik özelliklere sahip materyallerin kullanımı ile gıda ambalajlarının fonksiyonları değiştirilebilmekte ve/veya arttırılabilmektedir. Son yılların en dikkat çeken teknolojisi nano ölçekli materyal üretimi ve bunların çeşitli malzemelerle birleştirilerek kompozitler elde edilmesi ile değişik alanlarda umut vadeden gelişmeler elde edilmektedir. Bu alanlardan biri aktif ve akıllı gıda ambalajlama sistemleridir. Nanoteknolojik uygulamalarla ve nanokompozitlerin ilave edilmesiyle tüketici ile iletişime geçen ve gıdayı daha güvenli bir şekilde tüketiciye ulaştıran ambalajların elde edilmesi mümkün olmaktadır. Bu derlemede nanoteknolojinin gıda ambalajlarındaki uygulamalarının özetlenmesine ilave olarak faz değişim materyallerinin (FDM) ve nanoteknolojik yöntemlerle özellikleri değiştirilmiş FDM’lerin gıda ambalajlarında kullanılabilirliğine değinilmiştir. Çeşitli alanlarda uygulamaları bulunan FDM’ler, gıdaların taşınma ve muhafazasında kullanılmaktadır. Nanoteknolojik uygulamalarla özellikleri geliştirilen FDM’lerin gıda ambalajlarında kullanımının artacağı öngörülmektedir.
