Nanotechnology and Smart Packaging in Food Packaging

Abstract

Increasing consumer awareness of food safety and quality is driving researchers and the food industry to new trends. As a result of the developments in technology, the design and use of materials with different properties have become common today. Some of the developed materials can be modified and / or improved in functions of food packaging. The production of nanomaterials and their combinations with various materials to obtain composites are the most remarkable technologies in recent years and these materials are used in different fields. One of these areas is active and intelligent food packaging systems. Active and intelligent packaging makes more communication possible with the consumer and makes it possible to obtain packages that deliver food in a safer way to the consumer. This review aims to present a brief summary of nanotechnology applications in food packaging and legal regulations for intelligent packaging.
