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.

Keywords
